The Wooden Bowl: Simple Meditations for Everyday Life

4/5 ( ratings)

"In poetic simplicity, Clark Strand makes meditation as effortless as breathing, as intimate as a heartbeat, as joyous as a child." --Hugh Prather, author of Notes to Myself and Spiritual Parenting"I asked myself one question: Was there a way for people to slow down and experience themselves, their lives, and other people in the present moment without adopting a new religious or philosophical ideology"

In The Wooden Bowl, now in paperback, meditation teacher and author Clark Strand explains in short, simple chapters how to meditate on your own or within a group--the only requirement being that you maintain a spirit of lightness and friendliness, without goals or expectations. The secret of meditation lies in understanding that we all have an inner steadiness and calm that we can access right away, without obsessively monitoring or telling ourselves what to do.

"The Wooden Bowl is a terrific book. Just reading it slows me down, reminds me in the most simple quiet language that I'm here--now. How sweet! I love the way Strand writes." --Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones
