Thich Nhat Han's best book,
This review is from: Breathe, You Are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness Of Breathing (Paperback)
This is Thich Nhat Han's best book in my opinion. He gives specific techniques about breathing as a doorway into the now moment, grounding you in the present, calming anxiety and connecting you with the spaciousness that is. He says at one point that if he were about to crash on an airplane, he would practice the breathing exercises written in this breathing sutra. It's more technical than his other works, and the tools he provides are really the heart's doorway into transformation, if practiced. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for practical techniques, of which there are few, into to the spaciousness and joy eastern perspectives can provide to us westerners

Breathe, You are Alive,
By J. Zukav "Intuition Teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breathe, You Are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness Of Breathing (Paperback)
This is a seminal book in my collection of inspirational and instructional books on meditation and mindfulness. Though I had been meditating for years when I first opened this book, I had not yet made the connection between being mindful breath and meditation. This book introduced me to a level of stillness and awareness that I had not encountered before in my practice. Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle spirit and voice comes through his writing and can melt even the most anxious mind. I have a large collection of his books and savor every word of every one. I see that he has a new book coming out. I will be ordering that one too.

Breath Practice brings great benefit,
By C. Bush "Pure Cultivation" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Breathe, You Are Alive: The Sutra on the Full Awareness Of Breathing (Paperback)
Thich Nhat Hanh provides the entirety of the Dharma within the practice of following the breath. I previously thought of this practice as a way to calm my mind so I can then begin some other meditative work. I see now that following the breath can take me to the entirety of the Dharma. I highly recommend this book.

We are so lucky that Thich Nhat Hanh's books and thoughts are still alive! We are so fortunate to be able to benefit from this in the times that we live in today.
