Simple, warm, direct, and startlingly potent, this book reveals the heart of the Buddhist path and helps us to reconnect with the joy and wonder of being alive, regardless of life’s changing circumstances. 

In, out. It is enough to breathe. 

Deep, slow. Simply witness your breath. 

Calm, ease. Let go and relax - no thoughts, no plans, no agenda. 

Smile, release. Connect to our self, here and now, body and mind, all and whole. 

We are here, completely alive. That is the magic and miracle of life.
