Peace of mind is everything. #MeditationTechniquesForBeginners #MeditationTecnniquesForCityDwellers #CityLife JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/StillintheCity/ Thought Leaders in cities across America come together in an anthology to share how they maintain a peaceful mindset when life gets chaotic in chaotic environments. They have collaborated and released a book on Mindfulness Meditation Practices, called STILL, IN THE CITY. It is edited by Angela Dews, pictured here with contributor. Editorial Reviews “Both practical and poetic, Still, in the City provides enormously helpful advice on how to undertake serious dharma practice where the vast majority of us actually live. This is a beautiful, rich anthology that fills a critical gap in the literature.” —Sumi Loundon Kim, Yale University, author of Sitting Together: A Family-Centered Curriculum on Mindfulness, Meditation, and Buddhist Teachings “This is a book for those whose spiritual practice lives in the fierce light of day. As a New Yorker, a collection of authentic, personal expressions like these are critical…. Still, in the City is as critical for beginners interested in exploring mindfulness practice as it is for those devoted to the justice, equity, and love of a fully expressed Buddhadharma.” —Greg Snyder, Senior Director & Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies, Union Theological Seminary, Dharma Teacher & Senior Priest, Brooklyn Zen Center BUY: https://www.amazon.com/Still-City-Creating-Peace-Midst/dp/1510732330/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=still%2C+in+the+city+dews&qid=1570222573&s=books&sr=1-1 #StillInTheCity #AngelaDews
