We can't heal with our minds alone. Thinking can be something productive
and creative, but without integrating body and mind, much of our
thinking is useless and unproductive. In Peace of Mind, Zen master
Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that integrating body and mind is the only
way to be fully alive in each moment, without getting lost in our
thoughts while walking, cooking, driving, and going about our everyday
lives. Only by cultivating a mindful body and an embodied mind can we be
fully alive. Bringing together ancient wisdom and contemporary thinking,
Thich Nhat Hanh says it's like hardware and software--if you don't have
both, you can't do anything.
Peace of Mind provides a foundation for beginning mindfulness
practices and understanding the principles of mind/body awareness. By
learning how our physical body and mind are inseparable in creating our
own perceptions and experiences we can begin to trust and nourish our
ability to create well-being.
