Mindfulness has been a powerful tool, enabling me to quiet my mind when I need to, and granting me the strength and focus needed to address problems rather than worry about them. As I continued on my mindfulness journey, I began to feel that there was something missing. I then noticed that my spiritual side was unfulfilled. As I explored first Yoga, then Vipassana Meditation, I found what I was looking for. I hope that this book does the same for you.
