This is the 1996 edition of The Long Road Turns to Joy—one of the few books focused completely on mindful walking and walking meditation.
Written in Thích Nhất Hạnh’s clear and accessible style, The Long Road Turns To Joy reminds us that we “walk not in order to arrive, but walk just for walking.” Touching the Earth with our feet is an opportunity to live in the here and now. Thích Nhất Hạnh reminds us to enjoy each step and each breath in order to regain peace in difficult moments.
The simple practice of walking with attention and mindfulness can bring the spirit of prayer into our everyday life. This book will appeal to anyone who would like to get more out of walking, from long-time meditators to those who are just looking for a way to make their walk around the block more meaningful.
Features photographs of walking meditation from around the world.
