From a Buddhist perspective, everything affects our consciousness and enters metaphorically as a seed. This occurs through the development of the practice of mindfulness and using its tools to maintain a state of awareness and openness to self and others. Readers interested in Zen Buddhism will learn how to nurture such seeds as compassion, joy, and generosity and discover how to use personal challenges, such as jealousy, anger and self-doubt, as a means of growth. Drawing on precepts from many faiths and traditions, The Seeds of Love fosters the practice of using simple, basic actions to reach the best within ourselves and share it with those around us. It will be an invaluable guide to anyone seeking deeper and more conscious relationships.

But that is the reality for the book Moment by Moment which, in its new incarnation, is titled Practicing Mindfulness: Finding Calm and Purpose in Your Everyday Life. Mindfulness is a very front burner concept in the world of spirituality, and Jerry Braza is a leading spokesperson for that practice. In this book, Jerry articulates the many virtues of mindful living, breath awareness, “lingering longer,” and their importance and impact for the health of our body, mind, and spirit. Like his teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, Jerry lives what he writes, he practices what he preaches. In his quiet, gentle way, he embodies the essence of mindfulness, and he exudes the peace and joy that is the fruit of being mindfully present to the present. In this new edition, Jerry communicates the wisdom gleaned over the twenty-five years since his earlier writing; it is a book that has life-changing potential. —Tom Stella, Author of CPR for the Soul and In Sync with the Sacred, Out of Step with the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5c131409963914a634179f/1601312914324-HZEB41R9XK5ELA4IYCVU/fabrizio-chiagano-rDwIXsgb2LY-unsplash.jpg Endorsements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5c131409963914a634179f/1600921858545-45JJAMOGM0FY9GPM994C/image-asset.jpeg Endorsements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5c131409963914a634179f/1600920946197-QLP22AQ86PR6QWHJUMPA/jay-castor-7AcMUSYRZpU-unsplash.jpg Endorsements Nothing is more precious than our loving relatedness with each other.
