Blooming of a Lotus: Essential Guided Meditations for Mindfulness, Healing, and Transformation

Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Blooming of a Lotus offers guided exercises for mindfulness practice. This revised and expanded work explores attention to the body, feelings and emotions, relationships, and the environment shared with other beings.

Written for both beginning and experienced practitioners, it provides a contemplative resource for returning to present experience. The healing language in the subtitle concerns the book’s meditative approach, not a promise of treating a medical condition.
