How to Sit by Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh offers short teachings for approaching sitting meditation with attention and ease. The opening volume of the Mindfulness Essentials series combines clear instructions with breathing exercises, visualizations and stories drawn from his own teaching experience.

Single-paragraph chapters make it possible to read a little before returning to practice. Sumi-ink drawings by Jason DeAntonis accompany an introduction suited both to new meditators and to experienced readers revisiting the basics of sitting and mindful breathing.
