The Author
A writer, teacher and lifelong student of stillness — drawing on twenty years of practice and conversations with the world’s great wellness thinkers.
Read the opening pages.
On the morning I learned to breathe again, the room was the same, the light was the same, and somehow nothing was the same at all. We rarely notice the breath until it asks to be noticed — and when we do, we begin a quiet rearrangement of every other ordinary thing.
This book is not a programme. It is an invitation to return — to a body you already inhabit, to a present you have not quite arrived in, and to the slow art of attending to a single, ordinary breath.
What readers are saying.
A book to slow you down without ever feeling slow. I underlined the whole of chapter four and then started again.
Tender, exact, and quietly transformative. The kind of writing that asks nothing of you and gives back everything.
I have given away seven copies. Buy one for yourself and one for the person you most want to be kind to.
A book to keep close.
Printed slowly on uncoated, recycled stock — designed to live on a bedside table, in a tote, on the studio floor.
