Description

A unique, fast and fun way of reaching a calm and mindful state using the physical pages of a book. With a soothing tone and reference to modern life, the book features 25 exercises that bring about a sense of mindful awareness as you interact with the page.
Some find it hard to reach a state of mindfulness simply by following written instructions. Apps offer interactive support but come with all the distractions of their host devices. Here and Now provides a quick and enjoyable way of achieving a mindful state using only the pages of the book.

Each exercise features an engaging illustration that gently guides you towards a state of mindfulness as you interact with the page. The exercises are focussed around the themes of breathing, deep relaxation, compassion, gratitude, and interconnectedness, to mention just a few. The pages can be returned to again and again and used at any time to comfort, calm and inspire.

Here and Now's refreshing and unique take on mindfulness will appeal to those who already have some experience of the practice, whilst its light-hearted and friendly approach makes it a simple and compelling guide for beginners.
