In a Moment, in a Breath: 55 Meditations to Cultivate a Courageous Heart
ORDERED JUN 26/24; INGRAM
“In a moment, in a breath, we can drop in and have the wherewithal to meet whatever the moment is offering.”
Featuring the original artwork of Roshi Joan Halifax, this collection of cards offers short and powerful meditative practices that allow you to tune in, still the mind, and cultivate courage—in just a moment’s time.
These short potent meditative practices and contemplations are the perfect elixir for today’s hectic, turbulent world.
Collected in a practical card deck format, the 55 meditations allow you to tune in to your natural wisdom, even amid great difficulties. The cards are inspired by the elements—Earth/Grounding, Water/Living by Vow, Fire/Meeting the Boundless Heart, Air/Being with Dying, and Space/Coming Home to Wisdom. Draw a card each week for just over a year of guided practice, or shuffle the deck to draw a mini-meditation as needed. Meditations like “Anchoring the Mind,” “Nourishing Courage,” “Transforming Grief,” and “Letting Go of Fear” help cultivate compassion, mindfulness, and calm, and will benefit both seasoned meditators and beginners alike.
The deck is accompanied by a short accordion booklet, with introductory material from the author providing context and instructions for using the deck, and the cards are paired with stunning full-color calligraphy paintings by the author. The package is a cigar-style box with a magnetic closure.
