Paramananda’s latest book…is beautifully simple, earthy, inviting a subtle, sensitive and poetic meeting of ourselves… This book will help you find your way back to your own vulnerable heart... – Jayaraja, Chair of Buddhafield, author of The Yellow Book of Games and Energizers
A critical and necessary book to read, to practise and to embody. Brilliant in its depth and simplicity, Paramananda allows meditation to become poetry, to return to its “original face.” – Michael Shea, PhD, meditation teacher and founder of sheaheart.com
Paramananda beautifully examines how spiritual practice is both a deeply intimate relationship with oneself, and inextricably connected to the world we live in. He brings far-reaching Buddhist teachings down to earth and encourages us to be curious, as we simply sit with the breathing body, or open to suffering – our own and others' – in such a way that liberates the heart. – Vajradevi, meditation teacher and author of uncontrivedmindfulness.net
