Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh shares relaxing meditations and mindfulness techniques in this pocket-sized guide about the importance of taking the time to stop, relax, and recharge. How to Relax is part of The Mindfulness Essentials series of how-to titles by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, introducing beginners and reminding seasoned practitioners of the essentials of mindfulness practice. Pocket-sized, with original two color illustrations by celebrated artist Jason DeAntonis, How to Relax shows how critical it is to regularly interrupt the hub-bub and routine of our lives to stop, relax mindfully, and recharge. Thich Nhat Hanh says that when we relax, we “become calm water, and we will reflect reality as it is. If we’re not calm, the image we reflect will be distorted. When the image is distorted by our minds, it’s not the reality, and it causes lots of suffering.” Relaxation is essential for accessing the tranquility and joy that lead to increased personal well-being. With sections on healing, relief from nonstop thinking, transforming unpleasant sounds, solitude, being peace, and more, How to Relax includes meditations you can do to help you achieve the benefits of relaxation no matter where you are. Scientific studies indicate that meditation contributes tremendously to well-being, general health, and longevity. How to Relax is a unique gift for those who want a simple guide to achieving deep relaxation, controlling stress, and renewing mental freshness and clarity, appropriate for those practicing in any spiritual tradition, whether seasoned practitioners or new to meditations.

Chale jo do kadam saath woh, (As she ambles the aisle with me) To unke saath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be enmeshed in her companionship forever) Thaame jo Pyaar se mera haath woh, (As she seizes my hand with tender love) To apne hi haath se Pyaar ho jaye, (May I be ensnared by the charm of my own hand) Hota hai agar itna khoobsurat yeh Pyaar, (If love is so alluring and prepossessing) To aye Khuda unhe bhi mere Pyaar se Pyaar ho jaye! (Oh omniscient being! May she be enchanted by my love) It was 5 in the morning when I blinked open an eye to wake up. I was in deep sleep till some time ago, and it felt as if someone had lovingly caressed my hair. But when I opened my eyes, there was no one there. For a few precious moments, I felt the sensation of that loving touch that I had experienced since childhood. It seemed as if that sensation was all around me. Now that presence was close to me; my Radha in the form of Annu was in my life. Divine Love of Two Souls is a story of those emotions that this generation has perhaps lost along the way.

Adventure, travel, and self-discovery come together in this remarkable memoir about a woman’s solo motorcycle journey on the edge of India. C.L. Stambush—never having ridden a motorcycle before—set out alone on a Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in 1997 to reinvent herself. Her solo five-month, 6,989-mile, can-do journey beautifully merges India's unpredictable and vibrant world with the author’s inner desire to be bold. Untethered: A Woman’s Search for Self on the Edge of India takes readers on an immersive journey filled with stunning scenery, cultural insights, and unforgettable encounters. As she navigates India's chaotic roads, Stambush faces numerous challenges—crashing her motorcycle (named Kali after the Hindu Goddess), losing her camera, and grappling with moments of self-doubt and fear. Each experience pushes her beyond her comfort zone and leads to profound personal growth. Stambush's storytelling is as gripping as it is inspiring, making this memoir a must-read for anyone seeking an authentic and adventurous experience.
