Got to thinking about the importance of mindfulness this morning. I did this review back in 2012. This is an art I've learned through Yoga. Taking time to just be is vitally important.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quiet the Mind<\/a><\/em> by Matthew Johnstone<\/a> is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The way the book is constructed is truly captivating. The only way I can describe it is simplicity. The book only took me 30 minutes to read and I was fully engaged the entire time. I don't know if it's available for Kindle<\/a> or the iPad<\/a>, but it would definitly be a good book for that format.<\/p>\n

Now for the content. Mr. Johnstone takes you on a journey through the art of meditation. He does this in a non-threatening way. So regardless of your religious or thought-clearing methods you won't feel uncomfortable. The author gets high marks for this. He also speaks to the reader in a way that you can't help but relate to. It's as if Mr. Johnstone knew you before you even read a page.<\/p>\n

This book is illustrated beautifully and the words used are an equal companion. I highly recommend this book. It inspired me on multiple levels.<\/p>\n
