The frenetic pace of today’s society doesn’t make it easy to relax. Yet taking time to reflect or to simply be “in the moment” can not only create calm, it can promote understanding, compassion and forgiveness. Devoted Buddhist, Jeffery Beach shows you how dedicating even a few seconds a day to this kind of awareness can help you find new peace and purpose in your life.

Compassion, awareness, and breathing are key. Lack of humanity, consciousness, and shallow breath compound the stress of modern every day living. Readers of Ten Seconds to Peace all across the country, are gratefully sharing how just a few seconds of compassion, awareness, and simple deep breathing daily, promote more happiness, more creative energy, and a deep sense of peace. All you need is ten seconds a day to begin this gentle, almost effortless process.

Deceptively simple, powerfully transforming, each exercise in the book guides readers into a more peaceful place. While each meditation is meant to be read and experienced, readers can and should select the exercises which feel the most comfortable for them. The practices naturally develop intuition and mindfulness. Beach includes blank pages for creating individual thoughtful moments of silence, encouraging readers to invent personalized visualizations and meditations. Meant to be a journey of enlightenment, this gem of a book shows how taking time out can bring peace and harmony into your life.
