My new publication comes out tomorrow!
The wonderful people at Sounds True are bringing out a double-CD set of my teachings on the Mindfulness of Breathing practice tomorrow (Jan 1, 2009). It’s called “Still the Mind” and it’s a step-by-step guide to the four stages of the practice, illuminating the principles underlying each stage and explaining the various ways that our awareness of the breath can be used to cultivate calmness, energy, mental integration, and one-pointed concentration.
Here’s a bit of the blurb.
The average person has 12,000 thoughts per day—most of them a recurring handful of unwelcome distractions. On Still the Mind, master meditation teacher Bodhipaksa offers an essential program for anyone looking to move beyond the chatter of a too-busy mind, while laying the foundation for a daily meditation practice. Two CDs of instruction and guided sitting sessions will help you discover the breath as an untapped source of mental clarity and inner peace, as you transcend the hectic demands of everyday life and learn to settle into the deepest parts of yourself. Bodhipaksa’s gentle teaching style and straightforward delivery take the mystery out of meditation. His step-by-step instruction will help you to cultivate your own daily practice right in the middle of your busy life, as you explore
I think this would make a great gift for the person in your life that needs to learn to calm down and become happier (and that person may be you!).

Congrats! You’re right – it would make a great gift. So where do we get it?
Hi Alexandra,
Just click on the link that says “check it out” or the one that says “Still the Mind” and you’ll be taken to Sounds True’s online store. They have a nice shiny red button that says “buy”!
All the best,
Bodhipaksa
Congratulations! I really look forward to hearing your teachings.
Many thanks for your kind thoughts, Danny. It’s good to know that we have a more-or-less direct connection through Justin — only one degree of separation!
