The Little Workbook – Meditations for Every Day

This little workbook brings together daily meditations written by Marc de Smedt, translated from French by Claudia Seele-Nyima and illustrated by Jean Augagneur. Across 64 pages, you’ll find concise exercises that can be incorporated into your daily routine without having to set aside any extra time.

At its heart, the book focuses on breathing, concentration and mindfulness: just a few minutes a day are enough to bring the whirlwind of thoughts – which quickly gains momentum when you’re stressed, annoyed or worried – to a halt.

What emerges as a result is a more relaxed outlook on life, simply as a consequence of this small daily practice.

Marc de Smedt is a French writer, journalist and publisher who has been exploring meditation and the wisdom traditions of the East and West for decades. In 1972, he met the Zen master Taisen Deshimaru, becoming his disciple, publisher and friend. He founded the magazine ‘Nouvelles Clés’, edited several book series on spirituality and published numerous works on meditation, Zen and the search for inner clarity.
