Chapter 7

Coming Home to Everyday Life

These practices invite you to bring mindful awareness into the texture of ordinary life. Rather than reserving mindfulness for formal sitting practice, this chapter explores how presence, curiosity, and steadiness can become part of how you move through your day.
