Description

“Every thought I think is creating my future.” So begin the 52 affirmations of Ani Trime, a beloved teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition who began her own life as a gruff, plainspoken West Virginian. Noted for her sense of humor and her no-nonsense style of spiritual practice, Trime believed that anyone could learn to loosen the grip of negative thoughts by cultivating more healing, helpful ways of thinking in the garden of the mind. This practical approach to fostering peace and positivity is at the heart of these accessible, enlightening, and uplifting affirmations — one for each week of the year — that will resonate with everyone. Collected in an appealing, pocket-size volume, Ani Trime’s Little Book of Affirmations features original illustrated interpretations of each affirmative expression from 39 well-known contemporary commercial artists.

Featured Reviews

This compilation was a clear demonstration of the amount of love and respect had for Ani Trime. The affirmations are wonderful for both experienced and novice practitioners and the introduction provides simple instructions if this is your first foray into meditation. I loved the art associated with each affirmation; the varied artists give the book a playful tone. I also felt each image provides the reader with something to focus their meditation on if they are struggling to clear their mind. Though I read this in one sitting, I intend to go back through it at a leisurely pace and implementing it into my daily meditations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book.
