Mindful Travelling

Lovely little book on how to apply mindfulness to travel. Useful to read before a trip and during. I'll be taking it on my next journey for sure

I love the mindful series by Leaping Hare Press and this latest is a lovely addition to the meditative collection.

The author, a seasoned traveler-mindfulness practitioner, offers a compelling guide to visiting the world with heart wide open, allowing each new experience to change one in the marrow.

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” — Martin Buber

Samuel provides stories of transformative travel paired with mindfulness exercises, revealing time on the road as a wise teacher that can remake us in the moment and in life, if we are but open.

Highly recommended for travelers new, seasoned or arm-chaired!

This is a fantastic little book for taking on holiday with you or for reading just before you go. It will remind you to stop and smell the roses and to slow down and appreciate everything around you. I think it will enhance your senses and help you make the most of each day. It left me yearning for a holiday so I could be more aware and mindful when I travel. It even addresses the touchy subjects of poverty and the not too pleasant experiences we might encounter while travelling. Overall a blissful little book that should be a must read for all travellers wanting to experience something deeper and more meaningful from their travels.

Good insight to doing travel. A different look into travelling for you, the planet and those around you. Makes you think a few points.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion!

Wonderful guide to mindfulness while you travel as the author gives us excellent examples on your journey to mindfulness and state of being.

Favorite Quote .... many of us are not used to our own company, solo travel gives us that!

What did I like? Author gave us a few exercises to practice mindfulness and I felt like they would work. Life becomes hectic and social media is full of vacation photos and pics but I wonder truly how much are we letting go. Even on vacation I feel hurried, when all I want to do is sit and relax. I’m guilted into doing things I don’t want to just to satisfy a child or person I’m with.

Would I buy this book? I’m told this might be part of a series, of mindfulness books that are being released so I would pick up this book. Mindfulness is something I feel that happens more as you get older and you realize the years have passed. You want more quality and not quantity.

Thoughts for the author? Loved some of the quotes, and thanks for allowing an ARC, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

GoodReads:
This is truly a beautifully designed book. I am sure it would make a lovely gift for the traveler or want-to-be-traveler in your life. For me personally, the balance of content was a bit off. It was focused entirely on traveling for pleasure. I was hoping to see some information on traveling for work. While it does discuss anxiety from traveling, it's mostly about anxiety regarding missing connections etc... but very little about things like going through security. Overall it felt like an introduction to mindfulness for traveling for fun, and I was hoping for something a bit more in-depth.
