As an evolution of, and a departure from, her best-selling journals, Practice You and Being You, Brower draws on her memories and life experiences, her practice of yoga and Nonviolent Communication, and more recently, her study of Zen, to offer us a road map for living with presence and reverence.

Each chapter offers teachings, contemplations, and prompts on a single theme, such as:

  • Establishing presence in your daily life
  • Bearing witness to small moments of reverence
  • Embracing the art of not knowing
  • Invoking the wisdom of emptiness and stillness

and more.

She also includes 45 pieces of her full-color artwork to inspire deeper insight and creativity as readers explore each theme. This is not a manual for self-improvement; it is a field guide for self-remembrance, for cultivating tenderness toward your own heart, and for showing up to life completely, with purpose and heartfulness.
