Drinking a cup of coffee brings to mind various images: sitting in

a coffee house with friends, sharing great conversation ... waking up

in the morning with a hot cup of java to open your eyes and get you

going ... and quiet moments of contemplation over a mug of steaming

coffee.

    Zen Coffee is a book for people on the run—an active approach to mindful meditation in every moment of your busy life. It offers you many ways to bring peace and a sense of serenity into all your experiences and activities. As you race through the hectic pace of life with your coffee cup in hand, you’ll find a moment or two to de-stress and drink in the essence of your inner nature.

    Inside the book, you’ll quickly discover how to:

       * Zoom into the zest of Zen to make your life more meaningful;

       * Capture the essence of your inner nature in all your experiences;

       * Use caffeine to wake up your inner self;

       * Put the magic of mindfulness into every moment;

       * Minimize stress and maximize happiness;

       * Find peace, quiet, and harmony in hidden places in your mind where

             you never thought to look for them; and

       * Work with pizazz and power to create a meditation space—a Zen sanctuary

             and safe haven for a few magical moments of meditation every day.

    Capturing the essence of your inner self is as easy as drinking your coffee and being

mindful as you race through the ups and downs of your experiences. A few seconds of

mindfulness scattered here and there puts the caffeine calm of Zen coffee into your life.
