This is my first book, published on the 10th of October, 2018. It was published in the very first year when I started up writing, which was exactly in May 2018.

"329 Haiku Poems For Your Spiritual Practice" is a collection of Zen free-form haikus that are created to inspire you more in your practice, on your spiritual path.

Each haiku (short 3 lines Japanese zen poem) is intended to be read slowly and meditated upon. It will bring mindfulness and improve meditation to the one who practices it.

The book is organized in 29 categories, all related to virtues, human traits and spiritual terms such as acceptance, awareness, compassion, mindfulness, freedom, nature, Buddha-nature, contemplation, emptiness, Enlightenment, equanimity, gratitude, humbleness, presence, joyfulness and so on.

Currently, the book is available as an eBook on all major platforms and also as a print-on-demand softcover book, only on European Amazon websites.

I am planning to record this eBook as an Audio Book soon, for those of you who are usually on the run and have less time to read.

Here's the GoodReads link to the book

Mindfulness

1. A lily’s scent passes on
Over the trees
Of the silent mind, at night.

2. The painting tries to express
The mixed feelings of the painter
A butterfly rests effortlessly on its corner.

3. And at some point
Mindfulness arose all of the sudden,
Out of the thousands gaps of meditation.

4. A full day in mindful spirit
Cleans up thousands of unaware moments,
I am washing carefully my hands clean.

5. Not sloppy but also not too tense
Finding my balance
In this fast paced world.

6. Inside my mind
Empty of thoughts,
Everything else reflects as in a mirror.

7. Poised with concentration
I rest alert, with a clean mind,
Everything is as it should be.

8. Everyday, digging the fountain of mindfulness,
The more I dig,
The more water it can hold.

9. The more tranquil my mind is
The more unique and beautiful
My drapes have become.

10. Me and the curtain close to me
Are inseparable friends
In whatever I write.

11. Being one with any object I might choose
From my immediate surroundings
The bigger the object, the more peaceful my mind is.

12. This cup of coffee
Contains in itself
All my future mental projections.

I'm in the process of finishing up editing a Zen haiku love poems book, that will probably be available next year (2020), somewhere in January or February.

The book will first be available in eBook format on all major online stores and after 1-2 weeks also in paperback (softcover format), only on European Amazon stores + a few others, as print-on-demand.

It will be a delight to read, especially for you dreamers out there with a sense for romance, passion and kindness.

I personally think it is the perfect Christmas gift or something that your girl or partner would definitely appreciate. I tried to keep the poems meaningful and focused on love, in all its aspects.

Coming in effect the 2nd of March 2020, I have updated my first haiku poems book, "329 Haiku Poems For Your Spiritual Practice".

The book now has 153 pages, in both eBook and paperback version, and contains updated poems and also descriptive information for all chapters.

Everything is reorganized so the flow of the paperback and also of the eBook is smoother, becoming a real study book for the contemplative spiritual practitioner.

My first solid spiritual title, "Mindfulness in Your Everyday Life", will be out on the 21st of August, 2020.

This is the 1st book from the series called "The Golden Path", which will feature a long list of 13 books, that will give any beginner on the spiritual path a solid reference in spiritual practices, practicing the virtues, and glimpses into the regular life of a spiritual practitioner.

"Mindfulness in Your Everyday Life" is a book that you need to have if you are looking to be more conscious in your daily decisions, and if you want to see life through a clear and unobstructed perception.

The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society.

This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view.

Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth for you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, to our relationship that we have with this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we befriend and transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment.

I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.
