See, Love, Be: Mindfulness and the Spiritual Life: A Practical Eight-Week Guide with Audio MP3 CD Meditations

by Tim Stead

Many have been hugely helped by mindfulness practice. But how do we move beyond our initial goal of functioning well to live a life marked by deep awareness, genuine compassion and ease of being?

Tim Stead is an accredited mindfulness teacher who seeks to explore this very question. Offering new versions of familiar practices, he meditates on three key themes – see, love, be – that connect strongly with the concerns of many great spiritual traditions.

This warm-hearted book will resonate as much with those who do not have a faith commitment as with those who do.

‘Thoughtful and intensely practical, See, Love, Be offers a fascinating insight into the human condition. I particularly enjoyed the use of the well-judged poems at the end of each chapter.’
Michael Mosley, science journalist, TV presenter and producer

This book was excellent for me as accompanied by an 8-week mindfulness course with the author himself. Having been practicing meditation for more than 15 years I went into this not expecting to learn a huge amount extra, but the simplicity of the book and the structure (it may need to be accompanied by the sessions to have full effect) had a life changing impact in terms of an increase in speed and ease into which to get into this state, and a greater variety of scenarios and use cases with which to explore it more deeply. The spiritual aspect I also thought was integrated well, it is for people of all faiths or of no particular faith, but mentions some of the linkages with Christian, Buddhist etc saints and spiritual teachers down the ages. I recommend the book, and of all the mindfulness courses out there, I recommend Tim's if you can find it.

I just didn’t find this at all helpful. Maybe there will be a time when it will resonate with me but for now it just didn’t seem to make any sense.
It seems a little confused and neither one thing or the other. Christian, Buddhist, mindful? It didn’t settle in any category and I think that is why I found it hard.

Probably a helpful book for many- but not me.
