The Korean Art of Living Well: The Eight Keys of Living Meditation for Balance and Transformation

Discover the concepts behind the ancient Korean art of living meditation to find balance and happiness, resolve conflict calmly, walk through stress and let go of what is holding you back – all while living your dynamic life.

Most forms of meditation ask us to be still and quiet, to take time away from our lives. Dr Jenelle Kim introduces us to the practice of living meditation – myung sung – passed down through generations of Tao masters in her family, which encourages the opposite. Living meditation is a way of achieving peace while still being active.

Through ancient Korean wisdom and stories, and with practical tools throughout, this book will introduce you to the eight simple steps of living meditation:

1. Know your true self
2. The true-right-correct method
3. Stop being drunk on your own thoughts
4. How will you be remembered?
5. Seek connectedness and honour
6. Change your reality for the better
7. It only takes one match to light a thousand
8. Be like bamboo

Connect to your limitless reserves of natural energy and discover how your struggles – in work, relationships, health and money – can become less difficult.

Weave these ancient teachings into your everyday experiences to transform the way you live, and to uncover a sense of balance between the mind, body and spirit.
