The art of meeting
Being gentle with yourself in a crazy world
In a world that is constantly racing
and 'improving yourself' is a daily goal,
a silent but powerful invitation sounds:
♡ What if you don't have to do anything?
♡ What if you didn't have to change at all?
♡ What if you embraced yourself exactly as you are?
In this special book, Leni Cellini shows you the way to gentleness with yourself.
Let yourself be carried away by her lived and vulnerable testimonies,
interspersed with pieces of mindful poetry straight from the heart.
The book consists of several chapters,
in which a certain belief is always central:
#1 I always have to be productive
#2 I must always stay strong
#3 I'm not allowed to be angry
#4 I'm not good enough the way I am
#5 I have to do everything alone
Each chapter ends with a piece of 'mindful poetry'.
Words that bubbled up spontaneously from the silence.
That were never meant to end up in a book,
but which turned out to fit the themes wonderfully.
May this book touch your heart, stir your mind
and let you taste the art of meeting.
Leni Cellini (°1983) has been practicing meditation and mindfulness for 20 years. The tradition of Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh is her main source of inspiration. In addition, Tara Brach, Jeff Foster and other teachers have also shaped her. Since 2011, she has guided people on their path to more freedom and softness, both individually and in groups. She is the founder of the organization 'Ont-moeten'. In addition to meditation and silence, she also enjoys dancing, singing and writing songs.
