As an awakened Mindfulness Teacher, Jacqui Macdonald has met hundreds of people who have innocently bought into the mindset that the only way to achieve true success and fulfilment is by working to the point of exhaustion.
As summer approaches, Macdonald has a bold message for people – particularly women – everywhere; that doing less is going to rapidly propel them to “being” more.
In her celebrated book, ‘The Lost Art of Being: Secrets to a Calm, Happy, Easy Life’, Macdonald calls on ancient wisdom and modern living to prove that anyone can be happy in a way that’s shockingly simple.
Synopsis:
The Lost Art of Being is a little book about doing less and being more. Capturing the wisdom of ancient sages on how to be happy and roll with the Universe, it applies these sacred secrets to our busy modern lives. Offering direct teachings illustrated by remarkable personal insights from the author’s own experiences, it encourages the reader to discover the immense power of slowing down, letting heart rule head, and remembering how just to be.
It is based on the premise that as human beings, it is only when we look after both aspects of ourselves – human and being – that we can fully relax into our lives. It teaches us how to over-ride the mind to get in touch with our being and receive greater guidance from the Universe.
The book encourages us to release the need for incessant doing – choosing instead to pause long enough to realise that our thoughts are not real. This allows us to tune into Universal guidance and let our lives unfold far beyond the barriers of convention.
