Drinking a cup of coffee brings to mind various images: sitting in a coffee house with friends, sharing great conversation... waking up in the morning with a hot cup of java to open your eyes and get you going... and quiet moments of contemplation over a mug of steaming coffee.

Zen Coffee is for people on the run... an active approach to mindful meditation in every moment of your busy life. It offers you many ways to bring peace and a sense of serenity into all your experiences and activities. As you race through the hectic pace of life with your coffee cup in hand, you'll find a moment or two to de-stress and drink in the essence of Zen... the essence of your inner nature. Inside these pages you'll discover how to:

      *  Zoom into the zest of Zen to make your life more meaningful;

      *  Capture the essence of your inner nature in all your experiences;

      *  Use caffeine to wake up your inner self;

      *  Put the magic of mindfulness into every moment;

      *  Minimize stress and maximize happiness;

      *  Find peace, quiet, and harmony in hidden places in your mind where you never thought to look for them; and

      *  Create a meditation space--a Zen sanctuary and coffee zendo for a few mindful moments of meditation every day.

Capturing the essence of your inner self is as quick and easy as drinking your coffee and being mindful as you race through the ups and downs of all your experiences. A few moments of mindfulness scattered here and there puts the caffeine calm of Zen Coffee into your life.
