New CD by Bodhipaksa
 The Wisdom of the Breath
by Bodhipaksa (Sounds True, 2009)
Sounds True has published a two-CD audiobook of Bodhipaksa's teachings on how an awareness of the breath can help us break through into an awakened perspective. By exploring three meditation practices, Bodhipaksa reveals how the breath can help you:
- Let go of the past and future, and rest in pure presence
- Dissolve the sense of separateness to experience oneness with the world around you
- Embrace the essential impermanence of all life with serenity and joy
- Tap into your own natural wisdom by exploring the breath as a metaphor for living
The Audiobook is available from Wildmind, Sounds True, and Amazon.

We can't choose what happens to us in life, but we can choose how to respond to it. This piece of practical wisdom is found in the Buddhist tradition, but was also a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. Bodhipaksa explains how we can untangle ourselves from the stories we tell ourselves about our experience.
