The Art of Mindful Silence by Adam Ford

The Art of Mindful Silence by Adam Ford

The Art of Mindful Silence explores our existential search for mindful solitude, what it can mean, and how we can all benefit from peaceful solace. Silence-seeker Adam Ford wisely interrogates the quiet spaces and pauses in life, drawing upon the spirtual use of solitude in religious traditions from Native American intitiation ceremonies to Christian hermitages. He examines the creative power of silence as a source of inner strength and self-knowledge, and also reveals its darker side when used as a political or relationship weapon. Through personal anecdote and practical daily meditations, The Art of Mindful Silence shows how we can all find moments of soothing peace to nourish our spirits in an increasingly chaotic world.

Adam Ford is an ordained Anglican priest, now retired and living in the south of England. He was formerly Priest-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen at the Chapel Royal, chaplain to a London school, and vicar of a Yorkshire mill town. He has an MA in Indian religions and regularly lectures on Buddhism, Hinduism and astronomy. Adam is also author of The Art of Mindful Walking (Leaping Hare Press).
