Inspired by the work of the major charity the Prison Phoenix Trust, this beautifully illustrated guide provides an approachable introduction to the uplifting, liberating practice of meditation. First, the book walks the reader through the basics of meditation step-by-step, and includes tips on how to clear one's mind of distractions such as lack of privacy or negative thoughts. Next, the benefits of meditation are explored through a collection of intimate letters from real inmates. After wrestling with issues they thought they'd never resolve, including drug addiction, mental illness, guilt, grief and marginalisation, meditation put these people in touch with their true inner strength, and helped them find peace inside.
Industry Reviews
'What a wonderful book. Clear, friendly, supportive, this is a superb manual and introduction to meditation practice, not just for people inside, but for all of us, inside and out. The writing from the prisoners is moving and luminous, and shows us all what meditation can do for a human being - the book is a teaching and a gift for us all.'- Henry Shukman, writer, poet and Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center, USA 'This powerful book of hope and healing is both a guide, and a moving account of prisoners' struggles and successes as they learn to meditate, and to make sense of their life and prison experiences. It is written for prisoners, but it has much wider relevance too. It is about friendship, love, and living truthfully. It draws on correspondence over many years between Prison Phoenix Trust staff and prisoners, showing how human beings can survive, and even flourish, in the most testing circumstances. This works when we are helped to reclaim the peace in ourselves, and to share it with others. Sam Settle's Peace Inside is full of humanity. Read it!'- Alison Liebling, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge
