Running with the Mind of Meditation: Lessons for Training Body and Mind
About this product
A unique fitness program from a highly respected spiritual leader that blends physical and spiritual practice for everyone - regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability - to great benefits for both body and soul.
As a Tibetan lama and leader of Shambhala (an international community of 165 meditation centers), Sakyong Mipham has found physical activity to be essential for spiritual well-being. He's been trained in horsemanship and martial arts but has a special love for running. Here he incorporates his spiritual practice with running, presenting basic meditation instruction and fundamental principles he has developed. Even though both activities can be complicated, the lessons here are simple and designed to show how the melding of internal practice with physical movement can be used by anyone - regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability - to benefit body and soul.

Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers generally describe this book as inspiring and motivating, especially for readers who both run and meditate. Several Amazon review snippets praise its practical wisdom, easy-to-read style, and the way it connects mindfulness with endurance training.
Goodreads readers are similarly positive overall, with many calling it a “life-changer” or recommending it to runners who want a spiritual or mental-training angle. Review blogs also tend to frame it as a thoughtful, approachable guide rather than a strict running manual, noting that it blends memoir, meditation, and training advice.
