The Mindful Universe

The ​Mindful Universe explores the scientific workings of the Universe, its awe-inspiring nature, and how it can be partnered with mindfulness to bring meaning to our lives.

Part of the Mindfulness series, this book ​looks at science through the lens of mindfulness and spirituality, bringing together two seemingly opposed beliefs through topics such as: The journey of a photon; Our chemical origins from the birth of stars; The nature of time; The limits to our senses; The beauty of nebulae; Non-duality and quantum theory... and much more!

Mark Westmoquette takes you on a fascinating journey through space, time, our mind, and the mysteries of the cosmos in this lovingly-written book. Through practical meditations, facts, and anecdote, he points the reader to a life-affirming realization: that when we start to observe things mindfully, just as they really are, we start to find the secrets of the Universe revealing themselves before our very eyes.
