A home practice for mindfulness

Making Space connects mindfulness practice with the rhythms of home life. Thich Nhat Hanh presents practical exercises for establishing a dedicated place to pause, using a bell as a reminder to return to the present, and practicing breathing, sitting, and walking meditation. The guidance also extends into shared routines: a household exercise for steering conversations toward harmony, along with mindful cooking and eating. This combination makes the book both a guide to individual practice and an exploration of how attention can shape everyday domestic spaces and interactions. Its focus on creating a personal sanctuary is framed for times of stress, transition, and change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People new to mindfulness who want practical guidance for a home practice.
  • Individuals, couples, or families interested in bringing meditation into household routines.
  • Readers interested in Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on Buddhist practice.
