Two Spheres, One Breath
A Taoist Journey into Presence, Balance, and Inner CalmBy Surya Sharma
Length5h 50m
About this audiobook
Two Spheres, One Breath is a gentle journey into the ancient Taoist practice of Chinese meditation balls and the deeper philosophy behind them. Through history, reflection, and mindful practice, this book explores how simple movements can become a doorway into stillness, awareness, and presence.
Blending Taoist wisdom with practical guidance, it invites readers to slow down, reconnect with their senses, and rediscover the quiet rhythm beneath everyday life. More than a guide to meditation balls, this is a journey into patience, balance, and the art of being fully present.
