Mindfulness and Surfing:

Reflections for Saltwater Souls

Sam Bleakley

Mindfulness and Surfing casts a fresh perspective on this popular sport, and explores how riding the waves can be the ultimate meditation. Engaging author Sam Bleakley takes us on a soulful journey across the tideline of his personal and philosophical travels. Through lunar cycles and river surfing to the Taoism of nature, he reveals an acute awareness of what the oceans can tell us about our place in the natural world. Meditating on one of natureâ s greatest elements â its salty swells, flow and peaks â he shares life lessons in mindfulness that will be relished by surfer and non-surfer alike.

His travel writing has been published in international surfing magazines such as Carve, Pacific Longboarder, Surf News, and The Surfer's Path, and he is the author of Mindful Thoughts for Surfers, Mindfulness & Surfing, Surfing Brilliant Corners, and Surfing Tropical Beats. He lives with his wife and children in Cornwall, UK.
