This Present Moment 2nd edition front cover

Mandalas, Meditations and Musings in Mindfulness

This Present Moment contains heartfelt meditations on 20 important life themes, including Love, Hope, Courage, Creativity and Resilience, to give peace and focus through contemplation and colouring.

This unique book offers a place of peace amidst life's more difficult moments.

With a distinctly 'hopeful' flavour, Meg charts the pivotal moments that reflect each of the themes over the last ten years of living with cancer.

Featuring beautifully hand-drawn mandalas by Grace Cuell.

This Present Moment is for anyone facing a difficult diagnosis, a difficult relationship or any difficult situation. It is both a “how to” for navigating a path through the darkness and a wakeup call to jump into life.

"Huge congratulations on getting your second book up! That's great, and will help many. As I mentioned at the time, it's what you have written next to Grace's beautiful mandalas that makes your book standout. Sharing the wisdom you've gained and the inspiration of others makes it utterly unique."

"Meg...has been forced by recurrent illness and circumstances to face more than any of us would wish. Don't turn away, thinking that Meg is the kind of hero most of us couldn't be. Out of her suffering and fear and the immense intimacies and even the weird glorious moments of illness, she has insights to benefit us all."
