The Gentle Path Inward

A 5-Week Path to Meditation for Beginners

Available in paperback and Kindle worldwide.

Drawing on her corporate background and years of meditation practice, Alison Deacon explores how stress and burnout can become catalysts for genuine transformation. Rather than pushing harder, this book invites a gentler approach — one rooted in awareness, clarity, and self-compassion.

Structured as a five-week pathway, each chapter offers thoughtful reflections, simple mindfulness practices, and guided pauses to help you recognise patterns of striving and meet yourself with kindness instead. Over time, tension softens, balance returns, and a deeper sense of presence begins to emerge — both at work and in everyday life.

A nurturing companion for anyone seeking calm amid busyness, The Gentle Path Inward reminds us that lasting change begins within.

You may also choose to pair this book with the companion Gentle Path Inward Guided Journal for deeper reflection and integration.
