Maezen Karen Miller
Combining humor, honesty, and plainspoken advice, Momma Zen distills the doubts and frustrations of parenting into vignettes of Zen wisdom.
Drawing on her experience as a first-time mother, and on her years of Zen meditation and study, Miller explores how the daily challenges of parenthood can become the most profound spiritual journey of our lives. This compelling and wise memoir follows the timeline of early motherhood from pregnancy through toddlerhood. Momma Zen takes listeners on a transformative journey, charting a mother’s growth beyond naive expectations and disorientation to finding fulfillment in ordinary tasks, developing greater self-awareness and acceptance - to the gradual discovery of "maternal bliss", a state of abiding happiness and ease that is available to us all.
In her gentle and reassuring voice, Karen Miller convinces us that ancient and authentic spiritual lessons can be as familiar as a lullaby, as ordinary as pureed peas, and as frequent as a sleepless night. She offers encouragement for the hard days, consolation for the long haul, and the lightheartedness every new mom needs to face the crooked path of motherhood straight on.

This is the book I was looking for when I sat at home depressed and alone with a newborn. My now three year old has taught me so much about life and I feel this in my bones. Ms. Miller’s story telling speaks such beauty into the absolute confusion, self-doubt, terror, rawness, and absolute ecstasy that is motherhood. I precluded myself from books like this in the past because I was not the one to physically birth my son into the world. Somehow her description of motherhood feels incredibly inclusive where as I’ve been unable to identify with other descriptions in the past. Some how Ms. Miller made me feel seen, heard, and deeply felt even though we have come to this path in wildly different ways. I’m deeply thankful for this book and the validation it has brought into my life.
