"This book is both simple and profound; simple in that the content is presented as a children's story and profound in its use of analogies to illustrate life lessons and existential philosophy in subtle, hidden language.- Dr Peter Mack, MBBS, FRCS(Ed), FRCS(G), PhD, MBA, MHlthEcon, MMEd Love the read and the immense love behind book is deeply felt. A wave of ease and peace will seep through my being whenever I pick up this book. As much as this is a book to be read, this is also a book to be felt. It brings you into a stillness and depth within yourself if you allow yourself to drop beneath the words and the beautiful illustrations. The innocence and sincerity embodied in the story is rarely found in our busy life these days. So appreciate both the genuineness and the ingenuity weaving the messages through a drop of water, the playful rituals and the author's life experiences. May this book continue to draw many more others to step into their own innocence and stillness within. - Jace A rare gem, great for adults and children alike. The story of the journey of a tiny water drop is simple and easy to follow for adults and children alike. But the messaging about love and kindness is profound. In my mind, it is what we hope our children will embody, and what we need to relearn as adults. The author thoughtfully provided audio clips of the mindfulness practices in her book for her readers to enjoy some peaceful moments of inflection. It is also loaded with colorful and original artwork. This is a rare gem from a Singaporean artist/author. - Amazon Reviewer ""Ship Wreck"" I would highly recommend this book is for everyone.

Author Information

Born and based in Singapore, Eng Chew teaches yoga, yoga therapy, mindfulness practice and meditation for people of all ages and all walks of life. Over her years of teaching, she witnessed many students heal from various conditions through changes in mindset, behaviour, habits and their outlook on life. Their transformation motivated her to write and share the importance of love and kindness to oneself, being mindful of one's thoughts, words and deeds and the sense of connectedness with one's heart, soul and spirit. Through mindfulness practice, one can intimately connect inwards without being judgemental or affected by past burdens. One can consequently use loving compassion to initiate powerful changes and make deliberate choices in the present moment. Eng Chew hopes that such self-empowerment will allow individuals to positively affect others, including Mother Nature, through sustainable living habits. True to her mantra, Anything is possible, she follows her heart to create and share her works with others through her writing, blogging, drawing, mini productions, workshops and lessons. Eng Chew believes in taking full responsibility over one's life by living fully in the present moment. Eng Chew loves colours and all things beautiful. That includes kind loving hearts. In addition to her favourite childhood hobbies of writing and drawing, she loves spending her time in nature, with loved ones and observing animals. She also loves adventures, music and fun. During her school days, Eng Chew piloted a small plane in the Youth Flying Club and represented her school at air rifle and air pistol shooting competitions. She also served in the Singapore Civil Defence Force where she underwent many unforgettable tasks such as helping to coordinate an overseas humanitarian assistance mission during the aftermath of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Eng Chew also enjoyed surfboarding, wakeboarding, sailing, horse riding, skiing, dog sledding, ice wall climbing and hang-gliding. She plays the tongue drum and singing bowls. When she has energy, she enjoys making meals and trying out new recipes. She enjoys good laughs, good tears and good company. She treasures life's finite moments by doing whatever can be done now as tomorrow is uncertain. Find her at www.yogawithec.com or www.engchew.com or contact her at eclovesyoga@gmail.com.
