Millions have heard that meditation is the very best natural medicine for lowering stress and increasing well-being. It has no negative side effects, is free, and requires only a few minutes a day to receive extraordinary benefits. Yet many still find it foreign to their experience and have no idea how to begin. After all, our society emphasizes busyness, competition and external gratification. And, if you do try it, how do you break through the inner resistance, restlessness and 'monkey-mind' that plague both beginning and advanced meditators?Meditation teacher Tobin Blake's new book offers easy-to-follow guidelines and ways to start meditating and deepen your practice. It is designed for both beginners as well as those who already meditate but are frustrated or seek to find fresh ways to approach their practice. The book begins with the basics, such as how to sit, how long to spend, and the various meditative techniques, including zazen, mantra, visualization, and heart, third-eye, and chakra meditation. Each of the 100 original, daily meditations will take readers from theory to experience. The meditations are designed to transform the negative waterfall of thoughts into one based on gentleness, loving kindness and forgiveness. Their meditative practice will transform from an internal struggle to a quiet, joyous communion with Spirit. Everyday Meditation is specifically written with our modern challenges in mind, including electronic distractions, stress and the constant sense of overwhelm. This book will help readers:
- turn their minds into their ally
- undo restlessness and anxiety
- build spiritual relationship
- defeat the vicious cycle of attack-guilt-fear
- heal the body
- overcome depression
- find balance, meaning and life purpose.
