Publisher's summary

Discover everyday calmness and clarity with 100 simple restorative meditations to help find peace and balance in a rabid society.

As humans, we have continued to rely on so many external factors for peace and fulfillment, in a time of increasing stress, conflicts, and rapidly failing mental health. Even though these things seem to be temporary, we keep holding on to them as long as they put us at ease at the moment. Things like exotic parks and other luxurious facilities and establishments. That is okay, but the question is, why do things continue to get worse, instead of improving for the better? We utilize all these things, but then, they give us little healing as opposed to how promising they appear in the first place.

However, the good news is that there is hope. The happiness and peace we are looking for is right here within us. In this book, we will be looking at what meditation is, and how it promises to take us on a journey to a healthier, happier, and a more fulfilling life. Meditation, in simple terms, is a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused accepting. It has been practiced in cultures all over the world for thousands of years. Nearly every religion, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, has a tradition of using meditative practices. Aside from that, a lot of people practice it independently. Therefore, it is something you can do on your own anywhere, any time.

This book also uncovers 100 meditation practices that will help us to be mindful in our daily living. The idea is to give you greater insight, and let you know that you can cultivate mindfulness as an integral part of living. One beauty of it is that it teaches us to be in control of our lives, free from the influence of our thoughts and other external factors. In a time where a lot of things are calling for our attention, we can be free and whole from their prevailing dominance.

There are lots of treasures in us that are waiting to be explored. Mindfulness meditation will help you connect to your deepest self. This way, you will be able to connect to your world.

Also, meditation can help us ameliorate stress and lots of mental sicknesses. For stress, we specifically have the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) technique to take care of that. It can target depression, too.

There is also a workbook section containing exercises, frequently asked questions along with their answers that will give you clarity and help you in your journey. It's an experience you can't wait to have.

I encourage you to join me in this journey of blissful discovery. You won't regret doing so.
