Is there a way you can learn to slow down and experience yourself more fully, your life more deeply, and other people in the present moment without adopting a new religious or philosophical ideology? Clark Strand answers with a clear and simple “Yes!” Short, compelling reflections show you how to make meditation a part of your daily life, without the complication of gurus, mantras, retreats, or treks to distant monasteries. What is the proper way to breathe? Where should I meditate? What should I sit on? How often should I practice? You’ll find the answers surprising as Strand breaks down modern-day stereotypes about meditation and leaves the one thing a successful mediation practice truly needs: you. Meditation can be intimidating. Many people new to the practice may often wonder-am I doing this right? Am I doing it enough? When am I going to get it? This book strips the practice down to its essential heart-simplicity, lightness, and peace-showing you that the most important part of practice is not whether you can get in the full lotus position, but rather your ability to become fully present in the moment. Encouraging and inspiring, this one-of-a-kind guide provides the framework to make meditation a joy-not a fearsome, rigid chore.
