About this listen

According to The American Institute of Stress, Americans are the most stressed-out people in the world, with their stress levels being 20 points higher than the global average.

And such continuous exposure to stress can increase your chances of developing chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, heart disease, and more.

Just take a moment and ask yourself:

Has your life become less joyous and more stressful?

Can you remember the last time you were actually at peace?

Turns out, the old adage that money can’t buy happiness actually holds true.

What you really need is a balance from within, bringing your mind and your soul to a state of calm, one breath at a time.

And in this hands-on, holistic guide for you and your family, you will discover:

  • A demystified look at mindfulness, meditation, and contemplation – kick confusion and see how these practices can bring you inner peace and happiness
  • Simple ways to keep stress at bay by incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your life
  • The science of your breath – discover how the simple act of breathing can help you keep stress in check (with 4 easy breathwork techniques to practice)
  • How well do you really breathe? Take these two simple tests to improve your breathing capacity
  • How the power of breath can change your life in unexpected ways
  • To be still or not to be still? Explore how the mundane acts of being still or moving can easily evolve into relaxing meditative practices
  • And much more.

Because stress affects us all–including children–this guide not only helps you understand how kids process stress, but also presents practical advice so that you can get them to practice breathing techniques with you.

What a gem!

This book is truly a gem! As someone who has been interested in mindfulness and meditation for a while, I found this book to be a perfect resource for both beginners and seasoned practitioners.

JM Loyal does an excellent job of explaining why meditation and mindfulness practices are so important and how they can benefit us in our daily lives. I found this particularly relevant because I have been dealing with a lot of stress lately, and this really resonated with me. Loyal provides practical guidance for beginners to get started with mindful breathing, which I found to be very useful since I have struggled with this a lot in the past. I plan on incorporating these tips into my daily practice.

I had never really considered the benefits of combining movement and mindfulness, but Loyal explains how this can benefit us both physically and emotionally, which I found to be very compelling.

Overall, the main takeaway from the book is that meditation, mindfulness, and contemplation are powerful tools for managing stress and cultivating a sense of peace in daily life. Loyal does an excellent job of presenting these concepts in an accessible way, with practical guidance for beginners. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who is interested in exploring these practices further.

One thing I have to mention is that the narrator was such a pleasure to listen to. Their voice was soothing and calming, which really added to the overall experience of listening to this audiobook. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough!

Great tools for meditation practice.

First of all, I’ve been practicing meditation for years. But this book really helped to give me a better understanding of how, and why meditation works, and several other great practices for mindfulness that I hadn’t used before. If you are curious about meditation, or you’ve practiced some before, and are looking to deep in your practice, then this book is for you.

Full spectrum of info on meditation

I was surprised and impressed with the amount of information contained in this book. I was expecting to learn some breathing and meditation techniques and activities, but was pleased to find much more. The author covers the science behind what mindfulness, breathing, and meditation can do in our bodies and our lives, as well as different ways to practice depending on individual needs. I especially enjoyed the sections on how to incorporate meditation into our children's lives to help them not only face the challenges of life, but also grow into well-adjusted, healthy adults. I never considered having children meditate on a regular basis. What a good idea! I recommend this book for anyone wanting to incorporate more balance into their body, mind, and spirit.
