About this listen
Have you ever heard about transcendental meditation?
You know that many stars, like the Beatles or Stevie Wonder, performed it, but you have no idea what is about.
Do you know that meditation is much more than just yoga and staying silent?
You have been interested in meditation and Eastern culture for a long time, but you don’t know where to find something more?
In this audiobook you can find the answers to these questions and to many others!
Meditation for Beginners: The Most Life-Changing Book on Transcendental Meditation That Will Shape Your Thinking on How to Meditate in Practical Ways by Gregory F. George is the ideal audiobook to be introduced to transcendental meditation. This audiobook is the perfect way for beginners to approach this practice, because it allows them to discover meditation both theoretically and practically.
The first sections are dedicated to the most didactic part of the explanation of meditation. They tell you about the story of meditation, how it has developed during the centuries until today, and how transcendental meditation was born and has spread in the Western world. You will find this part really interesting, especially if you are a beginner, because it will show how many ideas that we associate with meditation just come from the mix between the Eastern and Western culture and that a lot of them are only the surface of something deeper. Then it proceeds with the expositions of the effects of meditation on people, its benefits both on the physical and psychological level are presented. For a more complete outlook of them, you will find many examples and studies on the subject, comprehensive of sources. Finally, the audiobook offers a small introduction to the practice of transcendental meditation by explaining how to move the first steps in this discipline. This last part is very practical, it speaks to you as you are trying to do it, guiding you through the different methods and techniques. Of course, it just gives you a small hint of what meditation can actually be, but for sure it will make you curious to know more about it!
This audiobook is a great choice for anybody who wants to learn something more about meditation, whether they are new to this practice or not. It is a pleasant listen since it is really fluent and interesting, with a lot of information that spans from history to medicine, to religion, and much more.
Moreover, you will not only be more documented on transcendental meditation (and on other types of meditation that are described here), but you will also be able to understand the basics of meditation and how to start practicing it, at the beginning by yourself and then with the supervision of a master. You are going to learn some concentration techniques that you can do at home to become more familiar with meditation and with everything that comes from it.

Most of us still live by the motto, “No pain, no gain.” But this approach to life is actually a prescription for fear, frustration, and self-doubt. Much of what we learn about success is based on the pain/gain idea: in essence, work harder, be more persistent, and develop greater willpower. The New Psycho-Cybernetics formula is anything but painful. It will allow you to achieve all your goals, faster, easier, and with less strain than you ever thought possible.

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Man Who Invented Christmas

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Excellent presentation.
I am a therapist who is well aware of all of the great research supporting the benefits of meditation for mental health. Getting my patients to meditate has been very difficult despite all of the evidence and other workbooks I have used.

Informative book.
As a person who has experience with meditation, I can say that this book is great for someone just starting out or someone who has been practicing for years. This book's main focus is to bring mindfulness into your everyday life, not just when meditating. It awakens us from our day to day routines and allows us to be present in every moment.
