Publisher's summary

Meditative insights and 21 full meditation exercises, all at your fingertips!

At all stages of your life, often there are moments of snap realization. You start to realize that, contrary to what you have been telling yourself for years, you aren’t really in control of your life anymore.

Think about it!

Have you been having a hard time dealing with life and its struggles lately?

Have you felt that what you want your mind to allow you to do and sustain, and what you are actually doing are on two entirely different levels?

Have you realized that you are unaware of how your mind and body functions in reality as opposed to how you would like for them to function?

Are you looking for a practical way to help you help yourself?

What people tend to forget is that meditation is about awareness. Awareness not just of one’s self and one’s thoughts, but also of one’s consciousness and of the barriers that you have allowed your mind to build for you.

You see, we live life with so much noise, literally and figuratively, especially in this fast-paced world that, like it or not, it is pretty common for people to lose themselves to everything that is going on.

It’s like binge-watching a television show. At some point, you don’t even know where your last four days went, and you realize that you haven’t eaten a healthy meal during that entire time. Do you know what you need to do at times like this?

You need to hit the "pause button".

You need to hit pause, get up, get your blood flowing, eat a meal, go to the bathroom, take a shower, and reevaluate what you really need to be doing.

Meditation allows you to take a break from all the noise, all the action, and all of the constant stress that is surrounding you. Take a minute and quiet your mind so that your soul can speak to you.

The objective of meditation is just that - to dim the lights and dull the noise just enough for you to allow your truest self to shine through like a beacon, so that you can remember why you are here, and who you want to be.

Practical Meditation for Beginners starts by helping you focus your attention through a process of thought organization. It provides a holistic solution to this lack of clear focus and mindful living by guiding you through three main issues:

  1. Physical relaxation - where the body is taught to physically let go of stress and hypersensitivity.
  2. Mental clarity - where the mind is trained and organized so that you can focus on maintaining better focus and attention in all things and activities.
  3. Goal setting - where you can teach yourself to use specific meditations to train your mind to achieve specific goals that align with what you want for yourself, or with the bigger picture you have planned for yourself.

Wary?

Do you feel like it’s just not something you can do because of how busy your mind is, and you feel like slowing down will take away your edge? Are you skeptical of the power of meditation to change your life?

In 2011, Harvard researchers conducted a study on meditation and found that, in addition to boosting the overall well-being of the users, meditation also helped boost focus and reduced age-related cognitive decline, such as forgetfulness or even certain ailments. Marines have been known to use meditation to help increase their stress resistance.

What are you waiting for? Start yourself on the incredible journey of beginner’s meditation. If you can take control of your life now, in this very moment, you are taking control of the future you thought was out of your reach. After all, there is nothing you can't do, if you chose to do it.

I would give this audiobook 10 stars if I could

I was given this audiobook as a gift and I am very impressed with how well-explained each concept and exercise is. This is the most useful audiobook on meditation that I have ever come across. Each chapter is both simple and profound and potent. The meditation on Day 4 with Mindful Eating was life-altering for me.
