Linda Lavid offers more than a hundred approaches to a simple practice that ought to be employed universally, due to its benefits to health, intelligence, creativity, and emotional balance. Meditation is often rejected by prospective practitioners, because they become turned off by the spiritual packaging in which meditation lessons are often garbed. The practices taught in this book are attached to no spiritual tradition, and make no promises regarding ethereal results. They are simple and easy to follow. \"Just do it and see what happens\" is the message of the book.\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with this message, Lavid offers instruction on 101 various forms of mindfulness practices. The broad variety keeps the practice fresh, where interest might otherwise wane before good habits are ingrained. Lavid also supports building a sound practice regimen by including a 31 day journal in the second half of the book.\u003cbr\u003e(c) 2011 Wendy C.

If only it weren't such an esoteric endeavor...\u003cbr\u003eMediation is \"relaxing the body, quieting the mind, and having a focus... There is no right or wrong way to meditate.\"\u003cbr\u003eNow that the pressure is off, we can proceed with any of the 101 techniques Lavid provides. There are processing meditations promoting our ability to receive information from the subconscious and unconscious minds; imagery meditations for two-way communication with the subconscious; release meditations for unlocking emotional issues; and inspirational meditations for connecting with our higher selves. Within each of these categories are specific methods for bringing us closer to a particular focus. A grounding exercise, for example, uses imagery to help us draw healing energy through our bodies, and a stress-reduction exercise uses the release technique to help shed stressors and build a psychic shield.\u003cbr\u003eThis little volume is packed with just the basics, including a 31-day journal equipped with inspirational quotes that serves as spirited and indefatigable cheerleaders. Lavid's \u003ci\u003ekeep it simple\u003c\/i\u003e approach is effective and encouraging for anyone who has wondered about meditation but been put off by technical and spiritual tomes. Quick, simple and stripped of pretension, this life-enhancing practice is made easy and practical through 101 Ways to Meditate.\u003cbr\u003e-Deborah Adams, Curled Up with a Good Book\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda A.
