Self-Meditation shows just how we can - and should - meditate anytime, anywhere, and reap the ever-growing list of benefits associated with this practice. Self-Meditation is a compulsive, instantly accessible list of meditation practices that can be done during the course of our daily lives. You don't need to go to a mountain retreat, renounce meat, or walk through coals on the soles of your feet. There's a meditation to have with a cup of tea, a waiting-in-line meditation, and meditations to do while reading, eating, doing sit-ups, working, shopping, or finding yourself stuck in a traffic jam. There are breaths to take and praises to give, and throughout, ways to slow down and finally smell the roses - or hear the crickets - or see the stars. Drawn from spiritual practices as varied as Zen, yoga, Sufism, and insight meditation, it's a delicious spiritual tonic that includes meditation basics, mantras and koans, tips, and more. At any moment of the day or night, we can all catch our inner breath.
