Meditation Made Easy

Lorin Roche, a meditation trainer for 30 years, knows how to make the uninitiated feel at ease. He debunks the stereotype that you have to follow monastic rules: you don't have to sit still, or empty your mind, or overcome your ego. "Meditation is about being intimate with your deepest self," so imposing techniques and formalities that don't fit you will just interfere. Meditation should be "a direct response to sensing some need in your body or heart ... a pleasurable indulgence ... a mini-vacation." "Going Deeper" shows you how to turn details of everyday experience--such as drinking coffee--into a mini-meditation. This book not only teaches you how to meditate; it makes the process easy and enjoyable.
