Meditation for Dummies

The popular guide-over 80,000 copies sold of the first edition-now revised and enhanced.According to Time magazine, over 15 million Americans now practice meditation regularly.

It's a great way to reduce stress, increase energy, and enjoy better health.

This fun and easy guide has long been a favorite with meditation newcomers. And now it's even better. For this new edition, author Stephan Bodian has added guided meditations, from tuning in to one's body, transforming suffering, and replacing negative patterns to grounding oneself, consulting the guru within, and finding a peaceful place.

The book also discusses the latest research on the health benefits of meditation, along with new advice on how to get the most out of meditation in today's fast-paced world.
