Meditation Manual: Simple Directions For A Life-Changing Practice

Mediation is a life skill—a “pause button”—one that restores a sense of wellbeing. It centers you, grounds you, and expands your perspective. By turning your focus inward, you build a base of peace, calm, and ease. Meditation may be the most powerful tool in your wellness kit.

Most of us believe that the running monolog of thoughts swirling through our head is who we are. But the bulk of those thoughts merely chase distractions, often aimless, looping repetitively—like an untrained puppy in a meadow of rabbits. Meditation trains your mind to be in service of your life, instead of its capricious ruler.

Meditation Manual—Simple Directions For A Life-Changing Practice is bite-size guide. It reads like a conversation with a good friend. Easy to absorb in less than an hour, it is like no other meditation book. It briefly explains what meditation is and does, then jumps into four exercises that could change your life. Whether you are new to meditation, a meditation app user wanting something more, or an experienced meditator wishing for a fresh approach, these instructions can awaken you to a new level of awareness.

Author Peggy Ludington lives a conventional life, wearing many hats—lawyer, writer, artist, farmer, environmental activist, wife, mother, and grandmother. She also has had her share of challenges. The book opens with an intimate glimpse into those earlier years. Her authentic voice draws you in with an implicit invitation: Even if you feel broken, maybe especially if you feel broken, meditation can help light a path through your dark woods.

This book delivers a readily accessible pathway to the benefits of an ancient practice. Four simple exercises help demystify the process. It is a timely offering during this period of intensified stress, anxiety, and depression.
