The Best Meditations On The Planet by Dr. Martin Hart and Skye Alexander

 

 

 

 

I've been interested in the practise of meditation for a long time.

 

I can't say that I've been faithful to meditating on a daily basis over the years. But I know that when I do meditate; I feel better, sleep better, feel calmer...and the small investment in time required has always been worthwhile.

 

I recently read: The Best Meditations on the Planet by Dr. Martin Hart and Skye Alexander and I was impressed by this book for a number of reasons.

 

For many people, meditation seems like something that is just too much of an effort, time consuming, hard to understand and perhaps even a bit too "new age" to appeal.

 

The Best Meditations on the Planet demystifies the practise of meditation so that anyone can try it and find out just how much it can impact their lives in positive and long- term ways. And unlike a lot of books and articles on meditation that I've read previously, this book provides many ways to meditate and for dozens of purposes.

                                            

 

Some of the varied and interesting meditation topics included in this book:

 

-Improve Your Athletic Ability

-End Ties that Bind

-Focus on Forgiveness

-Quiet the Voice of Fear

-Release Stress at the End of the Day

-Release Performance Anxiety

 

 

and many more, providing a range that will be of interest to people of all ages, depending on their own particular needs.

 

The book is well organized. It's easy to find a meditation that's just right  at any given time in life.

 

This is a user-friendly approach to meditation that will be especially of value to anyone who's ever considered or perhaps tried meditation in the past but gave up when they couldn't seem to "get it". With this gentle, easy-to-understand approach, meditation is something that anyone can now experience and enjoy, for years to come.

 

A visually attractive book, making it a great idea for gift-giving too. And who doesn't know someone who is super-stressed and would appreciate a truly, thoughtful gift like this book? And one that provides numerous ways to easily facilitate and incorporate much needed "me" time into their daily routine.

 

The authors make the suggestion to record favorite meditations if this helps with the visualization process that is part of most meditations. I think that is a great idea.

 

I have also suggested to author: Skye Alexander that a CD to accompany this book or to be sold separately with some of the meditations recorded on it, would be most helpful too. Hopefully this is something that the authors will consider adding in the future, as a valuable tool for enjoying this book to the fullest.

 

If you've always meditated or even if you've never tried it before but always wondered about meditation; this is a book you won't want to miss.
