ABOUT THIS BOOK:

When you’re experiencing anxiety, you’re either thinking about the past, or you’re worried about the future. In very rare instances are you thinking about what’s going on right now. As a result, anxiety is a constant drain on your system.

Fortunately, there’s a secret to dealing with anxiety that many people don’t know: learning to quiet the mind. Meditate Now is a comprehensive toolkit created to help you still the mind on a daily basis for more peace and improved well-being. With a history of meditation, summaries of the different types of meditation styles, done-for-you meditation scripts and more, Meditate Now helps you design a practice that works for your lifestyle.

Within these pages, you’ll learn about common misconceptions about meditation, the biology of stress and how to move from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest to support your overall health. An appendix of resources includes guidance for mindful eating, activities for kids, and exercises specifically designed for morning, afternoon and evening practices.

The result? More peace, more confidence and a better outlook on life—for you and your family.
