Their highest accolade. Plus 4/4 stars from a professional editorial reviewer at Online Book Club.
“More than a how-to meditate book, a realistic guide to what we can expect as we begin utilizing the seven different ways to meditate. An enjoyable and thoroughly comprehensive book for the beginner of meditation… There are seven mind-technologies, or ways, to meditate and it’s both fascinating and enlightening to learn how to appropriately utilize them. I myself have always thought that meditation would never in a million years work for me. I’m a Type A personality and generally my mind is in a perpetual state of overdrive. But now I’ve learned that I can learn to meditate properly despite these characteristics. There is no need for me to put up roadblocks as this book shows me how I CAN and WILL meditate successfully!”The International Review of Books
“Dynamic tools, techniques, and practices. A guide to help you create lasting change in your meditation practice. Ultimately, to transform the quality of your life.”Norma Foster — International Growth Consultant and Therapeutic Coach (Foreword)
