This beautifully illustrated large-format paperback contains dozens of simple techniques that help take the stress out of everyday life. In addition to individual meditation techniques, most of which can be easily integrated into the normal activities of the day, there are an abundance of suggestions for how we can bring more color and joy and wonder into our lives.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Nobody needs meditation more than people who have no time to meditate. These busy people may have tried meditation but given it up, as it seems so difficult to integrate into a hectic lifestyle.

Most traditional meditation techniques were developed thousands of years ago for people living very different lives from the lives we live today. Nowadays, very few people find it easy to just sit down and relax. Meditation for Busy People is filled with methods that can easily be integrated into everyday life. A morning commute becomes a centering exercise, and the street noises outside an apartment window in the city become an aid, rather than a distraction, to finding the silent space within. Beautifully illustrated and a pleasure to read, this book is a perfect gift for your busy self, or a busy friend.
