| Summary |
From one of America's top meditation teachers comes a revolutionarily simple approach to everyday practice-especially if you don't think you have the time or the patience. Imagine you're sitting on a cushion with your legs crossed, ready to tap into unlimited joy. There's just one problem: You can't get comfortable (let alone still), and your head is full of way too many thoughts. The problem is not with meditation, or you, though-the issue may be with your approach. When properly understood and practiced, meditation should feel easy, calming, and comfortable. In Bliss More, maverick instructor Light Watkins provides the tools for making it E.A.S.Y. (Embrace, Accept, Surrender, Yield), dispels the biggest myths and misunderstandings, and shares real-world tips and straight talk for hacking into this ancient practice. The result: a happier and healthier you, inside and out. Watkins also shares candid testimonials from people whose lives have been enriched through his method, and extensive resources for transforming a daily chore into an enjoyable activity. Even the biggest skeptic will look forward to sitting for meditation every day. Whether you're a novice or experienced practitioner, Bliss More will shed light on the path to a clearer mind, better sleep, and more bliss in everyday life. Advance praise for Bliss More "Light Watkins's approach to meditation is both simple and profound. With him as your guide, you will unlock the secrets to establishing a regular and powerfully healthy daily practice."-Deepak Chopra, MD, author of The Healing Self "It's impossible to read Bliss More and not come away with a comprehensive understanding of how easy and simple meditation can be, why you should be practicing it daily, and how it will improve your life in meaningful and transformative ways."-Mark Hyman, MD, author of Eat Fat, Get Thin and The Blood Sugar Solution "Light was my meditation teacher, and Bliss More perfectly encapsulates the timeless wisdom I learned in his training. If you're ready to start a solid meditation practice, look no further."-Rosario Dawson, actress "In a confusing world of information, one fact always comes up undisputed-meditating is good for you. I was 'too busy' and 'didn't know how' to meditate. Light Watkins has been the individual to show me just how easy it is to make meditation a part of my everyday life. We all owe those few minutes a day to ourselves."-Gabby Reece, professional volleyball player and author, My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper. |
