"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. 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, this will shed light on the path to a clearer mind, better sleep, and more bliss in everyday life. Light Watkins writes an email newsletter called Light's Daily Dose of Inspiration. Watkins's TEDx talk has garnered hundreds of thousands of views"--Provided by publisher.
