Отрывок из книги

If you don’t meditate, you’re missing out on a scientifically proven way to relieve stress, calm your mind, and to experience a general sense of peace and happiness. It’s not only easy, but it doesn’t cost anything to do. Plus, you can do it in the privacy of your own home.

Think of meditating as the freedom to “just be.” There’s no pressure. There are no deadlines. And while there are a lot of different styles of meditation, there’s really no right or wrong way to do it. You are simply in a calming, peaceful “state of being.” I believe that when you are in this quiet state of mind, you are a human being, instead of a human doing….

You see, when you are meditating, you are thought-free, and you lose the sense of fear and desire. If you’re in a state of fearing something, then you are in a state of wanting something.

I won’t go into too much detail about this topic, because I discuss it at length in my e-book, Living a Peaceful Life. If you haven’t already read this e-book, I recommend that you do so before continuing. That way you will more fully understand what I mean by terms like “fear and desire,” accepting “what is” and many other references I’m using here.
