PRAISE FOR THE LEVEYS

“You are presently engaged in work that has great prospects for bringing the inner sciences to a very wide section of people who may not under ordinary circumstances come into contact with the inner technologies of mental development and transformation.”

—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“The methods included in this compilation work wonders. As a satisfied user of so many of them, I affirm that they truly deepen the appreciation of life.”

—Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now, and How Can I Help

“What a beautiful book! We need so much in our world to focus on how to be instead of how to do, and your book shows the way.”

—Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Be Careful What You Pray For…. You Just Might Get It, and Healing Words

“Simple Meditation and Relaxation is a skillful blend of time-proven antidotes to the stress of modern life.”

—Dan Goleman, Ph.D., author of Emotional Intelligence

“The Leveys' book is a remarkably useful and important guide in a stressful age. Joel and Michelle free meditation from commonly held misconceptions and set it soaring—fresh and joyful—into the heart and mind of the modern-day spiritual explorer. It's meditation demystified. Pure and simple.”

—Peg Jordon, R.N., editor-in-chief, American Fitness Magazine

“This book is an excellent primer for waking up. Practice these techniques and your life will change.”

—Richard Strozzi Heckler, Ph.D., author of The Anatomy of Change and Akido and the New Warrior

“In this beautifully done book, the Leveys have skillfully woven together contemporary insights into the value and need for meditation practice in our lives with a large number of extremely evocative suggestions for making use of different ways to practice relaxation, concentration, and meditation. A real gem.”

—Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., author of Everyday Blessings, Mindfulness Meditation, and Wherever You Go, There You Are, Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society (CFM) at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center

“There is no question that relaxation and meditation are desperately needed in today's stressful society. The Leveys' book wisely emphasizes the need for relaxation and concentration exercises as skills needed to practice good meditation.”

—C. Norm Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., co-author of The Creation of Health, and Anatomy of the Spirit, Founder and Medical Director of Shealy Pain & Health Rehabilitation Institute

“In this beautiful book, the Leveys condense two decades of study, experience, and teaching in the art of self-mastery. They make it clear that it is not stress itself that kills us but our reaction to it, and they lead the student from simple self-regulation to the heights of self-knowledge and spiritual awareness. Hopefully everyone who reads this book will make room in their life for the practices and growth program that it illustrates.”

—Dr. Elmer Green, co-author of Beyond Biofeedback, Director of the Voluntary Control Program, Menninger Foundation
