Meditation – healthy, innovative, dynamic, life-embracing, individualistic, and unintimidating practices – from a fun-loving teacher.
Meditation, says Lorin Roche, has been held captive by gurus and overly restrictive spiritual traditions for centuries. It should be one of life’s great pleasures – to be savoured like ice cream or a cold beer on a hot summer day. You don’t have to sit in an awkward position or empty your mind or relinquish desire to meditate, claims Roche. Here he offers startlingly simple techniques to wake up the senses and relax the body and mind. With this amazingly clear and reassuring guide, anyone can learn to meditate.

Lorin Roche, Ph.D., has been a meditation trainer for the past 22 years. He lives in Marina del Rey, California.
You've probably heard about the benefits of meditation: Sharper thinking, reduced stress, improved concentration, lower blood pressure, even increased sexual pleasure--all of these positive effects have been confirmed by science. So what's holding you back? Perhaps you don't see yourself signing up with a guru. Or twisting yourself into a lotus position while repeating a mantra. Or spending hours trying to let go of desire and empty your mind. But what if meditating were as easy and pleasurable as eating a dish of ice cream? In this uniquely accessible guide, Lorin Roche proves that meditation "is" that easy-- and even more pleasurable.
Roche begins by answering questions and debunking myths, most of which have to do with meditation's long association with Eastern religions. He then gives you three easy-to-follow techniques for getting started-- "the Do Nothing Technique," "Salute Each of the Senses," and "Feeling at Home Exercise"-- and shows you how to integrate "mini meditations" into spare moments of your day, from savoring your morning coffee to taking advantage of the five minutes before a meeting. He explains how to overcome meditation obstacles, customize meditation to your own needs, and use your breath, voice, and attention as meditation aids. And he shows how meditation will give you the power to explore your inner passions-- and enrich your sense of self.
