    About this ebook

    If you have thought about trying to meditate, or you have tried and given up because it doesn’t seem to work, then this is the book for you. I’ll let you into a secret. Anyone can learn to meditate. It really is simple.

    You only need to read the first chapter once, and then listen to the track embedded in the text and off you go. It’s as easy as that!

    My meditation tracks and book show you the way to gradually clear your mind of stress and negativity, past, present and future. You will soon start to notice that you feel more positive, more at ease within, and more accepting of yourself and others. More often, you will find that other people around you will comment on a positive change in you.

    This book is secular, and has no connection with any other mediation group or religion.

    Each meditation track takes you straight to the meditation technique and the book provides the answers to any queries that may arise. The first four parts of the book are a straightforward meditation manual, and the final part describes my own meditation experiences in more depth.

    I am giving you a skill for life. Once you have learned my technique it will always be there for you.

    I offer you the benefit of my twenty-five years experience of daily meditation, and wish that I had been given such simple guidance as this when I first started.

    There is only one difficult thing about meditation and that is getting round to doing it.

    So just turn up and meditate!

      Practice Self-caring

      May 18, 2021

      As Zen teacher Reb Anderson writes in Being Upright, “All suffering is worthy of compassion.” That means that our own suffering too, the kind we experience when life is challenging and uncertain, is worthy of our compassion. Self-caring is not a one-

      end.

      Getting Started

      Where to meditate?

      You will be able to meditate in any quiet place, indoors or outdoors.

      Until your meditation practise is fully established, I would recommend you meditate in the same place each time.

      Choose a place in your home where you can feel comfortable and quiet, somewhere you can easily go to everyday and identify as your special place for meditation. Make your meditation area pleasing for you, so you know you are going to feel happy to spend some time there. In my meditation spot, I like to light a candle and have a small vase of flowers on the table. This gives me the right triggers to start meditating.

      Sit on an upright chair, such as a dining chair. If you wish, you can sit cross-legged on a cushion on the floor or on the bed. As long as you are comfortable, and as long as your head is not supported by a cushion that’s fine. It is not good to lie down or slump in an easy chair to meditate as you quickly go into sleep mode!

      Place a little clock on a table or shelf nearby.

      Check that the phone is on answer phone; switch off your mobile, and let pets and family know that you want to be quiet for about twenty minutes.

      When to meditate

      Plan to go to your meditation place once a day at about the same time of day.

      Then the meditation time becomes part of your daily routine.

      When you prepare to meditate, be sure you are comfortable. Be neither too warm nor too cold, neither too hungry nor too full. The meditation technique is not for relaxation so I find it is better not to meditate after having alcohol as it causes sleepiness. I suggest you avoid meditating just before you go to bed, as this can bring on sleepiness,
