A Calm and Quiet Mind: Simple advice for beginning meditators.

By Shelbi Bailor

Book Overview

"I really should meditate."

"I feel so anxious and depressed."

"I ought to have a mindfulness practice."

Author, acupuncturist, and committed meditator Shelbi Bailor has heard it all. And she gets it. You're busy. You have a life, a job, a family, pets, hundreds of things demanding your attention. But even a few minutes of mindfulness a day can help reduce anxiety and stress, build mental resilience, and increase creativity and self-awareness.

And you don't even have to go on a 10-day silent retreat in India, parking your butt on a cushion for 8 hours at a time, eating only lentils and tofu, and fending off alpha monkeys. (Shelbi did and it was wonderful - well, not the monkey part - but it's absolutely not a prerequisite for a successful meditation practice!) All you have to do is commit to trying. And A Calm and Quiet Mind will be your guide.

In this approachable book, Shelbi shares:

What meditation is and isn'tStrategies for carving out time in the real world (especially when no one else gives a crap how "enlightened" you are)A simple framework for creating a daily home practice that helps you find that elusive "zen" feeling everyone keeps talking about

You can achieve a calm and quiet mind, even if only for a few minutes a day. Those few minutes will inspire you to increase the peace in all the other moments - and inspire those around you.
