To quote the authors:"The goal of meditation is to reach the thought-free place within. When we're able to reach this place of inner silence, our joy expands because there's nothing to stop it--no concepts, no worries, no fears."When your thoughts don't get in the way, your inner joy wells up inside giving you an incredible feeling of wholeness and happiness."That's meditation in a nutshell.If you're at all interested in learning how to meditate, GET THIS BOOK!
