Customer Reviews

This is the most accessible book on meditation ever!

This book teaches that meditation is really no more than learning to slow down long enough to appreciate and enjoy your life. By pointing out various transitional moments throughout the average day that can benefit from increased awareness, Meditation 24/7 incorporates life-enhancing practices and techniques into real life. Reading the book was inspiring, and practicing just a little of what this book has to teach each day can be of tremendous benefit to anyone. I highly recommend this book.

Exploring Peace ~ this helps to hone your inner listening

This jewel of a book (with CD) guides the reader/listener through a series of processes that will open the doors to a vibrant inner life. Each chapter is a gift to be enjoyed over and over again~ As we face the reality of present day wars and the breeding of hatred and dividedness, we each need to restore wholeness to our fragmented inner lives and equip ourselves to bring about understanding, healing and reconciliation. I find that this book is applicable for people of various faiths, and as a Christian, their guidance is especially helpful to me in my practice of Scriptural meditation and movement. Having begun the journey with Camille and Lorin's 24/7, I am able to more effectively serve others who are coping with pain and walk alongside as they rediscover their joy. I hope you will find this book applicable to your life and be blessed by it as well.

Don't Miss the Bliss...

WOW!!! Beyond meditation, therapy, or self help, this book leads the way into experiencing the very richness of living and helps me to realize the creative choices each moment has. The book and CD have a range of meditations that respond to the ordinary in everyday life in powerful, yet simple ways with beautiful, original accompanying music. Lorin and Camille are wonderful companions as I follow their inspiring voices on the CD. Listening, I feel a sense of passion, aliveness, tenderness and adventure as I foray into the personal, creative, parts of my self these meditations encourage. This is easy. It's like I've stumbled on to some key secrets into myself ...with a little bit of help. The book is a great refresher (i leave mine in the car)... poetic and direct. I highly recommend CD & book for anyone who wants to feeeeel gooooood!

It's Heartwarming in Santa Barbara

I had a headache and was feeling edgy. Just in from the road and consumed by too much push and pull. I knew what to do. I headed straight to the button that says ON and jumped to Heartwarming, my favorite cut on Maurine and Roche's glowing new book/meditation disc. It took one beat and then I was instantly touched, the rawness softened and AHHHH. I was transported. Soaking in the pulse of music and voice I found instant entry into the joy of just safe and sound inside of me. Thank you! I don't know what I did without this brilliant piece of wisdom and delight.

Meditation Made Enjoyable and Easy!

I am a psychotherapist who understands the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual benefits of meditation. I recommend it to my clients frequently. Yet, personally, I have tried on many occasions to get into a regular practice of meditation, but find my mind so restless when I sit down, that I want to jump up again instantly. This book and CD makes the process so much easier and is the most refreshing and lively take on meditation I have ever encountered. I just pop in the CD, forward it to the theme I want to meditate on (The Heart Warming Meditation is my personal favorite) and for 5-7 minutes I relax. The good news is that because the meditations are short, you can do them anytime of the day or night. Camille and Lorin make meditation seem like an extension of living, rather than a separate zone, impossible to reach. I have already given this book and CD as a birthday present to my favorite friends. And, it's at the top of my Christmas giving list this year. I can't imagine a better gift to give to those that I care about.
