Meditation - could it help you?

I have been involved with meditation and metaphysics for the past 20 + years. When I first heard about "Meditation in a New York Minute," I was very skeptical. Being in the metaphysical field I have seen some pretty flaky theories presented by some even more out-there people. But because we can only learn when we stay open-minded, I took a chance and got myself a copy of Mark's, "Meditation in a New York Minute." Let me tell you I am impressed. "Meditation in a New York Minute" is just what we need in the western life-style. The levels of stress are hitting all time highs. Stressors not only from the outer-world but from the internal world are everywhere. When was the last time you had a vacation from your thoughts? Or were able to have a moment of emotional peace? A time when you could truly feel safe and at ease? Most people have been under so much pressure for so long they think it is normal. They have been numb for so long they no longer even know what they feel. The good news is that there is a way out -- a way back to a more balanced life. "Meditation in a New York Minute" will give you back your life. So do not delay, get yourself a copy today. Bryan Hood, author of "A Moment With Eternity"

Meditation is not just "Sitting in the Lotus Position"

I have always thought that I 'should' meditate... but who has the time? "Super Calm for the Super Busy" has taught me that you don't need to be in a quiet space looking like Buddha in the Lotus position for an hour a day, to achieve calm and awareness. This is the perfect book for those with hectic schedules to learn techniques that can be used anywhere, anytime, to achieve Super Calm. Since reading this superb book I have felt so much more in touch with myself, and everything around me... The simple techniques create total awareness, inner calm and a quiet confidence. I have just felt much happier with the world in general. Highly recommended!

He can provide a great service to many people who need to find ways to become more centered and stress-free in their busy daily lives.
