Description
Book SynopsisCan't meditate? Knees killing you? Misplaced the present moment? Let Falling Into Easy make meditation simple, practical and accessible. For years, we've heard about the benefits of meditation. Spiritual teachers describe the benefits of a quiet mind, psychologists advise us not to be ruled by our wild thoughts, our mothers tell us we should learn to relax, and even neuroscientists extol the benefits of a regular meditation practice. There is only one confusing and all-too-familiar dilemma: How exactly does one meditate? Falling Into Easy offers a way for both novice and seasoned meditators to land right smack in the middle of the present moment - with very little effort or travel required. Through a discussion of the simple mechanics of meditation, coupled with instructive metaphors, readers will learn to meditate with ease and a sense of familiarity. Falling Into Easy reveals the greatest paradox of meditation. Readers set out to gain something new, but in actuality, they will discover something they've always possessed: a peaceful state of well-being, simply and naturally accessed with every successive breath.

Trade ReviewMeditation promotes mindfulness, presence and mental clarity - qualities sadly lacking in our stressed culture. For many of us, finding these qualities is also difficult because of the barriers our minds erect against this simple and powerful practice. Dee Willock's Falling Into Easy removes the barriers gently and painlessly, leading us to hear that peaceful, small, still voice that arises from deep within to nourish us in all ways: body, mind and soul.
