Don't self-medicate--self-meditate. Meditation is not just about sitting in a quiet room. With its thousands of inspirations, techniques, affirmations, and ideas drawn from a spectrum of spiritual practices, this portable lifesaver of a book shows how to incorporate the power of meditation into your life all day long, whether at home, in the office, in traffic, while traveling--wherever you need to catch your breath, make your mind quieter and more open, and your heart happier and more peaceful. A mantra should be one to three syllables and have a soothing sound. Think generous thoughts. Affirmation: I am a fresh seed, sprouting anew. Cook with love--it's what separates good food from mere fuel. Every time you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, remind yourself to speak purely and lovingly. Give your thoughts a chance to settle down. Now, at any moment of the day or night, we can all catch our inner breath.
