"If you don't have time to meditate for five minutes, you should meditate for an hour."
This proverb, in various forms and attributed to various sage people throughout the years, will be
familiar to anyone who has ever dipped their toe into the world of meditation!
As a practice, it has significant mental health benefits such as for stress reduction, anxiety
management, improving memory and battling intrusive thoughts, but it also has proven
physical benefits. Meditation has been shown to help improve the quality of sleep, support
lowering of blood pressure, and aid in strengthening the immune system and a bodies response
to stress.
And yet... making meditation part of daily life can be tricky. When we're constantly on the
go and bombarded with responsibilities, finding the time to meditate can seem impossible,
not to mention a little dull to our overstimulated 21st century minds. In The Meditation
Yearbook, author Joey Hulin finds the perfect solution to these problems and offers 52 weeks
of meditations that make exploring this ancient practice fun, varied and inspiring. Looking at
everything from the mind-body connection to Vipassana meditation, this year long tour of
meditative practice encourages constant growth and the perfect way to make meditation part
of your life.
