In this illuminating book, Pragito Dove demystifies meditation, presenting an enjoyable and straightforward way to introduce the benefits of the Nine Basic Principles of Meditation into our busy lives. Adapting ancient traditions - both Eastern and Western - into an accessible approach, Dove draws on her over twenty years of experience.

Her innovative approach allows you to reap the benefits of meditation in thirty seconds, four minutes or 60 minutes, wherever you are and whenever you need a moment of calm. Emphasizing expression, rather than repression, of emotion, these dynamic practices can begin with a variety of movements and sounds, or with silence. Meeting practitioners where they are - in sadness, fear, stress, anger, or joy - the techniques can be done in the midst of work, play and home life, and either alone or with others.

Drawing on such traditions as Sufism and Buddhism, and such teachers as the twentieth-century mystics, Osho and Gurdjieff, Dove's synthesis meets the needs of contemporary life with attention to the full range of human experience and reverence for the peace and joy possible in every moment.
