Story
Feeling stressed? Today, more people are feeling anxious, depressed, and distressed about life. I felt completely the same way. My job was a nightmare; I was struggling mentally with the day to day. I felt tired, exhausted, and I wanted more in life. I heard and learned about meditation, but the concepts went over my head. The techniques were too unconventional for me, and none of these books gave any practical advice. Then I discovered the amazing world of practical meditation. With this book, you will get actionable instructions on how to make meditation apart of your life.

Many of you may be asking, "What the heck is mindfulness in the first place." I know that was my initial reaction when I first introduced to the concept a few years back. Well, this isn't some new idea. The concept of mindfulness has been around for over a thousand years. Being mindful means living in each moment and experiencing it fully.

Psychic energy and power are knowing or feeling something, even if you have no logical reason to do so. It can be a frequency or vibration that you feel, a quiet voice that speaks to you in your mind or even an image that jumps to your mind. This can pass through many different senses, such as sound, sight, touch, or taste. This is a useful skill to have, and we should always pay attention to these insights.

I can tell you that meditation can mean many different hings to many different people. Perhaps an easier approach to start with is to clarify what meditation is not. It is not exclusive to one sector of society or a specific type of person or culture. Meditation is open-ended, free, available to anyone, and offers great benefits.
