What is Meditation?
Let’s define meditation. While guided imagery allows thoughts and feelings to occur while directing and focusing the 
mind in certain areas, meditation seeks to bring about a state of awareness without thinking. This is not be to confused with attempting the impossible task of clearing and emptying the mind completely, rather, it is about becoming conscious and aware of our thoughts, feelings, physical distractions, and the other senses. This awareness helps us cultivate acceptance, compassion and wisdom. This is the wisdom of self understanding so an appropriate response is revealed. The goal of meditation includes remembering and experiencing the connection between oneself and the divine.
While there are hundreds of meditation techniques, the basic elements include sitting in an upright manner with a straight, but not stiff, spine. Taking time to bring the breath into balance and focus, and using a concentration technique are often incorporated. Concentration calms and clears the mind of distraction making room for the meditative state.
Here are a few fundamental meditation methods. A mantra, which is a word, sound or phrase can be silently repeated over and again; focusing attention on the sensation of the breath can be used; being mindful of the present moment is another practice; and gazing upon an object, such as a candle flame, nature scenes, or holy picture is another approach.

Yoga Nidra for Stress Relief book ~~ On the Way!
Here’s how it all happened ~~ thanks to my lucky stars!
Last February, while I was teaching at Sivananda/Bahamas, I had my Vedic astrology chart read by Krishna Das. This was a fi
rst for me.
After describing me better than my own Mother could, he went on to say that the stars and planets and moon were lining up in May exactly as it was when I was born as well as at the age of 30. He said it was going to be a very productive time for me and would bring with it writing, teaching, learning, traveling and such.
I questioned him about the areas that I might concentrate on and gave him a list of things I’m interested in.
Right away, he said that yoga nidra would fit in perfectly with my chart. Next, I asked if I should pursue opportunities and he replied that would not be needed since opportunities would find me.
Can you only imagine the look on my face when I got an email “out of the blue” in May from New Harbinger Publications asking me if I would like to write a book for them on … Yoga Nidra for Stress Relief! Yoga Nidra is the totally relaxing and deeply healing aspect of yoga.
After checking them out and doing some discernment and soul-searching, I agreed. Next, they wanted a book summary, outline, authors bio, and a couple sample chapters. That took me a few months. The contract has now been finalized!
Could you please help me? Something that will really help the book come alive are stories. Would you be willing to share what Yoga Nidra feels like for you? Do you have a Yoga Nidra story about how it has helped you in some way? If so, please send them to me.
Why wait until the book and the new audios are released (it takes a long time). To celebrate, my Real Relaxation: Yoga Nidra CD is on sale for $5 off. This special offer is valid during December 2013.
Here is a (pdf) FAQ sheet on Yoga Nidra on
1) What is Yoga Nidra?
2) Is it different than meditation and hypnosis?
3) How it is done. How often.
4) Benefits
5) Resources.
ENJOY!
