Themed Meditations Jennifer Hanning

Meditation is not necessarily about stopping your thoughts or OM'ing your troubles away. Meditation can be as simple as taking a walk in nature, allowing the beauty and peace that surrounds you to fill your awareness. We live in a world of duality where all positive thoughts and emotions have their negative counterpart. We cannot prevent or avoid all stressful situations, but if we breathe our way into a relaxed and calm state we can better manage how unfortunate events and circumstances affect us. Some of the practices in this book are themed to certain ailments and conditions, which can be particularly useful for Carers as well as Yoga Therapists. There are many general chapters, giving yoga teachers a plethora of choices to take into their classes. For anyone who wishes to take steps towards a happier and more fulfilling life, these mindful breathing practices and guided relaxations can be incorporated easily into daily living and help pave the way. Peace and tranquillity is available to everyone. There is no darkness that cannot be driven out - or at least greatly diminished - by the light that already exists deep inside of us. It is a matter of tapping into our true self, gaining assistance to reach our highest potential.
