Synopsis

From one of America’s top meditation teachers and mindfulness experts comes a revolutionarily simple approach to everyday practice—especially if you don’t think you have the time or the patience.

Imagine you’re sitting on a cushion with your legs crossed, ready to tap into unlimited joy. There’s just one problem: You can’t get comfortable (let alone still), and your head is full of way too many thoughts.

The problem is not with meditation, or you, though—the issue may be with your approach.

When properly understood and practiced, meditation should feel easy, calming, and comfortable. In Bliss More, maverick instructor Light Watkins provides the tools for making it E.A.S.Y. (Embrace, Accept, Surrender, Yield), dispels the biggest myths and misunderstandings, and shares real-world tips and straight talk for hacking into this ancient practice. The result: a happier and healthier you, inside and out. Watkins also shares candid testimonials from people whose lives have been enriched through his method, and extensive resources for transforming a daily chore into an enjoyable activity. Even the biggest skeptic will look forward to sitting for meditation every day.

Whether you’re a novice or experienced practitioner, Bliss More will shed light on the path to a clearer mind, better sleep, and more bliss in everyday life.

Goodreads review by Carrie on April 22, 2018

A really wonderful, practical approach to meditation that is accessible and inspiring simultaneously. I really enjoyed it and immediately started implementing the principles. The style Watkins uses for meditation is basically a version of mantra-based meditation like TM, yet it lacks a lot of the mo......more

Goodreads review by Jim on August 08, 2018

"My meditation is better than your meditation" might be a better subtitle. I struggled over how to rate this one. On the one hand, the meditation does work. I have added two 20 minutes mantra meditations to my 1.5 to 2 hour daily practice. (NOTE: there is no such thing as "over meditating"... unless......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on January 09, 2018

This is the first book I've ever read that is exclusively about meditation. I'm glad I read it. It's not the first and last word about meditation, but it's a good start to get past some initial barriers. If you're an experienced meditator and you have a routine that works for you, you probably don't......more
