New to the popular Do Books collection, Vedic Meditation expert Jillian Lavender shares how a daily reset helps us become more calm, creative and energized.
Sometimes life can feel like a lot. Even on a good day you will experience some stress and fatigue. The nature of modern living guarantees it. The crucial question is not how to manage or avoid it, but how quickly can you reset and recover?
The answer lies within.
Meditation is the most powerful tool to reset your system; to get past the noise, arrive at a state of inner mental quiet and tap into a virtually unlimited reservoir of energy and creative potential.
Jillian Lavender is one of the world's most experienced teachers of Vedic Meditation. In Do Reset, you will discover how this ancient practice can help you maintain your sense of self, provide clarity and move forward.
Meditation is not about detaching from life. It's about becoming more dynamic and engaged in the world around you. Because how we respond to life's challenges is becoming the defining skill of our age.
“Helping people be their best has always been the thing that motivates me. In my experience, meditation is the tool that has the power to transform. I love seeing that process play out with others.”
I came to Vedic Meditation in August and picked up this fantastic little book shortly after. I love how it simplifies the opportunities we have to change things up and not hold on to what might no longer be relevant or nourishing. While I have been practising Vedic Meditation twice daily for 3 months now (and reaping the benefits), Do Reset is a timely reminder about the small things we can do to reclaim our energy and presence in our fast-paced world. 5 stars.
I was slightly disappointed that this book did not provide a step-by-step guide to meditation; although it redeemed itself at the end by giving concrete examples of how to reset. It was short and sweet, having read it in under a day, but quite wishy-washy until the section that looks a little closer at the science behind meditation. But, this is to be expected. I have never been capable of transcending thought, however I do not doubt that it is possible after having read this book and explored the topic a little more deeply. The best part of this book is it’s call to action that is found tucked away at the very end that motivates the reader to take the steps necessary to calm the mind, being described in concrete, actionable processes. Ultimately, the experience was enjoyable, and in no way do I want to deter readers from picking this one up simply because my expectations did not reflect the actual written material. I think this is a good place to start a meditative practice, but there is much more to explore, and in fact, the book says as much as it encourages the reader to find a teacher who will guide them. Great read; but not what I had hoped for.
