Meditation Express: Stress Relief in 60 Seconds Flat

by Nancy L. Butler-Ross, Michael Suib

Meditation can restore balance to a hectic day, but few can sacrifice the time. Now they don't have to. "Meditation Express" offers 72 meditations that can be done in a minute--while waiting for an elevator, after a contentious phone call, or whenever a spare minute appears. The authors demystify meditation using a lighthearted, yet effective approach.

This isn't the sort of book you should read cover to cover, and yet that's exactly what I did do. I've done a couple of the meditations in it, but what I really like about the book is I feel completely confident now in making up some of my own meditations based on theirs. (This isn't really what the book intends, but it works for me.)

Nice introduction to meditation, but full of some odd quotes and some terrible puns and funny spellings (on-purpose for humour's sake...). The book attempts to make meditation less woo-woo and more practical, and makes a good effort to make it accessible and useable by everyone.

Recommend this if you want to try to get some stress relief without feeling like you have to start dressing in flowing robes and burning incense.

Meditation can be a time consuming process if done correctly but this book gives you the option to work towards a meditation practice one minute at a time. I did bookmark some simple easy ideas from the many offered but a lot didn't resonate with me. They offer meditation suggestions for different places, feelings, and situations. Also offer various affirmations. This isn't entirely the power of positive thinking (thankfully) and I found the ideas on mindfulness and centering most useful. Book definitely needing to be referred back to often to implement the various useful ideas to fit a specific meditation practice. Does offer baby steps which is good.
