Here are some excerpts from the book to give you so more --- Meditation can benefit pretty much every part of your life. The phrase “miracle drug” is usually said with a smirk and a chuckle. Miracle drugs, panaceas that cure every ailment in life don’t exist, right? Well, so far, the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies have been able to produce a chemical that improves every aspect of your life without major negative side effects.
