This book further teaches its readers how to raise their standard of living by leading their lives with a purpose.Jay Shetty offers a daily meditation practice that combines the three types of meditation he has described in this book i.e. breathwork, visualization and mantra. Jay Shetty recommends that people perform this meditation right after brushing their teeth and showering every morning and also as the last thing they do before bed later. Begin with twenty-one minutes in the morning only, assigning each segment seven minutes each. Expand the practice by performing it for another twenty-one minutes at night when you are ready for it. 

Discover a comfortable position. Close your eyes and cast your gaze down. Shift your awareness to peace, tranquillity, ease, balance and calm. If your mind goes astray, return it softly back there. Allow yourself to be comfortable in this position. Now be mindful of your natural breathing pattern. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Take a deep breathe. Breathe in four times. Breathe out four times. Harmonize your breath and body by breathing in for the same quantity of time as you breathe out. Engage in this for approximately five minutes.Ask yourself what you are grateful for today. Breathe in gratitude and breathe out negative, bad energy. Then envision a memory full of happiness and gratitude. Absorb the joy and love. Ask yourself what your intention is for today. Say to yourself three times that you are content with who you are becoming. That you are open to prospects and possibilities. You deserve real love. That you are ready to serve with everything you have.  Reiterate this mantra Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.   PLEASE  NOTE: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of the book and not the original book.
