"A glorious book! It has given me more and better instruction than anything else in print or on audio. I prefer it to any other guide, including the one I wrote." —James Fadiman

"An inviting, wise, funny, affirming, and marvelously informed book on meditation that dispels all our dumb reasons for not giving it a try." —Belleruth Naparstek

"A really good book for starting meditation. He knows his stuff." —Jack Kornfield

The art of meditation was long the domain of spiritual traditions and became a practice that was separate from everyday experience. But meditative experience occurs naturally, affirms Roche, and technique has to do with intention and attention. Meditation is the practice of developing your capacity for rich experience. This straightforward book offers simple exercises to awaken the mind to sensory experiences and to help achieve the benefits of relaxation: better mood, enhanced ability to concentrate, lower blood pressure, a sense of well-being. There really are no rules' and no, you don't need a guru. Meditation can and does take place almost anytime (some exercises take just a few seconds) and anywhere (sitting, standing, or walking). About the only thing wrong is to try too hard. A sense of luxury is one of the ways of knowing it's being done right." —Hazel Henderson

"A really good book for starting meditation. He knows his stuff." --Jack Kornfield, author of A PATH WITH HEART

"What a wonderful book. I was electrified from the first word. Read Meditation Made Easy and learn the secrets that all successful meditators have learned the hard way. This is how you make it work, how you make meditation fit into your life and benefit your heart, your soul, your health, your relationships. I give it my highest recommendation." —Barbara De Angelis
