What if meditation didn't require discipline, technique, or hours of sitting still but was actually something you looked forward to? In How to Meditate Without Even Trying, Peter Russell shares the liberating insight at the heart of his decades-long teaching: The harder we try to meditate, the more we get in our own way. True meditation is instead about the practice of allowing-releasing effort, relaxing the mind, and gently returning to the present moment. In clear and calming prose, Russell's minimalist approach to meditation will help you: • cultivate presence without controlling your thoughts • let go of resistance, tension, and emotional discomfort • reclaim your natural inner calm-even in a noisy, busy world • integrate mindfulness into your daily life through mini-and micro-meditations • rediscover the practice as a source of joy, clarity, and deep contentment Rooted in both lived experience and timeless wisdom, this is a book to keep within arm's reach-a call to stop striving and start being. Spiritual teacher Peter Russell earned degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science at the University of Cambridge in England. He studied meditation and Eastern philosophy in India and was one of the first people to introduce meditation to corporations.

Step-by-step practices for cultivating spiritual awakening, from a renowned spiritual psychologist who has studied the phenomenon in hundreds of people and experienced it himself Steve Taylor has devoted his life to investigating spiritual awakening. In his books “The Leap and Extraordinary Awakenings”, he discussed case histories of dozens of people who experienced profound shifts in consciousness. “The Adventure” draws on this groundbreaking research, together with Taylor’s own awakening experiences, to offer guided meditations, contemplative exercises, and other practices for catalyzing spiritual transformation, as well as lyric poems and inspirational stories. “The Adventure” outlines how to: • recognize and cultivate the eight defining characteristics of wakefulness, including presence, acceptance, gratitude, and disidentification from the ego • expand awareness and quiet the mind through meditations and practical exercises • transcend our normal “sleep” state and the “thought mind” to move toward increasing heights and depths of spiritual awakening • use the challenges of everyday life-of home, workplace, and relationships-as doorways to enlightenment
