Book Review: The Meditation Bible (Madonna Gauding)

I started off the morning with a meditation on my heartbeat, inspired by Madonna Gauding's Meditation Bible. Her little book is a marvelous bedside staple, providing endless comfort, inspiration, and serenity. Every page contains a different meditation you can try, ranging from "Distracted Mind" to "Flowing Water" to "Unconditional Love." The book contains meditations on calming and centering, living mindfully, healing, movement, love and compassion, problem-solving, manifesting your dreams, and connecting to the divine; she also provides an introduction to meditation. Highly recommended if the shelves of your mind could use a little dusting off, if you want a way to incorporate a bit of spirituality into your life, or if you simply want to get back in touch with the simplicity of your being-ness in the world.

I do these mostly lying down, which is probably not ideal, but it works for me--I like being fully relaxed yet maintaining a straight spine.

Enjoy and happy Sunday!
