I bought this book 8 months ago when I embarked on a 200 hour yoga teacher training journey, yet, with my training now complete, I still have yet to read the book. I'm a little skeptical about meditation, I admit, yet I recently saw a statistic that claims it's just as beneficial as antidepressants! Anyone read this book or any other on meditation? Did it help? I'm thinking of tackling this soon!!
MMenefee I've read Pema Chodron's (love her!) book and have an app that encourages me to take some time each day. I don't know if I'm "doing it right" but I feel a lot better after just a few minutes of focusing on the moment.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your MindMayread I try to practice mindfulness. I live in CA, so of course there are a couple of meditation centers within walking distance of where I live. I found going to group guided meditations w discussion afterward to be the best way to start up a practice. 8y
SusanInTiburon I've been practicing mindfulness meditation for almost ten years. I aspire to meditate daily, but I average 5 days a week. It makes a huge difference in my life - much more than just "stress relief." 8y

MrBook You did 200 hours of yoga?! Doesn't that, like...hurt after awhile or something?! Goodness! You must've gone to putty! 8y
MrBook I'm going to hashtag putty. Because you know someone sometime down the road will get it in their head to pioneer the putty hashtag, and it's *my* patent. Mind. #putty There. Don't everybody rush now to use it. ....I don't know what #putty has to do with #yoga and #NetGalley, but I'm in regardless. ..... #putty 8y
Bookgirl @Beckys_Books I downloaded an app called smiling mind that I'm enjoying. Still haven't started reading this book! 8y
Bookgirl @MrBook I think #putty comes with the 500 hour training! Namaste and all that. 8y
