Meditation made easy! If you have 15 minutes to spare, you have enough time to do something that’s spirit-enhancing, energy-boosting, and life-balancing: practice Raja Yoga. This accessible guide by a dynamic, world-renowned yogi explains how—leading you through the simple steps needed to begin a transformational meditation program.
Unlike most forms of yoga, Raja Yoga focuses on the mind. It helps you bring together the scattered forces of your thoughts, allowing you to let go of negativity and fear in order to create inner peace and an enhanced sense of well-being. Once you begin to absorb the teachings in this book, you will begin to think on an elevated level. The result: a more positive attitude, less stress, increased self confidence, and an overall improved quality of life.
