I was introduced to meditation forty years ago while practicing martial arts. As a young, high-strung, Type-A business salesperson, I dismissed the idea that meditation could ever help me. I couldn’t sit still and calm my mind for one minute let alone several hours. Not to mention, I was too busy for that nonsense. Luckily, my instructors implored me to try it in small doses and keep extending my time in consciousness. It was arduous, but I persisted and began to see the difference meditation made in my life. Today I can transcend into a quiet meditative state quickly and for hours at a time. Meditation has changed my life, made me a better person all around, and created this book.
