About this audiobook
Meditation has been credited for a myriad of great benefits to the people who practice it. It helps people do everything from overcoming addiction to attaining success and improving health.
I say that meditation is even more powerful. You see, all these things are two-dimensional at best. They combine body and mind only, leaving out the third, even more powerful component of the self-called the soul/spirit.
The thing that hardly anyone ever notices is that the chief cause of stress is an imbalance in the self. This self comprises body, mind, and soul. When you leave one out, you will struggle to be complete. Leave out more than one aspect of the self and—well, it will not be pretty.
In this book, I have put together a complete guide to stress-free living by combining meditation with Buddhist teachings for total harmony in every area of your life. I have also incorporated deep truths about stress within the book. Some of these lessons include:
The two universal causes for stress are unmet needs and a perceived threat. Every single stress or stressful situation can be categorized as one of those two things.
When you are not being true to yourself, your mind, body, and spirit will always be at odds. When your life is in balance, you will always find the strength to overcome any kind of stress.
Through meditation, you are better able to avoid letting your emotions suck you into the melodrama with which they come. This allows you to take a step back and tackle issues in your life in an objective and stress-free manner.
To become truly spiritually enlightened, you must first find absolution for the mistakes that you have made. As you pay your self-imposed penance for your mistakes, your conscience will be cleared along the way, as will much of your stress.
