Product Description
Demystifying the practice of meditation, Pragito Dove presents an enjoyable and uncomplicated way to find relief from our busy, overstressed daily lives. Adapting ancient traditions-both Eastern and Western-into a modern and accessible approach, Dove explains how to bring awareness to our everyday actions by meditating while eating, working, laughing, humming, or just standing still. She uses practical, down-to-earth strategies, simple reminders, and flexible plans to help everyone-from beginners to advanced meditators-develop an individualized practice that includes relaxing, practicing nonjudgment, developing patience, discovering trust, and opening up to love and compassion.

“I highly recommend this extraordinary book.” (Margot Anand, author of The Art of Everyday Ecstasy)

“A reminder that spiritual practice can be a natural, spontaneous part of everyday life. Pragito Dove is a wise, gentle guide.” (Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words and Reinventing Medicine)Amazon.com Review
We need meditation now more than ever, according to Pragito Dove in Lunchtime Enlightenment. Dove, who has 20 years of experience in stress management and mediation counseling in the San Francisco area, believes that “Meditation can give us the inner anchor, a touchstone of sanity in an increasingly crazy world.” As modern-day life becomes intensely scheduled and busy, meditation is a sure-fire way to find “the serenity and joy we seek,” says Dove. Her teaching skills are evident in her easy-to-follow meditation instructions. Some meditations involve sitting (no worries–she discusses comfortable postures) and take more than an hour. Others take less than five minutes, and all can be done at just about any time of day. The resounding message is that meditation can easily be incorporated into daily life, whether it is a workplace, backyard, bustling airport, or bedroom. Simply “eating with awareness” or “sitting beneath a tree” can lead to lunchtime calm, if not enlightenment. Dove even shows readers how to meditate while dancing, running, jogging, or working out at the gym. While Dove’s spiritual wisdom shines in the later chapters–as she demonstrates how mediation creates more trust, forgiveness, faith, and compassion–you never feel as though Dove has a mystical or religious agenda. More than anything else, this excellent book (with a deceptively gimmicky title) helps us slow our minds down, so life stops passing us by. –Gail Hudson
