In Praise of Meditation for Beginners,
8 Weeks to a New Life
I was new to meditation and not sure how to get into it or even if I had time for it. Everything was at my own pace and easy as I went forward. Everything was detailed and steps broken down for anyone to follow. Its full of information that made me excited for each week to come.

Acknowledgments
Love begins, or should begin, at home and for me that is Thomas and Sara Irick. I can comfortably say without them I would still be seeking love instead of writing about how its been crucial in my development of self-love. That also means Karen, if all wives loved as you do there would be fewer men looking to fill their voids in another. Lastly, thats Daijah & Jaclyn who are now exploring new worlds out of the nest but I know they are safe and grounded ready to tackle whatever the world may present to them. I am truly blessed, grateful and appreciative for all the experiences life has bestowed upon my life.
I am indebted to the host of professionals who Ive gleaned much knowledge and wisdom, which has shaped my life. Among them are Cheikh Diop, John Jackson, Nathan McCall, Anthony Browder, Runoko Rashidi, Malcolm X, Muata Ashby, Iyanla Vanzant and Yirser Ra Hotep to name a few.
This book is dedicated to all of individuals that know they need to invest in their selves but dont know where to start. Meditation is the gateway to a life of fulfillment and reaching beyond your wildest dreams.
In the beginners mind there are many possibilities; in the experts mind there are few.

Testimonials
Meditation is internal freedom. It is a necessary fuel that is free to all if we understand how to use it. It protects us in the physical and it transcends with us spiritually. It is activated by the breath, the Life Force. Meditation constantly transforms us, our union with one another, and how we deal with life as a whole. It provides clear skies when the world is overcast.
- Leslie Goodman, CKYT
Meditation has taught me to have patience within myself. Sitting in a comfortable position and breathing was never easy for me. What I didnt initially understand is the importance of having consistency in sitting still and breathing for a preset amount of time was helpful. There were many times my thoughts were not calm, painful even. I found taking things one-step at a time was key. Acknowledge the act of sitting, the time and the breath firstthe calming of the mind comes with consistency.
