Meditation is not a path. It is a realization that you are already the goal. Meditation is not a practice. It is the end of practice. It is a do-nothing program whereby stillness dominates. How can you master meditation? Do nothing, nothing, and less than nothing.

PART FOUR
ILLUMINATING SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT

A s a hippie flower child in the 1960s, I was desperately seeking higher awareness. I read every book I could lay hands on about what Buddhists call nirvana or satorithe state of spiritual enlightenment. We hippies were trying to get there through LSD. That didn't work out for me. I didn't come down from the drug for months and experienced perpetual, terrifying LSD flashbacks.

However, once I recovered, I lay on my bed one day (clearly clueless, I didn't even know meditation should be practiced in seated position) and prayed for a meditation. Immediately an intense flow of energy rushed through my body from my toes to the top of my head. I was plugged into a cosmic electric socket, but in a most ecstatic way, without drugs. I figured this is meditation. Little did I know it was not only my first meditation but also kundalini awakening. (Kundalini is a spiritual energy that flows up through the body and is considered difficult to attain.)

This was pure beginner's luck. I still didn't know how to meditate. But a friend introduced me to Transcendental Meditation (known commonly as TM), and, at age 21, off to India I went. I then experienced the uncanny blessing of 22 years living in the ashrams and six years serving on the personal staff of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of TM and guru of the Beatles.

After that, I was fortunate to study with Peter Meyer, founder of Teaching of Intuitional Metaphysics, who taught me how to tap, test, trust, and follow the voice of my higher self, and how to ask for and receive spiritual experiences and inner guidance at will.

But what if you have no Maharishi or Meyer to learn from? What if you've tried to meditate with little to no results? What if all you achieve is boredom or a headache? This can be a frustrating, hit-or-miss ordeal.

Yet meditation can be easy and enjoyable when you learn from someone who has practiced and taught it for over 50 years. I started with no spiritual skills, but I learned from masters who guided me step-by-step from point A to B and through the alphabet. These masters trained me to teach meditation from point A to traverse that same alphabet. My goal in this book is to help you succeed in meditating quickly and effortlessly so you can enjoy the benefits of a stress-free, joyous, fulfilling life.

By practicing the methods in this book, you can:

• Enjoy deep relaxation and contentment.
• Open your third eye and supersensory perception.
• Discover who you really are.
• Experience higher states of consciousness.
• Fulfill your true heart's desires and purpose.
• Improve your relationships, health, and success.
• Contribute to greater planetary balance and world peace.

Though I already have fifteen other spiritual self-help books in print, none of those books is solely devoted to the art of guided meditation. This is that book I've always wanted to write, which can bring you untold benefits.

D o you believe you don't have time to meditate? Do you think you can't meditate? Do you have no clue how to get started, or did you try to meditate but stopped doing the practice out of frustration?

Today meditation is more popular than ever. More than 14% of American adults say they practice it. Its advantages to health, well-being, creativity, longevity, and happiness are incredibly profound and have been scientifically verified.

Though millions try to meditate, many don't achieve a deep state of restful alertness and therefore don't get the relaxing, healing, spiritually uplifting effects they desire. This book can be the answer. It offers a simple, natural, enjoyable way to meditateguided meditation. This effortless practice can produce powerful, practical, positive results without previous talent, skill, training, or practice.
