More About the Author

I was born and raised in NYC. I've always had a fascination with the idea of freedom and how life works. I began exploring meditation and spirituality in the 70's.

My life has been quite an adventure, at times traumatic, but more recently filled with lots of magic and miracles. I had the gift of many awesome mentors along the way and feel privileged to share some of their wisdom, love, understand and joy with others through my books, teachings and podcasts.

In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined a life so rich and full. I love teaching others how to create that gift in their lives as well.

Among other books, I have written the Complete Idiot's Guide to Short Meditations (it is great!), Dance of Power, The Toltec Way and Mastering the Toltec Way. I invite you to tune into my podcast Food for The Soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars For those beginning meditation..., May 23, 2007

I've been 'directed' towards utilizing meditation in my life and have been avoiding doing it because there seemed to be 'certain' ways of meditating. Susan's book takes away all the "shoulds" and meets a person where they are at. The meditations are joyous, profound, life-changing and freeing. I highly recommend this book to beginners and practiced meditators alike. The meditations reach a person at every level!

THis is a marvelous guide for those times when you need a quick and direct route to your center. The meditations are short and effective. They are a gentle reminder that all really is pono, Hawaiian for perfect.

Yes, I am the author of this book and I was so excited when I was asked to write it. I love leading people on guided meditations and this book is full of them! Over 60 guided meditations.

I have gotten wonderful feedback on this book - so far one person wrote to say she is using it in her group sessions for people in recovery. Another person said she was deeply touched by the meditations. And one woman wrote and said she loved it but she was puzzled about the Complete Idiot's part. She went on to say that after she used the book for a few days she realized only an idiot wouldn't. That one gave me a good chuckle. One man said it really touched his heart and changed his life.

I have dedicated my life to helping people lead rich, full and happy lives. This book is very simple yet full of wonderful bits of wisdom I have gathered over the years.

I hope you will take the time to read it. And if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line. If you visit my web site you can sign up for my semi-daily reflections - sort of an ongoing guided journey home to the magical you you've always been.

With love,
Susan
