We love this book because yoga and meditation are relaxing. This book explains how to meditate in easy-to-understand language so kids can understand it. When we feel a little stressed out, we take Feel Better Now: Meditation out of our pockets and find a quiet spot to meditate. Then we go back to what we were doing and feel so much calmer. We recommend this book to everyone.

This book is a must have! It's very well written and edited, and explains meditation so clearly and understandably. You can sense the author's keen knowledge of his subject and his enthusiasm for meditation. Feel Better Now...Meditation is the perfect gift for everyone you know who is under stress, and who isn't these days?! It's pocket-size so you can carry it with you easily for handy reference. There are other books on the subject out there, but this book captures the essence of the meditative process and its benefits better than any other. The accompanying illustrations are delightful too.

With all the different meditation techniques out there today, it can be very confusing. This book, Feel Better Now: Meditation, is an easy to read and use book that is great for both beginners and for more advanced practitioners who may want a refresher course. Halperin has an open, non-threatening teaching technique that is welcoming and accepting. He helps you understand that there is no one right way to meditate. Also, the book is compact and easy to take with you when you travel. I highly recommend this book.

Review of Feel Better Now...Meditation
by Gary Halperin

If you have thought that meditation is some arcane art requiring uncomfortable postures, long study of eastern mysticism, or mastery of esoteric jargon, you will be refreshingly surprised by Gary Halperin's book. Meditation, as described in Feel Better Now...Meditation, requires none of that.

In clear, simple and gentle language, he explains -- often using amusing illustrations from everyday life -- what meditation is, how to do it and what benefits you may expect from the practice. As a long-term meditator, I found the book an excellent review, and even picked up a few new hints.

I am also a churchgoing Christian. Some Christians think the practice of meditation is in opposition to Christian principles. While I respect their right to their views, I believe that meditation in no way contradicts, interferes with or dilutes my practice of my religion. Many Christians, including clergy, practice some form of meditation.

If you want to learn how to meditate or review the basics, this book is for you. Once I started reading it, I could hardly put it down.
