I am a psychotherapist who understands the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual benefits of meditation. I recommend it to my clients frequently. Yet, personally, I have tried on many occasions to get into a regular practice of meditation, but find my mind so restless when I sit down, that I want to jump up again instantly. This book and CD makes the process so much easier and is the most refreshing and lively take on meditation I have ever encountered. I just pop in the CD, forward it to the theme I want to meditate on (The Heart Warming Meditation is my personal favorite) and for 5-7 minutes I relax. The good news is that because the meditations are short, you can do them anytime of the day or night. Camille and Lorin make meditation seem like an extension of living, rather than a separate zone, impossible to reach. I have already given this book and CD as a birthday present to my favorite friends. And, it's at the top of my Christmas giving list this year. I can't imagine a better gift to give to those that I care about.

WOW!!! Beyond meditation, therapy, or self help, this book leads the way into experiencing the very richness of living and helps me to realize the creative choices each moment has. The book and CD have a range of meditations that respond to the ordinary in everyday life in powerful, yet simple ways with beautiful, original accompanying music. Lorin and Camille are wonderful companions as I follow their inspiring voices on the CD. Listening, I feel a sense of passion, aliveness, tenderness and adventure as I foray into the personal, creative, parts of my self these meditations encourage. This is easy. It's like I've stumbled on to some key secrets into myself ...with a little bit of help. The book is a great refresher (i leave mine in the car)... poetic and direct. I highly recommend CD & book for anyone who wants to feeeeel gooooood!

I had a headache and was feeling edgy. Just in from the road and consumed by too much push and pull. I knew what to do. I headed straight to the button that says ON and jumped to Heartwarming, my favorite cut on Maurine and Roche's glowing new book/meditation disc. It took one beat and then I was instantly touched, the rawness softened and AHHHH. I was transported. Soaking in the pulse of music and voice I found instant entry into the joy of just safe and sound inside of me. Thank you! I don't know what I did without this brilliant piece of wisdom and delight.

This jewel of a book (with CD) guides the reader/listener through a series of processes that will open the doors to a vibrant inner life. Each chapter is a gift to be enjoyed over and over again~

As we face the reality of present day wars and the breeding of hatred and dividedness, we each need to restore wholeness to our fragmented inner lives and equip ourselves to bring about understanding, healing and reconciliation. I find that this book is applicable for people of various faiths, and as a Christian, their guidance is especially helpful to me in my practice of Scriptural meditation and movement. Having begun the journey with Camille and Lorin's 24/7, I am able to more effectively serve others who are coping with pain and walk alongside as they rediscover their joy.

I hope you will find this book applicable to your life and be blessed by it as well.

This book teaches that meditation is really no more than learning to slow down long enough to appreciate and enjoy your life. By pointing out various transitional moments throughout the average day that can benefit from increased awareness, Meditation 24/7 incorporates life-enhancing practices and techniques into real life. Reading the book was inspiring, and practicing just a little of what this book has to teach each day can be of tremendous benefit to anyone. I highly recommend this book.

After my original purchase, I realized I would also want a copy to keep at the office and several for gifts, so my advice is to stock up!

The clear simple step-by-step instructions in the book for over a dozen meditations really demystify meditation. No mumbo jumbo here! The meditations themselves are not just relaxing, they are transformational. I start from where I am, often a rigid state of mind and move effortlessly through a range of emotions to the point where I am reminded to consciously set an intention about my next activity. These meditations are a great way to refocus and live in the moment.

The CD is so multifunctional! I mix and match meditations, such as using the "Move It" meditation while I get dressed or on my walk to work. When I need a longer meditation for lunch at work, I string together "Fill Your Cup," "Feast Your Senses" and "Mini Siesta." At night I might put together "Heartwarming and "Fall into Sleep."

Share the peace: This book/CD set is the perfect gift for friends who are into meditation, frustrated with meditation, or stressed out/depressed/anxious.

Great book for both the novice and well healed meditator. This book has introduced me to new ways and places to meditate. Whether to create calm before the day starts over a cup of coffee or peace before visiting the in laws. This book is well written, sucinct and practical in its guide to where and how to meditate. Its not about sitting for 6 hours and struggling to lose oneself. It is finding oneself in the flow of the every day. Bravo.

This book is written in such an elegant and descriptive style that it's impossible not to develop and hone the sensory awareness and visual imagery essential for incorporating the meditative state into everyday activities. The meditations really ground you in the present moment and fill you with a sense of oneness with the universe and with the Divine Creator.

The music on the CD is exquisitely composed and lends itself beautifully to the overall message of the meditation. I prefer Camille's voice over Lorin's, but both are relaxing and centering in their own way.

I'm not sure about the practicality of listening to some of the early morning meditations like 'Awakening' because I won't have headphones on as I wake up, but I suppose I can reach for them once I do.

This book offers a distinctly unique and awe-inspiring view on how to approach life in a more meaningful way. I look forward to referencing the book and CD often on my journey of self-discovery and transformation. I want to be present in the 'here and now' and find happiness in the everyday versus waiting in vain for it to show up in some future endeavor. Life is now and this book really harnesses that basic truth. I love that. Excellent, excellent work.
