REWRITE YOUR SCRIPT: TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE IN 8 WEEKS WITH MEDITATION
CARLSBAD, Calif. (MAR 26, 2012) – What if you could create the life you’ve always wanted and feel happy, fulfilled, and creative? Meditation expert Sarah McLean’s groundbreaking new book Soul-Centered: Transform Your Life in 8 Weeks with Meditation (Hay House, May 2012) reveals the contemporary, simple practices that Sarah has used with thousands of clients across the country to help them achieve a new perspective and find peace and fulfillment.
In her new book, McLean offers 3 ways to re-write your script in life:
1. Say “yes” to something that you would normally say “no” to in your life.
2. Change your habits. Begin with a “Beginner’s Mind” instead of your typical perspective.
3. Allow the practice of meditation to change the pathways in your brain.
Scientifically proven to reduce stress, alter the grey matter of the brain, and even help you look and feel younger, new research at UCLA earlier this month found that when the caregivers in families of those dealing with dementia incorporate a daily practice of meditation, they show improved mental and cognitive functioning and lower levels of depressive symptoms. This is one of the latest findings in a recent wave of research that began late last year which revealed how meditation improves attention, reduces the experience of pain and the stress response, and increases the areas of the brain responsible for compassion and contentment. Currently, there are eight clinical trials underway (as monitored by the National Institutes of Health) regarding the impact of meditation on various chronic diseases that are often treated with pharmaceuticals.
In her new release, Soul-Centered: Transform Your Life in 8 Weeks with Meditation (Hay House, May 2012), Sarah McLean, also known as the face of mainstream meditation, offers simple techniques to help anyone adopt a regular meditative practice to help him or her experience more peace and wellbeing in daily life. These simple exercise can help the reader change their habitual negative self-talk, and begin to make healthier choices and transform their lives. Among the twenty something techniques and instructions included in this book, these four basic practices are included. They are derived from ancient contemplative practices, but have a modern application:
1. Breath awareness for present moment awareness for more enjoyment
2. Body awareness for emotional and physical awareness for enhanced choice-making
3. Sitting meditation for reducing stress and relaxing the body
4. Mantra meditation for connecting with peace and becoming calmer
Sarah has worked with some of the most renowned mind-body experts of our time including Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, Byron Katie and Gary Zukav. She’s taught judges, physicians, celebrities, moms, and everyone in between, these proven practices to improve wellbeing in just 8 weeks.
