Sarah wrote this book to make meditation simple and easy for anyone. You will learn the 5 Essentials to a successful meditation practice, along with step-by-step instruction in a wide variety of meditation practices, including an eating meditation, a number of walking meditations, and a variety of seated silent meditations. You’ll also discover the many transformational effects of meditation, which include becoming more self-aware, becoming more joyous, being less judgemental, treating yourself and others with more compassion, feeling more connected to your true self, expressing yourself more honestly, receiving the gifts of your life, and establishing a nourishing lifestyle.

Sarah shares her stories about her meditation journey—meditating in temples in Japan, living and chanting in an ashram in India, and being a head cook in a Zen Buddhist monastery in the wilderness. This journey into meditation took her around the world and totally transformed her life. Though she traveled around the world to find the best and most authentic meditation practices, you don’t have to. You’ll find them compiled in this 8-week program, perfect for those just beginning a meditation practice, or for those who want to deepen their existing experience.

What has your attention right now? Are you in charge your attention?

Have you considered that your freely given attention is the most powerful expression of love?

Consider this: your attention is a currency, and what you pay it to is enlivened in your life. I’d even consider your attention your superpower. It’s truly one of the most important ingredients for living a powerful, purposeful, love-filled life. That’s why your ability to pay attention—to direct it where you want to and when you want to—is vital to that end.

Unfortunately, most people maintain a continuous partial attention. That means they’re not truly engaged, but instead, are kind of half listening or half paying attention, and this makes them easily distracted by demands from their to-do lists, their various mental musings, or their electronic companions. They squander this precious currency. And can lose the abililty to pay attention on purpose.

In The Power of Attention, you’ll discover simple mindfulness tools and meditation techniques to help you hone your attention and use it as a powerful force for good. You’ll be able to reclaim your attention from the world of distractions, so you can be more present, self-aware, and focused. You’ll also be guided on an exploration to discover the source of the force of your attention. You’ll learn how it is living through you as you, and calling you forth to live an extraordinary life.
