by Lama Christie McNally
Meditation helps us relax, sharpens our minds and increases our creativity. McNally demonstrates that meditation also provides a much greater gift — it awakens our innate potential to shape our reality, to make moments of joy last forever, and to bring us the peace and contentment that we all ultimately seek.
Written in an instructional yet intimate style, the author guides readers through a progression of meditations, from the simple concept of compassion to the transformative concept of emptiness.

McNally, who has studied with some of the greatest Indian, Tibetan and Western Buddhist masters, explains the central tenets of Buddhism and reveals how they apply to everyday life.
