Introduction – Why You Should Read This Book

We are living in a world full of stress, pollutants, and spiritual poverty. Money seems to be one of the most important goals of life today and in its pursuit most people lose all else – mental peace, health, love, family, and spirituality.

––––––––

It is not surprising that the global rate of suicide has increased by 60 percent over the past 45 years. Think about it: This rate indicates that every 40 seconds someone commits suicide in the world.

Why do you think this is happening? Why do you think people lose faith in living? Then, there are the many, who don’t choose to end their lives, but struggle with life while under a great deal of stress.

––––––––

Women, when compared to men, often bear twice the burden with modernization. Once upon a time, the roles of a man and women were clearly identified. The man was the provider and the woman the homemaker. Each one had to focus on just one aspect of building the family. Today, the roles of men and women, merge into a murky grey color. Both partners need to find time to build their career as well as take care of their family.

––––––––

Earlier, women were the center of the home. Women were responsible for seeing that her family was looked after and comfortable in every aspect. Gradually, added to the role of homemaker was the role of bread winner, contributing to the family income by working shoulder to shoulder with men.

––––––––

Having a career and homemaking are both full time jobs. To be good at both, women need to work doubly as hard as men in both areas. This put tremendous stress on their minds and bodies.

––––––––

It gets you thinking. Is there a way out? Is it possible to live in this world and yet, not allow it to affect you so much that you are overwhelmed by negative emotions? Is there any means to calm the mind and refocus energy toward a positive outcome, whenever stress causes negative emotions to peak?

––––––––

The answer to all of these questions is, YES.

––––––––

Yes, you can manage any type of stress and still function normally and productively with the right tool - meditation.

––––––––

Meditation is the means to calm your mind and provide you with inner peace, and it will help you cope with the terrible onslaught of stress that the modern world throws at you.

––––––––

This book focuses on the benefits of meditation for women, but with the exception of a few instances, men stand to benefit just as much from meditation as women do.
