Foreword

By Dr. Godfree Yoo

I can’t meditate. Oh really? You’re one of those, I see. I see them all the time in my practice.

I ask them - How many words can be used to describe nothing?

Perhaps a reason why meditation has grown so popular in recent times is that as society and life grow more complex, we crave a return to something more simple.

The manifestation of everything is balanced by a return to nothingness.

However, this book isn’t about nothing.

If you pay attention to it and follow it, it can become your useful guide that is always with you. From the moment you’re born, til the day you die, it turns out this useful guide was there all along, to assist those
