Most know that meditation is a path to achieving balance and well-being in our busy lives, but it’s typically associated with long periods of sitting in a specialized setting.

    In Three Minutes a Day, Dr. Richard Dixey presents a different tradition, one that encourages short exercises to stabilize mental experience. For the millions of Americans who are interested in meditation but feel they don’t have the time, this is the perfect way to learn and incorporate this valuable practice into everyday life. Calm clarity and truly transformative benefits are within reach. Dixey’s method is laid out simply and clearly and includes:

    • visualizations and breathing exercises to help readers achieve shamata (calmness) and vipassana (the ability to see clearly) through settled awareness
    • Q&A sections after each exercise that provide opportunities for further clarity and understanding
    • summaries at the end of each short chapter covering the techniques discussed to relieve stress, tension, and anxiety
    • a path to clarity of mind, sharper thinking, improved concentration, and enhanced creativity that can be followed from anywhere in just minutes a day
