    Hello and a very warm welcome to "How To Meditate For Beginners".

    In today's world, it's sometimes very difficult to find a little inner peace away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. It's a fact that meditation, in all its forms, can help.

    Patricia Fontaine

    Hi, my name is Patricia, I'm 42, married with two young children and apart from being an aspiring author, I'm a very busy mum. I've always kept diaries and journals so writing has always been in my blood so to speak. Writing books however is a lot tougher, especially when trying to please an audience. I hope you find my books helpful and rewarding.

      Foreword

      Welcome to Meditation For Beginners. When writing, I try to consider every chapter with the reader in mind. I’m conscious that time is precious and that generally the average attention span is short.

      Some of you may well have chosen this publication to reduce the stress in your lives or to cope with the everyday pressures that most people face. Whatever the reason, I promise you that meditation will help but like all disciplines, it requires practice.

      This unique guide will provide you with the tools that you need and give you a comprehensive understanding
