"I don't have time to meditate!"
Rebekah "Bex" Borucki has heard this a lot. A certified yoga and meditation teacher, she's taught hundreds of thousands of people how to create simple yet powerful meditation practices. In fact, as she'll show you in this book, in as little as 4 minutes, you can change your life.
After years of suffering from anxiety and depression, both as a child and as an adult, Bex took control of her mental and physical health by establishing a rigorous fitness and yoga routine that quickly evolved into her own regular, homegrown 4-minute daily meditation practice. Bex's 4-minute meditations combine mantras, affirmations, breathing and bodywork techniques, and they're designed so that even the busiest people can fit them into their lives.
In this book, Bex guides you through 27 different meditation practices, and shares personal stories that demonstrate how meditation has helped her overcome various challenges. She also answers commonly asked questions like "Do my eyes have to stay closed?" and"What do I do if my body starts to hurt?"; provides technical information about props, postures, and mantras; and offers tools to cope with complex issues such as grief, body acceptance, and relationships.
By spending just 4 minutes a day with this practice, you will find deep, meaningful, and lasting healing.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I love this book and its approach. It's so easy to think that meditation needs to be difficult and that there's no time to do it, and this book shatters that myth. Whatever challenge you're facing, I know this book contains answers for you, and results you can experience in just a few (4) minutes."

"Wow! This isn't just a book. This is a journey. Rebekah's beautiful personal story flows through these pages and I couldn't help but feel so connected to her words like she was taking the words out of my mouth in numerous chapters. This book's inspiring words are truly incredible and I recommend this book to anyone on the path to finding more peace within themselves. In a time when our world is stressed out and chaotic, this book is a beautiful reminder to go within and learn how to love yourself-something I needed many years ago before I started my journey to healing. I wish I had this book 10 years ago to help me navigate life because I've learned that true healing starts within. Thank you, Rebekah, for showing women how to let go, love themselves, and cultivate a radiant relationship with their inner selves. I am buying this book for all the women in my life."
