Description: Meditation, says Pragito Dove, is not mystical mumbo-jumbo but an uncomplicated way to link the sacred with our day-to-day existence, a mini-vacation we can treat ourselves to in the midst of our busy, overstress lives. It can easily be included in a hectic corporate office day, during our commute, at home with our families, or as part of a deeper spiritual practice.

"Lunchtime Enlightenment" originated from a series of popular noon-hour talks given by Pragito Dove at Stacey's bookstore in San Francisco's financial district. As months passed, the lawyers, stockbrokers and bankers in her audience became regulars.

In engaging contemporary language, Dove explains the steps that apply to any meditation method. She then presents a range of basic to more advanced practices that can be incorporated into our busy lives -- while driving a car, working in the office, or renewing ourselves on the weekend. These meditations range from simple laughter (to relax and open the heart); to humming (which develops trust) to standing on the earth (to connect us to the present). The book ends with a flexible plan to help everyone -- from beginners to advanced meditators -- develop an individualized practice to meet their needs. The modern meditations in this book can help anyone dissolve the tear-out-your-hair tension we all experience in the calm pool of peace within.
