Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
In recent years, mainstream Americans have begun to come around to meditation in a big way-and scientific studies are suggesting that the physical and mental benefits are solid and real. But to many, it remains something mystical and inaccessible...and spiritually-oriented tomes on the market don't do much to make it easier.
As interest in meditation continues to grow, this book offers a simple, no-nonsense program to help beginners experience reduced stress and increased focus in only eight minutes a day. Designed by meditation expert and bestselling author Victor Davich, this program teaches the basic principles of meditation while clearing up the misconceptions and myths that too often get in the way.

• 7 Minute Meditation
28 January, 2010
You heard of this thing, the 8-meditation?
Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Meditation.
Think about it. You walk into a book store, you see 8-Minute Meditation sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Meditation right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Meditation. And we guarantee just as good a ripoff as the 8-minute folk.
If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who meditates in 6 minutes? You won't even get your chakra's goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
'Cause you're fired!

• Perfect For Beginners
11 October, 2009
I bought this book because I was looking at meditation for dummies to take my meditation practice to another level and found a review that suggested this book was better. I've meditated on and off for a couple years on my own and always wanted to take it to another level but never did. I don't regret buying this book for a second. 8 minute meditation is an 8 week program that changes your meditation technique from week to week, each week bringing you deeper into the meditation. I believe at the end you choose one of the techniques to continue depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Currently I just started on week 5 and have noticed improved concentration and a calmer mind; however I will say that I do 8 minutes twice a day rather than the once a day the book tries to mandate - this is ONLY because I have been doing meditation for a couple years - a beginner should stick to the 8 minutes once a day mandate in the book.
There is a stigma about the word meditation - that it somehow implies religion must be attached to it. There is no religion in this book which is perfect for me. I wish we had another word than meditation so that people would realize it can have nothing to do with religion if one chooses. It is simply the act of training you're mind to "allow what is" as this book defines meditation and teaches you how to do. This allows you to surpass your thoughts that have nothing to do with the moment which amazingly improves your concentration.
I'm sorry to say that I can't say weather meditation for dummies is better or not as I've had that book for 4 weeks and haven't read more that a couple pages of it.

• Cant Get Into It
04 September, 2009
Not crazy about the author. Very boring and hard to get into. He repeats not to skip parts, but i couldnt help it. Aside from that, it hasnt interested me enough to get far into the book. Ive had it for months. Not my kind of meditation book.

• Found More Success In Another Book
03 December, 2009
8 Minute Meditation was an interesting topic read, just not that practical. The techniques were to complex and couldn't master them. I did learn how to meditate through another book: "Psychic Development For Beginners" that also taught me other important focusing, and mindfulness skills.
Best of Luck
