Self-Meditation: 3,299 Tips, Quotes, Reminders, and Wake-Up Calls for Peace and Serenity

Don't self-medicate--self-meditate.

Meditation is not just about sitting in a quiet room. With its thousands of inspirations, techniques, affirmations, and ideas drawn from a spectrum of spiritual practices, this portable lifesaver of a book shows how to incorporate the power of meditation into your life all day long, whether at home, in the office, in traffic, while traveling--wherever you need to catch your breath, make your mind quieter and more open, and your heart happier and more peaceful.

A mantra should be one to three syllables and have a soothing sound.
Think generous thoughts.
Affirmation: I am a fresh seed, sprouting anew.
Cook with love--it's what separates good food from mere fuel.
Every time you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, remind yourself to speak purely and lovingly. Give your thoughts a chance to settle down.

Now, at any moment of the day or night, we can all catch our inner breath.
