Books Worth Reading – For Meditation

May 8, 2020

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

10% Happier by Dan Harris

I’ve talked about this book in my posts about meditation – Meditation for Beginners and Meditation Q & A. This book is the why of meditation, and comes from the voice of a skeptic, which probably speaks to more people (at least in the beginning). Dan Harris shares his story, and why he needed meditation to enter his life. It also talks about how to start slow and not put pressure on yourself to be a perfect meditator. This is the book that got me started on my meditation journey, and I know it’s had the same impact on many others.

Just Sit by Sukey Novogratz

Just Sit is all about the how of meditation and makes it so accessible to everyone. It also talks lots about the benefits of meditation – if you weren’t convinced you wanted to make meditation a part of your life before this, you’ll be convinced after. With all it’s pictures and visual cues, this is a quick, easy, digestible read.

Unplug by Suze Yale Schwartz

I was sold with Unplug right from the get-go. Even though I love all the cheesiness that can come with meditation, I really like the raw, get down to business, “this-stuff-is-really-good-for-you,” kind of perspective on meditation as well. Unplug does exactly that – it covers the who, what, where, when, why, how, of meditation, in a no non-sense way, and brings meditation to everyone, even if you’re the person that truly thinks they only have one minute a day, or less… Also, it’s now on my wish list to visit her meditation studio in LA.

Hope these books help get you on the mat!

ABOUT ME
I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel. I love random questions and fun facts, and am always searching for better ways to bring wellness and health into my life. I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Have you found any ways to minimize the stuff chaos in your house?!

Taking your car to the shop with car seat aged kids. 

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
