“Paul Farrell‘s four basic rules of meditation introduce busy managers and other professionals to the wisdom of the ages: finding peace, having fun, and enjoying a richer and fuller life.”
Ric Edelman, author, Discover the Wealth Within You; Truth About Money
“If you’re wondering why none of those hot stock tips have produced great wealth for you, it’s time for you to read The Millionaire Meditation. You’ll discover that financial success starts with you, not with pundits, and Paul Farrell shows you the way.”
How do you know if you’ve got the right meditation for you? Well, first of all, you’ve come a long way knowing what’s doesn’t work—just knowing that you’re one of the four out of five Americans who’ve already tried sitting meditation and know it is not the best way for you. Still, you live in a high-pressure world, you’ve heard that meditation has benefits, and you’re persistent.
So how can you find out what’s right for you? Here’s a little experiment: Start with the next ten days, then work out the details over the coming months. Start today and pick some of your favorite experiences in all four zones and practice the four basic rules in each.
You might, for example try some simple count-to-ten breathing, a walk at lunch, jogging, or listening to your favorite music while commuting to work. You decide the activity. Then focus and apply the basic rules. This is your experiment.
Then continue one day at a time, expanding your efforts for ten days. Go slow. On day two you might try it while writing in your journals, reading to your child, or on your the next trip to the health club, meditate in sauna. Each day go back, read about a new way people meditate. Try different ones that fit your personally. Use the four rules.
