An Ounce of Meditation: A tiny guide to get you started

by Jenifer Cartland

An Ounce of Meditation provides a gentle and informative introduction to the practice and the science of meditation. It offers tips, templates, and practices, all intended to help the new practitioner begin their journey and to support the continued enrichment of practice for seasoned meditators.

Medical research increasingly tells us what monks, yogis, meditators, and contemplatives of every stripe have told us for thousands of years - that meditation is good for your body and mind. 'An ounce of meditation' may be truly worth a pound of cure.WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING"Here is a most refreshing book for those who are curious or want to start a meditation practice, as well as for 'steady meditators' who are looking for new inspiration or medical and scientific proof of its efficacy. With gentle kindness, Jenifer Cartland presents simple steps for starting a practice.

"With total respect for personal freedom regarding time, position, form or discipline, she guides the reader into a daily practice, encouraging awareness of any experiences that may arise, remembering always to stay in close connection with the breath. It is a wonderful 'companion-book' to read and refer to every day as you evolve in your practice, or dip into from time to time for a little guidance and inspiration."

─ Angela Farmer, internationally recognized yoga teacher and creator of the DVD The Feminine Unfolding, along with many other DVDs and CDs.

"An Ounce of Meditation is the perfect companion for those who are ready to learn the importance of meditation through the friendly and encouraging voice of Jenifer Cartland. She encourages us to build a practice with compassion and care.

"For twenty years I have guided a yoga teacher training program. We selected this book to help guide our students. It is packed with practical wisdom. It includes neuroscience, the benefits of meditation, breath practices, and 8 easy to follow practices. I highly recommend it."
