Five Great Minutes

Five Good Minutes is a brilliant little book. It's compact so I can take it everywhere, and the meditations are very useful for daily life. Depending on my need/mood, I flip through to find a helpful meditation and then do it. I have had night anxiety for years. The relaxation meditation has helped me calm down before bed each night, alleviating stress and worry in order to fall asleep. I am grateful to have found this great little book!

A Wonderful Book!

This is a fabulous book. It helps make it easier to take the time for setting intentions, breathing, meditating, etc. Perfect for someone who lacks time and needs motivation for stress reduction. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!

Five Good Reasons

Here are Five Good Reasons why I like this book: 1. I can pick it up and just open it and each double page will have a relevant and practical way for me to come back to center. 2. It is a nifty size to stash by the bedside. 3. It would make a terrific and welcome gift. 4. It reminds me of what is important in a sometimes insane world. 5. The suggestions in the book really do take just five minutes.

Five Good Minutes

This book was absolutely perfect for me. My mother gave it to me as a gift and I love it. I am a mother of 2 children under the age of 5 and have practically no time for myself. These 5 minute exercises have really helped to center me for the day. I seem to be much more relaxed with the kids. The exercises are quick and easy and don't require tons of time. This is the perfect gift.

5 GREAT MINUTES

My typical morning is to wolf my breakfast down and dash out off work. Now I spend 5 minutes in mindfullness of positive ideas, exercises, and moments. What a difference it makes driving to work. I'm less stressed, more relaxed and even grateful for the 20 minute drive. What a great way to start my day. This book was written for me!! Dr. Brantley & Wendy Millstine have been able to capture goodness in 5 minutes. Thank you!
