I’m a human who’s been meditating for 17 years, not for relaxation but instead to gain answers and insight on my work and life. For spiritual pursuit yes, but mainly to get practical answers and plan my daily tasks. In meditation I receive information on the emotional, intellectual, spiritual and practical dimensions of my life. Meditation helps fuel my evolution and pursuit of my dreams. I speed dial source, universal forces. I then apply what I see clearly in meditation and take practical action. I tack, and adjust the ropes in my business and life so I stay on course toward my purpose.

I get too highly strung in the top storey to use meditation just to ‘relax’. That’s too herbal. Plus the Dalai Lama, Deepak and Eckhardt are all over it. Plus I wouldn’t dare compare my messy head to their presence fuelled heights of existence. Meditation for me serves a different purpose: finding practical tools to apply to business and to generate renewal and clarity, and clear vision in my own life. If you have a tendency like me to be highly strung in your brain, you are more likely to require intense exercise + yoga to wind down in order to find some form of physical equilibrium resembling ‘relaxation’, then once engaged in that space – meditation will help you drop deeper into your own physical and spiritual health. Overthinking and negative thinking are the poisons, meditation the antedote.

How to scare your parents: post your traditional parents a copy of Neil Donald Walsh’s Conversations with God just for fun. I did it, without thinking really. I put a very empassioned note attached with it to Mum and Dad about the origins of my opening to connect with god on a more personal level. They didn’t have me sectioned which is handy, but I think they had a good old laugh over a whiskey-gin for mum before they served dinner at precisely 7, and put it down to one of their more bent offspring experiences, without so much as a second thought that connection with source, your own ‘channel’, could actually be entirely possible and real. Meditation Rok is about that path I carved for myself. Me –rok. God- source energy. My very own means to connect with source, spirit, god.

The oxygenating lifeblood of meditation has demonstrated its capacity to improve heart health by reducing blood pressure + heart rate, boost the production of DHEA and stimulate the production of killer cells to fight off disease, all while parked on your ass breathing deeply - what a win.

All sounds a no brainer till you try and sit down and actually do it, meditate that is. It’s not a state that harmonises with tech driven, busy, complex, screen struck overstimulated lives. But you can with a bit of persistence and self-discipline, work out a way to plug into the regenerating life juice that meditation holds a continuous stream of.

This simple book offers 17 tips on how to apply meditation to direct your business, inner and outer life. I follow no mantra or system of ‘mindful’ pursuit. Except to say that I believe meditation is critical for me in maintaining a healthy functioning state of mind. I exist between extremes: a mind that sans meditation runs on overdrive like a manic machine eating woolly mammoth that runs unhinged, and with meditation is woven into a wellspring of positive pure energy, pouring light through my soul and bringing my connection to source into my body in a very tangible way.

My approach to meditation is not rocket science or a profound revelation in and of itself (several thousand year old yoga sutras being the origin of meditation), but it is my own personal simple, applied and effective method to connect to other dimensions...
