In the book How to Meditate With Your Dog: An Introduction To Meditation For Dog Lovers (Maui Media, October 2005, $16.95; Hardcover), lifelong mediators and dog lover James Jacobson weaves the charming "tail" of his highly evolved Maltese, Maui, with practical tips on how to bring the benefits of meditation into daily life. "Dogs are natural mediators," Jacobson says. "Your dog may look like he's staring into space, but he's actually 'hound lounging' and living in the moment."
In How To Meditate With Your Dog, readers will learn:
* How to use the love they have for their dogs as the basis for a regular meditation practice.
* How to deepen the bond between "pack leader" and dog.
* How to cultivate compassion, and bring more peace and focus into daily life.
* How to live in the moment and let go of stress.
* That life is a bowl of liver snacks.
* The book is a fun read and includes over a dozen bone-tickling cartoons, many from The New Yorker and classic strips such as Peanuts and Marmaduke.
Chock-full of valuable lessons, this humorous, yet informative book shares the message that meditation is accessible to everyone, and shows dog-lovers that they have the added advantage of a natural meditators just panting to teach them.
