Have you ever meditated but still found that you can observe yourself having unenlightened thoughts and feelings about yourself or others and wondered what is the point of meditating? While this book is not about teaching people how to meditate, it is about teaching people how to use their meditative practice to make practical, pragmatic and trackable changes in their lives. I call this technique Applied Meditation.There are 3 meditation techniques taught in the book they are there to help people get started if they do not have a practice, but the main focus of the book is answering the question, "I am meditating what now?"
