Meditations for Modern Times – Murray du Plessis

Slow down, heal, and effortlessly awaken your inner adventure. Discover 101 creative, easy-to-follow guided meditations designed to bypass poor concentration and connect you directly with Spirit.

In our hyper-connected, fast-paced modern world, finding a moment of absolute stillness can feel like an impossible task. Many of us try to sit in silence, only to find our minds racing with endless to-do lists, ultimately deciding that "meditation just isn't for me." In Meditations for Modern Times: 101 Ways to Slow Down and Connect to Spirit, veteran meditation teacher Murray du Plessis dismantles the myth that meditation requires a completely empty mind. Drawing on fifteen years of study and global teaching experience, du Plessis introduces a refreshing, highly accessible approach: meditating through active, creative thinking rather than struggling for mental emptiness.
