Don't Hate, Meditate!

5 Easy Practices to Get You Through the Hard Sh*t (and into the Good)

By: Megan Monahan

Narrated by: Megan Monahan

Meditation instructor, Deepak Chopra protégé, director of Meditation Wanderlust Hollywood, and Lululemon ambassador Megan Monahan presents a no-nonsense guide to meditation for everyday soul-searchers.

This modern guide to meditation from instructor Megan Monahan takes readers beyond empty Instagram truisms to the simple yet effective ways to "meditate their way through the bad shit and into the good shit." With a fresh voice and perspective, Monahan presents a set of tools grounded in a meditation technique that is impossible to screw up. With her help, you'll unpack the five spiritual mindsets (Presence, Acceptance, Intention, Nonjudgment, and Trust, aka PAINT) that are key to moving out of constriction and fear and into a more expansive space within yourself and your life. Ultimately, you will quickly notice, at any triggering moment, where you're getting stuck and how to more consciously move through it. The good news? This process is applicable to everything in your life, from missing a flight to seeing your ex's engagement photo on social media to losing your job. Wouldn't it be nice to not be completely leveled by any of those occurrences? Plot twist: After reading this book, taking the quizzes, and doing the themed meditations . . . you won't be!

Includes a PDF of meditations and quizzes.

Critic reviews

“If you are in need of an easy and practical guide to conscious living, this is the book for you!”—Deepak Chopra, MD

Yes! Yes! Yes- I needed this

FIRST let me start by saying I would consider myself "a skeptic" "the opposite of woo woo" right alongside someone who has "no time to even THINK let alone meditate". I have two little kids a full time job, a side hustle and a husband - It feels like the sort of season in life where I cant even find a time to pee by myself let alone sit on a small round cushion (before reading I figured this was a necessity to reach a zen state) for 30 mins and meditate...

NOW let me say that I LOVED this book. I found myself on a camping trip with no wifi and kids asleep at 8 in the tent, so I took out a headlamp and dove in. Megan makes meditation feel extremely light & accessible. The tactics in the book are do-able and fun. I realized I was putting so much judgment on myself for how "bad" I am at meditating which after reading I know is SILLY.

Such a breath of fresh air! I cannot recommend enough!

Absolutely Terrific

Megan Monahan is amazing! I have enjoyed every meditation. Please do more.
Thank you.

Megan is the real deal!

Her meditation class was one of the first group meditation sessions that I was ever a part of. The experience was magical and very easy to understand. I'm glad that she reiterates on those points in this book. Get a copy for yourself and for your friend that seems to constantly be going through drama in their life. This will help!
