(New World Library) While traditional meditation requires that an individual sit for at least half an hour daily, the short-form meditations that Selby offers in this guide can be completed in just five minutes. The 12 focus phrases at the core of the practice he suggests insert positive messages into a person’s ongoing inner dialogue, promoting spiritual development and emotional healing. Selby has worked as a therapist and mindfulness coach for two decades and is the author of Quiet Your Mind and Seven Masters, One Path.
