The Meditation for the Self-Directed Learner e-book is a great way to experience and learn meditation from the ground up. It's written in simple language and flows easily from one topic to the other.
I've often heard say "I'd love to meditate because of my anxiety and stress levels, however I have absolutely no time..." If you have next to no time – many don’t and sometimes I don't either – but you would really love to start meditating because of the great benefits, consider this. Three minutes is a passing conversation with a work colleague at the elevator door, three minutes flicking through a magazine at the newsagency or news stand, or three minutes admiring a merchandise display outside your favourite store window. You could do a three minute breath meditation, three minute journal writing, three minute focus on an object, or even take a three minute walk. See! In next to no time at all you could be meditating and accessing your own well of inner peace!

You can use this e-book as a guide towards achieving greater relaxation for yourself or you may find that you’d like to pursue this discipline at a deeper level through a structured meditation group, or one-on-one meditation sessions with a good meditation teacher.

Wishing you many blissful and wonderful moments!
