In the past decade, the thousands-year-old practice of meditation has charged into the Western mainstream. Everyone from rock stars to medical professionals rave about meditation and its health promoting benefits. The biggest question people have is, "How do I start?"

Forty-five million Americans already have a built-in meditation guru just panting to teach them: their dogs. In How to Meditate with Your Dog: An Introduction to Meditation for Dog Lovers, James Jacobson and his dog, Maui, show dog lovers everywhere the meditation technique that Jacobson has used and taught for over a decade. This simple method works for dog of all sizes and temperaments - or even without a dog. It relieves stress and enhances well-being, improves focus, and cultivates compassion, all while deepening the connection between pack leaders and their pooches. How to Meditate with Your Dog is the first in a series that presents a non-dogmatic approach to meditation that makes it accessible to anyone. If you ever wondered, "Can I do anything to make me and my dog healthier and happier?" this audiobook's for you.

The audiobook includes bonus meditation tracks so you can start your own meditation practice right away. Beautiful music, composed just for this book by the recording artist Niko scores three separate meditation tracks. The first track is 10 minutes long and features narration to help you establish your practice. The second track is 20 minutes long, with narration. When your practice is established, you can use the third, narration-free track to deepen your meditations.
