Destiny: Peter Russell, How to Meditate Without Even Trying

What if meditation didn’t require discipline, technique, or hours of sitting still but was actually something you looked forward to? In How to Meditate Without Even Trying, Peter Russell shares the liberating insight at the heart of his decades-long teaching: The harder we try to meditate, the more we get in our own way. True meditation is instead about the practice of allowing — releasing effort, relaxing the mind, and gently returning to the present moment. In clear and calming prose, Russell’s minimalist approach to meditation will help you: • cultivate presence without controlling your thoughts • let go of resistance, tension, and emotional discomfort • reclaim your natural inner calm — even in a noisy, busy world • integrate mindfulness into your daily life through mini- and micro-meditations • rediscover the practice as a source of joy, clarity, and deep contentment Rooted in both lived experience and timeless wisdom, this is a book to keep within arm’s reach — a call to stop striving and start being. Spiritual teacher Peter Russell earned degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science at the University of Cambridge in England. He studied meditation and Eastern philosophy in India and was one of the first people to introduce meditation to corporations. PeterRussell.com Become a supporter of this podcast: .
