DON'T HATE, MEDITATE!

Meditation instructor and Deepak Chopra protégé 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? 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.

Monahan is uniquely positioned in the meditation space because she is a millennial who has been practicing and teaching for ten years with the likes of Deepak Chopra; whereas most practitioners with that level of experience are older and more traditional. Her voice really captures the ethos of a younger group who is looking to add meditation to their overall lifestyle. In addition to the themed meditations, the book also includes quizzes and breakout sections such as "Mantra Meditation, Your Ride or Die", "Spice Girls Wisdom", and "Spiritual Duraflames".

MEGAN MONAHAN has been practicing and teaching Vedic Meditation since 2009. She began her study and work in meditation with Deepak Chopra and continues to partner and share the stage with him as a host and teacher at his events several times a year. In addition to reaching thousands through her classes she has also spoken around the world as one of only a handful of Lululemon ambassadors that specializes exclusively in meditation. Megan's meditation recordings have been shared internationally through multiple media platforms like Wanderlust TV and with apps like Unplug Meditation. She is the founding meditation instructor for the groundbreaking, millennial-driven Mend app and helps produce The Shine LA. Megan's brand partnerships and collaborations also include Unplug Meditation, Rocnation, and Athleta. She writes for and is featured in LA Yoga Magazine and has been featured online in print and video for Origins, Beaming, Sticky Be Socks, Equinox, Be The Career Change, and Spiritual Gangster, among others.
