You'll learn how relaxation, visualization, and regression can be used to release fears in a holistic way, strengthen the immune system, and alleviate chronic pain and illness, among other benefits. The practice of meditation also helps rid the mind of stress, intrusive thoughts, and the pressures of the world, opening you up to what's truly important.
The more you meditate, the further you move away from the level of everyday consciousness (encompassing frustration, anxiety, and worry), and the closer you draw to the higher perspective of enlightenment. As you progress along this path, it becomes easier to achieve increasingly higher levels of spirituality.

One of his clips was the most watched video on Facebook last year, with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 32 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos, which have amassed more than 5 billion views, and his podcast, ‘On Purpose', is consistently ranked the world's #1 health-related podcast.
In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing on ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us.
