HarperSanFrancisco, 2001
FINALLY, A FEMALE-CENTERED APPROACH!
"In this powerful book, the husband-wife team of Maurine and Roche explore the particular needs women have in meditation...With tips, exercises, meditations, reflections and other women's stories, Maurine and Roche share enthusiastically and thoroughly what they have found works for women, leaving the dry legalisms behind...This is an excellent, empowering resource for novices, as well as for those who have spent a lifetime meditating." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Wise, wonderful and revolutionary. It returns the whole human being to joy, restorative serenity, and embodied, psychological and spiritual expansiveness." Sylvia Perera, author of Descent to the Goddess.
"Women's meditation insights and needs are very different from the traditional methods used for centuries by men in monasteries. Meditation Secrets for Women teaches you how to meditate with full access to the emotions and body wisdom that are a part of the divine." Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

MEDITATION 24/7
Practices to Enlighten Every Moment of the Day
By CAMILLE MAURINE & LORIN ROCHE, PH.D.
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2004
"Bravo! MEDITATION 24/7 is an amazing reflection of years of study - succinct yet creative. This is exactly what people need in this crazy stressed out world. The book is so appealing, personal, and accessible. It is packed with "doable" user-friendly gems of insight, wisdom, and suggestions. Thank you for your devotion to this topic." - Dr. Pamela Hogan, counseling psychologist
Check out our new little book, MEDITATION 24/7: Practices to Enlighten Every Moment of the Day, from Andrews McMeel Publishing! We're jazzed about this project, which includes an audio CD of us guiding the practices, supported by the marvelous music of composer Charles Bernstein. We love to do these meditations ourselves and find that they make an enormous difference in our experience throughout the day and night. A few minutes of these brief, effective practices helps you to create the quality of awareness you want to live and breathe in.
"I listen to MEDITATION 24/7 like I would a beautiful score for my favorite movie. No need to sit at attention or announce, "I am now going to meditate." Effortlessly, I immerse into the inviting pulse and soothing message to find myself instantly connected to my innate inner rhythm. I am alive and content! What a poignant reminder!" - Ilene Segalove, Author of best selling List Your Self

You can find the book in your local bookstore, or order it now from AMAZON. Praise the Internet! Even those of you living far, far away can have immediate access - miraculous, if you ask me.
Meditation 24/7, in a word, is expansive. When listening to it, I found myself immediately transported and beginning to open up. I began to give myself permission to experience some very profound elements of peace and rest. With this came a rush of emotions that were set free. I felt a deliverance and even more profound tranquility.
There is a wonderful aspect of adventure and travel that takes place with 24/7. Lorin & Camille become your tour guides, giving succinct directions and maps in mellifluous speaking tones. You find yourself travelling in a friendly, beautiful, sensuous and amazing universe that you create together.
Practically speaking, 24/7 is a refresher course in reminding us who we truly are, and gives us a tool to explore this potential while approaching our daily activities in a conscious, delighted and peaceful way.
It is a gift we give to ourselves and the Earth. I highly recommend this book and CD for anyone of any age.
24/7 is like an emotional and spiritual shower. After listening to it, you feel cleaned, refreshed and ready to fly...
