Meditation 24/7 cover
Meditation 24/7: Practices to Enlighten Every Moment of the Day
Book and CD by Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, Ph.D.
A professional opinion: I am a psychotherapist who understands the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual benefits of meditation. I recommend it to my clients frequently. Yet, personally, I have tried on many occasions to get into a regular practice of meditation, but find my mind so restless when I sit down, that I want to jump up again instantly. This book and CD makes the process so much easier and is the most refreshing and lively take on meditation I have ever encountered.  I just pop in the CD, forward it to the theme I want to meditate on (The Heart Warming Meditation is my personal favorite) and for 5-7 minutes I relax. Because the meditations are short, you can do them anytime of the day or night. Camille and Lorin make meditation seem like an extension of living, rather than a separate zone, impossible to reach. I have already given this book and CD as a birthday present to my favorite friends. I can’t imagine a better gift to give to those that I care about.” – Dr. Sheri Meyers Gantman, TV host of "Straight from the Heart"

Meditation Secrets for Women cover 
Meditation Secrets for Women: Discovering Your Passion, Pleasure, and Inner Peace
By Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, Ph.D.
From Publishers Weekly (*starred review*):"In this powerful book, the husband-wife team of Maurine and Roche explore the particular needs women have in meditation. They point out that most ancient meditation texts were meant for cloistered male monks living a celibate life, with meditation techniques used to "eradicate passion, emotion, and sexuality." Maurine and Roche find that women require precisely the opposite approach: an ability to use meditation to embrace their psyches including passion, emotion and sexuality... 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."

From a reader: “I would just like you to know that your book has made a wonderful difference in my life…Between being a busy wife, mother and owner of a flourishing graphic design business, I have found time to reclaim myself. Meditation has made a tremendous difference and it is now something I really look forward to when life challenges me… I relate to all that you say and use your meditations religiously. I never leave home without your book. It goes everywhere with me. Thank you for writing this for all women.” Ainslie in British Columbia
