A handy meditation guidebook for finding peace amid everyday anxiety
There's a Meditation for That is not your typical meditation book. It's part emotional first aid kit, part real-life relief manual--designed to meet you in the middle of life's messiest moments.
This is not a "learn to meditate" book. It's a do-it-now book. A feel-it-in-your-body-right-now book. Because when something hits--when your chest tightens, your heart races, your stomach drops, or your mind spirals--you don't need a philosophy. You need a practice.
Born from the phrase wellness expert Lindsey Benoit O'Connell found herself repeating to friends and clients--"There's a meditation for that"--this book is built for the moments when your nervous system is flooded and your body is begging for calm. It's meditation as medicine, grounded in science and written with heart, offering practices that feel like a lifeline, not a luxury.
Meditation is personal. People come to it because something is happening: a breakup, burnout, anxiety, a need for clarity or simply a moment of peace. Most aren't looking for a generic practice--they're searching for something that works right now, for what they're actually feeling.
Each meditation here is crafted to meet a specific emotional or physiological state. Some are grounding, some energizing; some bring relief, others clarity. All work with your body's stress response, using breath, presence, and carefully chosen language to restore balance quickly.
Inside you will find:
- Targeted meditations for real-life moments: from breakups to burnout, parenting stress to panic spirals, insomnia to Sunday scaries
- Science-backed breakdowns of what's happening in the brain and body during these moments
- Personalized relief tools rooted in neuroscience, mindfulness, and breathwork that offer immediate support
A toolkit, not a textbook--There's a Meditation for That offers page after page of practices to return you to yourself, again and again.
