A message from the author:
I wrote Bliss More to help people like you find happiness where it truly resides—within.
More than that, I wanted to show you, the reader, how to access your bliss using a time-tested (yet counter-intuitive) approach to meditation that happens to not only be incredibly effective, but easy and even enjoyable... hence, the subtitle, How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying (this is not hyperbole. I literally mean you will learn how to meditate without feeling like you need to force anything to happen).
There's so much confusion around the practice of meditation, and the goal of Bliss More is to cut through a lot of the misconceptions and B.S. that makes meditation feel unnecessarily "H.A.R.D."
Once you start reading Bliss More, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how accessible meditation can actually be and how relevant of a practice it is for everyone—especially for busy people with busy minds.
You may not have realized this, but most meditation books aren't written by meditation teachers. They have been written by doctors, psychologists, monks, motivational speakers, internet marketers, yogis, researchers, or celebrities who have spent a few years meditating. But very few books have been written by people who have spent their days, months, and years teaching regular people (non-monks) how to meditate with ease and how to track their progress over years and years.
My history as one of the most effective and experienced meditation teachers (of thousands of regular people like you) makes me uniquely qualified to spread this message of how to bring more bliss into your meditation and life, and I can't wait to share it with you!
I'm positive that you'll find it to be a most useful tool for starting or refining your meditation practice.
Namaste,
Light

Bliss More FAQs
How am I supposed to experience the Settling Sound?
The Settling Sound should be experienced mentally only. You do not need to sync it with your breath. Just think it to yourself in a relaxed manner, no focus required. You can listen to how Light recommends experiencing it below (it's best to listen with headphones):
Additionally, enroll in the free 21-Day challenge to get more instructions for using the Settling Sound and optimizing your meditation experiences.
Should I listen to music or white noise while meditating?
If you prefer to, but it’s not necessary or recommended.
What’s the minimum amount of time I should meditate?
No less than 15 minutes, once a day, and no more than 20 minutes, twice a day.
Is the E.A.S.Y. approach the same as Vedic or Transcendental Meditation?
No, not even close. Some of the principles are similar, but VM and TM can only be taught in person (because you receive a personalized mantra, which can’t be given through a book), as well as personalized instruction and ongoing support with your teacher, which is the most important component for mastering meditation. Plus, there are many aspects of those techniques that don’t translate well in book form, so they were excluded from Bliss More.
What does Light think of Calm and Headspace or some other style of meditating?
Light is a fan of all forms of meditating that people enjoy doing. If you don’t enjoy doing them, then try something else until you find something you enjoy. Err on the side of keeping it simple though. The more stuff you add to your practice, the more difficult it will be to maintain consistency, and the goal is to be as consistent as possible.
What if I have questions about my meditation practice or experiences that occur in and around the practice?
Unfortunately, Light can not provide answers about your meditation experiences without you first completing a comprehensive meditation assessment. There are many factors that can effect your meditation experiences (from diet, to lifestyle, to approach), and without a proper assessment, Light can not provide you with competent answers (and no one else can either). Your assessment can be completed here in about 10-15 minutes, and there is a $108 exchange for Light to review your assessment and provide you with answers to your questions. Alternatively, for $20/mo, you can join Light’s online support group for Bliss More readers called The Shala and get your meditation questions answered directly by Light on a weekly basis (and cancel anytime). Get information on The Shala here.
What’s the best way to get free support?
Sign up for our 21-Day Meditation Challenge and you’ll get a better understanding of the E.A.S.Y. approach as you go through the challenge.
Do I need to have a copy of Bliss More to do the challenge?
The challenge is built around the book, so yes. And in order to register, you will need to upload proof of receipt.
How can I purchase bulk orders of Bliss More?
Go to 800ceoread for bulk orders.
What’s the best way to continue supporting Light or Bliss More?
Tell friends, leave an Amazon review, or purchase copies of Bliss More for others on Amazon.
I would like to learn meditation from Light Watkins in person. How can I do that?
Go to beginmeditating.com and you can find Light’s in-person teaching options and information on retreats there.

Thousands of people have already used this 21-Day Bliss More Challenge to solidify a daily meditation practice. Here is what they’re saying:
“Light breaks down the barriers to a practice. He makes learning it a simple and self actualized process that is E.A.S.Y., enlightening, and fun.” — Leslie Montano
“Light has a keen, innate sense of ‘pain points’ that new meditators experience. He articulates the ‘excuses’ or ‘pain points’ very well and equally addresses them with graceful and easy to implement solutions.” — TLP

21-Day Challenge FAQs
What to do if I don’t get the email with the ‘Start’ button?
Once you sign up, you will receive two emails—one confirming that you signed up (the subject is “The Bliss More Meditation Challenge 2.0”). And the other (subject: “Welcome to the 21-Day Bliss More Meditation Challenge”) is your ‘Start’ email. The Start email should arrive in your inbox within a few minutes of submitting your form and receiving your confirmation email. So if you don’t see it there after 10 minutes, check your SPAM folder and Promotions tab. If you still don’t get either of the emails, then it’s possible you signed up with the wrong email, so we recommend re-registering above. If you get the confirmation email, then the Start email is on its way.
How can I do the challenge with my co-workers or friends?
Once everyone registers and receives their Start emails, then just have everyone click the “Start button” in the Start email on the same day, and everyone will begin the challenge at the same time.
Is it possible to receive the challenges earlier? I am on GMT+1 time and would love to receive the emails at 6 am.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
I was wondering if I could change the email that was entered on my entry form for the 21 day challenge? It is currently going to ..., which is my work email. Would you please update it to this email please,...
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The best option would be to sign up with another email and start over.
I'm going to do the 21-day challenge, however, I'm not comfortable with posting my progress on social media. Can I email Light my accountability photos directly?
This is not necessary. You don’t have to post anything to complete the challenge.
