Critic Reviews

"Joy Rains has a gift. A gift for explaining abstract concepts like meditation through clever analogies and metaphors. For the first time in my hectic, harried life I actually UNDERSTAND how meditation is supposed to work and why I should give it a try! This book is fabulously basic yet beautifully profound. I was skeptical that I could learn something like meditation by listening to an audiobook. I thought surely I’d need a guru, a sage, to meet with me in person and show me the way. WRONG! Joy is that person, one of the most sought-after meditation coaches in the country...now available to you and me! Listen to Meditation Illuminated and let her guide you - with wisdom and humor - toward a less cluttered, chaotic mind." (Elisabeth Leamy, columnist, The Washington Post)
