I highly recommend Magical Keys. Read it. Read it again. Underline and highlight. Give copies to anyone you care about at all. But the most crucial point - do explore meditation for yourself.

"The content is the best about meditation I have ever read."

“Thank you, Yanni, for your wonderful gift of Magical Keys to Self-Mastery - to me and to the world!

The content is the best about meditation I have ever read. There is so much heavy and heady stuff out there about meditation, and your approach is refreshingly different.

I love its simplicity and clarity. The reader finds a convincing logic for the need to still and master the busy mind in order to find the peace in which we can live life more fully.

 
And the meditations you give make it simple and attractive to learn how to listen to a different, deeper truth, whispered in the wisdom of our own heart, the Self, where miracles find their origin - if only we were to listen!

What an amazing idea, as well, to start meditation with very young children.

This creates a space within them in which they are allowed to stay in connection with their unique, personal truth, the joyful, creative truth that brought them to join us on this planet.  It will be a blessing for humanity when this concept, this seed you planted, will slowly expand into human consciousness.”

"The author guides us for the long haul in this wise and wonderful book. "

"Self-help books abound in bookstores and libraries. In each, the tone is different. Some are straightforward with good practical advice. Others are quite strident and offer tips, perhaps, that are invaluable to the writer but do nothing for the reader. If what you are looking for is straightforward info with a gentle tone, you should turn to Yanni Maniates' Magical Keys to Self Mastery: Creating Miracles in Your Life.

The stress of everyday living does not offer anyone much time for self reflection. The time we spend reading a book that is meant to improve our circumstances should offer insight to finding our true selves not the ones we offer to the world. We all need a plan--a road map, in essence to finding who we really are. The mission might be perilous; but the author guides us for the long haul in this wise and wonderful book.

I found Chapters 3 and 6 to be most on the mark. Chapter 3 offers information on “Using Meditation to Relax and Manage Stress.” We all know when we are under extreme stress. Yanni explains the effects stress has upon us. He offers good ways to help us relax.

Parents will welcome the methods Yanni cites in Chapter 6 "Meditating with Your Children: Relaxation, Communication and Quality, Time for your Family." We all know about the terrible two’s and three’s, but what about the period of adolescence? These growing cycles cause great anxiety and frustration in a family. Having concrete methods to cope will make the problems easier to solve.

Magical Keys is not a book you can give the once over. It is a reference tool for all those tough times when the answers to life's most difficult problems seem impossible. It's a good read on a not-too-stressful day, too. "
