Imagine sitting on the floor with your legs crossed, your eyes closed, and in your hands are the paws of your dog, whose sitting in front of you. The two of you begin chanting, "Ommmmm, Ommmmm..."

Maybe that's not exactly what James Jacobsen might have you do. His new book, "How to Meditate With Your Dog: An Introduction to Meditation for Dog Lovers" will probably give you better advice.

Dog lover and life-long meditator, Jacobson and his dog Maui, introduce the simple, non-dogmatic meditation method that they have been using and teaching for over a decade. On Amazon.com, everyone who posted a review gave the book a perfect 5 stars.
