R. Randall Schroeder - In 1973, I started searching for answers. I have worked with therapists, studied traditional religion and Science of Mind, done intensive trainings, retreats, and at least 75 various self-help classes. I was the director a holistic clinic in Southern California - the Solana Center for Total Health. I've practiced a variety of teachings and therapies there, including yoga, rebirthing, acupuncture, nutritional counseling, psychic counseling, dream interpretation, astrology, and hypnosis. I've attended hundreds of lectures, read hundreds of books about health, wellness and self-improvement. All of these things have been valuable. Everything I have done has helped me move closer to the truth. The one thing that has stayed with me was meditation, and particularly, one style of meditation – the Q&A style. Most meditation is geared toward relaxation and reconnection with the soul, which is extremely valuable, but the Q&A version takes the individual to another level by using that connection to learn, grow and get answers to questions. One of my favorite teachers, Chet Castellaw, said, “The best teachings are those that turn us back to ourselves.” I also believe this is true and my book, Meditation Q&A, does that very well. I believe that when we search outside ourselves, we often come up short and still feel lost. When we search from within, we find peace, clarity and truth.
