review 1: I really enjoyed this one. A lot of great insight and inspiration as well as different types of meditation so you can "mix it up" and keep your practice fresh. I'm still new at this whole thing and this really helped me understand the whys and hows as well as giving me tools to keep my kind from wandering and how to not beat myself up when my mind wanders. I especially love the Lovingkindness Meditation and can honestly say it's made an immediate difference in my overall well being not to mention my enjoyment of my meditation practice. A great book for beginners and from what I've heard, meditators in general. Highly recommended. (Also highly recommend meditation. I was a skeptic but I'm now a believer!)
review 2: Great books with a variety of meditation techni... moreques without the religious aspect. For beginners, a book did a good job of introducing the benefits of meditation and the techniques themselves in a straightforward and nonthreatening style. For example, one of the most common form of meditation is to pay attention the breath. She made clear that everyone who meditates, no matter who seasoned, get distracted. The key of this meditation is to bring attention back again and again. It's the moment that your mind wonders and you bring your attention back to the breath that is the practice, not how long you can keep your attention on your breath. I find that really comforting and knowing that bit of advice, I have a better time doing breathing meditation now.I also love the way she introduces loving-kindness meditation, which I wasn't sure how to do before despite reading several other guides. Overall, this book provides a good variety of meditation techniques for you to try and switch around. At the same, it goes in depth just enough for the main techniques provided so that can have a clearer view of how to practice. less
