Zusammenfassung
A guided journey into authentic mediation-too often surrounded by myth and unwarranted mysticism-for novices and experienced meditators alike There are many books on meditation, even books on how to speed up the process and learn to meditate in 15 minutes-the opposite of what meditation is trying to achieve. Here, Yogi Brahmasamhara teaches the reader ways of letting go of the barriers of the &quote;ordinary,&quote; to enable all who practice to unveil an awakened, naturally exhilarating engagement with life. This is a book that teaches true meditation comprehensively. There are exercises on letting go of tension, natural breathing, and stilling the mind. The author enables the practicing seeker to go far beyond these core essences to a quite profound understanding of the wisdom of authentic meditation, and to a serene space of tranquility and stillness of being. Written in a warm, gentle manner, this is a book to read and reread.
