Format:Paperback
This book presents it's self as more of a picture book rather than a guide on how to meditate. It would be good for those who are intrested, but not practicing meditation. There are some handy hints in there.

Some good ideas but missing.....
11 April 2000
Format:Paperback
As a relative beginner in the world of meditation I found some interesting techniques in this book. However, it lacked specific examples or instructions as to how to impliment the techniques. The book also has a pretty useless section discussing colors and what they say about you. Overall though for the price I think this is a decent book to complement other materials and personal instruction.

A great beginners book
19 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is a great for those who are new to meditation and want to start immediately. After a few minutes of reading this book, the reader can begin to meditate.
The book first explains the reasons why people meditate and gives some tips to get the most out of meditation ( i.e. keep a journal ). The book then explains how to meditate by using correct posture and breathing techniques. The next few sections then gives the reader ideas on what to focus on or what to think about when meditating such as symbols and imagery. There is also a section on the importance of colors and how different colors can invoke emotions. The rest of book then gives tips on how meditation can affect your life by producing change and reduce stress. Overall, this book is incredibly valuable and there is no reason not to get it considering its price.
Thanks to this book, I meditate at least 5 minutes a day when I wake up. It also provides me with ideas on what I can meditate on.

Helpful Overview of Meditation
21 July 2004
Format:Paperback
101 Essential Tips for Everyday Meditation make Meditation much less mysterious and much more appealing. Through step-by-step guides you can find quick answers to your meditation questions.
The main areas of the book:
Why Meditate?
First Steps in Meditations
Symbols & Imagery
Not Thinking at All
Meditating with Colors
Awareness in Every Moment
Outer & Inner Well-Being
Meditating on the World
Living Through Meditations
Life Changes
I love the colorful photographs brightening up the pages. This guide takes you from the most basic forms of this ancient discipline and then enhances your practice through more advanced techniques, like focusing on an ethereal blue butterfly in your mind or visualizing calming ocean waves breaking on a shore. I had never really thought about meditating with colors, but have visualized colors during a Chakra segment in a Yoga workout and it really does help you relax.
There are a few highly creative ways to relax and many of them focus on your inner world and how you can create a peaceful retreat inside your own mind, anyplace, anytime. A short discussion about living in the moment, diet changes and lifestyle choices completes this tiny book of bite-size pointers.
