Product Description

Review

“…For a no–nonsense introduction and how–to instructions, pick up a copy of Meditation For Dummies by Stephan Bodian…” (Red, 1st September 2005) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

The popular guide–over 80,000 copies sold of the first edition–now revised and enhanced with an audio CD of guided meditations

According to Time magazine, over 15 million Americans now practice meditation regularly. It′s a great way to reduce stress, increase energy, and enjoy better health. This fun and easy guide has long been a favorite with meditation newcomers. And now it′s even better. For this new edition, author Stephan Bodian has added an audio CD with more than 70 minutes of guided meditations that are keyed to topics in the book, from tuning in to one′s body, transforming suffering, and replacing negative patterns to grounding oneself, consulting the guru within, and finding a peaceful place. The book also discusses the latest research on the health benefits of meditation, along with new advice on how to get the most out of meditation in today′s fast–paced world.

Stephan Bodian (Fairfax, CA and Sedona, AZ) is a licensed psychotherapist and the former editor–in–chief of Yoga Journal. He has written for Fitness, Alternative Medicine, Cooking Light, and Tricycle and is the coauthor of Buddhism For Dummies (0–7645–5359–3).

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, 3 April 2003
By N. Girard (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Meditation for Dummies (Paperback)
At last a book to suit my needs! I have bought many books on meditation. Most of them were too hard to understand or plain just too religious for me. I never intended to join any kind of religion, I just wanted to learn how to meditate. This is the perfect book for that. It explains the different currents, the different ways of meditating and the major difficulties that arise once started. Really a revealing book that answered all my questions and permits me to meditate without joining a monastery!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book for beginners, 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Meditation for Dummies (Paperback)
If you are new to meditation and want a book that tells you how - then this is it. It does not avoid the spiritual or historical background but it does concentrate on the practical issues of actually "doing" meditation. It also has enough information on various forms of meditation to enable you to decide for yourself what is best for you. You can then go to a more specialised book for further instruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful guide to basic meditation, 5 Feb 2002
By Gard Reian (Trondheim, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Meditation for Dummies (Paperback)
This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to learn more about basic meditation. In addition to guiding us through different methods of meditation step by step, Stephen Bodian also gives us a short summary of the history of meditation which is interesting and in the same time puts everything into context.

The book can also help you get past the difficulties you might encounter during mediation. All in all a great book.
