Format:Paperback
Bill Anderton writes a clear and concise guide to meditation for beginners. Rather than launching into meditation practice, he firstly takes the reader through a journey of the history of meditation practices throughout the ages, focussing on a number of religions and trends. This helps the reader to understand what meditation is all about. Plus, at regular intervals, Anderton then gives small exercises gleaned from these observation for the reader to practice, and which eases the reader into the more complex meditative practices later in the book. Anderton focuses more on the guided imagery form of meditation, suggesting a number of techniques and excercises for the reader to use. As a beginner myself, I found this book very usful and almost a relief! Other material I have read makes meditation sound so complicated. Anderton , however, states clearly that if you work too hard towards achieving the meditative state then it won't work! The art of meditation should be simple and easy, and the exercises in this book certainly make it so.
