Laughter, Tears, Silence: Expressive Meditations to Calm Your Mind and Open Your Heart

April 14, 2012

Book review

Dove’s synthesis meets the needs of contemporary life with attention to the full range of human experience and reverence for the peace and joy possible in every moment.

by Pragito Dove

Using the principles she teaches, Dove transformed her fear and grief into joy and inner peace. Her accessible, innovative methods allow you to reap the benefits of meditation in 30 seconds, four minutes or 24 hours, wherever you are and whenever you need a moment of calm.

Emphasizing expression of emotion, rather than repression, these dynamic practices can begin with a variety of movements and sounds, or with silence. Meeting practitioners where they are — in sadness, fear, stress, anger or joy — the techniques can be done in the midst of work, play and home life, either alone or with others.

Drawing on such traditions as Sufism and Buddhism and such teachers as the 20th century mystics Osho and Gurdjieff, Dove’s synthesis meets the needs of contemporary life with attention to the full range of human experience and reverence for the peace and joy possible in every moment.
