by Patricia Monaghan and Eleanor G. Viereck
More than ever, people of all ages, backgrounds and traditions are becoming aware of the benefits of meditation.
Broad-based, yet addressing the specific needs of individuals, this completely revised and updated book offers information on 43 meditation practices. An easy-to-use self-test on personal habits and preferences directs readers in choosing a practice to fit their tastes and circumstances.
The authors describe all the major forms of Eastern and Western religious practices — from Christianity, Judaism and Islam to the traditions of India, Japan, China and Tibet. Readers can also explore techniques derived from Asian and African customs, or meditations found in life practices such as sports, gardening and creative arts.
The guide is designed for all — from the beginning meditator to the healing professional, with chapters on practices to heal the body, mind and spirit.
