How to Meditate: An Illustrated Guide to Calming the Mind and Relaxing the Body
Product Description
Practiced throughout the world for thousands of years, meditation has become increasingly popular. Today, everyone from holistic healers and spiritual teachers to overworked mothers, stressed-out students, and caffeinated businesspeople are taking the time to engage in mindful contemplation. Harnessing the power of meditation – or mind training – offers many benefits both mental and physical. How to Meditate uses a friendly, heavily illustrated approach to make an activity that is both art and science easily comprehensible and infinitely practical. Author Paul Roland describes a full range of strategies and activities, including basic relaxation, breathing techniques, creating a personal sanctuary, visualization, activating the chakras with color, and using affirmations and mantras to help invoke the meditative state.

This book is such a find if looking for a valuable resource on all there is to know about meditation. The author writes of his own experiences, as well as different approaches to meditation and visualizations. There are a myriad of different types of meditations offered in the book, in addition to a plethora of knowledge and tools.
This book is my first meditation book and gave me a general idea about meditation with plenty of beautiful illustrations which helped me practice the meditation on the book. The breathing technique decreased the tension of my mind at my first attempt of it. Especially, I like the sections of visualization, positive thinking, and affirmation on the book. I had gotten stuck in a negative thinking pattern for a long time. By the meditation practice of visualization and affirmation, I am getting released from my negative thinking pattern which tormented me for such a long time. I am sure that the book will help you be freed from your negative thoughts or problems. You will enjoy the real freedom of your mind at last.
I have been doing transcendental meditation regularly for two years. I happened to see this book in a Natural Wonder’s store. I sat down and read the first couple of chapters and was very impressed. I wish I had read it before getting into meditation. But even now it is very helpful and informative. The book is straightforward and does a good job in covering many different topics.
