"This is a wonderful introduction to relaxation and meditation - its
message offers peace and tranquillity in this stressful world"-- Joanna Lumley Described by one reviewer as "the best book on meditation I've ever read",
Relaxing into Meditation is an accessible guide to relaxation and meditation.
Relaxing into Meditation
begins with relaxation and breathing techniques specifically aimed at
creating relaxation of the body and calmness of mind before embarking
on meditation practices which may be more demanding. In this way it
provides a place where anyone can begin, without any prior experience.
Relaxation
techniques and breathing exercises enable us to be calmer human beings.
Through learning to quieten the breath and relax the body, we can
approach the circumstances of our lives in a calmer and more relaxed
manner. Discovering relaxation offers the opportunity to begin to
practise meditation
Meditation enables us to unravel unhelpful
emotional fixations. Our intellect can become clearer and more focused
through allowing the chatter of our minds to subside. We can discover
the nature of who we are at a deep and profound level through
meditative practice.
As well as explaining relaxation and meditation,
Relaxing Into Meditation also describes how to make aids to practice including various styles of cushion and a Tibetan sitting strap.
Relaxing into Meditation is illustrated throughout, showing the postures that are used in each of the practices.
