the book that began my life

a few weeks ago i just happened to be looking for a book to tell me something about meditation. this was the first one i grabbed off the shelf, and the moment i started to read the back cover i could feel this was the one for me. osho presents methods that are imediately inpacting and easy to understand. he speaks in a language of feeling that everyone can understand. i'm still shocked that whenever i read through a few sentences in this book i'll find myself getting tears in my eyes because i know this is what it's all about. finally acknowledgement. finally appreciation. and it turns out we had it all along

A must have for every human being

Its hard to utter words about the significance of this book. It is a diamond in an ocean of mud. It is the key to life, if this was a high scool requirenment, the world would be a paradise.No doubt Osho knows what he is talking about, and if it is meditation one in seeking, then this is the book!

Down-to-earth and practical, a refreshing change.

So many books on meditation seem so serious, or one-dimensional, pitching a specific point of view or practice that feels like it was designed for saints who don't need meditation in the first place. This one even tells you how to turn smoking into a meditation! A book for "real folks" who want to bring more joy into all aspects of their lives.

Active Meditations - the future of exercises

I was one of the people who didn't consider themselfs as a spiritual or meditative person. When I got this book a s birthday present I could not stop reading for a moment. There are also beautifull music CD's in the market which help to do these active meditations. A must for every meditator.

Few book titles so accurately reflect the contents.

This book is perhaps the best introduction to meditation on the market. It takes meditation out the area of religion and all the doo doo associated with it, and puts it right at the center of a science of the inner, exactly where it belongs. For the intelligent individual who doesn't want to be lumbered with yet another belief system, this is their book.
