Great knowledge

Give you great little tidbits into how/why energy works. For example long hair draws up more energy into the head area (badly paraphrasing). I recommend it to those to have received a curveball from life and need to understand energies, life, and overall insight into things.

Excellent guide to a deeper understanding of meditation

Awaken to Superconsciousness gives a fresh and insightful introduction to the art of meditation. It's especially inspiring for those who already have a meditation practice and would like to go into it more deeply. Covers the key ingredients of meditation which many people don't understand--how to focus the mind, how to attune to the inner silence, the importance of energy, magnetism, and devotion. It includes about a dozen helpful guided meditations.

More than a guide to meditation--a guide to life!

I've been meditating and studying yoga for many years and thought I knew a lot until I read this book. This book grows on you--it's so full of practical ways to use meditation to improve your life, that you begin to take it for granted. If you want to know how to live like a master amidst the swirling vortices of life's ups and downs, this is the book that has the answers.

Best Non-Sectarian Approach to Meditation I've Ever Seen

If you're a yogi, a meditator, agnostic, even an atheist- I think you'll be helped by this book. I was. Walters shares very simple meditation techniques that work. This approach has been tried and tested for thousands of years- it's all basic yoga meditation, presented in a way that Westerners can understand. If I could 'get it' from this book, then anyone can!

We recommend this book to our customers

I work at the sales desk of the leading metaphysical book store in the San Francisco area, where I'm continually asked to recommend beginning books on meditation. For myself, I unhesitatingly give "Awaken to Superconsciousness" my unreserved recommendation. For these reasons:It's the least sectarian approach I've seen, thus it appeals to the widest section of readers. Unlike Tibetan, Zen, and Middle Eastern teachings, it isn't colored by centuries of priestly tradition. Yet it "goes back to the source"--and its very bedrock purity makes it "user-friendly" to Western sensibilities.It's very practical, because it's based on how our bodies are made. Paramhansa Yogananda said, "At the inner end of the nervous system, the mind, interiorized, communes with the soul." This book teaches the art and science of patiently calming the breath and mind so that we can use our own nervous system to commune with the healing inner peace and joy. For my money, you won't find a better guide. (I've meditated for 30 years, and I learn something new from this book every time I open it.)
