Customer Reviews

Excellent, comprehensive, easy to follow...

I read "The Meditation Handbook" (Gyatso) before this and felt thoroughtly confused by the excessive Buddist philosophy and religious emphasis in that book.This book, by Paul Roland, has great pictures, is comprehensive, easy to follow, and easy to read. Any child or adult would find this book useful. It's definately a beginner's introduction to meditation, but also covers chakras, meditation settings, creative visualization, color therapy, using mantras, and contains numerous exercises! It's a terrific overview of meditation and related topics which will allow the reader to choose what other aspects they want to pursue after reading this book. Highly recommended!

A very good and concise introductory meditation book

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.

the easy illustrated meditation book for beginners

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.
