A fine guide...offers arrays of delightful techniques into the world of relaxation & meditation..

Content-wise, this is exactly the same book as 'The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration & Meditation', also by Joel & Michelle Levey. The authors present eight simple, discrete techniques for identifying & releasing tension within the body & mind. They then move on to concentration, offering a dozen separate methods, including several deep-breathing exercises, designed to help one disregard distractions, stabilize the mind & bring one's full attention to bear on the object of concentration. They then outline more than thirty methods of meditation, from simply listening purposefully to one's surroundings to imagining that one's body is hollow. Finally, the authors round up the book with reflections on integrating all these techniques into everyday life and work. Many of the strategies found here are clear & concise, with step-by-step procedures. There is available a companion CD to go with the book, which readers can order from Earth View Productions. This book is definitely a fine guide.
