Meditation is
widely accepted as a method to reduce mental
tensions and achieve inner peace and tranquility,
leading to spiritual growth. In this book, various
techniques are presented in easy step-by-step
procedures, starting with simple techniques that can
be practiced for just a few minutes.
The benefits are
clearly described so that the practitioner can track
his or her progress. The best traditions of
meditation in India are presented so that modern
folk with limited background of yoga and Indian
philosophy can follow the steps. One can learn these
techniques without a personal instructor. A detailed
chapter on chakras and Kundalini yoga is valuable
for serious meditators. The Buddhist meditations,
widely used in the west and meant for awakening
inner joy, are described in a separate chapter.
Creative visualization - a meditational technique to
achieve practical goals in business life - is
described. The book dispels common doubts about the
efficacy of meditation and guides and motivates the
reader towards the best meditation practices.
