(Teach Yourself)

From man`s earliest recorded history meditation has been the key technique in his search for higher consciousness and, as such, plays a vital role in Buddhism, Taoism, Sufism and other Eastern religions.James Hewitt gives here a clear, concise and practical guide to meditation as practised in both East and West. He is not solely concerned with one tradition or school but explores the different methods of meditation and encourages you to experiment to find the one that suits you best.Quite apart from the metaphysical claims of the tradition, the value of meditation as a mental hygiene, including relaxation and serenity, is well attested. Most Westerners take up meditation to improve their physical and mental health because it releases stress and induces a state of deep rest and relaxation different from and superior in many ways to sleep.The practice of meditation as outlined here will help you to maintain physical health and mental clarity and equanimity.
