Customer Reviews

A first-rate primer for meditation

For those new to the subject, this is a thorough orientation to the true purpose and value of meditation. It provides scientific, historical and cultural background to many metaphysical processes; in addition, the author shares enough of his personal experiences to provide credibility but always focuses on practical application of his words to the reader. The written content is complemented by beautiful photographs that demonstrate the author's message from another perspective. The CD that comes with the book is a bonus - and a very good starting point for regular meditation. I have read a number of publications on meditation and related subjects and feel this one provides the most "value". Tracey, Canada

A Great Find

What a great find this book and cd was last year. Having read many books over the years explaining meditation techniques, finally I was reading one that just resonated with me so beautifully. I can quite honestly say that my meditation practice just gets better and better and my friends and family have all been lucky recipients of a copy too!

Meditation with style

I have read many meditation books over the last 30 years, since I first became interested in the subject. None has been so inspirational as Stephen Austen's book which introduces additional aspects of the subject which other authors tend to leave out. The writing style is straightforward but highly informative and leads the reader thoughtfully through all the subject areas. The fact that a CD is included helps to remove and diminish the mystery of this subject to many and provides one with an immediate and useful tool plus a link with the author. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to both the newcomer to the subject and to the experienced meditator.

A Great Guide To Meditation

This is one of the most inspiring meditation books that I have read. It is so clearly presented, that not only is it a "must" for those who haven't practiced meditation before, but a renewed source of inspiration for those who are already familiar with the benefits which meditation can bring. The step by step guidance allows the reader to progress at his or her own pace, which is particularly helpful. As well as describing the various meditation techniques, the author also explains in detail the positive effects they have on the health of the body. The lovely illustrations and helpful CD make this book excellent value for money.
