Introduction to diff types

This book would be good for someone who is curious about meditation and confused about all the different things they hear. there is a quiz to determine what KIND of meditator you are that I think would be relieving for people who have scary thoughts about meditation. It covers trance dancing, drumming, shamanic journeying, yoga asanas and yoga breathing, mantras to show you meditation need not be boring ! But it also covers gardening, crafts,nature , walking meditations, creative visualizations. Also covers Prayer, Taoism, Buddhism, Zen, tantrism and Islam meditations. So things that a beginner would not think of as a type of meditation can see that there are lots of ways to meditate !!! MUST for someone who says "But I can't meditate ! "

Excellent

This is a great book. Brand new on the market, and just what's needed. It gives a great overview of meditation, and doesn't force you to think there's only ONE way of meditating (which there isn't). I saw an advance copy of this book, and just loved it. Will DEFINITELY recommend it to my customers, and I'm proud to have it on my shelves.
