My first book on meditative practices...pretty good introduction!

Towards the late 80's, I began to take up a personal interest in meditation. The first book that came into my hands was this paperback book. As far as I am concerned, it gave me a pretty good introduction to the art & practice of meditation. It was packed with useful anecdotes. I even participated in a meditation retreat which stretched over three & a half days. I recalled vividly that, as soon as I had finished the session on a Sunday evening, I took a taxi to the airport, flew to Stockholm, Sweden, to attend a board meeting on Monday morning, flew back to Singapore on Monday night, & went back to the office on Wednesday morning. Amazingly, I was able to perform my professional duties without the attendant effects of jet lag because I had put what I had learned experientially from the meditation retreat to work. In the ensuing years, this book had, in many ways, led me to discover a lot of other good books of similar genre, which included 'Creative Visualisation' by Shakti Gawain, 'Moon Over Water: The Path of Meditation' by Jessica MacBeth, & 'Sun Over Mountain: A Course in Creative Imagination' by Jessica MacBeth.

This is an extremely powerful book

If you can get your hands on this book I strongly recommend it. The author goes into many different areas of mind exploration including healing yourself and others with your mind. All aspects of your life can be improved by "going within." This is a fantastic book that should be in print. This book has nothing in common whatsoever with the Celestine Prophecies which I did not care for.

Leaves something behind!

Power of alpha-thinking, what is that? That is why I read the book and also because it didnt seem that big. It is written in a very nice and easy language and it keeps you interrested most of the time. But it leaves something behind, a new idea and makes you think in general about your unexploited potencials. I have after I read the book done a litle bit of the practices described in the book and yes I feel differences, I really do, though not at all as dramatic as the book describes. A good read for the open minded! Regards, Arni

Very Informative

If you liked the Celestine Prophecy, then you will enjoy this book. It dives more into the science behind altered states of awareness with such things as biofeedback, but is not written like a technical manual or text book. I had no problem keeping my interest peaked througout. I chuckled to myself when I found that the author seemed intent on making the reader aware that he always found himself next to the prettiest woman in the room on several occasions. Regardless, it was very informative and an easy read.
