Mindell applies Process Work insights to meditation

In Working On Yourself Alone, Arnold Mindell applies the insights from Process-Oriented Psychology to meditation and personal awareness. You will find him drawing heavily on Eastern traditions and wisdom, as he makes the case that through following our own inner process we can discover our natural meditation practice that will at times include proprioceptive (body) work, auditory focus, artwork, breathing, etc. I found the book very practically useful both as a student of meditation and as a student of process work. I liked it because it gave me insight into HOW TO burn my wood and trusting my own process (even becoming conscious of what wood there is for me to burn). In contrast to Leader as Martial Artist or Sitting in the Fire, Working on Yourself Alone focuses much more narrowly on personal applications of PW.
