Since its relatively recent introduction to the Western world, the Eastern art of meditation has become an increasingly popular and well-respected method for physical relaxation and spiritual restoration. Teach Yourself Meditation introduces you to the theory and practice of meditation and includes related websites, new trends, personal spiritual stories, and an expanded bibliography.
A comprehensive introduction to the world of meditation. I unfortunately did not get much from the book, the only noteworthy piece was a brief aside on meditation and the brain / neuroscience. Otherwise the book was pretty lacking in unique or developed ideas. Still worth a read for someone looking to begin their spiritual journey.
