Meditation isn't about chanting, crystals or playing with an eagle feather. It is a scientifically proven way of taking control of your life by taking control of your mind.

Meditation for Beginners
Learning how to meditate and developing a regular meditation practice doesn’t have to be difficult. Yes, meditation can seem difficult at first and learning how to take control of your mind can be a challenge, but meditating for only a few minutes a day can help you significantly reduce stress, improve your physical and mental health, maximize your ability to focus and increase productivity.
Buddhism teaches that taking control of your mind through meditation is the only real antidote to stress, anxiety and depression. Scientific studies have validated this and offer proof that meditation CAN in fact change brain chemistry and alter brain waves.
If your meditation efforts have been frustrating, don’t worry. Meditation for Beginners will help you overcome the common obstacles to developing a long term meditation habit.
Meditation is like riding a bike. You fall at first but eventually your ability to meditate becomes easier and your meditation practice becomes the most refreshing and life-giving part of your day.
Meditation for Beginners teaches you:
The science behind the amazing benefits of meditation How to meditate in a way that works for you How to create a meditating routine How to make meditation a habit How mindfulness meditation can help you become aware of the present moment How to make meditation the most important activity in your day How to provoke a meditative state How to create an ongoing state of inner peace and happiness How to find time to meditate Guided meditation Mantra meditation Mindfulness meditation Body scan meditation Candle meditation Walking meditation Prayer meditation ….and much more!
In a step by step way, Meditation for Beginners will walk you through everything you need to know about meditation and how to successfully meditate every day.
Here’s a Preview of What You’ll Learn...
What is meditation The history of meditation The benefits of meditation for the body The benefits of meditation for the mind How meditation works The healing power of meditation Common obstacles to meditation Types and elements of meditation How to prepare for meditation How to practice meditation every day

I selected this from the Amazon Prime library as a freebie/loan - it's very short. There are several pages at the beginning and end that are promotions for other products. Really - this is a good web page or wikipedia article about meditation.
This book offers a nice primer on meditation: the author discusses the benefits of meditation, different types of meditation, some tips on how to make the time and create a comfortable space for meditation.
One of the chief principles repeated throughout is the difference between your self/mind and your thoughts and reactions/actions. Meditation is a great practice to help clear the clutter (seems to be a theme in my reading lately) and allow you to let go of unproductive thoughts, feelings and other distractions so that you can make better decision, reduce stress and enjoy life more fully.
All excellent goals and there's simply no arguing with the content of this book, albeit a brief reminder/refresher of why one should meditate.

Simple, concise book to get you started on thinking about and practicing meditation. I enjoyed how quick the book was to read and the insights it gives you into the mind, stillness, and meditation. I took off a star because of poor editing.

Starters guide
This book is a great starters guide for those interested in meditation either because they are curious about it or because they are interested in meditating themselves. I personally read this book because I'm learning about Buddhism and everything that falls under its umbrella. Will definitely recommend this book.

Excellent introduction.
I have been meditating fairly regularly for a good long time now, but it was still helpful to read this book and be reminded of why and how. I like the fact that it recognizes Christian thinking as a valid part of meditation life, too. Not too long, but well written and very much worth reading. Highly recommended.

This was a good introduction to meditation for me. While, yes, it has a lot of information that could be found online, I liked the presentation. It goes over the basics of meditation, suggestions on how to get started, and some nice inspirational quotes. I knew nothing about meditation. This was a good bite sized introduction.It was really short. Each page had large margins, large print, and large spacing.

Welp, it does say "for beginners..." At 20 minutes, however, it's more of a pamphlet than a book. Gives a basic rationale, some different types of meditation, but not much in the way of "Do A, B, and C, and you're aiming for this." Pretty sketchy on details and I suppose it's intended more as an orientation than serious instruction. Freebie, at least.

really good guide
Really great meditation guide . Highlights common obstacles and the various types of meditation. But rather than just explaining the benefits this book actually explains how to meditate in a practical manner!

Good Intro and a Quick Read
I liked this quick read and intro to meditation. It does a good job of introducing some basic forms of meditation and some techniques. Couple this with some of the amazing meditation apps, and you can start today.

Great!
Great book. Good explanations and very informative. Easy to understand as someone who only had a limited knowledge on meditation. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the art of meditation.

Good for beginners but if you have any experience at all then this may not be the book for you, that being said it is still interesting and I did learn a couple of things from this short read

Very helpful overview of the purpose and process!
This is a practical guide to the meditation experience for someone who wants to get started on a regular practice of meditation. It seems like a simple thing to do, but having some clear guidance on the preparation and environment to facilitate the experience is so helpful for establishing a new habit, which this needs to be. Thank you for a quick read to start the process!

Chevan would have benefitted from an editor to catch grammatical and translation errors that distract the reader. However, I totally recommend this book for anyone who is curious about meditation but unsure if they’re the “right” type of person for it or how they should start. This is a concise, practical guide to the fundamentals, and from this text I can very easily research further into particular topics now that I have a basic understanding.

This is a good primer and a short concise book on meditation. The author discusses the benefits of meditation, the different types and some tips of how to start and where to meditate. It does not go into great detail but it was a good starting off point to now lead me to more detailed books. I found this to be helpful in this endeavor.

One page summary
Fortunately I read this for free from Unlimited Kindle. This book could have been summarized in 1-2 pages and provide the same amount of information. I'm sure a quick internet search will give you more information. If you can read it for free, might as well because it doesn't take long to read, but I wouldn't pay for it.

Learning New Things
So many simple concepts 1) being patient, 2) knowing the reason “why”, 3) posture, 4) making a priority, 5) breathing, 6) subduing chatter, and much more. Simple to understand, absolutely! Easy to master, no! Joy must be in the journey not in the accomplishment.

Great intro to meditation
Yesenia goes right back to basics to encourage the newbie (that would be me) to start and continue a meditation practice daily. Around information on the different styles of meditation practice very beneficial and will now try each of them to find my best fit. If you are new to meditation pick up this quick read!

This was a fairly good book for anyone who's considering adding meditation to their daily routine. It started with the benefits of meditation, discussed the various methods of meditating, and ended with practical ways of fitting meditation in your schedule.

Good reading
I enjoyed how easygoing and informative it was. What to do or pitfalls to avoid was simple and concise. I’m glad I did read it as it gave many suggestions on how to get started without getting too defeated in the beginning.

Very informative for the beginner
This book was very informative. She explains many aspects of meditation very well and in a way that is not complicated. It's short and sweet and to the point.

Good high level introduction
This was goodnight level discussion on meditation. Have me some thoughts to try and ideas to start. I think this would be good for someone interested in learning about meditation on a high level.

Great starting point.
This book is exactly what I needed. I am fairly new to meditation but I let my practice suffer due to new job and moving. This book reminded me what and how I should be practicing. I would recommend this book to anyone starting a new practice.

A great Accident
I have been trying to find a book on meditation and actually bought a few but this was exactly what I was looking for it really broke it down and was very helpful even though I’ve been meditating now for about 45 days.
