Meditation is a practice that calms the mind and the body in a natural way. Its aim is to quiet or still the mind, which leads to calm awareness without the interference of troublesome thoughts. Meditation can help you focus, relax, and cope with life's twists and turns. Meditation, Plain & Simple is a wise and helpful primer to the practice of meditation. Lynne Lauren not only explains why it is important to meditate, but also demonstrates how simple meditation is for the average person. It can be done anywhere by anyone, and you don't have to sit on the floor or stand on your head. In addition, she provides a brief overview of the different types of meditation along with more than 50 meditations and visualizations that can be used in different circumstances to reach particular goals. This book is a lovely introduction for anyone who wishes to slow down, de-stress, and discover how rich life can be!
It was an okay read. It's more practical, which isn't wrong but not exactly what I was looking for, to be honest. I wanted more of an introduction into meditation. I've been doing this for a few months now, and I have to say that it takes so much time to get used to one approach, and dumping millions of approaches into one small book doesn't really help much. At least, in my opinion. I think it's best to choose one approach and build the book around that. I get that the book is supposed to be general. It was everything but.
This book is heavy on visualisations, which is OK, just not what I expected. The three stars were lost for claiming that meditation can help cure cancer and having very limited information on astral projection, but if you are willing to ignore these, it's OK.
