I finally finished this little book by David Pond "Llewellyn's Little Book of Meditation". I have to say, for this book being a "little book" it is packed with so much information. I had to read it in parts, let them settle in, and then go back to the book for a little more.

There are lots of meditations, from simple beginners to more advanced. I'll admit, some of this was over my head, and the further I got in the book, the some of the material got a bit harder for me to comprehend. If you are a beginner, you may want to get a supplemental material to use with it. If you are more advanced and have been working with meditating for more than a few weeks, then this may be all you need to get more focused in your practice.

I did enjoy the book, but felt I needed a stronger background on meditation to get the fullest benefit from the information.

I received an e-copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest opinion.

I can't wait to own this book and actually have it in my hands. It's full of wonderful things to help with meditation and pretty much all of them are easy to follow and do. Which is a huge plus! I love how small it is, it's perfect for on the go. I love reading and taking my books everywhere and this is perfect for that. The exercises are easy to follow and everything is easy to understand, the author writes very clearly, which I love. Overall, this book is wonderful!

Meditation is a practice that helps a person control their inner dialogue. Controlling your outer reactions by Controlling your inner dialogue is a good practice to understand. This doesn't mean that you do not defend yourself but that you contol your actions or reactions and choose your battles in life.

Good not great. I'm a beginner so it was a little overwhelming but there wasn't too much history so it wasn't too heavy. There were A LOT of exercises over various forms of meditation that were nice to read through

A clear and concise little book (quite literally - it's super easy to fit into your purse or even a pocket). I particularly appreciated the advice re: children. No new earth shattering concepts but a valuable resource to have at hand.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I learned a great many tips about meditation that has helped me so much. When stressors in your life start to affect your health and the way you live your life, it's time to do something about it. With this book you learn that you don't need to sit for an hour, trying to calm your mind. It explains the origin of meditation and the different types you can use. Because it's small, it can be taken with you in your bag or pocket. The author is more knowledgeable in this subject as no one else I know. Thank you Llewellyn and David Pond for allowing me to read such a great book for an honest review which this is.
