Why you should read Meditation for Dummies
Given the array of complex and confusing advice out there on meditation, Stephan Bodian’s clarity and reassuring tone are welcome. Many meditation texts are partisan and seek to advance one school or method of meditation over another. In contrast, Bodian is scrupulously fair and inclusive: He introduces multiple perspectives and approaches, all the while sharing his own experience. Offered in combination with an audio CD that guides listeners through 12 different types of meditation, this is an extremely approachable introduction to meditation. getAbstract recommends it to both meditation novices and advanced practitioners, all of whom will be able to dip into it for useful suggestions and information. If you like the user-friendly “Dummies” format, you'll find the sidebars, graphics, headers and short segments handy. If you seek only serenity, the pages might be a little too busy for your meditative frame of mind. So, absorb the information, close the book and close your eyes, which you're going to do anyway. Now, ommmm.
