“To tell you the truth, you can learn the basics of meditation in five minutes,” asserts Stephan Bodian, meditation instructor, psychotherapist, and former editor-in-chief of Yoga Journal. You can also study meditation for years, exploring its subtleties. Meditation for Dummies is a simple, clear introduction to the basics of meditation, including an overview of dozens of techniques, practices, and specific meditations, plus direction for going deeper. You get step-by-step instructions for a variety of meditations, including body position, mental concentration, where to put your attention, what to contemplate or notice, physical movements, and breathing. A nice touch is the recurring “traditional wisdom”: ancient stories or anecdotes that make a point. This book is useful whether you want the nuts and bolts for getting started in the next minute or you want to dip your mind into different practices and philosophies. Nothing is too elementary to explain: “how to sit up straight–and live to tell about it,” what to wear, dealing with fear and self-judgment, and what to do when you get “stuck.” You also get plenty of information about the benefits and varieties of meditation. You’re bound find and develop a practice that feels right for you. –Joan Price

“Focus on a memory of love” to realize a love independent of external conditions “Connecting with the inner teacher” to bless and energize your practice “The space between breaths” for accessing the still point within that opens us to the heart of the universe “Your awareness pervades the world,” a powerful technique for resting in a state of expansive consciousness
When we decide to begin a meditation practice, Kempton explains, we enter into an intimate new relationship with ourselves–a relationship that can become the platform for both inner stability and inner transformation. Here is a stepby- step program for starting a practice infused with love and the spirit of adventure with Beginning Meditation.

Healing is a process of coming home to one’s authentic self-to the loving presence that is the ground of our being. But we often get trapped by the false refuges of fear-based habits and judgmental thoughts. To help us bring the fruits of mindfulness practice into our lives for healing and transformation, Dr. Tara Brach offers Meditation and Psychotherapy. Created for mental health professionals and illuminating to anyone interested in the core techniques, practices, and insights of Buddhist psychology, this experience-focused audio learning program helps us find our way back to natural presence, a place where peace and our deep love for life grows.
Learning How to Face Our Tangled Emotions and Release Our Limiting Beliefs
There are many skillful means that we can use to train ourselves and our clients to become aware, teaches Brach, a psychotherapist and meditator of more than 30 years. But they all lead to one essential question: Can I be here in this moment? Using her R.A.I.N technique, a four-part process that helps us learn how to stop running away from our tangled emotions and start to lovingly face them, we’ll investigate and unblock the beliefs that cause suffering. Guiding us through meditations and practices on mindfulness, lovingkindness, forgiveness, allowing, and more, Brach shares key tools and expert insights for moving through this liberating process so that we can open and allow our lives to unfold, moment by moment.
“Mindfulness can strengthen our attention, awaken compassion and empathy, and expand our acceptance of our own inner states,” teaches Brach. Meditation and Psychotherapy draws on the strengths of mindfulness meditation and the practice of modern therapeutic methods to help clear the emotional blocks holding us back.
