Just what I needed,
By Rick Jones (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey of Awakening: A Meditator's Guidebook (Mass Market Paperback)
True story...One day I was walking in San Francisco on my way to the Carl Jung Institute, when I had an overwhelming urge for a cup of cappucino. I mean, completely overwhelming. I turned and headed down a street (Van Ness) that I knew (at the time) did not have any cafes or coffee shops, yet I could not seem to help myself. I was being pulled. After walking a few blocks, I noticed a sign for a bookstore below street level, and for some reason I went in. It was a weird little place filled with crystals and Hopi dream catchers, and I knew immediately it was probably not my kind of bookstore. Nonetheless, I decided to stay and browse a bit. I was turning one of those turning bookstands, when my eyes hit upon this book among a bunch of extreme New Age titles. I looked through it, and got tremendously excited as I realized that I had found something I had been barely aware I was looking for. So I bought it, read it about a dozen times, and it provided me with absolutely the right information I needed to make some decisions about meditation techniques, teachers, etc. In that sense, you could say it changed my life. Based on my own experiences, I would recommend this book unconditionally to anyone who feels themselves drawn in that direction but needs a bit more information first. As always, Ram Dass does a first-class job of presenting somewhat arcane information in a very accessible manner. Going back to that particular day, the funny thing was that as I walked out of the bookstore with the book, that overwhelming urge for a cup of cappucino had completely disappeared. And when I went back a few months later to find the bookstore again, I couldn't find it. I've always wondered what Carl Jung would have thought of the whole episode.

Sober Understanding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey of Awakening: A Meditator's Guidebook (Mass Market Paperback)
Helps one deal with the psychological changes one goes through when one begins to meditate. Helps to keep it together. Helps keep a clear perspective. When you start to meditate you are going through a life change. The book helped me deal with the changes and that it was OK to feel what I was feeling. Helped me to understand the body mind complex so I could deal with it rather than just be confused by it.

awesome book,
By Zeb Long (Thayne, WY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey of Awakening: A Meditator's Guidebook (Mass Market Paperback)
Awesome amounts of information about meditation, unique in that it does not focus on any particular technique. It has generous amounts of information on many different methods of meditation.
