The best book of meditation techniques we've come across, Oct 17 2006
By Immrama Institute "www.immrama.org" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Meditation Bible: The Definitive Guide to Meditations for Every Purpose (Paperback)
"The Meditation Bible" by Madonna Gauding is by far the best meditation book we've come across this year. Packed with 140 individual meditations, the book contains something for everyone. Gauding has gathered some of the best -- and easiest to learn -- meditation techniques in a beautifully designed collection. Beginners and experienced meditators alike will benefit from this handy guide.Part 1 features a "Before You Begin" section that explains meditation and provides tips for preparation, body positioning, establishing a daily practice, and more. Part 2 features 140 individual meditation techniques described in step-by-step detail. The organization and presentation of the meditation techniques is what makes "The Meditation Bible" so appealing and user-friendly. The techniques are divided into eight categories:
1. Calming and Centering
2. Living Mindfully
3. Healing Body, Mind, & Spirit
4. Get Moving
5. Love and Compassion
6. Problem Solving
7. Manifesting Your Dreams
8. Connecting to the Divine
For each of the 140 techniques found in the book, the author outlines the benefits of the technique, describes the best time to use it, and includes clear and concise instructions for practicing the technique. The majority of the techniques are not oriented toward any specific spiritual path, instead providing practical meditation methods that will appeal to all readers. The techniques found in the section called "Connecting to the Divine" cover a wide variety of spiritual traditions, including Christian, Buddhist, Quaker, Jewish, Native American, Taoist, and many others.
Experienced meditators may recognize some of the techniques -- The Microcosmic Orbit, The Distracted Mind, Watching Your Breath -- but many of the techniques are creative and unique. Gauding's book describes how to turn nearly any act into a meditation, providing readers with the opportunity to incorporate meditation into their day in ways they probably never even imagined. As a fun and spontaneous way to make use of the book, try opening to a random page and using that technique as your meditation method for the day.
We would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning a variety of fun and valuable meditation techniques.

Comfort in times of need and uncertainty, Sep 14 2005
By Sandy - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Meditation Bible: The Definitive Guide to Meditations for Every Purpose (Paperback)
Containing more meditations than I ever knew existed, this book is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to improve their life. Just recently, I was feeling unsettled and anxious, but I couldn't pin down the cause of the feelings. I sat down with my meditation bible and immediately located several topics that set off those inner bells, telling me to focus on those areas. I followed the instructions, meditated, and could feel my anxiety lessen. Solutions soon presented themselves and the source of my aggitation disappeared.Madonna Gauding is one of my favorite authors. I love her clear, concise prose, substantive content and insightful revelations. I'm a beginner when it comes to meditation, but with this book in my library, I won't remain so for long.

I have meditated for years and teach meditation to people new to it. I use it as a text book due to the variety of meditations. I like that it includes many different spiritual approaches to meditation and it is a resource that can be used as one continues to explore meditation.
