Published 1 September 1988
People of any age, condition and circumstance can meditate, and as a result of regular practice, most people naturally begin to adopt a healthier way of life. It can benefit those suffering from stress and anxiety, and improve emotional well-being. The first two chapters of this guide explain what meditation is and how it can help. The rest of the book provides practical information on how to practice it. A range of techniques is described and the questions most commonly asked about meditation are answered. Advice is given on meditating at home and choosing a teacher, and the reference section at the end of the book lists a number of teachers and organizations who give instruction in meditation.
