Hardcover and bound so as to stay open, The Diamond Color Meditation is a perfect travel companion, great for train rides or during lunch break at work. I find that I feel more focused and deal better with such stresses as electronic bookkeeping with the aid of this easy-to-use tool.

This is one book I can re-read and never get tired of. Well done Dr. Diamond.

The Diamond Color Meditation is a revolutionary approach to meditation by one of the world's great pioneers of holoistic medicine. It is deceptively simple, so much so that I believe most anyone could do it and benefit. It certainly does not require any previous experience of meditation and, indeed, is very different from the usual "passive" Eastern-derived approach. More important, the benefits are immediate, long-lasting and profound.

The reason for this is that the Meditation goes the heart of our life problems by helping to alleviate what Dr. Diamond terms our existential anguish, the root cause of all human suffering and disease, both physical and mental. The result is our Life Energy is raised at the deepest level.

I cannot stress enough the brilliant simplicity of the approach and its effectiveness. Doing the Meditation on a daily basis helps my entire day, enhancing my creativity, relationships and general functioning. I understand that it is the fruit of years of research and is yet another example of the astounding originality, insight, and therapeutic efficacy of Dr. Diamond's work. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

I've had this for a month now and use it daily. I find it quickly and simply gets me to a place where I feel the meditation is working to get insights I haven't accessed before. I read a review of it on merliannews.com: "...the author has designed this system to overcome the anguish and bring about deep healing....You may feel an immediate shift in the first reading/meditation, or a sense of the old wounds loosening and softening. If you continue for several days, more good effects continue to roll in - the colors are by turns soothing, energizing and healing." That convinced me to work with the book and I think it is simply fantastic!

This is a truly remarkable book. Dr. Diamond presents original insights and a philosophy that is inspiring. The meditation itself is a beautiful experience-one I look forward to using regularly throughout the years to come! I am already experiencing tremendous positive benefits from this book.

The Diamond approach, spending between 1 and 5 minutes focusing on various colors and symbols, nearly matches The Balancing Program's quest for higher Mental Potential utilizing a similar approach. When I use the Diamond method, I immediately become calm and restful. My mind seems to clear itself of clutter; I feel tranquil all over. Creditable endorcements abound by various well-known authorities in the medical field. Additionally, color expert Max Luscher, M.D., certifies Diamond's experimental work with a "two thumbs up" rating. There is much to be said for the power of color and symbol in our lives, and if you should purchase this book, I think you'll find the descriptive information helpful and the approach beneficial, both now and in the future.

I have been doing this active color meditation for over a year now, and I still find the process very centering and uplifting. The brilliance of the book is its simplicity - it addresses a deep psychological issue, finding the love of one's mother, with a very practical series of colors and symbols, all framed in black to maximize their effect.

Of course, the result is generalized from one's mother to the rest of the world. In this regard, it is the simplest and most effective "how to be more loving" book I have found.

This is truly a meditation, which inspires that same lightness of mind and ease of being that can be so hard to find in classical meditation. A perfect introduction to meditation for those who have difficulty with the classical process. A "book" to read every day.

I was expecting a more full spectrum guide book to color therapy and meditation. Focuses on healing your relationship with your mother.....not that that is necessarily a bad thing....but states that this is where all healing begins. Don't agree with that, but for some it may be a good starting place. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Seldom is it that an esteemed expert in his field gives such forthright and open praise to, and expresses such appreciation for, someone who is just as experienced and knowledgeable in their own field as does John Diamond, M.D., at the start of The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul. Professor Max Lūscher, M.D., is an acknowledged color expert in the field of psychiatry, to whom Diamond declares his indebtedness in respect of the five test colors that form the basis of the Diamond Color Meditation that Diamond presents in this book. The author has already achieved great success with them both in his holistic healing practice, as well as on a more directly personal level with himself and with his loved ones.

The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul is described by Dr. John Diamond as "a guide to using the spiritual power of colors--including very special Lūscher colors [dark blue, blue-green, orange-red and bright yellow, which are all provided in the form of color charts in the book]--to help you take the next steps on your lifelong spiritual journey. Through Color to the Soul."

Above all, this work is intended to solve our anguish through the practical application of the use of color in such a way that we are once more able to come to a grateful acceptance of our being in the Universe. Coming to terms with our own Existential angst and rising above it by means of the use of such tools as the metatherapeutic technique that Diamond shares with us in The Diamond Color Meditation is the only way in which we can find true resolution in our lives.

The spiritual and literary roots of Diamond's research into the workings of the human psyche are explored with us as he uncovers the meaning of the undeniable wisdom of the most profound thinkers across the centuries. In what others might have been tempted to make esoteric and beyond the grasp of the unenlightened, Diamond explains and explicates in so simple and meaningful a way that even those with only a secondary level of education can follow with ease. Diamond deserves praise for rendering such a potentially complex subject so meaningful and relevant to all who choose to be open to what he has to say. In this rainbow of a book, with its colorful illustrations, he lights our way to the deepest and darkest recesses of our minds and souls. Won't you allow him to transform your life as well?
