Susan Shumsky's book goes one step further than claiming to be great for beginners -- it truly delivers. Offering meditation for the meditatively challenged, yoga exercises for couch potatoes, karma for skeptics, prayer for the faithless and enlightenment for the ignorant -- EXPLORING MEDITATION blazes new trails into eastern philosophy that almost anyone can easily master. Written in a clear, descriptive, straightforward style, this book opens the doors to understanding non-duality, chakras, ESP (extra-sensory perception), karma, yoga, meditation, intuition, healing, vedas, gunas, and spirit.

I personally most enjoy reading the sections on how to trouble-shoot one's meditation problems. Have you ever intended to meditate, but kept finding the same tedious thoughts racing through your mind? How about the problem of listening carefully, but not getting any clear messages? Susan Shumsky answers all these questions and more with grace and aplomb.

Have you longed for a "Do-Nothing" method of meditation? Would you like to learn the art of yogic breathing, and discover how grace overcomes karma? Are you ready to become spiritually street-smart? Are you interested in learning what we are made of and how we fit into the cosmos? Do you want to discover the personal aspects of your divine, higher self? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you'll definitely get a lot out of this book.

Exploring Mediation by Susan G Shumsky - I almost finished with this book - and I began reading it 2 days ago and I simply couldn't abandoned it. I bought this book only because I wanted to order some more books on Amazon which wasn't planned at all. I though it was full of different meditation techniques - but how wrong my predicaments where. It's truly an amazing spiritual book full of inspiring material, one brilliant meditation technique, learning how to talk to your higher self, spirits and more. She also writes about Karma in a way which is different from what I have seen before- making it easy to understand this very complex matter in a new way. She has been working with spirituality for 36 years, and shows you how to avoid pitfalls and much much more. I highly recommend it!

This book has so much information in an easy to read & follow manner. I read it in the library and felt I had to have this book. I decided to buy it. Now come on most people just read a book and then that's it. This book has information that every one should know.

Buy this book. It touches on a little of everything with easy to read directions. Anyone can follow this.

Exploring meditation explains eastern and western systems of meditation in great detail. This is an exploration and explanation of many meditaion practices, traditions and of the foundations of meditation. It has expanded my understanding and places my practice into perspective. This a great book that I return to when I want to deepen my understanding.

Great book on meditation. It's great for beginners as well as for those who are more advanced. It provides in-depth information on various meditation techniques. Even if you have never entered a state of meditation before, you can do so using the book as a reference. The instructions in the book are step-by-step and very easy to comprehend. Besides meditation techniques it teaches you almost everything you need to know about the subject and related issues

This book contains life changing material if you read it with an open mind. It guides you into easing into mediative state and it is really interesting. I gave my first copy to a friend and had to order it again so I can re-read it again someday.
