This review is from: How to Meditate (Hardcover)

I read "The Meditation Handbook" (Gyatso) before this and felt thoroughtly confused by the excessive Buddist philosophy and religious emphasis in that book.

This book, by Paul Roland, has great pictures, is comprehensive, easy to follow, and easy to read. Any child or adult would find this book useful. It's definately a beginner's introduction to meditation, but also covers chakras, meditation settings, creative visualization, color therapy, using mantras, and contains numerous exercises! It's a terrific overview of meditation and related topics which will allow the reader to choose what other aspects they want to pursue after reading this book. Highly recommended!
