This review is from: How Meditation Heals: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Health and Well-Being (Paperback)
This is the best book on meditation I'ver ever read. If you've ever been interested in the practice of meditation, but also have the kind of mind that likes to know how and why things are working or not working in your body, this is the book for you.Very intelligently written, full of profound ideas and easy-to-use exercises to get you going, this is the key to get you improving your health, well-being and enjoyment of life through meditation. Eric Harrison describes in detail the stress-response processes that go on in your body causing nearly all of our pain and illness and how learning to meditate can head those stressors off at the pass, so to speak, and keep you healthy, happy and in a balanced state of mind and body. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick, stressed, or for any reason feeling their enjoyment of life isn't where it could be.
