Book Description

September 1, 2010

Going beyond a basic overview to explain how and why meditation works, this manual provides clear instruction on how to create a daily meditation practice, emphasizing how important it is—especially for Westerners who are not used to being still—to sit correctly. By using contemporary examples from his own practice and more than a decade of teaching various meditation techniques, the information is presented in a modern way that is easy to understand, fun, and attainable. Perfect for both novice and seasoned practitioners, these simple techniques help deepen the practice and explore the physical, psychological, and emotional benefits of daily meditation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Demystifies the meditation process . . . the goal is to create a sense of peace in your life so that bumps in the road don’t become hurdles . . . a meditation book for the masses: simple, straightforward and very achievable."  —New Connexion Journal



"An all round guide to the whys and hows of the subject, including interesting background on psychology and physiology. There are exercises, case studies, resources . . . but it is the clear, down-to-earth explanations that make this such a useful book for anyone learning or struggling with any sort of meditation." —Bill Anderton, Pilgrim's (January 2011)


"This small and simple looking book is one of those bookshelf diamonds. . . . This unassuming little text is a comprehensive and manageable introduction to seated meditation . . . a wonderful antidote to all those meditation texts that make you feel like you must be doing it wrong, highly recommended." —Awen Clement, www.KindredSpirit.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars The clarity of a true mystic, November 9, 2010
By 
Jeff A. Ricks (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Inner Tranquility: A Guide to Seated Meditation (Paperback)
Darren brings his insight, truth and practicality to the topic and practice of meditation. He makes it, not a mysterious activity of a chosen few, but something that anyone can understand and value. He shows mediation's importance not just for the spirit, but for the mind and body, as well. I so appreciate it when mentors and mystics are understandable, and Darren is a perfect example. Thanks!
