This review is from: Meditation is Boring?: Putting Life in Your Spiritual Practice (Paperback)

Linda Johnsen has written yet another stellar book about Western sensibilities meeting Eastern spiritual principles and blossoming into something new.

She's been there, done that and writes wonderfully about it. I've never seen the East made so accessable. Linda explains the basics here, but the experianced reader will find it highly rewarding as well.

Do yourself a favor and read everything this woman writes.You'll find her a warm hearted and knowledgeable friend .

If you are interested in meditation in the classic tradition...this is for you. Very user friendly, articulate and inspiring. Information that you don't find just anywhere.
