Book Description

January 1, 2008
The classic book on practical meditation, updated and revised.

Originally published in 1984, Working Inside Out is one of the first books to bring pragmatic meditation techniques to westerners. Now, for the first time, the classic meditation book is paired with a specially created audio CD of guided meditations. Adair teaches the reader to use symbols that make meditation available to even the most restless and busy people.

Adair has updated her original work to reflect the latest thinking on meditation and its applications, including updates to many meditations, updates and revisions to all chapters and new writing on using meditation to address social issues. The book includes more than 45 guided meditations, a select number of which are contained on the 72-minute audio CD.

"Both pragmatic and visionary, this book is a must for people who are seriously determined to improve their lives."-Philip Slater, author of Pursuit of Loneliness: American Culture at the Breaking Point

"A very important, common sense book about our awareness of ourselves and our responsibility to become what we can be. We should hear its message."-Vine Deloria Jr., author of Red Earth, White Lies

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Profound, March 26, 2008
This review is from: Practical Meditation for Busy Souls With Audio CD (Paperback)
This book takes its readers down the fascinating path of Applied Meditation. The authors describe meditative states where one can access the profound powers of the mind. There are cogent descriptions of the Inner Witness, a state similar to the mindfulness of Buddhist meditation, the Active Imagination, the seat of visualization and intention, and the Receptive Imagination, where one engages in imaginative inquiry. Interwoven with guidance on how to attain and use these meditative states are stories from the authors' own experience of them and scientific evidence that applied meditation exists and works.

The CD, as well as the last few pages of each chapter contain guided mediations that help novices find their way in what may be new territory. These guided meditations shed helpful light on the concepts contained in the book. The guided meditations move the material from the abstract and theoretical, into the realm of the practical and possible.

I tried several of the Applied Meditation techniques in the book. I found them effective in addressing several issues from difficult relationships to a shortage of positive energy.

Our minds, energetic fields and universal consciousness are truly magical. This book can help you access the magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Book, April 8, 2008
By 
Lyric Julie (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Meditation for Busy Souls With Audio CD (Paperback)
This amazing book includes a CD with practical meditations that have really helped me through a difficult time. I have used the first meditation every day for the last week, and it has helped me let go of stress in my body and in my mind. I am not someone who meditates with ease, and the book has shown me a path to go down that enables me to access the power of meditation without having to "clear" my mind before starting. I am sure that anyone who tries this approach will experience positive change in their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for the busy soul!, November 27, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Practical Meditation for Busy Souls With Audio CD (Paperback)
I got this as a gift for a great friend of mine. She works at home, and it
is very nerve racking. Between Music and Meditation, she has been able to
help herself calm down. After talking to several other people, with similar
problems, this book came up! So, I said why not and got it for her. It has
helped wonderfully. So,if you know someone that is stressed out. And having
troubles unwinding, have them check this book out! Thank You
