Find the practice that’s right for you with this exploration of the many paths of meditation—from mantra, prayer, singing, visualizations, and “just sitting” to movement meditations such as tai chi

“Everyone has experienced a moment of pure awareness. A moment without thinking ‘I am aware’ or ‘that is a tree.’ Such moments bring a sense of rightness, of clarity, of being at one. Such moments are the essence of meditation.”—Ram Dass

Ram Dass is an American psychologist and spiritual teacher who has studied and practiced meditation for many years. Here he shares his understanding and suggests how you can find methods suitable for you. He illuminates the stages and benefits of meditative practice, and provides wise and often humorous advice on overcoming difficulties along the way.

but I have enjoyed this book thoroughly

December 1, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was recently introduced to Ram Dass. I wish that I had read more of his stuff earlier, but I have enjoyed this book thoroughly. The book is written in a very readable way and many people would be able to understand it. I also recommend listening to him speak and reading Be Here Now.

A good read that touches on the poignant work of others

April 4, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

A good read that touches on the poignant work of others, half the book was about meditation and some tips on how to solidify a personal practice, the other half was about societies and organizations that existed at that time so you can find a saathsang, a group to meditate and discuss ideas with. I had no use for the latter half, not ready for that. But I loved the first half, reading it brought a calm and peaceful feeling.

Easy to read and understand

April 29, 2014

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

This little book is a joy for anyone interested in learning about meditation. Reading it for any length of time is almost meditative in itself. Ram Dass uses charming, down-to-earth language, including humor, which anyone can understand. He outlines the numerous benefits of developing meditative awareness, to the point where one is inspired to begin the practice. He discusses where and when to meditate, different types of meditation (although he cautions us not to get entrapped by "methods"), the importance of meditating in a way that is comfortable for each individual. Delightful read.

A practical guide from a compassionate person

August 6, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I enjoyed this book for its practical insights, as well its numerous inspirational quotes from diverse sources. Ram Dass is a man of clear thinking. He possesses great experience in the development of a viable, grounded meditation practice. His book provides inspiration, advice, which would help to overcome common obstacles to a deepening practice, as well as historical information, simply for reading pleasure. This book helped me as someone of middling experience and one without a regular teacher/guru as a guide. I suggest it for anyone whose interests are to develop a sense of Universal connectivity to improve their inner refinement and outward-leading openness.

Simple and Rich. A Perfect Combination

June 5, 2015

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the first time I have read anything from Ram Dass. This book is simple, to the point yet in depth and rich with a variety of perspectives. It's enlightened me and others I have shared it with in many ways.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because half the book is addresses. This is the age of the internet. We can find meditation groups but thank you. I would delight in a smaller version to keep with the simple approach.

Great as always

May 17, 2013

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

When Bhagavan Dass introduced Richard Alpert to the Maharaji it set into motion a chain of events that was meant to be. It realized a being who has been like an ice breaker breaking the ice of the western consciousness and helping free up beings. You don't have to become Hindu or buddhist to realize yourself, but you do need effective tools you use on a daily basis. Here are those tools. Realization takes work and here's how you can do it. Enjoy. The audioversion is also available on iTunes. Highly recommend that also.

Great Book in Great Condition

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great Book. This is the second copy I ordered because I loved it so much that I needed to get one for a friend of mine. Book took an extremely long time to reach me (2 months) but that's because I'm currently overseas. Otherwise, great purchase!
