How to Meditate * GESIGNEERD * Lawrence LeShan
HOW TO MEDITATE is a practical guide to meditation by a distinguished parapsychologist. Dr LeShan explains simply and clearly why we meditate, how to meditate, and what meditation does psychologically and physiologically. Drawing on the meditational practices of Zen, Sufism, Yoga, and Jewish and Christian mysticism, Dr LeShan describes specific exercises and programmes, structured and unstructured, ranging from breath-counting and simple mantras to group movement and sensory awareness. He also explores such intriguing fields as the role of meditation in psychotherapy and the relation of meditation to the paranormal.
Through the use of meditation, LeShan shows, it is possible to achieve a focusing of energies and increased concentration and confidence that can lead to efficiency in everyday life, and eventually to a higher inner peace.
