Meditation for Relaxation starts right off with the author’s upbringing around a mother who practiced yoga/meditation and he wasn’t so sure of it for a long time. That confession drew me in, and the contents of the book kept me engaged. I too have not known what to do with the word meditation, or the practice. As a Christian, I was taught it was a new age practice and to stay away. The author states right away that Meditation for Relaxation is for people of all faiths, or even no faith at all. I think he did a great job explaining that, and giving so many exercises to work with. Also, as a side note, meditation for Christians is prayer. We thought of it first, the devil just likes to counterfeit everything. Don’t get hung up on the word.
The exercises are easy to understand and divided into categories that again, make trying meditation a stress-free thing.
I went into this book a little skeptical, and walked away relaxed and impressed.
I definitely recommend.
I received this book for review from the publisher. I was not compensated nor did anyone influence my opinion.
