A Manual for Practicing and Teaching Meditation: Wisdom from Saints of East and West (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781489753113)

When we meditate, we are following in the footsteps of Jesus, who had a deep spiritual life and meditation practice. Jesus spent entire nights in prayer and meditation with God.

In meditation, we drink from the vine of Spirit, taste from the river of Life, and are nourished by a fountain that never runs dry. The paradox is: we don't just meditate for ourselves. We meditate for the world. We receive, in order that we might give from a place of spiritual fullness, an overflowing cup.

There are lot of practices that you can do, and meditation is not for everyone. Don't start meditating because it's what your spouse, friend, or even your Pastor wants you to do. Do it because it is the spiritual discipline saving your life right now, bringing you joy, peace, and spiritual radiance to share with others.

In the words of Asha Nayaswami, 'This is a uniquely comprehensive, well documented, training manual based on both extensive scholarship, resources from many spiritual traditions, and inner awakening. It is a manual that can be easily and effectively followed by those of any spiritual orientation who wish to experience for themselves the thrilling promise of every scripture and every religion. To fulfill the divine promise: "Be still and know that I am God."'

How much do you want to meditate? Many distractions can and will divert you from your single-hearted desire to know God. Yet if you hold the desire, tools and teachers await you.
