Meditation: The Journey Beyond The Mind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539676805)

There are a lot of books on the spiritual marketplace. The volume is overwhelming. Yoga, mindfulness, reiki, you name it. It's enough to make your head spin.

And mindfulness has received a lot of recognition - not just from its use in therapy, but from scientific research.

At the same time, in this modern age, many people just don't want to return to the religious certainties of the past.

This book is for all of those who are looking for a happy medium. It distills the spiritual path, boiling it down to its core elements, and presents it in a way that is understandable and practical for anyone.

It all comes down to authentic presence - the state of awakening that already exists within you as the fundamental element of your being.

• What authentic presence is, and why it matters
• How we end up separate from our inner being by getting sucked into the games of ego
• How to discover authentic presence within yourself through the practice of meditation
• How to cultivate that presence
• The importance of bringing the profoundly authentic state into your real life
• How to use authentic presence to transform negative emotions into positive situations
