Reclaiming Meditation - From Religion, Spiritualism and Socio-Cultural Clichés (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781067620523)

Meditation is one of the most misunderstood practices in human history. Over time, it has been buried beneath religion, ritual, spiritual performance, wellness culture, and modern cliché - leaving many people disconnected from what meditation actually is.

In this grounded and uncompromising exploration, Rowdy Farooqi strips meditation back to its essence: not as mysticism or inherited belief, but as a direct human experience rooted in awareness, psychology, physiology, and inner coherence.

Blending history, neuroscience, trauma awareness, energy-centre work, creativity, nervous-system regulation, and lived personal experience, this book challenges both blind spirituality and shallow self-help narratives. It explores meditation as a practical tool for understanding the human system - from thought patterns and emotional conditioning to intuition, creativity, and consciousness itself.

Written in a direct, reflective, and deeply human voice, this is not a book about escaping life.

It is a book about understanding it from the inside out.
