Meditation for every day

Meditation for every day by Bill Anderton. Now who told you that meditation should be difficult? – apparently it isn’t or at least if you take your sweet time with it.

And although I am not even half way through this book, and have been going at it for almost a month. I can see the benefits already. This is really a textbook that anyone can use. I especially like the frequently asked questions section, since I have had all of those exact questions.

For example, why does the world go really loud when you are trying to concentrate on your inner self? Well the book quite logically suggests that you more suseptible to ourside distractions when your mind has already almost lost the focus on every day, but has not yet completely opened the eyes onto the subconscious.

The gradual introduction starts with a few easy basic breathing exercises, then moves on to simple visualization meditations. I found the pace really carefully balanced and there is enough text between the meditations to get you to understand what you are trying to achieve and get you motivated to actually go ahead and do it.

I usually work through the exercises alone, but remembering a sequence you have never done before and relaxing at the same time are impossible to do together. Especially if the meditation is quite lengthy. But if you dictate the text to say a phone, which is recommended by the book, then you can easily go through even the most verbose of the sequences. And you get extra points, when future meditations build on top of what you are doing now – no need to rerecord large chunks!

This book is pretty old. There was a originally released in 1995 and reprinted in 1998. But it is still possible to find it in libraries and second-hand shops or amazon. I would really recommend it.
