A Little Guide to Meditation is a practical and comprehensive guide to improving mental & physical wellbeing through this ancient practice. From its roots in the ancient practices of Buddhist monks and Hindu sages, meditation has evolved to what it is today while preserving its core purpose: to quieten the mind and open up the heart.
The book begins with a brief history of meditation, tracing its journey from sacred temples and monasteries to the mindfulness movement embraced by millions today, before looking at different forms of meditation and how it can help navigate through the stresses and challenges of our daily lives. There are also practical, easy-to-follow meditations throughout the chapters, ranging from simple breath awareness and grounding exercises to loving-kindness meditations and mantra-based transcendental meditation. The book finishes with ideas on how you can incorporate meditation into your daily activities, from doing the washing up to walking through a park.
Whether your goal is to reduce your stress levels, improve your mental acuity or to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace, A Little Guide to Meditation offers the tools and inspiration to begin your new journey.
