Product Description

An introduction to the art and practice of meditation, this guide lays down the foundation for ongoing spiritual development. A series of ten lessons provide specific insight into Raja Yoga, with practical exercises to complement and to help your understanding of the method and underlying teachings. The lessons cover: an introduction to the practice of meditation; rediscovering the true identity and the nature of self; making meditation practical; the shaping of personality; understanding and exploring different the levels of consciousness; restoring our relationship with God; understanding the natural law that governs the universe; a spiritual understanding of how the dance of life on earth has evolved; understanding the history and geography of time; and how to support meditation and spiritual development with the right lifestyle. The guide shows how meditation is more an experience than something you do, more a process than an achievement, more an ongoing inner journey than a destination. Take your time, be patient with yourself and always be ready to go back to basics, to lesson one, the true identity of the self, which is the foundation of everything. The CD accompanying the book has an audio introduction to meditation and many of the meditations within the book are presented as guided commentaries. Recorded by the author, the commentaries provide the reader with a powerful aid to their meditational practice. Readers can also access assistance and have their questions answered by email.

Clear, intelligent and easy to use
A wonderful book for both the new and practised meditator. Mike George makes beginning meditation a very simple process removing any confusion (or fustration) about what you may or may not experience during the early days of your practice with very clear and simple instructions both in the book and on CD. In an easy step by step guide the book gradually leads you into deeper medative states whilst opening up your awareness to the original purpose of the soul and it's true state of silence, peacefulness and love. Whilst not religious in content the book is based on the philosophies of the Brauma Kumaris University and for some the 'beliefs' that are taught may not always sit well with your own views or spiritual truths. However, as a mediation course and a guide on developing spiritually and discovering your souls true purpose it is well written, intelligent and overall a wonderful book. The CD is a very useful companion to the book - clear instructions to follow as you go through each meditation plus relaxing music and voice. Highly recommended

Review of In The Light of Meditation with CD
I found this book very easy to use. Good for both beginner and more experienced meditators. Its underlining philosophy is not complicated and can be taken onboard by both those of a spiritual background and those of a more religious background without any huge change in beliefs. The CD is very helpful and both the book and CD are well thought out. I would recommend this book highly.

In the light of meditation
This book is insightful, simple to follow and infectious. The wisdom within it is powerful, life enhancing and empowering. It is a great gift that is able to aid self understanding to enable the binding together of mind body and soul. Explicit, concise and a real tonic for the mind, body and soul.
Having bought many many books on the subject of meditation, this is the one that has ended my search. Thank you.
