Meditation helps you maintain physical health and mental clarity with equanimity. It is the key technique in the search for higher consciousness and, as such, plays a vital role in many of the world's religions and the pursuit of psycho-physical relaxation. James Hewitt provides a clear, concise and practical guide to meditation as practiced in both East and West. He is not concerned only with one tradition or school, but explores the different methods of meditation, encouraging you to experiment to find the one that suits you best.
