Book Reviews of Practical Meditation for Busy Souls With Audio CD
Book Review: Practical and Profound
Summary: 4 Stars
This book takes its readers down the fascinating path of Applied Meditation. The authors describe meditative states where one can access the profound powers of the mind. There are cogent descriptions of the Inner Witness, a state similar to the mindfulness of Buddhist meditation, the Active Imagination, the seat of visualization and intention, and the Receptive Imagination, where one engages in imaginative inquiry. Interwoven with guidance on how to attain and use these meditative states are stories from the authors' own experience of them and scientific evidence that applied meditation exists and works.
The CD, as well as the last few pages of each chapter contain guided mediations that help novices find their way in what may be new territory. These guided meditations shed helpful light on the concepts contained in the book. The guided meditations move the material from the abstract and theoretical, into the realm of the practical and possible.
I tried several of the Applied Meditation techniques in the book. I found them effective in addressing several issues from difficult relationships to a shortage of positive energy.
Our minds, energetic fields and universal consciousness are truly magical. This book can help you access the magic.
Summary of Practical Meditation for Busy Souls With Audio CD
The classic book on practical meditation, updated and revised.Originally published in 1984, Working Inside Out is one of the first books to bring pragmatic meditation techniques to westerners. Now, for the first time, the classic meditation book is paired with a specially created audio CD of guided meditations. Adair teaches the reader to use symbols that make meditation available to even the most restless and busy people.
Adair has updated her original work to reflect the latest thinking on meditation and its applications, including updates to many meditations, updates and revisions to all chapters and new writing on using meditation to address social issues. The book includes more than 45 guided meditations, a select number of which are contained on the 72-minute audio CD.
"Both pragmatic and visionary, this book is a must for people who are seriously determined to improve their lives."-Philip Slater, author of Pursuit of Loneliness: American Culture at the Breaking Point
"A very important, common sense book about our awareness of ourselves and our responsibility to become what we can be. We should hear its message."-Vine Deloria Jr., author of Red Earth, White Lies
