The Meditation Handbook (Book) by David Fontana
Learn how to enjoy the mental and spiritual benefits of meditation
Meditation is an extraordinarily powerful tool for physical and mental relaxation as well as for personal and spiritual growth. It has been practised for thousands of years and today it continues to have serious relevance for an ever-increasing number of people.
The Meditation Handbook is an accessible introduction for the novice and a invaluable resource for the advanced practitioner. David Fontana describes the theory and practice of all the major Eastern and Western approaches to meditation and brings together the insights provided by these spiritual traditions with those of modern psychology.
With examples and clear practical guidelines, The Meditation Handbook shows how meditation can be used for:
-
Relaxation and dealing with daily stress
-
Attaining greater concentration and awareness
-
Achieving self-discovery and self-acceptance
-
Spiritual development
"Dr Fontana's sincerity, enormous depth of both scholarship and practice of meditation all combine to make this book a beautiful companion for meditators at any stage of their own spiritual journeys." - Dr Michael West, author of The Psychology of Meditation
