How to Meditate: A Guide to Self Discovery - Softcover

In ' How to Meditate' Dr LeShan explains simply and clearly why we should meditate, and what meditation does physically and psychologically. Drawing on the meditational practices of Zen, Sufism, Yoga and Jewish and Christian mysticism, he describes various exercises and programs, ranging from breath counting and simple mantras to group movement and sensory awareness. There is also a description of the use of meditation in psychotherapy and the implications of its affect on the brain and for society as a whole.

Through the use of meditation, Leshan shows it is possible to achieve a focusing of our energies and increased concentration and confidence that can increase our ability to cope with the pressure of our ordinary lives and ultimately lead to a higher peace.
