The Meditation Lifestyle

Many readers will have a practice of meditation, and this book will help you go beyond that practice to enrich your experience of living. Based on the experience of 30 years of teaching, the structure of the book addresses a number of themes such as strength, beauty, happiness, energy, health and wholeness. The introduction by businessman David Barclay stresses that meditation is for busy people as a means of addressing the dangers of this very busyness by giving the brain a break and discovering a sense of contentment. The author assumes that meditation is in fact a constant activity and provides many useful exercises. After all, the quality of our everyday state of mind is critical to our sense of wellbeing. It also puts us in touch with the deeper silence that helps us develop a real presence, which the author illustrates with a story about a radiant Buddhist monk.
