"Meditation Manual" is a bite-size, user-friendly, easy-to-read guide to help readers immediately begin meditating or enhance an existing meditation practice. Many people feel intimidated by meditation. With no idea how it feels, they may dismiss their efforts as "not getting it" or "not doing it right." Author Peggy Ludington's early struggle with this uncertainty led her to share her method, which takes out the guesswork. The book teaches four simple exercises that demystify the process and create a clear path to the meditative state in a matter of minutes. As readers learn each exercise, they internalize and relax into the sensory experience of meditation. For beginners, the exercises slowly acquaint them with the meditative state and reassure them that it is a state of full awareness under their complete control. For the seasoned meditator, the instructions for this journey offer a fresh perspective and may allow a level of awareness beyond that previously achieved.
