Book Description
Ever since the Gnostic (self-knowledge) traditions were purged from Christianity in the Fourth Century AD, the church has been a gatekeeper of faith. But people today are curious about the differences between fixed, dogmatic truths offered by religious authority and inner, personal and adaptable truths discovered from within. Now, author Robert Felix has written a work that brings these external and internal worlds together in order to help you achieve a closer connection to the Divine. An historical oversight of Western religions, Felix contends, is that they teach us how to talk to God without teaching the equally important skill of how to listen to God. Here, Felix shows how to combine Western styles of prayer with Eastern meditation techniques. With prayer you discover the unique characteristics of your personality while meditation enables you to hear answers in the form of new, creative solutions to the concerns and goals you face. With this practice, you can intentionally alter your mind for the better. Felix writes, "Because you are unique, no one can create your pathway to Divine Love but you. Everyone communicates with God in a personal space, inside themselves. You have to find your own 'God within' and then the Highest Source will help you in profound, life changing ways." After forty years of research and practice, Felix has found that these techniques enhance the ability to feel God's Pure Love. The Three Word Meditation approach creates partnerships between the verbal skills of your analytical brain and the holistic skills of your intuitive brain. They form the basis of the most cherished partnerships of all--the partnerships between you, Pure Love, and all of earth's life. A rainbow of advice for personal wellness and spiritual growth. With all of its talk of partnerships, productivity, and growth, it¿s difficult to imagine a more pragmatic approach to meditation. Useful for those seeking a neat path to achieving inner balance. -Kirkus Discoveries

Book Description
Open yourself up to a higher power and find peace, solace, and healing. If you're looking for more to life than the material world offers, these hundreds of meditations, prayers, and blessings from a wide variety of the world's traditions will bring comfort and well-being. Meditation cuts through and calms the tangled mass of feelings that rage through our minds. Nurture the positive spark that lies within by practicing daily meditations to expand the mind, contact energy, and manage pain. Some of them employ candles, sacred symbols, mantras, music, and nature. For each, there are instructions on breathing, posture, and visualization. If meditation encourages listening to a greater spirit, prayers address God--and here are ones for adoration, petition, and silent communion that come from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jain, Native America, and more. Some are nondenominational. Finish with blessings, a powerful way to praise the Divine and share loving energy with others. The author lives in Brooklyn, NY. 512 pages, 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.

Book Description
Metaphysical Meditations The reprint of the original 1952 edition By Paramhansa Yogananda Most people want to meditate but do not know how to do so. The purpose of meditation is to connect the little joy of the soul with the vast joy of the Spirit with focused practice. Meditation is not the same as concentration which consists in freeing the attention from objects of distraction and focusing on one thing at a time. Meditation is that special form of concentration in which the attention has been liberated from restlessness, and is focused on the Infinite, to be focused only on God or sacred thoughts and ideas. Meditation consists in certain physical, psychological, and metaphysical processes—by which the static of restlessness can be removed from the body, mind, and soul radios, which can then be tuned in with the Infinite. By calm, continuous, one pointed attention the ego must be kept connected to the Spirit until they both become merged into everlasting bliss. In Metaphysical Meditations Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the best-selling spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, gives some concrete metaphysical methods of meditation, for the student who has already struggled through the mobs of rowdy thoughts and crossed the portals of silence. The instructions will be found in the various sections of the book preceding each type of meditation: prayers or demands addressed to the Divine, affirmations about God, and those spoken to the individual consciousness.

Book Description
This is a classic text on the essence of Buddhist meditation. It is an excellent, in-depth description of mindfulness practice and its benefits. It includes a concise explanation of clear comprehension, which is the kind of mindfulness you use in the course of your daily life. It also presents an easily understandable explanation of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. This new edition includes an introduction from noted author and teacher Sylvia Boorstein. Although the Buddha lived over 2500 years ago, his teachings on meditation are among the most effective methods for healing the pain of grief, finding inner peace, and overcoming the sense of dislocation caused by living in the 21st century. Mindfulness is a method not only for committed Buddhists. It is for everyone interested in mastering the mind.

Book Description
This is the first theoretically informed and historically accurate comparative anthology of primary texts on meditation and contemplative prayer. Written by international experts on the respective texts and corresponding traditions, Contemplative Literature provides introductions to and primary sources on contemplative practice from various religious traditions. The contributors explore classical Daoist apophatic meditation, Quaker silent prayer, Jewish Kabbalah, Southern Buddhist meditation, Sufi contemplation, Eastern Orthodox prayer, Pure Land Buddhist visualization, Hindu classical Yoga, Dominican Catholic prayer, Daoist internal alchemy, and modern therapeutic meditation. Each introduction to a contemplative text discusses its historical context, the associated religious tradition and literature, the method of contemplative practice, and the text's legacy and influence. Volume editor Louis Komjathy opens the work with a thoughtful consideration of interpretive issues in the emerging interdisciplinary field of contemplative studies. Readers will gain not only a nuanced understanding of important works of contemplative literature, but also resources for understanding contemplative practice and contemplative experience from a comparative and cross-cultural perspective.
