Meditation Without Gurus: A Guide to the Heart of Practice

4.1/5 ( ratings)

A straightforward guide that sets meditation free from pretension and intimidation. In short, compelling reflections, Clark Strand answers with a resounding "yes " to the one key question that haunts those of us who are locked in well-meaning "self-help hell": Is there a way that I can learn to slow down and experience myself, my life, and other people in the present moment without adopting a new religious or philosophical ideology? Stripping meditation down to its essential heart--simplicity, lightness, and peace--Meditation without Gurus shows readers that it's not whether you can get into the full lotus position that counts, but rather your ability to become fully present in the moment. In place of gurus, mantras, and retreats to distant monasteries, Strand shows readers how to welcome meditation into their lives without stress, worries, and unreasonable expectations. With inviting, easy-to-understand exercises; enlightening, poetic anecdotes; and plenty of common sense, this one-of-a-kind, inspiring, real-world guide provides the tools to make meditation a joy--not a fearsome, rigid chore. Previously published under the title The Wooden Bowl by Hyperion .
