ORION PLAIN & SIMPLE: MEDITATION

Meditation is a discipline that clears your mind and controls your thoughts and emotions so that you can function as your true self. You are not in a hypnotic state because you are fully aware of what is happening here and now. Techniques range from chants and gentle breathing exercises, emptying the mind, focussing on one topic (single-point meditation), one movement or one of the five senses, to deep contemplation. In the East it has been practiced for over 5,000 years to promote tranquillity, awareness and wisdom. Some of the methods are incorporated in the practices advocated in this very popular book with excellent meditations and explanations, even for complete beginners. Covers preparing yourself, clearing negativity, past hurts, changing your world, healing your emotions, colour healing, nature meditations and the healing room. The last part deals with spiritual meditation, psychic development, meditation for spiritual connection or for religion.
