Meditation: A Complete Audio Guide to a Practical Eight-Point Program

Summary: 8 steps to transformation
Review: This book was really well written. I've searched and tried various forms of meditation and I think this book explains a very effective method for personal transformation. The method of passage meditation that the author recommends is simple and practical. He also covers 7 other points which are supposed to help aid in deepening meditation. Each point is a chapter. Some of these points such as one-pointed attention, putting others first, and slowing down are very contrary to today's culture. I found these suggestions for swimming against modern day culture refreshing. For someone coming from a catholic background I also appreciated that author has fashioned a program free of dogma and ritual. This is something I can practice within my own religious background.

Review: This is an excellent guide to meditation. The author's perspective applies to a reader of any spirituality. He speaks in laymens terms, and tells nice stories, doesn't preach, is a wonderful teacher.
