Meditation for Absolutely Everyone

Summary: Everything needed to start meditating- and to keep up!
Review: I loved Khalsa's "Success of the Soul" so I was thrilled to learn that he had done an earlier book. His writing is so simple, so clear, and yet often profound. Above all he is able to take the mystery out of meditation without sacrificing any of its power. I had tried to meditate before but could never motivate myself to stay with it long enough to have any effect. This book changed all that. The language is definitely motivating and the audio tape makes it feel like one is meditating along with a group and is being guided by a kind and knowledgable teacher. Subagh Khalsa is a gifted teacher and this book is a little gem.

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: I read the small book in one sitting and choose a meditation that seemed right for me, and off I went. The mantras on the audio cassette are done with a group so that you have the feeling that you are in a class. Each meditation is under 15 minutes so that you can do one or more depending on your time. I liked the tape so much that I passed it onto a friend. It really explains the use of mantras; suggests that you can make up your own according to your religion or preference; offers traditional Sanskrit mantras and explains their meanings; explains the use of mudras (hand postures) and offers a variety of breath work. It really demystifies mantra meditation for me and opened up a door in my life.
