This clearly written guide shows how to use meditation to raise one's awareness out of ordinary waking consciousness into the state of Superconsciousness. Swami Kriyananda offers core meditation... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Give you great little tidbits into how/why energy works. For example long hair draws up more energy into the head area (badly paraphrasing). I recommend it to those to have received a curveball from life and need to understand energies, life, and overall insight into things.
Excellent guide to a deeper understanding of meditation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Awaken to Superconsciousness gives a fresh and insightful introduction to the art of meditation. It's especially inspiring for those who already have a meditation practice and would like to go into it more deeply. Covers the key ingredients of meditation which many people don't understand--how to focus the mind, how to attune to the inner silence, the importance of energy, magnetism, and devotion. It includes about a dozen helpful guided meditations.

Best Non-Sectarian Approach to Meditation I've Ever Seen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you're a yogi, a meditator, agnostic, even an atheist- I think you'll be helped by this book. I was. Walters shares very simple meditation techniques that work. This approach has been tried and tested for thousands of years- it's all basic yoga meditation, presented in a way that Westerners can understand. If I could 'get it' from this book, then anyone can!
We recommend this book to our customers

I work at the sales desk of the leading metaphysical book store in the San Francisco area, where I'm continually asked to recommend beginning books on meditation. For myself, I unhesitatingly give "Awaken to Superconsciousness" my unreserved recommendation. For these reasons:It's the least sectarian approach I've seen, thus it appeals to the widest section of readers. Unlike Tibetan, Zen, and Middle Eastern teachings, it isn't colored by centuries of priestly tradition. Yet it "goes back to the source"--and its very bedrock purity makes it "user-friendly" to Western sensibilities.It's very practical, because it's based on how our bodies are made. Paramhansa Yogananda said, "At the inner end of the nervous system, the mind, interiorized, communes with the soul." This book teaches the art and science of patiently calming the breath and mind so that we can use our own nervous system to commune with the healing inner peace and joy. For my money, you won't find a better guide. (I've meditated for 30 years, and I learn something new from this book every time I open it.)
