This book is a great overview of different meditation techniques and subjects. It starts off at an introductory pace and then quickly spans several thousands of years instructions. A great book.

This book is a great for those who are new to meditation and want to start immediately. After a few minutes of reading this book, the reader can begin to meditate. The book first explains the reasons why people meditate and gives some tips to get the most out of meditation ( i.e. keep a journal ). The book then explains how to meditate by using correct posture and breathing techniques. The next few sections then gives the reader ideas on what to focus on or what to think about when meditating such as symbols and imagery. There is also a section on the importance of colors and how different colors can invoke emotions. The rest of book then gives tips on how meditation can affect your life by producing change and reduce stress. Overall, this book is incredibly valuable and there is no reason not to get it considering its price.Thanks to this book, I meditate at least 5 minutes a day when I wake up. It also provides me with ideas on what I can meditate on.
Some good ideas but missing.....

As a relative beginner in the world of meditation I found some interesting techniques in this book. However, it lacked specific examples or instructions as to how to impliment the techniques. The book also has a pretty useless section discussing colors and what they say about you. Overall though for the price I think this is a decent book to complement other materials and personal instruction.
