A clear, easy-to-follow guide to basic meditation practices Meditation is the most powerful relaxation technique available. Regular meditation radically improves physical and emotional health and is suitable for people of any age. It develops concentration, heightens sensitivity and dramatically increases creativity. Meditation is also extremely effective in reducing stress and anxiety, and there is even research to suggest that it can be beneficial in combating heart disease. This quick guide is the perfect introduction to meditation. It explains what meditation is, how and when to practise it, the range of techniques that can be used, how to meditate at home, and how to find a teacher. Erica and Nicholas have both been inspired by their own experience of meditation and encourage the reader to take an interest and make meditation a key part of a health-promoting lifestyle.
