Download or read book Meditation 101 written by Amie Hill and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-10-28 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in 1968, after a friend gave me a few basic instructions on how to begin meditating, it wasn't long before I realized that I was seriously in need of more information on the subject; thus began for me a lifelong informal investigation into the planet's numerous meditation traditions. Because I'm a practical person (and one for whom "because I said so" has never been enough of an answer), I soon discovered that it was important for me to examine the "why" behind those traditions—the physiology, psychology and purpose of sitting in meditation; its relationship between physical and mental experience; therelationship of each meditation technique to the spiritual tradition which taught it; the relationship of meditation to "real life." Along the way, I encountered some remarkable teachers and writings, and every time I found a tidbit of learning (whether from actual experience, from the words or actions of a teacher or from a specific text) which created an "aha!" moment of clarity and discovery for me, I made a note of it to share and compare with other meditators. What I've put into this book is the cream of those practical suggestions, useful quotes, clarifying metaphors and relevant bits of scientific information—things which have not only helped me stick to a meditation practice through thick and thin for over 30 years, but have shown me (and others) the way to real moments of understanding. This is the book I wish someone had given me all those years ago!

Download or read book Color Meditation written by Kees Veenman and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Is there also such a thing as 'the essence of color'? For me, the essence is the spiritual aspect that lives in color. Making this spiritual aspect accessible is the purpose of this book." -- Kees Veenman We are all familiar with the world of color, but can we learn to experience color more intensely? Can we learn to penetrate colors in a more profound way? This book takes the reader into the activity of the colors of the spectrum by investigating them meditatively. The author explains aspects of color phenomenology and prepares the reader for color meditations, including some that he has incorporated into his own personal practices. Kees Veenman, a phenomenologist who specializes in colors, begins by observing the spring gold and the autumn gold of trees before introducing the phenomenological method whereby his research connects with Goethe's theory of color and that of Rudolf Steiner. Using numerous examples and experiments, Veenman guides the reader toward the dynamics and essence of colors, describing his research into the nature of colors along with fresh questions that help us penetrate the world of colors ever more deeply. The author also considers light therapy and the relationship of colors to the seasons, as well as to fairytales. The reader is encouraged to meditate with and in colors to discover and experience, among other things, consciousness of Christ. All of this is presented with clear descriptions supplemented with color images. Color Meditation is for those who want to appreciate the phenomena and wonders--the being--of color more deeply and fully understand how color can enrich one's soul and spiritual activity. "The correspondence between the emergence and effect of a color outside us and the appearance within us is found in the polarity between light and darkness. Light is a symbol of clear day consciousness, whereas darkness represents the impenetrability of the will. Here we come to the intimate relationship between the world of colors and that of human consciousness with its active and passive side." -- Christine Gruwez (foreword) Translated by Laura Liska from Kleurmeditatie (Uitgeverij Pentagon, Amsterdam, 2015).

Download or read book Pursuit of Light written by Sandy Brewer and published by Peachtreehouse Incorporated. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuit of Light is a stunning, inspiring true-life story. With compelling compassion, wit and wisdom, Sandy Brewer narrates the pathway out of darkness into light with such richness that it is as though she is having a conversation with you in your living room. In spite of the near-fatal abuse Brewer endured as a child, she not only overcame the handicaps of her own past but has also gone on to become a dynamically effective therapist, author and inspirational speaker. This is a gripping memoir, witty, powerful, and riveting, that details the profound lessons of her personal journey and how they apply to people from all walks of life.Brewer demonstrates the triumph of the human spirit and, using empowering and practical tools, teaches the "how to's" of choice. Everyone's personal history is only the backstory, for no matter what transpired yesterday it is insignificant compared to what lies within the core of one's being today. Victimization is an experience not an identity. We get to choose to reach for the promise of our greater potentials.
