Written by philosopher, theologian, and American Swami (Swami Jaidev Bharati) Justin O'Brien, Superconscious Meditiation is a straightforward how-to guide to learning how to meditate. Accessible to novices and practiced meditators alike, Superconscious Meditation avoids excessive technical language in its step-by-step guidelines for progressive relaxation, breathing techniques, clearing the mind, and applying meditation as a gateway to spirituality and higher consciousness. "Don't try to fight with your mind; don't try to stop your thoughts! Your job in meditation is just to note what's going on and do nothing about it. Keep no engagement with ideas or images. Instead, you are to maintain the stance of being aloof... Remaining a witness is your sole occupation." Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning meditation for its practical or spiritual benefits.
