Críticas

In this book, Colum Hayward (who will be known to many people in connection with the White Eagle organization) explains how we can integrate a meditation practice into our everyday lives. Enrich every moment of your life, as it says on the front cover.

There are some lovely illustrations by Bodel Rikys in the book. These complement the simple and cheerful approach of the text. I especially liked the picture of the plinth in Trafalgar Square, which is on the first page of Chapter Three: Meditation is Strength. Standing strong brings both vision and gentleness .

This theme of strength and gentleness is the most important message of this book. We are shown that, by developing effective techniques of meditation, we can transform our whole approach to life, becoming a non-violnet warrior for truth .

Colum Hayward has been teaching meditation for thirty years and he has a clear understanding of the busy lifestyle of modern times, and how seemingly difficult it can be to fit a meditation practice into that.

I would strongly recommend this book to anytone who has an interest in meditation, whether they have been practising for years, or are just beginning to wonder about it. It is so gentle and unpretentious, yet so very, very wise.

Reseña del editor

Modern studies by neurologists show that what happens in the brain during meditation is unique and has the power actually to change the brain and its way of ordering experience. It also has known advantages for health. Colum Hayward takes as his starting point the clear evidence that meditation is a real form of experience and a skill, and that its regular practice can change everyone's life. He shows that by meditating you can feel safe and therefore better able to deal with others and the challenges of life. You can deal with daily existence better. He shows how you can recognize and enjoy every moment you live, from the moment you accept the new breath through to the moment you release it. He teaches you how to draw vitality from your spiritual practice and use it in life, and he points to the life that you will want to lead when your practice deepens: one that does not damage the rest of life, and rests happily coexisting with the external world. Ultimately, he says, the one who meditates knows a consciousness so strong that death loses its power and fear is no more.
