How To Meditate: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Art and Science of Meditation [ILLUSTRATED]

This was the meditation guide that resonated much better with my Vata mind. It gave clear practical advice and was very easy for me to understand. It also provided information on chakras, in which I am interested . The occasional information/words of wisdom from Paramhansa Yogananda didn't bother me, even though I am not a follower, but I concede it could irritate someone with no interest in spiritual training.

The book gives an overview of what meditation is, and introduces different techniques for both preparing for, and following through with it. The presentation of the techniques is rather clear with pictures present, so I give the book points for that. However what bothered me about a large part of the book was how spiritual, and thus hard to understand, a lot of the advise was. While the book doesn't advertise itself as being scientific, this was something I would've hoped for, so thus it left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth. I would stll recommend the book for anyone interested in basic overview of the meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques. The book is not very long, so reading it is not a huge commitment either.
