Meditation Techniques: A Practical Guide

A practical beginner's guide that clears the television image first: you don't have to be a monk or have a special place, a living room, a parked car, or a bench all work. Every version does the same quiet thing, removes obstructive and wandering thoughts so the mind is ready for better thought.

Gives the complete setup: the body in a comfortable position, the space and the quiet, picking an anchor and returning to it as the engine every technique runs on, and a beginner body-scan routine that works on day one. Includes the mistake of waiting for the mind to go quiet.
