Arguably the best course on how to meditate
The Insight Meditation course on meditation is a complete guide to understanding and developing a meditation practice. The kit consists of a workbook guide providing written instruction with clearly written and understandable text, pictures, and questions with area for written answers which all work together to engage in understanding and developing your meditation. With so much attention being paid towards mindfulness, the meditation guide shows how the modern interpretation and craze over mindfulness began with meditation. The kit also includes a small set of flash cards containing various parts of Buddhist fundamentals like the Noble Eight Fold Path as well as concise points like the Seven Points of Posture. The cards are useful as focus points when developing your meditation practice based on Buddhist principals, principals being the key point here in that any religious context has been put aside and the Buddhism presented here is done so in a secular, moral, philosophical, and logical context. Lastly, the kit contains 2 CD's with 3 guided meditations on each, covering breath meditation, walking meditation, body sensations, hinderances, emotions, and metta. This course covers all of the basics on how to develop your own meditation practice and provides the fundamentals of how to meditate and why you should without being overwhelming or too sparse. Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein have provided everything anyone could need to learn to meditate. The only thing missing is your own motivation and desire to do it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
