I must say that I was very gratified to see this book back in print,(it was previously published onder the title of "Meditation and Human Growth"). What I particlarly like about this book is it's varied approach to the subject of meditation. Within it's pages one will find meditation rechniques that will fit into almost any spiritual system, whether enlightenment oriented or magickal. It's very seldom that one sees a book of such wide scope. Usually books on meditation are of the"one size fits all" catagory, being aimed at the practitioners of a certain system. The meditation techniques in this book range from the more well known varieties to meditations on nature, emotional energies, chakras, and colors, along with many more, enough to fulfill the needs of any practitioner. The writing style is easy and personal, with clear explainations throughout. Highly recommended!
