Riassunto

In this wise and refreshing little book, a former Trappist monk describes the spiritual goals and everyday rewards of meditation-an approach that “is infinitely more helpful and inspiring than the usual and expected treatises on the subject” (Publishers Weekly).

Product Description

"Meditation", says Publishers Weekly, "is back" and in this refreshingly simple but wise little book, former Trappist monk George Fowler writes eloquently and persuasively about the many benefits to be gained from it: peace, lightheartedness, self-respect, fulfillment, a deep feeling of security and wholeness, freedom from guilt about the past, release from anxiety about the future. Fowler assures readers that meditation doesn't require esoteric knowledge, a gift for concentration, a quiet temperament, or a special ambiance. He focuses on the why, rather than the how, and explains that meditation happens best when it begins with a clear focus on spiritual understanding. Once we understand the goals of meditation -- contemplative bliss and the dance of the heart -- the techniques will take care of themselves.
