Meditation 101, a clear, concise and user-friendly guide for beginning meditators of all persuasions, is full of helpful details, hints and approaches not usually contained in standard meditation texts. When I began meditating back in 1968, and began exploring various meditation traditions, I always wanted to know the "why" behind those traditions—the physiology and purpose of sitting in meditation; the relationship between the physical and mental experience; the relationship of each meditation technique to the spiritual tradition which taught it; the relationship of meditation to "real life." Along the way, every time I found a tidbit of learning (whether from actual experience, from the words or actions of a teacher or from a specific text) which created an "aha!" moment of clarity and discovery, I made a note of it to share and compare with other meditators. When Jay Herdt asked me to write this book, what I put into it was the cream of those practical suggestions, useful quotes, clarifying metaphors and relevant bits of scientific information—potent words and ideas which have not only helped me stick to a meditation practice for over three decades, but have shown me (and others) the way to real moments of understanding. This is the book I wish I'd had thirty years ago! The language in which Meditation 101 is presented is clear, humorous, specific and non-patronizing. The final section of the book is a compendium of helpful hints on such things as timing meditation, figuring out how long to sit, what to do if you fall asleep, meditation courtesy, information about practices such as walking meditation and chanting, etc. The meditation teachers quoted throughout the text are identified, not by religious or spiritual affiliation, but only by name and function (teacher, author, artist, etc.). A complete bibliography of all texts and individuals quoted is provided at the end of the book.
