The Meditator's Guidebook

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

                This valuable guide explains the basic process which is initiated when someone seriously begins to learn meditation in any tradition or with any technique. Whether the objective is relaxation, enlightenment, or union with the Divine, the three most obvious results of meditation can be summarized as calmness, power, and insight. Together, they represent the refinement and development of our physical, emotional, and intellectual levels of being.

                Lucy Oliver's experience with meditation has been over 40 years. She describes with precision the benefits and pitfalls of meditation and distinguishes it from trance, hypnosis, reflection, or visualization. She clarifies the basic techniques and principles involved in the skill of meditation and shows how sustained practice can unlock our innate creativity. Just as nourishment is assimilated by the body and transformed in the process of physical growth, meditation is a catalyst for transforming the substance of life in our consciousness and deepening our contact with the creative dimension of existence.
