This is one of those books that I return to over the years - but even more so, it is one of those books I keep giving away, and buying again. Whenever I see a copy I buy it, because, I know I'll come to a point where I want to give it away again. The gentlest, wisest intro to self-reflection and mediation. I subsequently read all of Levine's other work, but this one is a classic - he reached beyond himself and pulled through some wisdom that cannot be out done. Enjoy, rest in it; sit. #9, 2006 Wow, this is a fantastic book on Vipassana meditation. Funny story as to why I read it now – a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to read something on meditation, having recently started a practice again. So, I was looking on my shelves for "It's Easier Than You Think," which I remember as being a good book. But in looking, this book caught my eye, and I thought, "Hmnh. What is that? I didn't remember buying it, and I wasn't sure what it was about based on the title." So, I pulled it out, and, well, lookie here! It's about meditation! Well, if that's not a sign, I don't know what is. Turns out I must have read at least parts of it before, since a couple of the pages were dogeared, but I don't remember much of it at all. It's a wonderful book, with lots of discussion on Vipassana (or mindfulness) meditation, and a few guided meditations to try, as well. Plus there's lots of general spiritual guidance here. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to meditate, or go deeper with their practice. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
