Book Reviews of Meditation Made Easy
Book Review: Filled with very helpful and comforting information
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the audio version and I have just about worn out my cassette. Recently I had begun focusing on my breathing in a very concentrated way and began to experience a great deal of anger.(rage) I began listening to my "Meditation Made Easy" again and have gotten back into a much more relaxed approach. Now I understand some things Mr Roche was saying that I hadn't fully understood before. Also there is an unbeleivable amount of useful information given. I recommend the book or cassette to anyone who wants help in knowing how to approach meditation.Book Review: Great ! ! !

This book helped me meditate. It has some great techniques and they were all easy to do. There were moments when I wanted to burn the book, and no I didn't, but sometimes it was just too boring. All in all, this is agreat book if you want to learn to meditate. It helped me alot!Book Review: It's not about discipline...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about wanting to meditate! How liberating! This book is full of practical, inspiring, easy, and approachable advice on how to ease into meditation and make doing it regularily attainable.Book Review: Meditation Made Too Easy
Summary: 3 Stars
Meditation Made Easy was very well written, organized and with both humor and clear examples of how to meditate. The problem I had with the book was how Mr. Roche continually made it seem like we were already meditating by many of the things we do in our everyday lives----such as daydreaming or contemplation. I think there is some truth to what he says, but too often he made it sound like no effort is needed to meditate. From 30 years of various forms of meditation I know that in fact it does take effort----a lot of effort. However, in Mr. Roche's defense, I think what he had to say, overall, will enable those who are interested in meditation to at least get started.Book Review: Meditation Practices for People Who Think It's Difficult or Weird
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a conservative who happens to practice yoga and meditation. Yoga for over 10 years; meditation for about 7. They are practices, so I like to read some new material now and then because it's good to learn more about the things you do. Could be cooking or decorating, too, right?
I started as a closet meditator, because it was difficult for folks to deal with the stereotype. I've come to enjoy and look forward to my meditation practice more and more over time. I'm sleeping the best I ever have thanks to meditation practice. Still, occasionally one feels the need to seek out the new and different, so I read a lot about meditation too.
The book is part discussion, part exercises. The discussion material tells the reader flat out that you don't have to play by anyone's rules to meditate. The tone is conversational. It's almost like having a teacher at my side. The exercises cover a wide range of techniques - there's a lot of creativity, and something for everybody. From breathing to mantra to pause-at-the-door, numerous tips for getting yourself into a meditative state are presented. My star off 5 is because no one is going to find all these useful. Some are filler.
If you haven't tried meditation, even if you don't plan to meditate, it wouldn't hurt to read this book because you can get an idea of why people meditate. Don't take my word for it, take Roche's. Meditation doesn't have to be weird, scary, or hard to do. This is a good book for getting started. This is also worthy material for the seasoned meditator, even if you don't always agree with the author.
