Book Reviews of Opening to Meditation: A Gentle, Guided Approach (Book & CD)
Book Review: An answer on every page
Summary: 5 Stars
I have often wondered why people meditate, what the advantages and benefits are, why so many people do this thing? On literally every page of this book, I found an answer to that question. I am thrilled to learn about the concrete results I could get from daily meditation, even if I only spend five minutes a day. I suspect this is old wisdom, brought to us in the clear, simple, and very accessible voice of a gifted teacher. Diana Lang reached me with this book. She helped me understand the benefits to myself, to my relationships, and to the world, when I care enough to be deeply and quietly with myself on a regular basis. Do I want a fresh perspective on an old problem? Yes. Would I prefer to be calm when things around me are in flux? Of course. Can I have a life of more consciousness and awareness of this present moment? Yes, I want that. Diana says that the "energetic apparatus you build by meditating will absolutely change the way your life works", and I trust her.
You know how people sometimes ask a heavy question and then say "explain it to me like I was a four-year-old"? Clearly, Diana has that incredible ability, to cut through the big ideas and get to the essence of the message, to the heart of the matter. I thank you for writing this book, for explaining the why and the how of meditation, for giving me permission to only do it five minutes a day if I feel like it, for reminding me that I can meditate even when I'm washing my car or walking through the mall. I give this book to friends who are opening up to the idea of meditation. I feel it can change the world.
It is said that when you connect to a teacher through her writings, you open a direct avenue to her. Read this book and let Diana reach you where you are. It's worth it.
