NATURAL MEDITATION

In NATURAL MEDITATION, meditation expert Dean Sluyter places the myriad health and wellness benefits of regular meditation at your fingertips, with the simple, intuitive meditation techniques presented in this new volume.

The key is effortlessness. Whether you’re a complete novice or you’ve “tried it before,” if you can breathe you can meditate. Guided by veteran teacher Dean Sluyter’s easy-going, down-to-earth approach, you’ll test-drive a variety of meditative “vehicles,” such as breath, sound, the senses, the sky, and the simple sense of “I,” and discover which ones fit you best. You’ll find all the practical tips you need for adapting these methods to your daily life, even for a few minutes a day on the subway or in an office cubicle. And as your life opens to deep happiness, clarity, peace, and creative energy, you’ll be inspired to keep on practicing—naturally.

Throw out every idea you think you know about meditation—including that it can only be learned in expensive classes, that it requires achieving a completely “blank” mind, or that it can only be done properly by people who can check off certain spiritual prerequisites.

In fact, Dean Sluyter, who has been teaching meditation since 1970, says all we need to utilize the life-changing properties of meditation is already inside us. Meditation is a natural state where we simply connect with the awareness that exists inside us all, and achieving that state is easier than you ever dared hope.

Here Sluyter offers tips, history, and philosophy for those interested in connecting with their inner selves in the simplest way possible—with NATURAL MEDITATION.

Dean Sluyter is the author of The Zen Commandments and Why the Chicken Crossed the Road.
