Why I Meditate: Reflections of a Neural Surfer - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this partially autobiographical book, Professor David Christopher Lane, Ph.D., a long-time skeptic of religion and the paranormal, explains why he meditates and why he believes it is extremely beneficial to human well-being. Includes a detailed section on how to meditate using an ancient technique called shabd yoga (listening to the inner sound) without resorting to mythological concepts. or overlays. Excerpt from the book, "Meditation is a present [yes, the pun is intended], since in the Darwinian struggle for existence it is rare for Homo sapiens to have freedom from the day-to-day demands of making a living. Just as being bored is a privilege only accorded to those who have sufficient time and resources not to be obligated by overwhelming individual or social needs. To be able to sit still for a set duration of time and not be distracted by outer wants and needs is a precious opportunity. I find myself lucky to be able to indulge in such a wondrous adventure."
