Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook
About This Book
Ram Dass's practical guide to meditation — covering the basic principles of meditation practice, the different types of meditation available from various traditions, the common obstacles and pitfalls, and how to find a teacher and a community that supports genuine development. Written with the characteristic Ram Dass warmth and humour, it is accessible to beginners while containing genuine depth for the more experienced.
What You'll Learn
The purpose of meditation is not to achieve special states but to change the quality of every moment of consciousness — to transform the practitioner rather than create temporary peaks of experience. No single form of meditation is right for everyone — the best practice is the one that genuinely quiets the mind and opens the heart, whatever tradition it comes from. Community of practice (sangha) is not optional — the loneliness and self-deception of the solitary path can be avoided through honest relationship with other genuine seekers.
