An internationally acclaimed authority on meditation, psychotherapy and healing provides unique and valuable insights into the principles underlying all forms of meditation. Naranjo's lucid and inspiring exploration places sacred thought within the framework of modern psychology clarifying ancient wisdom for the contemporary seeker and mediator. His brilliant elucidation of the four types of meditation (not-doing, letting-go, mindfulness, and God-mindedness) will be useful and enlightening for anyone pursuing spiritual practice. Incorporating original insights and scientific research along with inspiring passages from many traditions, Naranjo shows that all meditative disciplines provide us with important lessons not only in how to meditate, but in 'how to be'.
