In Opening to Meditation, Diana Lang demonstrates that meditation is as simple as breathing. There is no mystery to it. Her pleasant, straightforward guidance makes meditation available to all. Along the way, she shows us the numerous benefits to be gained from meditation, and she writes and speaks beautifully about breathing, acceptance, intention, and the power of love. Her approach is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition; it is designed to be practice by anyone, anywhere. In her inspirational manner she simply explains the purpose and benefits of meditation in our busy lives.
With her wide experience in studying spiritual teachings from around the world, and her ability to explain abstract ideas in a way that is easy to understand, Lang has put together a high-level approach to meditation that is very easy to do. Diana believes that spirituality can be easy. She demystifies the subjects and gives practical tools and simple applications so that the new student can have a powerful experience, right away. Her remarkably simple and direct explanations allow people of all levels to achieve the well-being and heightened awareness that the experience of meditation offers.
Originally published as a book and CD set, this is a new edition in paperback with downloadable audio meditations. Includes a preface that describes the many beneficial ways readers have used the words and audio.
Readers have not only learned to meditate from this book - and seen their lives begin to bloom - but also used the audio in daily life, from soothing pre-test anxiety and insomnia (their own or their children's), to finding peace during MRI scans and before, during, and after surgery, and even while standing in line at the DMV.
