Meditation

I am trying to learn how to meditate. I've made efforts before, kept it going for some time and then have given up due to lack of guidance and not knowing what was the best way of going about it. I am back on the meditation track again - thanks to some inspiring books and people. In this context, here's something I need to pass on for all those who are into meditation or trying to get on to it! Stumbled upon a small pocket book on meditation that is fascinating; It is called 'Meditation is easy' and the author is Greer Allica. Try and get yourself a copy of this book. It is quite a cool read and surely motivates one to start meditating. Some techniques that are shared through the book are fascinating and fulfilling...

Every page in the book is exciting. But here's one sample for you -

Create a scene in nature that is real or imagined, or both. It could be a
meadow. Place yourself in it. Don't observe it. Visualize every detail, and use
your inner senses to bring it alive. Make it a special - a place of refuge. Know
that you can return to the meadow often.
