Description
Why We Meditate is a practical guide to meditation based on scientific research and ancient Buddhist practices.
In this modern digital age, many of us feel overwhelmed, panicked, and exhausted. The practice of meditation is an antidote to that frenzied feeling.
Using scientific research to explain the benefits of ancient practices, this book provides readers with an empirically sound and time-proven set of mental exercises. These exercises will help readers overcome destructive emotions and patterns of behaviour, bringing inner peace and focus to their lives.
Practical and accessible, faithful to enduring traditions yet innovatively modern, these easy-to-follow techniques will benefit both experienced meditators and novices alike. The book explains the wonders of meditation in a way never seen before.
