It is extremely profound and practical. I would love to hear your impressions.<br /><br />Actually I am attaching his book here.<br /><p class="attachment"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8191566100,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank">DanielIngram.pdf</a></p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/groups/TheMeditators/forum/topics/meditation-essence-purpose 2010-05-07T13:11:33.000Z 2010-05-07T13:11:33.000Z Justin Lovenow https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/JustinLovenow <div>By this thread I invite you to explore further the Essence &amp; Purpose &amp; Definition (Meaning &amp; Intention) of meditation.Please share your experience from learning practicing meditation, why and how you do it, and what purpose does meditation have in your life.</div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/groups/TheMeditators/forum/topics/style-of-meditation 2009-10-21T10:36:37.000Z 2009-10-21T10:36:37.000Z sandra winterdawn https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/sandrawinterdawn <div>When i meditate i always have some question, problem, experience, that i meditate on. i never try to just clear my mind, for me this has never worked. also i have a friend who alays oes open eye meditation.how do u guys meditate</div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/groups/TheMeditators/forum/topics/a-path-with-heart 2009-08-04T07:40:21.000Z 2009-08-04T07:40:21.000Z Shanti☮ https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/Shanti <div>I know there is already a readers group, but thought it would be useful on here to recommend books suitable to meditation.I have just finished a beautiful book that I highly recommend to anyone on this path!<b>A 'Path with heart'</b> is written by <i>Jack Kornfield</i> who is a teacher, former budhist monk, clinical psychologist and meditation master. He talks about his personal, practical wisdom, garnered from 25 years of practicing and teaching the path of awakening, and guides self-searchers to a simplicity of perception that brings alive spiritual practice, peace, and truth in their daily lives. He truly brings Eastern wisdom in a practical way to our Western lives.He has incorporated psychotherapy with meditation and although from a buddhist basis, it is not so much about buddhism but about our spitiul lives in general and how to live them with more heart. But it ultimatley returns to the importance of meditation.I found it a very inspiring book and would love to read more from this author! (After the ecstasy the laundry, The art of forgiveness, loving kindness and peace, The wise heart).Has any of you read this book or any others by him?♥ ☮ ♥</div>
