Undoing Yourself With Energized Meditation and Other Devices by Christopher Hyatt Average Rating: "No book on meditation does any good, of course, unless you do the meditations themselves. I've never seen any other book on meditation, though, where the exercises were so plainly and clearly laid out. Also, the meditation style is radically different from more passive and less effective forms of meditation such as the transcendental variety, and I suspect that is due to the author's background in Reichian psychology with its emphasis on "muscular armoring." Essentially, instead of working on your brain first, the "Energized Meditation" in this book seeks to get at the mind/body connection by working on your body. ..."
Hurry Up and Meditate by David Michie In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, David Michie explains the nuts and bolts of meditation.

Nine Designs for Inner Peace: The Ultimate Guide to Meditating with Color, Shape, and Sound by Sarah Tomlinson Average Rating: "Yantras: An Wonderful Experiential Introduction
Sarah Tomlinson, the author of "Nine Designs for Inner Peace: The Ultimate Guide to Meditating with Color, Shape and Sound" was born in England in 1968 and began her study of yoga at the age of 17. After completing undergraduate studies in fine art in London she relocated to New York City, where she participated in an MFA program exploring the sculptural effects of light in architecture. ..."
Lovingkindness Meditation by Sharon Salzberg Average Rating: "Highly recommended! I really enjoyed Sharon Salzburg's introduction to the Buddhist metta practice, Lovingkindness Meditation. This is more of an education/explanation of metta than guided meditation sessions (i.e., she does not have long, substantive, discrete meditation sessions, but works brief examples into her explanation), but I found the explanation so good that it gave me an excellent intro to metta, which I subsequently felt like I could practice on my own. ..."
The Kundalini Yoga Experience: Bringing Body, Mind, and Spirit Together by Dharam Singh Khalsa Average Rating: "The most outstanding quality of this excellent book is its accessibility to both the novice yoga student and the experienced teacher. It is a rare treat to find a book on Kundalini Yoga which encourages the reader to work alone if there are no expert teachers around. It does this in a safe, confident and careful manner, leading the reader through the initial stages to the final, satisfactory stages of practising this powerful yogic system. ..."
Conquest of Mind by Eknath Easwaran Average Rating: "Conquest of Mind is a beautifully poetic book, but also very meaningful and helpful. Like Freud, Eknath shows how our lives are ruled by desires and impulses. Unlike Freud, however, Eknath offers us hope, and a method, for escaping from them. His simple method for retraining the mind through meditation and thought control works for anybody, no matter what your religion is. ..."
Zen Brushwork: Focusing the Mind with Calligraphy and Painting by Tanchu Terayama Average Rating: "Ably translated into English by Thomas F. Judge and John Stevens, Zen Brushwork: Focusing The Mind With Calligraphy And Painting by Tanchu Terayama (Nishogakusha University) uses black-and-white photography to illustrate simple exercises and practices that one can follow to expand one's mind and meditation skills through the arts of calligraphy and painting -- especially as they have been practiced in Asian nations for thousands of years. ..."
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Svatmarama Average Rating: "The two best known English translations of Svatmarama's classical text on yoga from the Fifteenth Century are by Pancham Singh and Elsy Becherer. The former is 87 years old and the latter is a translation (with commentary by Hans-Ulrich Rieker) from the German, and is therefore twice removed from the original Sanskrit. ..."
Morning & Evening Meditations by Louise L. Hay Average Rating: "I use this tape at the start and end of my day regularly. On the days that I don't listen, my day just doesn't go as smoothly, and I don't fall asleep as easily. Louise Hay has a very reassuring voice and calm manner. I gave my first copy to my brother,(he is fighting cancer right now) so, I came here to replace it. ..."
