The Diamond Color Meditation: Color Pathway to the Soul

by John Diamond

Average Rating:

"The Diamond Color Meditation is a revolutionary approach to meditation by one of the world's great pioneers of holoistic medicine. It is deceptively simple, so much so that I believe most anyone could do it and benefit. It certainly does not require any previous experience of meditation and, indeed, is very different from the usual "passive" Eastern-derived approach. ..."

Brush Meditation: A Japanese Way to Mind & Body Harmony

by H. E. Davey

Average Rating:

"I've been interested in Japanese painting and also brush writing for quite a few years. At the same time, I've also been fascinated by the idea of art as meditation. While I've read quite a few books that vaguely discuss how Japanese calligraphy is supposed to be "moving meditation," H. ..."

OSHO Compassion: The Ultimate Flowering of Love (Osho: Insights for a New Way of Living)

by Osho

Average Rating:

"The Zen monks have a tea ritual whereas one is totally immersed in the moment sipping tea with full awareness, sipping a little bit at a time, enjoying the flavor, enjoying the aroma. I recommend that you treat this book as such, reading a few pages at a time so you can absorb the insights a little bit at a time, giving yourself time to truly appreciate what Osho has to say. ..."

Retrieve Your Destiny: Living the Soul's Path

by Kelly Howell

Average Rating:

"Like another Howell reviewer, I found Kelly's diction amateurish and irritating. She should hire a professional to do the reading.
I also do not enjoy having questions planted through the guided meditation, instead of leading you to ask your own questions (the story is full of "and you wonder . ..."

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living (The Complete Idiot's Guide)

by Gary McClain

Average Rating:

"I have been studying Zen off and on for years but was continually frustrated by the relentless obscurantism. On several occasions I asked questions on Zen newsgroups and was disappointed when people would answer my questions with riddles. Also, when I asked a Zen Roshi to answer some questions (even offering to pay him for his time) I found myself railroaded into taking his beginner's course a second time! ..."
