 Intention

 The intention for this book is to communicate Truth about what meditation truly is and how it is practiced so that it will be available to more people.  To accomplish that, it exlores many things:

• The deep roots of meditation science, and the art of its practice as taught in the 2500 year old  Yoga Sutras.

• The Truth that  hundreds of forms or 'modes' exist, serving different purposes and filling needs of different people.   There is no single "right" way.

• The common elements, or necessary ingredients, of all meditation forms.

• That a meditator can choose and use several forms, not just one, to support needs of different times and circumstances.

• The interrelationships between meditation and religion. 

• The effects and purposes of meditation in everyday living, as well as those of higher consciousness and spirituality. 

• The myths and misunderstandings about what meditation is.  Reducing the mystification and confusion. 

• The logistics and practicalities of practice.   How to actually do it.
