How to Meditate: A Practical Guide

Gain Focus and Serenity with Easy-to-Follow Techniques from an Expert Practitioner

By Doriel Hall

Meditation sounds simple enough—sit down, be still, quiet your mind. Then your brain suddenly remembers an embarrassing thing you said twelve years ago.

How to Meditate: A Practical Guide by experienced yogi Doriel Hall offers an accessible, beautifully illustrated introduction to meditation for anyone ready to find a little more calm in the chaos. Designed for both complete beginners and those looking to deepen an existing practice, the book explores meditation techniques from around the world while helping you discover which approaches work best for you.

Hall guides readers through preparing both body and mind for meditation, incorporating practices such as controlled breathing, yogic stretching, visualization, chanting, and working with the chakras. Step-by-step exercises and photographs make the techniques approachable, while practical guidance shows how meditation can become part of everyday life rather than something reserved for perfectly silent rooms and people who somehow never get distracted.
