The question whether meditation can be learnt by book has been raised many times. Many people are of the opinion that Meditation can not be learnt from a book and a real teacher is required. Though I agree that the presence and guidance of a real teacher can be of immense help in our meditation practice, it\u2019s not very difficult to meditate from a book also. This website (Meditation is Easy.com) is also a sort of online book and thousands of people have learnt meditation from various meditation articles and techniques mentioned on this website.<\/p>\n
In my opinion meditation is a journey of our inner self. A journey, which we all have to travel alone. A teacher or a book, no matter how effective they are, can only provide you guidance to a certain extent. Ultimately, you\u2019ll have to sit and meditate by your own. Your progress depends upon how honest you have been in your meditation practice.<\/p>\n
Books on meditation, however, can be of great help for beginners. When somebody has just started out, when he doesn\u2019t know even about the alphabets of meditation, a book can be of real help to him.<\/p>\n
There are certain points, however, which we should consider while reading a meditation book. First thing is that we should not be impressed by the book just because it is written by a famed authority. I have seen many books on meditation by famed author that have no value in them. I have also seen many books written by almost unknown persons with great insight of meditation.<\/p>\n
The rule of thumb is to decide whether a particular book on meditation helps you find some inner peace in within.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
