The Posture of Meditation
by Will Johnson
Whenit comes to meditation practices, the body is as important as the mind—a factthat may come as a surprise to the many people who regard meditation as astrictly mental activity. But, as Will Johnson shows, the physical aspect ofthe practice is far too often underemphasized. The alert-yet-relaxed sittingposture that is the common denominator of so many meditative techniques is awonderful aid for clearing the mind and opening the heart, but it also works toactivate the natural healing energies of both body and mind. The author offersguidance and exercises for working with the posture of meditation and advice onhow to carry its benefits on into all the rest of life.
