Beyond the Breath, Extraordinary Mindfulness Through Whole Body Vipassana Meditation by Marshall Glickman |
meditation and meditaterelax and relaxationBeyond the Breath is one of the first books to give a complete introduction to sensation based vipassana meditation, which many practitioners believe to be the method used by Buddha over 2,500 years ago. Marshall Glickmans approach is unique, he examines a meditation practice deeply rooted within a historic Buddhist framework and provides us with a modern day, scientific explanation. He presents meditation and Buddhist principles in contemporary language, making ideas that can sound archaic or exotic accessible and easy to understand. This form of meditation provides a way to experience emotions directly and nonverbally assessing and exploring the mind through body sensations. But one of the main principles of sensation based vipassana meditation is that meditation practice is not enough, on its own, to trigger spiritual development. The practitioner must also develop a whole life and ethical commitment. Glickmans passion for the topic, as well as his great understanding of Buddhist concepts, make this a fascinating and inspiring read.
