I take an interest in meditation and already own some books on the subject, which is why I was interested in this.

This was a fairly short but informative and interesting read. For anyone interested in taking up meditation, this book may tell them everything they need to know. The information is detailed but easy to understand. The book explains exactly what meditation is, talks about the different types of meditations, and has exercises to try out. If you'd like to try mediation, but you're not sure how to go about it, you may find this book very useful.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

Really interesting to read about the different positions for meditating - i always thought it didn't matter which way you do it as long as you're doing it. That is true, but each position has different benefits too.

Really enjoyed trying some of them out,some I'm going to keep doing - remember for another day when I need to centre myself.

This book is short and practical. It goes through the basics, such as different poses, and offers several ways to meditate.
I've been reading a lot of books about meditation because honestly, I should be meditating instead. This one is good if you are getting started or if you want to expand on your current practice. I love how it said that meditation is different for everyone.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

An interesting overview of all of the different techniques you can. put to use for meditation. I enjoyed that it showed such a span, clearly highlighting that there are many different ways and it's about finding what works for you. On a personal level, I definitely need an audioguide of some sort so a book didn't quite cut it. But for more understanding, it was beneficial.

This is a really concise overview of introductory meditation techniques. I enjoyed that the content was accessible and easy to comprehend, but was expecting some more advanced techniques since this is marketed as the only meditation book someone would ever need.
