The Power of Guided Meditation

I found this to be a useful and readable primer on mindful,practice. I can definitely see recommending this to folks interesting in learning about and/or deepening their practice.

An excellent and informative guide to meditation, suitable for both novices and experienced practitioners. Well written, with clear instructions, it's ideal for anyone wanting to get into meditation.

I have trouble calming my mind enough to meditate but recently I have embarked on a journey of self-discovery and improvement. This means, reconnecting with my spirituality, and that in turn means meditation.

Thank you so much for the chance to read this amazing resource! I will have to buy a physical copy. I believe this is a wonderful tool for both novices and experienced meditators. The way the book is split is very helpful and I feel helps the reader to properly digest the information.

This book really explains how our brains work and what benefits we can have by meditating. Truly an incredible book!

The Power of Guided Meditation is one of the more helpful books I’ve run across. It has always been a struggle for me to understand proper meditation as my brain is typically anywhere but where I’d like it to be, but this book is incredibly helpful in explaining things in a way that makes perfect sense. I will 100% be utilizing this book to help in my journey of meditation, mindfulness, and other self-help type things.

Thanks so much to Jessica Crow, DK Publishing, and NetGalley for an eBook edition of this book to read and review honestly.

A great, easy to understand book on meditation that can be of use to beginners and experts alike. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

The Power of Guided Meditation by Jessica Crow is a nonfiction guidebook on how to begin a meditation practice. Crow divides the book into three parts and provides numerous meditation practices aimed at beginners. As someone who already meditates, I found this book very informative and it gave me new meditation ideas to try out. The book is set up similar to audio guided meditation, and Crow suggests recording yourself reading the meditation “script” and listening to it during your practice. I thought this would be too distracting, and decided to try the meditations through memory of the passage. It definitely did the job, but I feel that it would be better to be guided through the process step by step rather than trying to remember each step. For this reason, I think the best experience of this book would be as an audiobook. I don’t think there is an audiobook available for this book as of yet, but whenever there is definitely check that out. If you are more of a meditation newbie, I would try out guided meditation podcasts or apps like Headspace or Calm before venturing into the examples in this book. I recommend this book for people that are interested in meditation and want a way to further their practice. Rating: ⅘
