The what and why of meditation generally are discussed, with emphasis on helping each reader discover what particular type of mediator he or she is. Disciplines grounded in Buddhism, Tantrism, Taoism, and Islam are included, as are contemplative prayer, Quaker worship, and shamanism. "Shaking meditation free from the stereotypical image of crossed legs, closed eyes, and bamboo mat" (Natural Health magazine), here are drumming, trance dancing, yoga, mindfulness, labyrinth walking, gardening, and even needle crafts - all explored in a spirit that invites and instructs novice, devotee, and healing professional alike. How to choose an approach? The authors ask questions that steer readers toward options that match their habits, preferences, and needs"--  |c Provided by publisher.
