Natural Meditation:A Guide to Effortless Meditative Practiceby Dean SluyterEnglish | 2015 | 272 pages | Retail EPUB | 1 MBhttp://www.amazon.com/Natural-Meditation-Effortless-Meditati…There’s no trying in meditation.If you can breathe, you can meditate. Just as water naturally runs downhill and leaves float naturally to the ground, we are all naturally able to settle into meditation. Meditation doesn’t require trying; rather, meditation comes out of just allowing—not doing, just being.Whether you’re a complete novice or you’ve “tried it before,” veteran meditation teacher Dean Sluyter’s relaxed, down-to-earth approach will help you test-drive a variety of meditative techniques, such as breath, sound, the senses, the sky, and the simple sense of “I,” and discover which ones fit you best. You’ll discover that the key to meditation is effortlessness, and find all the practical tips you need for adapting these methods to your own life, as you live it, even for a few minutes a day. And as your life opens to deep happiness, clarity, peace, and creative energy, you’ll be inspired to keep on practicing—naturally.Amazon: 5.0/5.0 out of 31 reviews:Amazon reviewer wrote:Don’t know anything about meditation? Dean Sluyter’s Natural Meditation is the book for you! Been practicing meditation for years? Dean Sluyter’s Natural Meditation is the book for you! Sluyter has been practicing and teaching meditation for years, and his humorous and accessible style of writing will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading. I loved his earlier book Cinema Nirvana and was thrilled to find out he had a new book out. If you want to hear from an expert and be thoroughly entertained along the way Natural Meditation is the book for you! Amazon reviewer wrote:I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone who wants to try meditation or is looking for a different viewpoint to meditation… or really just life in general. Sluyter teaches you that the water can be pretty turbulent from above, but all we really need to do is just sink a few feet below the surface and suddenly everything is a whole lot calmer. Sluyter encourages meditation *everywhere*. I know you’re thinking that you wouldn’t be able to meditate while sitting at your cubicle during a busy Monday morning. Truth be told, I meditate at work for what seems like hours all because of this book.I’m able to relax and be present in this very moment.Once I finish this book, I’m probably just going to read it over and over and over again. Please try this. Life altering stuff. Amazon reviewer wrote:Dean Sluyter has made meditation available to everyone. He has used a common sense approach to an ancient art. Through very short exercises he has created a doorway that even the busiest, most harried among us can use to create islands of calm in our otherwise hectic lives. He has shown us that we can all meditate, that large chunks of time are not necessary to develop a practice, and that meditation isn’t some mysterious process that requires years of training and huge blocks of time. I plan to recommend this book to several friends who are having a hard time getting their meditation practice started!
