The other books I tried were all too dry and, to be honest, confusing. Mr. Ross writes in a very simple, easy to understand, and sometimes humorous manner. He strips away all the mystical language as he puts it. I really recommend this to anyone looking to try meadiitton. I bought 4 meadiitton beginner books before I found this one.

This is what meditation consists of: The most effective meditations I find require pre-planning. I suggest you find a beautiful natural spot where you won't be disturbed- for example a mountain, a cave, by a river, a cliff, a beach or of course, beneath a tree. The time doesn't matter really, though I have heard that the Dalai Lama prefers to meditate at Dawn.Wear loose, comfortable clothes, drink only water for the days before and during and the less you eat, the better (so long as you don't totally starve yourself)- especially avoid meat. Just before you prepare to start, have a cool shower or something first, go to the toilet, blow your nose, and turn off that phone!Make sure you are mentally ready, not tired or feeling excessive emotion/excitement, as these can be big obstacles to your session.Begin by burning a stick of incense and saying a prayer to the Buddhas and innumerable Bodhisattvas, requesting for the meditation to be fruitful, and for all positive karma to be dedicated to the attainment of enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.Find a position which is comfortable for you- I find that half-lotus is best for beginners and full lotus for the advanced, place your upright hands softly on your lap, right hand above the left, and press your thumbs together gently, which forms a beautiful lotus shape (your spirit is preparing to rise from the muddy depths and flower into its full potential).Move about for a while until you find your most comfortable, settled position (you can use a cushion or pillow if you find that helps), then straighten your back as upright as you can (without stress/force)- this will keep your mind alert and awake: it's important that you maintain a good posture, and you should check it every now and then. Raise your head as though you were balancing a book on top of it, and pull your chin slightly in and down towards your neck. Put your tongue to the roof of your mouth.Now prepare your breath- breathe in deep through your nose so it goes right down to your stomach, and then breathe out through your nose, this will slow your breath (at a pace that suits you). Allow your eyelids to lower almost all the way and start counting your breathes like so: Breathing in 1 Breathing out 2 Breathing in 3 Breathing out 4 and so on until you reach 10, and then start over. It is natural to become distracted, so when distracting thoughts come, become aware of them, let them go and start over again from 1. I suggest you do this for around 20-30 minutes before you begin the actual meditation (this may seem like meditation, but it isn't).Then stop counting your breathes, just focus on the natural sensation, like so: Breathing in I know I am breathing in .Breathing out I know I am breathing out . Breathing in deeper I know I am breathing in Breathing out slower I know I am breathing out . I must emphasize that you shouldn't be controlling or forcing your breaths, they should be naturally occurring.If you continue this for another 30-60 minutes you will feel very calm and focused.When the time is right, stop thinking Focus on the sole sensation of the air moving inside and outside of you. Your breath may even seem to stop altogether when you get deep into this point.When you decide to finish, be very gentle with yourself and move very slowly, have a light stretch and don't try standing up right away. It's likely that you will have lost most of the sensations in your body.If you continue this practice, hopefully you will experience your first absorption (Dhyana) in time. It is not easy, and if you do not right away- please don't feel disheartened, keep practicing. I promise you it will be worth it, the first Dhyana is not unlike a beautiful calm wave of euphoria which lasts for hours, if not days, and it brings other benefits which will certainly transcend the meditation session- such as the wisdom of discernment.I strongly recommend that you read up on the 4 Dhyanas so you will know what to expect when they are attained: As I am a long-time Buddhist practitioner I was colpemled to aid a request to describe and explain what is all about, I wrote a manual’ for single-pointed , which I consider to be the most effective meditation (I have had my best results doing this), as follows and it’s rather detailed.
