When it comes to meditation practices, the body is as important as the mind—a fact that may come as a surprise to the many people who regard meditation as a strictly mental activity. But, as Will Johnson shows, the physical aspect of the practice is far too often underemphasized. The alert-yet-relaxed sitting posture that is the common denominator of so many meditative techniques is a wonderful aid for clearing the mind and opening the heart, but it also works to activate the natural healing energies of both body and mind. The author offers guidance and exercises for working with the posture of meditation and advice on how to carry its benefits on into all the rest of life. Will Johnson writes a wonderful book on the posture of meditation, and in the process delves into the act of meditation itself. Three gestures - alignment, relaxation, and resilience, combine to form a stable, relaxed, and open form capable of simply being aware. There are occasions where he describes patterns of sensations similar to that of insight meditation, which I found very understanding of the process. With my personal introductory experience with the Alexander Technique I've found this book to be extremely useful and complementary. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
