Book Reviews of Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide
Book Review: A good introduction to the subject of Jewish Meditation
Summary: 5 Stars
The first part of this book is a well- written introduction to the subject of Jewish Meditation including a historical survey of the subject. The second part consists in describing and evaluating various meditation techniques. As I do not 'meditate' myself I cannot be a proper judge of how effective the second part of the work is. The first part did however give me some understanding of what I understand to be a subject one must really ' experience' to know.Book Review: Definitive Book on Jewish Meditation
Summary: 5 Stars
Aryeh Kaplan was a rare individual. A Jewish scholar taken from us too early. If you get the chance take a look at his biography. This is one of his better books and the best book on Jewish meditation. Nothing comes close. Oddly enough, it is also a book that I think would have great appeal to anyone who is not Jewish or perhaps not even that relegious. This book has a lot of pleasant surprises. Enjoy and learn.Book Review: Profound overview of meditation techniques
Summary: 5 Stars
This book describes the essence of most of the meditation techniques I've come across while trying out meditation. The techniques are described in a jewish context, but the insightful and profound truths are valid for meditation in general. I particularly enjoyed the chapter "Nothingness", which shed new light on a Rudolf Steiner meditation I have practised.Book Review: this is a must for every christian.
Summary: 5 Stars
This should be read by anyone who is interested in the spiritual life, regardless of what relegion she or he belongs to. The states one can attain through meditation described in this book is foreign to this Western civilization that we scratch around. Consequently, the book is facisinating, yet, in a good way, bizarre.Book Review: Jewish Meditation a practical guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased to recomend this book to anyone interested in meditation. It is easy to read and gives you an overview of the meditation process that is very helpful. Basic Knowledge is not needed for reading this book. The process is explained in simple yet elegant language.
