Meditation: Achieving Inner Peace and Tranquility in Your Life
Meditation is a technique that can be used to experience peace, tranquility, and an inner beauty, leading us to rethink everything around us, even ourselves. It prompts us to trust in the ability we have to use and direct our energies to purify our bodies and minds...so that we can discover and develop our spirituality.
Brian Weiss, M.D., author of Many Lives, Many Masters, has written a very special book to help with the practice of meditation (a CD is also included to help guide you through the process). Meditation: Achieving Inner Peace and Tranquility in Your Life includes the techniques Dr. Weiss uses on his patients, many of whom have conquered insomnia anxiety, phobias, weight issues, and disease. Meditation can also lower blood pressure, strengthen the immunological system, and reduce stress.
As Dr. Weiss says, "It all starts by closing your eyes, relaxing our muscles, and showing down our breathing. Little bye little, we ask our minds to block out the clamoring voices that usually bombard it... This means living this moment intensely, letting go, and surrendering." This book is the first step on a more peaceful, relaxing journey through life.

About the author
Brian L. Weiss
61 books2,157 followersAs a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from "the space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss's family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

Mas que un libro de meditación cuenta su experiencia sobre casos que ha tenido, personas a las que les ha recomendado y ayudado con meditación. Habla de un CD transcrito que ayuda a meditar( está en el último capítulo).
Lectura rápida, solo es una charla con la experiencia del Dr. No contiene información, teoría ni nada más. Lo sentí mas como propaganda o una invitación a sus consultas y terapias.

The book was nice but I really like the CD. It is sometimes difficult to quiet the noise in my head when meditating. I find the guided meditation included with the book helpful.

Everyone should get this cd/book. A great start for someone who is trying to learn to relax in life.

Big things come in small packages
Merely believing that we are spiritual beings beyond the limits of time and space heals and soothes. Thank you Dr. Weiss for making us see ourselves from this perspective.
This concise guided meditation book holds the key to a limitless expanse of bliss.

Me gustó, me pareció muy interesante pero creo que es un complemento de la versión en CD pero igual funciona. Es importante dedicarnos un espacio para nosotros mismos y desconectarnos de todo aquello que nos aqueja para poder alcanzar la paz, aunada a la tranquilidad y felicidad que todos deseamos...

The section on spiritual connection is most interesting. I don’t know that he added anything more than I already knew, but it did renew my interest in trying to meditate some (and his audio meditation is on YouTube so that’s helpful since my library ebook didn’t include it and only had a transcript).
3.5/5

Me encanta el trabajo que realiza Brian Weiss, la relación entre la sanación y el poder de la meditación, incluso el poder llegar a un estado de regresión. Ya quiero implementarlo y que sea parte de mi vida.

I love this book, it not only teach how to meditate, it also shows you the benefits of meditation, the author experiences with it and how it changed lots of people´s lifes, all written in a magnificent way. I give it 5 stars.

The book is a mere excuse for the CD which is great as a basic meditation exercise if you are planning on trying some meditation by yourself. Book doesn’t offer anything new from his other books that I highly recommend.

Esta bueno, pero creo que tenía expectativas muy altas, habla en mayor parte sobre los beneficios de la meditación, mejor les recomiendo entrar a la página de la fundación y comprar la meditación guiada.

I found this on the side of the road. It did not have the CD with it but it was relatively short. If I had to break it down, I'd call it 15% solid advice on how to relax and 85% woo. Not my cup of tea by a long shot, but if it helps you, great I guess.

“Estoy convencido de que no somos sólo seres humanos que gozamos, ocasionalmente, de experiencias espirituales, sino que somos seres espirituales que vivimos, de vez en cuando, experiencias humanas.”

Dejado de lado el tema de las vidas pasadas, el libro resulta tener buenos componentes para el ejercicio y la práctica de la meditación. Su meditación final es poderosa y simple, dos elementos muy positivos para cualquier meditación.

Reflexiones a través de experiencias positivas de porque podrías integrar la meditación a tu estilo de vida, recalcando la paciencia y constancia en el proceso.
Al final del libro está transcrito la meditación que viene en el cd junto con el libro.

Esperaba más de este libro. Son extractos cortos de otros libros del autor.
La transcripción de la meditación guiada no es de mucha ayuda, sería mejor proveer un audio como parte de la compra del libro.

A start to a new world. It’s short, readable and easy to understand.

A solid introduction to meditation. Not much technique, more motivation to give meditation a try.

Majestuoso :D

Sencillo y ameno. Una lectura de un día donde se aprenderá las técnicas del maestro Weiss. Sirve como iniciación a la meditación y sobre todo, aprender a respirar y tomarnos nuestros tiempos.

No me gustó, lo compré pensando en que enseñaría a meditar y las últimas 5 páginas son de como meditar.
El resto habla de cosas como ver vidas pasadas, viajes astrales y demás pensamientos mágicos.

This is an easy-to-read overview of meditation... best for beginners, I think. A CD is included that has a very nice guided meditation that I did useful and makes a person impact.

En realidad no hay mucho que aprender del libro y la meditación. De igual manera, hay ciertas cosas que son rescatables y la principal es la meditación guiada que viene al final.
