This book helps potential meditators and beginning meditators establish an effective practice based on the most current research findings in the field. It provides readers a comprehensive overview of meditation traditions, explains the empirical benefits of practice, addresses common barriers to practice, offers detailed instructions in a number of meditation methods, explains the distinction between meditation and mindfulness, and guides individuals in developing a sustainable practice. One of the unique features of this text is that it introduces contemporary forms of meditation that utilize technology such as brain-sensing devices, the Muse headset, and virtual reality-based meditation. Contents will be structured in a way that provides a conceptual understanding of meditation and a rationale for practice followed by practical application. The book will also be interspersed with personalized stories of meditators of varying levels, narrating how they got involved in meditation, tips to increase meditation’s effectiveness, and how to stick with their practice. Each chapter will include Key Takeaways.
