hroughout the ages, on every continent on Earth, there
have been people who have sought the truth, devoting
most of their lives to finding the meaning of life Those seekers
were aware of the truth — that there is something beyond what
the naked eye can see Their courage and dedication enabled
them to awaken from the illusion of the world around them

This was achieved by using meditation as a technique of dis­
tinguishing the mind from the illusion from the outside world
This book has been written to familiarize the reader with
the positive aspects of meditation and the role it has in im­
proving quality of life and mental health The book shows
what meditation really is, based on years of experience of peo­
ple who have devoted their lives to the process of observing
the mind Offering a brief overview of the techniques and var­
ious forms of meditation this book serves as a starting point
and as a guide, as well as a source of inspiration, to those in­
terested in meditation in everyday life
My interest in meditation first began when visiting Thai­
land The beautiful country and its culture inspired me and
I became interested in the various techniques of meditation
I found great inspiration from the  work of  great spiritual
teachers While studying for my undergraduate degree, daily
meditation allowed me to achieve inner peace and enabled me
to become more effective in my studies There is such a wide
variety of meditation types and techniques delivered by so
many teachers, hence I decided to simplify it and to condense
it all into one book for beginners looking to turn to medita­
tion Meditation has become such an important aspect of my
daily life and has enabled me to maintain a state of balance and
well—being Therefore, I have created this book to give to you
a very useful tool which will enable you to achieve a state of in­
ner peace and harmony Enjoy reader!
