On Meditation is a compilation of portraits that explore the practice of meditation in all its forms. Practiced for thousands of years, meditation is at once profound and simple: the focused attempt to move beyond conditioned thinking into a deeper state of awareness. Yet what does that path, one of the inner journey, which is above all a private, interior one, really look like? On Meditation conveys firsthand experiences of those who have developed meaningful practices and are willing to share their experiences.
Meditation is a part of yoga and deals with mental relaxation and concentration techniques. If you are fascinated by all things meditation and want to deepen your knowledge of yoga, you might also be interested in attending a yoga teacher training course.
