Synopsis
Beginners and long-term meditators alike will welcome Ajayan Boryss counterintuitive teaching that one neednt struggle or stop thinking to experience the benefits of meditation. Effort fuels accomplishment in the world of action, but in the realm of meditation, which consists of simply being, struggle thwarts success. Instead, as with falling asleep, ease is essential. And just as the mind remains active during sleep (in dreams), the mind, with its natural tendency toward thought, can become an ally in meditation. Borys covers all the basics and also incorporates some simple yet powerful yogic techniques. Sprinkled with warmly personal anecdotes of the challenges and epiphanies the author has found in his practice, Effortless Mind is filled with the practical and inspirational wisdom of a consummate teacher.
