Meditation: The Art of Ecstasy
A practical handbook in simple and clear language which is ideal for everyone from complete beginners to
experienced meditators. The book contains a scientific explanation of meditation, a humorous discussion of obstacles
to watch out for, answers to questions from meditators and 60 step-by-step descriptions of meditation techniques.
Some techniques have been drawn from ancient traditions such as Zen, Sufi, Tantra, Tao, and the Upanishads, others
include the revolutionary techniques created by Osho especially for the modern man who finds it difficult to quieten his
