Breath by Breath

Meditation instructor Larry Rosenberg takes words attributed to the Buddha's about the vital link between breathing and meditation, otherwise known as Anapanasati Sutra, and adapts it into an easy-to-grasp manual that is now a regular among meditation students. Everything in this book--from the title, to the chapter headings, even the material itself--is focused completely on breathing. Rosenberg drives home the point that it is not just the act of breathing, but how we consider it, that is the key to understanding the larger concepts of meditation, insight, and self-realization. Newcomer-friendly, this book begins with basic terminology and also includes a condensed method--a quick meditation for those without huge resources of time. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
