Bringing the deep wisdom of the heart into daily life
by Eknath Easwaran
Passage Meditation
was the book chosen to accompany the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa theme for June 2009
What is passage meditation? It's the method developed by Eknath Easwaran in which you choose a spiritual text, or passage, that embodies your highest ideals, memorize it, and then send it deep into consciousness through slow, sustained attention.
If you meditate regularly, the truths the passages express gradually become part of your life, part of who you are. You find yourself becoming wiser, kinder, with a greater sense of purpose and connection to others.
Universal and dogma-free, passage meditation fits within any religious paractice or nonreligious philosophy; it is used by conselors and yoga teachers, as well as health and education professionals.
Eknath Easwaran taught passage meditation to thousands of people for over forty years, including a course at the University of California.
Thoroughly tested, consistent and clear, the instructions in this book are all you need to start meditating.
Passage meditation is part of an eight-point program that helps you stay calm and focused throughout the day.
If challenges appeal to you and meaning and purpose are what you seek, read this book."
