About this listen

Based on extensive cultural studies and long years of practice, Livia Kohn creates a new typology of meditation, based on six distinct ways of accessing the subconscious. In a special chapter on each type, she outlines the physiology, world view, and traditional practice as well as its modern medical adaptations and organizational settings. Providing a thorough theoretical framework combined with a comprehensive, analytical overview, the book greatly advances our understanding of meditation.

The book is published by University of Hawai‘i Press and Three Pines Press.

Critic reviews

"In a masterful way, this book highlights the concepts and practices of Daoist, Buddhist, and Hindu meditation. Supported by personal practice, scientific research, and years of study of classical texts in each tradition, Professor Kohn provides a clear explanation of the similarities and differences between these ancient approaches to self-cultivation and spiritual growth." (Don Davis, Old Dominion University and Tidewater Tai Chi Center)

Highly informative

A great round up of different approaches to meditation, opened my awareness to a massive range of systems. Insightfully written and a balanced academic style approach to the subject
