A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners.

No religion or spiritual movement is more known for its association with meditation than Buddhism. Yet, in the Western world there has been very little comprehensive instruction available on this integral practice in book form--until now.

In How to Meditate Like a Buddhist, best-selling author and certified meditation instructor Cynthia Kane demystifies this ancient practice and gently teaches you everything you need to know about building a meditation practice that works for you, including detailed guidance on posture, breathing, mindset, overcoming common obstacles, and more. Informed by her own journey and professional training, Kane has distilled the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation into a clear, instructive guide. With her expertise and encouragement, you will learn how to establish a foundational meditation practice that can help you:

• Release stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
• Change your relationship to unhelpful thoughts and emotions
• Rediscover the quiet stillness that lies inside you
• Experience greater peace, tranquility, and connection with yourself and others

If you are ready to learn how to meditate like a Buddhist, this compact yet powerful book is the perfect place to start.
