The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration & Meditation

This book provides a lot of different techniques to help us relax, concentrate and meditate. There are beautiful visualizations that are almost poetic and magical. I liked one where you sit comfortably or lie down ad visualize a ball of light sitting on your stomach and then you throw this ball of light into space and watch it go up for miles, light years. When you lose concentration you put another ball onto your stomach and start again in a different direction until you have a ring of balls at the edges of the universe and your mind will be equally expanded. There are also b&w photos of lotus plants, monks, the sky that you can look at and elaborate on with your fantasy.
