Beyond and within

A comprehensive guide to meditating.Two principles inform the White Eagle way of meditation, which has been presented in books and classes since 1955. One is working from the heart - the heart chakra, rather than the brow - and the other is that the best meditation is effortless. This, the latest White Eagle book - put together by Anna Hayward - demonstrates both principles, and it will take the beginner into a developed understanding of the benefits of meditation. Yet for the student who already meditates regularly it will deepen and inform their practice. It is almost unique in offering the special ''heart'' perspective and includes helpful teaching from White Eagle about visualisation, breathing, inner peace, finding ''heaven'', what the etheric is, how to work with the light, using the senses, the power of the Word'', and a whole lot more. It is both a book to dip into and one to read from cover to cover, and it ends with an eight-week programme of exercises to develop our meditation potential.
