review: Editorial Reviews Review Hidden within these pages is a form of meditation that is nothing less than revolutionary. If you've struggled with meditation or have found it difficult to deepen your practice, you'll find this book by Richard Haight to be a true gift. In it, you'll be carefully guided to not only discover the ultimate depth of meditation, but to be able to embody it in your everyday life, even with eyes wide-open, in the midst of work, relationships, and all of life's stressful moments. Do yourself a favor and read this book!― Ziad Masri, Bestselling Author of Reality Unveiled Richard's meditation method is not only practical and easy to implement but also accompanied with profound insights on how the human mind and body work. Whether you're an experienced meditator or an aspiring one, you'll greatly benefit from his experience as an advanced meditator, martial arts expert, consciousness explorer, and devoted teacher. Highly recommended read. ― Thibaut Meurisse, Bestselling Author of Fail Big I thought I am quite knowledgeable on the subject of meditation but this book still surprised me with its approach and teachings. I was just at the right time to receive this knowledge. It is a meditation of warriors and the philosophy is helping me to see things in a new light. For this book, you don't need to hold any special spiritual beliefs which could be soothing as some books demand that. I think this book can especially help leaders, business owners, and those that need to stand strong against harsh conditions.― Otakara Klettke, Bestselling Author of Hear Your Body Whisper This book is a sure-fire must-read. Your mind is a fortress that must be guarded and through meditation, you are strengthening the walls of your fortress. I was intrigued by the idea of living life as a warrior by protecting yourself against attack from negative thoughts, time thieves, and the various other forms of distractions that can corrupt one's mind. ― Scott Allan, Top 1000 Reviewer and Bestselling Author of Empower your Fear I am someone who has read about 400 books, and this is one of the most enlightening books I have read. I have read other books on meditation, but this one was by far the most practical handbook for actually applying meditation in one's life. The steps are very helpful as a guide to get you started, but you can also transform what the book offers into your own unique meditative experience. All the tools are included to help you do this.― I. C. Robledo, Author of 7 Thoughts to Live Your Life By I believe that this is the best book for anyone who wants to get started making profound changes in their lives. It is a voyage within yourself, without the risk of losing touch with the outside world. It is a fun and apparently easy to do it yourself book. But like für Elise is a music-piece that is easy to play for beginners, it is also a challenge for advanced musicians. The richness can only be experienced by practice.― Rik Kamerik, Singer, Songwriter, Musician - reverbnation.com/ranasragas Haight gets to the heart of meditative practice. This is an extremely practical book, very easy to follow. I also really enjoyed the context/background of the practice. It seems like a book that should have been written a long time ago. ― Righteous Sister Furey, Amazon Reader Many books on meditation had left me feeling somewhat inept, as though the meditative process was still a little out of reach for me. The Warrior's Meditation I find very different: it's easy to read in its informal but highly informational and instructive tone. The book contains a variety of practices, each one taking the reader through a step by step process. Whether you are a seasoned meditator or a newcomer to mediation, this book is one to read and reread. ― Kathryn R, Amazon Reader From the Author Preface Introduction Part I: Principles of Meditation Chapter 1 - Concentration Chapter 2 - Beyond Concentration Chapter 3 - Shifting to Alpha Chapter 4 - Differentiating Alpha States Chapter 5 - The Awareness Paradox Part II: Natural Meditation Portals Chapter 6 - Conscious Sight Chapter 7 - Conscious Hearing Chapter 8 - Conscious Olfaction Chapter 9 - Conscious Tasting Chapter 10 - Conscious Feeling Chapter 11 - Final Thoughts on Portals of the Senses Part III: Basic TEM Practice Chapter 12 - Spherical Awareness Chapter 13 - The Warrior's Meditation Chapter 14 - Meditation Mindset Chapter 15 - Dealing with Mental Resistance Chapter 16 - Mental Maps and the Stages of Competence Chapter 17 - Developing Flexibility Part IV: Daily Application Chapter 18 - Supportive Lifestyle Adjustments Chapter 19 - Overcoming Awareness Bias Chapter 20 - Guiding Emotions Chapter 21 - Instant Meditation Chapter 22 - Returning to Essentials Chapter 23 - Natural Meditation Ready Reference Sources About the Author From the Back Cover The Warrior's Meditation , by award-winning author of The Unbound Soul , Richard L.
