Rent Meditation for Beginners: 10th-Anniversary Edition

Synopsis

The popularity of meditation continues to grow in the West. As more and more people begin to realize the spiritual and health benefits of meditating, newcomers look for a teacher who can help them start practicing on their own. Jack Kornfield stands out as one of the most accessible and trusted teachers for helping first-time meditators get their start. Meditation for Beginners is Jack Kornfield's most popular entry-level training course, with over 60,000 copies sold. Created specifically for novices, this complete introduction to meditation features four classical mindfulness exercises.

Clearly articulated and skillfully presented, Meditation for Beginners is designed to bring the peace and power of mindfulness into our everyday lives. It is the definitive resource for anyone who ever thought about learning to meditate but didn't know where to begin.
