This is an intelligently written, easy to read description about TRUE meditation. Dr. Manocha has undertaken research on meditation over many years. He has come up with a clear description and analysis of what mediataion actually is, and how it can be used to help achieve a state of health and well-being. The scientific results cannot be ignored. With this book meditation through mental silence has entered the main-stream of society.

This is a must read book for anyone wanting to learn more about subject of meditation and or take it up as a regular practice. It's a case of science and/or medicine providing convincing evidence of the benfits of meditation if practised on a regular basis. There is plenty of information by Dr Manocha about the various trials he and his research team conducted in Australia with controlled and non controlled groups in both family life, schools and the corporate world to assess the effectiveness of what the author calls Sahaja yoga meditation that if practised on a regular basis gives one the experience of 'mental silence'.



There is also plenty of hands on information about how to meditate at home following a very simple and straight forward procedure as well as some thoughtful and interesting insights as to what constitutes real meditation and the resultant health benefits by tapping into the so called energy of meditation located at the base of the spine. There are also simple straightforward step by step techniques described to prolong the state of meditation throughout the day.

Silence Your Mind



Silence Your Mind showcases something marvellous.

I cannot recommend it highly enough -for EVERYONE.



It is not often you find a book, in particular a 'self-help' book, based on world-leading research - especially one from an Australian.



In this way, the book stands out. However, there are many more reasons this book is something special.



It introduced to me the idea that there is more than one type of meditation. Who knew?

And the book proved to me - using established, conventional and rigorous research methods and standards - that one particular type, one that facilitates the experience of mental silence, has made significant differences to the lives of many of those who have practised it.

It is compelling and exciting without being evangelistic.



Importantly, the book gives easy-to-understand instructions about how to achieve mental silence. It is even within reach of children!

Benefits flow from just 10mins meditation per day. Remarkable.



This book is 10/10.
