Before you meditate, there are a few very important facts you need to know. It may shock you to learn that most of what is being taught as ‘meditation’ is NOT actually meditation. Most techniques are nothing more than physical and mental exercises, designed to temporarily provide relief by causing an altered state of mind. However, true meditation practices create a permanent shift in your overall state of being by enabling you to understand all the factors feeding into your reality.

Most people today are struggling with some kind of stress. As a result, more and more people are turning to meditation to seek relief from the constant inner chatter and outer pressures. Though some find help, they usually fail to get any lasting results and slip back into old habits and stay stuck in patterns. The main problem is that most people find learning to meditate difficult and confusing, and are not being taught the required practices.

NB - This book is a condensed and truncated version of the in-depth book - The Art of Adara Meditation: A Complete Guide to Navigating Life and Consciousness - therefore, it is not necessary to get this small version if you have the big one.
Before You Meditate is for those wanting to develop a full understanding of the basic principles of meditation from a wholistic perspective and approach.
