Active Meditation: The Western Tradition

Active Meditation: The Western Tradition by Leichtman, Robert R.; Japikse, Carl. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780898040401.

Effective medication has been a part of every significant spiritual tradition in human history – because there is no better way of establishing contact between the personality and our high self. There is no better way of tapping the diving energies of love, wisdom, and strength. There is no better bath to enlightenment. And yet, not all systems of medication lead to enlightenment. In many systems the art of medication has been trivialized. Instead of serving as a method for establishing and maintaining contact with the high self, it has all too often become a simple process of relaxing an quieting the mind and body – or concentrating on a single thought or sound. Many people accept these practices as legitimate aspects of meditation, but they are not. ACTIVE MEDITATIONL: THE WESTERN TRADITION sets the record straight. Written by Dr. Robert Leichtman and Carl Japikse, it is a precise definition of the art of meditation, but it is more than that alone. It is also a complete commentary on personal growth, and a challenging statement of the role of enlightened activity in the spiritual life. Robert R. Leichtman, M.D., was a physician, author, and intuitive healer known for developing "Active Meditation" and blending traditional medicine with spirituality.
