Meditation for Prisoners Hardback
by Lewis Elbinger
Hardback
Description
MEDITATION FOR PRISONERSI started studying meditation because I firmly expected to go to prison as a result of my refusal to participate in the Vietnam War. I knew instinctively that I would have to find resources within myself to prepare for and protect from long hours of boredom, hostile strangers and oppressive situations. These studies took me around the world and, although I never actually entered prison, I gathered what I needed to arm myself against the sudden deprivation of material comfort and freedom. HOW TO USE THIS BOOKThis book contains 31 meditations, one for each day of the month. Use the meditation that corresponds to the date of the month. Find a comfortable place and read the introduction and meditation once. Then say each line of the meditation aloud if possible, silently if necessary. Concentrate on the meaning. Close your eyes, quiet your mind, watch your breath, observe your thoughts and, most importantly, follow your intuition. NO ILLUSIONSI have no illusions that more than a handful of prisoners who read them will understand these words. Of that handful, fewer will apply the advice contained herein. Nevertheless, I write for those few brothers and sisters who are forced by circumstance to contemplate the meaning of liberation.
