Review
Getting to Where You Are: The Life of Meditation by Steven Harrison is a compelling examination of the practice of meditation - including its benefits, what it can and cannot help with, and expressions of daily spirituality through the machinations of life itself. A thought-provoking series of essays carrying a transcendental message about what it means to be in touch with oneself and the quest to better understand both the physical and the spiritual realms, Getting to Where You Are is enthusiastically recommended reading for students of spirituality who seek to employ meditation as a means of acquiring all that this ancient practice has to offer them in our modern times. --Small Press Bookwatch; December 2003
Synopsis
Forget Meditating, Living is Better For You! From Madonna to your next door neighbour, it seems everyone is experimenting with meditation as a way to relax the body and achieve inner tranquillity. But many people find meditation to be an added stress in their lives, rather than a means by which to relieve it. Steven Harrison reveals a truth the gurus know but keep secret: nothing is happening during structured meditations except the buzz of thought and the discomfort of the body. In Getting to where you are, Harrison suggests that the only meditation that does not produce more clutter than it eliminates is the one we are doing already: Actuality Meditation - that is, living. This meditation is the active exploration of life, free from the restraint of doctrine, religious belief, and technique-oriented practices. Getting to where you are is the only meditation book that helps readers free themselves from the burden of structured rules and the dictates of exotic gurus.
