Meditation Works in the Daoist, Buddhist and Hindu Traditions

Based on extensive research and practical experience, Livia Kohn presents a new typology of meditation, categorizing six distinct methods to access the subconscious. The book explores each type through detailed chapters that cover physiology, worldview, traditional practices, modern medical adaptations, and organizational contexts. Combining theoretical insights with analytical overviews, it significantly enhances the understanding of meditation. Published by University of Hawai‘i Press and Three Pines Press, this work offers a comprehensive look at the diverse facets of meditative practice.
