A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Anne Cushman offers a twelve-week progression joining mindful yoga, breathing, Buddhist teaching, and seated meditation. The sequence uses movement and sensation as part of meditation itself, helping practice move beyond the assumption that contemplation happens only while sitting still.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It supplies the Library with a patient, structured route from bodily movement into meditation. It is especially useful for travelers who understand spiritual practice intellectually but need a rhythm they can actually try over time.
Good starting place if…
You practice yoga, want to begin meditation through the body, or would benefit from a week-by-week program rather than disconnected exercises.
Know before you begin…
The book draws from Buddhist meditation and modern postural yoga while addressing a broad contemporary audience. It is a practice manual, not medical care; physical postures should be modified for pain, disability, pregnancy, injury, or other health needs.
