Just Meditation: everyday meditation for everyone

Just Meditation represents a distinctive approach to the learning and practice of meditation that is simple, accessible and inclusive: everyday meditation for everyone.

In this book, Nicholas Buxton, founder of Just Meditation and the Newcastle Meditation Centre (2016-20), cuts through the jargon to explain clearly what meditation is, how to do it and why it matters.

“Meditation is about cultivating awareness, and learning to take a step back from ourselves in order to see things as they are, rather than as we think they should or shouldn’t be.”

Divided into three sections, the first section, ‘what is meditation’, explores definitions of meditation, as well as looking at mindfulness, before explaining what is unique about the Just Meditation approach. The second sections goes into the question of how to meditate, with chapters about posture, using the breath and dealing with distractions. Finally, the third section looks at the question of why we meditate. Why do we do it? Why does it matter? How and in what way might we grow and develop as a result of the practice of meditation?

Suitable for beginners, as well as those with more experience wanting to refresh their practice, Just Meditation may not be the only book about meditation out there, but it's the only one you'll need!
