The first half of the book describes a core meditation practice, a lifetime practice if it speaks to you. It is very simple but not necessarily easy. My own experience was that after years of practicing other methods, the techniques described in the first part of this book generated tangible, practical results very rapidly. I recommend you spend some real, quality time with this before getting too immersed in the second half of the book i ordered the book after reading the above post. And this practice is exactly what I needed. Results indeed. Thank you so much for this recommendation.

It is the best approach for me as I tend to be too much in my head. Bingo, yes, me too i especially like about this practice also that it includes inner refuge, which offers the elements of comfort safety protection and nurturing. That is my experience with it thus far, soothing and warm. It is a respite from spinning thoughts, and feels restorative.
