As for me, I have my own form of meditation. I’ve never taken a meditation class so I don’t know if what I do is correct or not, but it relaxes me and makes me feel fabulous.

Hi, Margaret, the best book I read about meditation is Meditaion in plain English, now free http://www.urbandharma.org/pdf/mindfulness_in_plain_english.pdf;

I like very very much B. Alan Wallace (it is a litle bit different, but still very good) sbinstitute.com/phuketpodcasts. Jon-Kabat Zin books and guided meditations are WOW. Have a good start in it 🙂
