American Meditation and Beginning Yoga

American Meditation is one of the first American books to provide a clear understanding of the fundamental elements of Eastern Yoga and its integration with Western Christian-Judaic thinking. Author/Physicist Robert L. Peck ties modern physiology, philosophy, and religion to the ancient Indian system of self-development through the mystical practices of the Eastern Yogis. Peck presents a practical introduction to the spiritual disciplines of meditation, breathing, exercise, and contemplation, and he is one of the few authors who relates the mystical goal of mantra practices to body sounds.
