The Yoga of One Pointedness Mindfulness Meditation and the Jhanas

This book is an introduction to mindfulness and meditation and a guide for those who wish to include a focus on states of concentration known as the Jhanas. The text emphasises the importance of physical and emotional awareness in mindfulness and the development of one-pointed concentration to facilitate the experience of more expanded states of consciousness in meditation. The author relates his own story in finding and pursuing the spiritual path and offers a graded and gradually deepening approach (including exercises) to mindfulness and meditation informed by Buddhism, Taoism, Yoga Philosophy and Psychotherapy. The One Pointed Meditation App is available from Google Play.
