The Meditation Doctor: A Practical Approach to Healing Common Ailments Through Meditation

I practice meditations from the Meditation Doctor in the morning before work, and allow myself time in the work day to sit in stillness and use techniques to center myself. I feel clearer, more grounded, and more present to the people I work with as well as to my family and friends.

Of all the meditation books I have consulted, The Meditation Doctor is the most beautifully designed and the most accessible while offering resources to those readers who have varying degrees of experience with meditation. I have given this book to many friends and they regularly make references to techniques that help them with sinus headaches, fatigue, and back pain. The colorful photographs and illustrations along with the inspiring meditations make this the perfect mind-body text.

Author Martina Glasscock Barnes has started me on my way to a healthier body, mind, and spirit through meditation and visualization. I have been meditating 10-15 minutes and day I feel true benefits. As a complete novice I appreciated her step-by step approach and photographs. She writes with clarity and brevity yet addresses the vastness and depth of the subject at hand. This book would make a great gift - to yourself or a friend.

This is a valuable reference book for common aliments and problems we all experience in life. It has such varied and useful non-invasive information in it. One does not have to know how to meditate because the author, Martina Glasscock Barnes describes it in easily applied terms. She shows clearly how to relieve those agonizing little problems that plague our lives; like what to do when your sinuses are clogged. Pictures demonstrating most techniques and postures appear on almost every page. Reflexology points for reducing the symptoms of certain illnesses are so helpful. This book contains a wealth of information for everyone. It promotes wholeness and wellness. If everyone had this reference book, they would experience better health and less visits to the busy doctor's office.

The meditation doctor is a beautifully illustrated and intellegently written book on meditation and healing. It is easy to understand and interesting to read. The introduction and first few chapters do an excellent job of laying down the framework for the rest of the book. What I love about this book is that there are so many meditations to choose from and that they are simple to follow. I have chosen a few to practice with and each time I do one of the meditations, it becomes more and more "mine." I love to do the yogic and movement meditations in the morning. I feel like I am doing more than just stretching. The descriptions of the stretches that the book gives makes them meaningful. If you are new to meditation, this book is a great place to begin, especially if you do not know where to begin. If you are a practiced meditator, this book is a great way to inspire new types of meditations and different experiences in your meditations. This book is not just for those who need a "meditation doctor." It is for all of us who are conciously choosing to be well.Thank you Martina Glasscock Barnes for the beauty with which you have written this book.
