The Inward Art

About this book

First published in 1964, Meditation by Bradford Smith draws on his extensive experience to provide clear guidance on how to practice rewarding meditation. Covering topics such as 'What is Meditation?', 'Ways of Meditation', 'Group Meditation', 'Thinking in Symbols', and 'Meditation and the Arts,' Smith presents his insights in a way that is easy for the everyday reader to understand. While meditation has been valued for thousands of years, its practice in the Western world remains limited, leaving many unsure of where to begin. Smith offers a pathway for individuals to discover the form of meditation most meaningful to them, tailored to their unique needs and interests. He encourages readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, ask questions, confront life's mysteries, develop personal convictions, and move beyond life's distractions to uncover the true inner self, ready to be awakened and enjoyed. This book is a compelling resource for anyone interested in meditation.
