First developed as a short manual for students in a yearlong
meditation course, Presence Meditation offers a step-by-step
program for increasing self-awareness through simple but revelatory
exercises. The practice of presence meditation involves becoming
present to whatever is going on and letting things be just as they
are. This awareness is characterized by open attention and neutral
observation, which increases the capacity to observe without
judging, enables transformation without forcing, and opens the way
to a more immediate sense of meaning and joy in life. Author
Jens-Erik Risom begins by describing the purpose of meditation and
the “four introductions” (rootedness, attention to breathing,
fullness of feeling, and witness awareness), and then presents the
gradual steps for achieving presence, deepening neutrality, opening
to trust, sensing spaciousness, and more.
There are many books about meditation on the market, from Western
authors like Eckhart Tolle to Tibetan Buddhist teachers. But many
people find it difficult to translate the message of these books
into an actual experience of deepening awareness. Whether readers
are seeking a spiritual practice, a more serene approach to
stressful situations, improved concentration, or greater relaxation
for better health, this compact manual offers a simple, undogmatic
approach to meditation.
“While there are many books on meditation as well as on
meditation/therapy, I believe Presence Meditation covers
several areas not adequately addressed (or not addressed at all) by
the current books in print. It also covers various theories and
practice that one rarely finds under one cover. The book is rich in
clear, simple explications of important meditative perspectives and
techniques from presence and mindfulness to Zen and Tibetan
Buddhism.”
