Review of The Warrior's Meditation
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Warrior's Meditation" by Richard L Haight.]
In debunking common assumptions, Richard L. Haight's book, "The Warrior's Meditation," enlightens readers about meditation. Contrary to popular belief, specific body postures and environments are unnecessary for this practice. With valuable insights, the book empowers individuals to meditate effectively, breaking free from misconceptions.
Richard's astonishment grew when he witnessed Shizen's ability to complete meditation in just a few seconds upon joining the dojo. Shizen emphasized that, as a Samurai, spending hours in meditation didn't guarantee the desired outcome; instead, it hindered daily duties. If you seek a path to harmonizing daily activities with a sound mind through meditation, this book is your ideal guide.
This book left a profound educational impact on me. Through its pages, I delved into the enlightening realm of Kami's martial system, the Shinkage-ryu. The art's noble purpose was to spare the enemy's life, reflecting Kamiizumi Sensei's conviction against unnecessary killing. Remarkably, Shinkage-ryu held its position as the Shogun's official art for four centuries. This noble philosophy starkly contrasts the indifference many have toward their foes. Additionally, I explored the rich tapestry of meditation's cultural and historical aspects within its captivating chapters.
This book proves to be an excellent choice for those unfamiliar with meditation. The author adeptly contrasts the state of mind in depression and anxiety with that of meditation, offering profound clarity. His writing style facilitates easy comprehension, prompting me to engage in the included meditation exercises. The author's perspective, supported by extensive research, left me regretting not embracing meditation sooner. The book enlightens readers about the numerous health benefits of meditation while admirably presenting it without religious ties. It emphasizes universal principles accessible to all, ensuring everyone can benefit without feeling excluded.
This book is a flawless gem. Insightful and practical, it offers valuable guidance. The impeccable editing leaves no room for errors, warranting a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating. This book proves immensely beneficial for those seeking to incorporate meditation into their daily routines. While it briefly touches on religious aspects, the author skillfully prioritizes meditation, making it accessible to readers of various beliefs. This is a must-read for anyone looking to enrich their lives through meditation.
