Re: Free E-Book
Yes I agree, any meditation technique should create some transformation for the better. I have tried quite a few different techniques of meditation with some benefit. Some of these techniques like OBE, remote viewing, distance healing, and things of this nature are very cool and they are a good tool to open up our mind and make us realize that there is a lot more going on than we realize. But I don't feel like I started making real spiritual progress until I started practicing Kriya Yoga Meditation. If you have never heard of Kriya Yoga before then I highly recommend that you read the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. He doesn't write on the actual meditation technique (you can only learn it from a teacher) but the book is really amazing, just about his life and his experiences.
As you said, it doesn't matter what technique it is the important thing is the result. To me it feels like all of these 'new age' meditations that I tried are really only touching the surface of spirituality but not going really deep inside. Not saying Kriya Yoga is THE BEST or THE ONLY technique that is good, I'm sure there are many others, but I will say that Kriya Yoga has evolved my body and mind beyond anything that I would have imagined was possible. The states of meditation that I have experienced are beyond explanation with words.
