Aspects of Meditation Book 4

Book excerpt: In spiritual teacher Osho's Aspects of Meditation Book 4: Medicine and Meditation, you'll discover a deeper understanding of meditation through an investigation into the subtle workings of the mind, focusing on questions of health and illness. The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to “do” meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 4, Osho examines health and illness, disease and well-being as outgrowths of our sense of self and connection to our mind.
