The Armchair Mystic Richard Abbot

'There must be more to Life than this?' I once cried at the tedium of my existence. Well there was. And this is the real life story of how I found it. Every problem that I have ever faced, every obstacle that seemed insurmountable, every anxiety and confusion was resolved by the practices contained in this book. Based on the process originated formulated in 1960's California by psychologist Edwin Steinbrecher (and explained step by step in his masterpiece The Inner Guide Meditation) this book is the collected diary notes of my fifteen year long effort to understand myself, the world and my place in it - from my armchair. This is not a book on how to meditate and feel better. This is about how a mind can be blown and put back together again - different and better than before.
