I loved this book. It explains in layman terms the neurobiology working in meditation practice. I'm a psychotherapist and I recommend it to my clients as a western view of why one might want to take up a meditation practice.

Jones does a masterful job of clueing in any curious, uninformed reader about the positive consequences of meditation practice. She substantiates through referenced research, but also explains in a simple, easy-to-follow manner, how meditation works with brain functioning to create new neural pathways carved by positive visioning. She describes tried and true methods for training the brain to focus on beauty and peace, grace and generosity and, using disturbing events from her own life as evidence, convinces the reader that relief from pain can be achieved.

I wanted a book about Medicine Buddha. I ended up reading a book that explains why visualizations work. I am really happy about this.

While this book will be especially interesting for those who practice meditation, I think that a bigger audience will certainly find something helpful in it as well. I certainly did; and once again, I'm amazed by how the right information reaches me just when I need it, when I've been searching for something like this in many different self-help books.

A big thanks and best of luck to the author, and I hope this book reaches everyone who needs to read it!
