Extract: 'The aim of Buddhist meditation is to clear away the 'defilements' so that we can experience ourselves - more deeply and more truly - in our primordial purity, clarity, and freedom of mind. Meditation helps us to cut through the agonizing clutter of superficial mental turmoil and allows us to experience more spacious and joyful states of mind. It is this pure and luminous state that I call your Wildmind'.

  Developed from the on-line meditation course, this book gets you started straight away, offering a practical approach to meditation for complete beginners. Wildmind is as spacious as a clear blue sky, as still as a lake at dawn; such a mind is a source of richness and fulfilment. It is a mind that is free, spontaneous and abundantly creative. This is a guidebook to that inner wilderness. Here, the reader can discover: how to sit for meditation and a posture workshop; walking meditation, body awareness and relaxation; thorough guidelines to two traditional meditations; how and why regular meditation can help and how to bring its results into everyday life; and trouble shooting tips and ideas developed by Bodhipaksa and his students over many years.
