Bodhi Tree Swaying: Reflections of a Western Buddhist

Wildmind: A Step-by-Step Guide to Meditation

This book is based on material I wrote for my website, Wildmind.org. It’s published by Windhorse Publications, and you can buy it from them or from Amazon.com.

“A 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 fulfillment. It is a mind that is free, spontaneous, and abundantly creative. It is our mind. It is a place we can spend the rest of our lives exploring.

“This is a guidebook to that inner wildness. Buddhist meditation teacher Bodhipaksa shows us how we can use simple meditation practices to realize the potential of our minds and hearts, freeing ourselves from the restrictive habits and fears. Using this natural method of working with our minds and emotions, we can learn to benefit others, and ourselves, by developing a more loving heart and a clearer mind.”

‘…a classic helpful both to the beginner and those who have been meditating for a while. A good buy!’
A happy customer

Aimed primarily at beginners, this guidebook … can also serve as a valuable refresher course for those who have been meditating but have reached the cul-de-sac of staleness Traditional Yoga Studies Interactive

‘After four days of meditation … I have been feeling more calm during uncomfortable situations … I have been able to focus longer during yoga practice. I have been able to relax better (less stress). I have been able to stop certain thought patterns more quickly.’
