What is meditation? Pure fascination with this moment, exactly as it is.Jeff Foster, a survivor of suicidal depression and now a popular spiritual teacher, invites us to discover the lifesaving inner sanctuary of true meditation. He reenvisions meditation as a vast nondual field of Presence, accessible to all of us in each and every moment of our lives; an effortless place where we can be our authentic selvesimperfections, doubts, fears, exhaustion and all. Meditation does not involve zoning out, numbing ourselves to the pain of living or trying to become spiritually enlightened. It means diving into the sacred mess of this present moment with curiosity and childlike wonder, drenching our deepest wounds with a loving Awareness, bringing light to the darkness. In true meditation, we come to discover: We are perfect, exactly as we are.The Joy of True Meditation gathers together nearly 50 of Jeff Fosters soothing, touching, provocative and encouraging essays and poetic reflections on life, love, our true nature, and the courageous journey towards wild selfacceptance.

He shares movingly how a complete mental and spiritual breakdown eventually led him to the discovery of the present moment, his true home. He explains how true meditation literally saved his life.This books themes include: The joy of slowing down and the miracle of the Nowbreath The sacred shift from healing ourselves to holding ourselves How we can stop looking for The One, and find it within The myth of the silent mind and the lie of egotranscendence The holiness hidden in our exhaustion, depression, loneliness and trauma The immense beauty of our vulnerability, sensitivity and selfdoubt Why painful feelings are never mistakes or blocks to awakening Knowing our true nature as the nondual light of Awareness itself This messy, ordinary human heart as a portal to the DivineHidden in each of this books vignettes is a constant reminder of the fierceness and totality of the moment as an invitation to presence, to breath, back home.
