The Best Book to Learn Meditation: The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa (John Yates, PhD)

Hi guys!

George here with another quick book rec. This is a really significant one for me. It’s a book I both study and teach from.

It’s less of a “book” and more of a textbook.

If you want to really nerd out about learning meditation, this one is for you.

In it, meditation master and neuroscientist Culadasa outlines Indian Master Kamalashila’s Nine Stages of Meditation in a detailed step by step guide.

My main meditation teachers’ teacher received meditation instruction directly from Culadasa, so I have a special kinship with this text.

Following this text can help anyone go from brand new meditator to someone experiencing the highest states of meditation.

You can grab your copy of The Mind Illuminated here.
