“A simple guide to effective meditation that moves the reader from
concentration to genuine meditative experience. The author maintains
that such experiences are actually natural to us and that ‘harsh ascetic
practice’ is unnecessary. Sawai Atsuhiro shows that meditation teaches
how to deal with the stresses of modern life, improves one's general
health, and can lead to the realization that we are one with the
universe. Several methods of effective meditation are described. This
is a book that will cause even the casual reader to want to meditate.”

Sawai
Atsuhiro’s The True Paths to Meditation masterfully explains simple and
profound forms of meditation, which the author learned from the
celebrated founder of yoga in Japan, Nakamura Tempu. Mr. Nakamura taught
Shin-shin-toitsu-do (“The Way of Mind and Body Unification”) for five
decades, authored popular books and trained many of Japan’s most notable
people in government, business, sports, martial arts, and
entertainment.
As one of Mr. Nakamura’s closest students, Mr.
Sawai received the highest level of teaching certification in
Shin-shin-toitsu-do from him. He is a retired college professor and a
bestselling author of meditation books in Japan. He is also the
President of the International Japanese Yoga Association in Kyoto, which
has members in over 20 nations.
In The True Paths to Meditation,
his first English language book specifically written for Westerners,
Mr. Sawai provides comprehensive insights into his unique life
philosophy, evolved from over 50 years of Zen and yogic meditation. He
also introduces methods to release the power of ki—the life energy of
the universe. Using the forms of meditation in this book, you can
realize deeper calmness, concentration, willpower, and a more positive
way of living.
Complete with useful photos, a handy glossary, and
suggestions for ongoing practice, The True Paths to Meditation will
appeal to folks new to meditation as well as experienced meditators.
