Excellent Value

 February 3, 2012
By Daniel Paul

This eBook is very well organized and presents great information on the various techniques in an easy to understand manner. There are great how-to tips that I had never heard before. And, of course, he covers the intermediate level meditation subjects – the yogic breath, the inner smile, the breath of fire. I found it time well spent and a great resource after finishing Easy Mantra Meditation For Beginners!

Oceanic Mind Review

By Thouqht

SO MANY TECHNIQUES! This is an absolute must for anyone who likes to have options, or who wants to get into meditation but cannot seem to find something that fits them. This book is great as long as you are willing to be honest with yourself and throw away anything that doesn’t work with you. The author makes some great points about how specific symbols can get in the way, but so can specific techniques! For example, the tongue positioning he suggests for each meditation is pretty much impossible for me and would not be surprised if many people are unable to do it comfortably. Throw it away! This is a great resource for those willing to experiment.

Real meditation for real people

I’ve only just begun to explore meditation and yoga techniques. As a beginner, it’s sometimes difficult to know what to expect from either. However, the Oceanic Mind has allowed me to learn very effective breathing exercises and meditation practices which I now incorporate into my daily life. By simply following Tom Von Deck’s excellent instructions, I have been able to improve my body posture and energy flow through deep breathing and practicing mindfulness. I can’t say enough about this book and the countless benefits that anyone can receive if they approach it with an open mind. I appreciate that Mr. Deck does not preach or even teach in the usual sense. He leads the reader through the basics while also honoring the essential spirit of meditation and yoga. There’s no need for a strict program to be adopted because Mr. Deck allows the reader to develop their own natural system of meditation that suits them best. This is a true gem that will help anyone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or just being a person. I have already developed a sense of inner stillness that I never did before and wish to thank Mr. Deck for sharing his gift with the rest of us. :)

This has to be one of the best books out there on meditation techniques. I am into these types of things and I find that meditation helps me get pass any obstacle in my life, no matter how big it is.

If you are practicing yoga and want to learn more about meditation and how to reach a deepeer level of self-awareness, this book is a must read. I started reading yoga books first, and after I finished Private Yoga Lessons: Yoga for Beginners. Yoga Poses For Beginners That Will Make Your Dog Go “What The…”, this book caught my attention. I was glad I bought it.

This is a great book for readers who sincerely want to learn and apply the information. It is practical, covers many techniques, and gives much insight into the central and specific issues concerning the practice of meditation. The author’s style is personal and humorous, making for a refreshing read.

Good Techniques – Much to Practice

 December 14, 2011
By William

I have found myself thinking about and following many of the meditation techniques in this book. The standing meditation is one I’ve started to practice and I like visualizing the 3rd eye while smiling. For some reason, this one works for me. There’s much to like in this book — although some of it is basic, such as developing right posture, breathing etc. This will be a book I’ll keep handy on my Kindle, as I’m sure I’ll come back to it again and again and find new things in it each time. The tone of it is humorous and light. It’s easy to read and gives a lot to practice and think about.

A Practical, Meaningful, Must-Read

By Justin Lapic

Quite an awesome book. The extensive introductory chapters go into detail about the process of enlightenment. I didn’t even get to practice all the exercises, but just picked the ones I liked the most. I totally want to read it again! Oceanic Mind is a great explanation of what I believe to be the point behind all religions: how to develop into a good, centered, loving person. And much more.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book! Very thorough, easy instructions on the benefits of meditation and how to meditate. I have practiced yoga for over 30 years, and being a yoga teacher now I can confirm that once one gets used to daily meditation there is no stopping, one just goes deeper and deeper, feeling better and better. I will recommend this book to my students along with my own just released book “It’s not about putting your foot behind your ear, an inspiring story of transformation through yoga” ([...]). Thank you!
