does anyone know of any books/websites about meditation that do not feature the word "spiritual"? i'm interested in meditation, but i need like, "non-spiritual meditation", or "meditation for quasi-athiests".

Yay? Nay?

"Breathe in the infinite peace of the spiritual universe. Feel your heart opening and expanding as that peace flows into your being like a golden light."

i read shit like the above, on every web page, and it hurts my soul. i need meditation without the bs.

You're doing it wrong.

There are lots of different types of meditation...

Personally when I meditate I just sit completely still in a dark room and take deep, regular breaths for like half an hour to an hour. Pretty relaxing.

I agree that there's way too much bunk in typical "guides" to meditation. I don't think you need a "guide," personally. I just treat it as a way to let my mind clear up and become more still and focused.

YAYYYYYY
