I managed to learn it from some teachers and an online course eventually. What I realized was that although meditation is supposed to be simple, there are many complicated instructions in the market. Hence, I am writing this book to help you to learn and understand meditation better. I hope that you will enjoy this book and this book will help you to improve your practice if you are already an avid meditator.

Meditation is a way for nourishing and blossoming the divinity within you.
