eBook Description:  From Medication to Meditation exactly addresses itself to the current movement towards combining the Western science of the outer--conventional medical science--with the Eastern science of the inner, meditation. Rather than the usual "turf battles" that plague this field, here we have a truly rounded view, which supports the intelligent use of the most appropriate treatment approach for every situation. In a world where millions of dollars are spent on medications to help people relax, it is clear that psychological stress and tension are major health concerns worldwide. This book is a comprehensive overview of nonchemical methods for reducing stress and restoring natural balance and relaxation to the human organism.

"These brilliant insights will benefit all those who yearn for experiential knowledge of the field of Pure Potentiality inherent in every human being. This book belongs on every shelf of every library and in the home of all those who seek knowledge of the higher self."--Deepak Chopra
"The title From Medication to Meditation exactly pinpoints the current movement towards combining the Western science of the outer--conventional medical science--with the Eastern science of the inner, meditation. Rather than the usual 'turf battles' that plague this field, here we have a truly rounded view which supports the intelligent use of the most appropriate modality for every situation."--Peter, a 45-year old doctor from Germany "Relaxation needed--Just think of the millions and millions of dollars the world is spending to create chemicals, medicine for relaxation. Relaxation at any price seems to be one of the most important things for people in these days. This book shows "no-chemical" ways to reduce stress and bring people back to a natural state of relaxation, which we have almost forgotten about."--Customer Reviews at BN.com
Massage is something that you can start learning but you never finish. It goes on and on, and the experience becomes continuously deeper and deeper, and higher and higher. Massage is one of the most subtle arts--and it is not only a question of expertise. It is more a question of love.
Learn the technique--then forget it. Then just feel, and move by feeling. When you learn deeply, ninety percent of the work is done by love, ten percent by the technique. By just the very touch, a loving touch, something relaxes in the body.
If you love and feel compassion for the other person, and feel the ultimate value of him; if you don't treat him as if he is a mechanism to be put right, but an energy of tremendous value; if you are grateful that he trusts you and allows you to play with his energy--then by and by you will feel as if you are playing on an organ. The whole body becomes the keys of the organ and you can feel that a harmony is created inside the body. Not only will the person be helped, but you also. Massage is needed in the world because love has disappeared. Once the very touch of lovers was enough. A mother touched the child, played with his body, and it was massage. The husband played with the body of his woman and it was massage; it was enough, more than enough. It was deep relaxation and part of love. But that has disappeared from the world. By and by we have forgotten where to touch, how to touch, how deep to touch. In fact touch is one of the most forgotten languages. We have become almost awkward in touching, because the very word has been corrupted by so-called religious people. They have given it a sexual color. The word has become sexual and people have become afraid. Everybody is on guard not to be touched unless he allows it. Now in the West the other extreme has come. Touch and massage have become sexual. Now massage is just a cover, a blanket, for sexuality. In fact neither touch nor massage are sexual. They are functions of love. When love falls from its height it becomes sex, and then it becomes ugly. So be prayerful. When you touch the body of a person be prayerful--as if God himself is there, and you are just serving him. Flow with total energy. And whenever you see the body flowing and the energy creating a new pattern of harmony, you will feel a delight that you have never felt before. You will fall into deep meditation. While massaging, just massage. Don't think of other things because those are distractions. Be in your fingers and your hands as if your whole being, your whole soul is there. Don't let it be just a touch of the body. Your whole soul enters into the body of the other, penetrates it, relaxes the deepest complexes. And make it a play. Don't do it as a job; make it a game and take it as fun. Laugh and let the other laugh too.
