________________ his is a meditation handbook, intended to instruct students of meditation in techniques for unfolding and experiencing their inner energy, as developed by the ancient meditative traditions of India. Based upon a series of lectures given by the spiritual leader Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu, the first Jain master to come to the United States, each of the first seven chapters deals with one of the seven centers of energy within the body, corresponding to the seven levels of awareness, through which we experience different aspects of our inner life-force, and describes visualizations, mantras, and other methods of meditation for that particular aspect of energy. The eighth chapter applies the psychology of the seven centers to maintaining health and the ninth combines the centers in a single dynamic meditation. In his previous book Realize What You Are: The Dynamics of Jain Meditation, Gurudev introduced the West to the basic concepts of Jain meditation. The present volume advances that instruction for the ever burgeoning number of students, young and old, who are turning to Jain meditation today for increased awareness.
