We are all on a journey, a journey from illusion to truth. Self-Awareness and Meditation: An Advanced Guide for Meditators looks at both the evolution of consciousness along this journey, and meditation as an integral part of it. A point comes when there is an awakening to the possibility that there is more than the consensus reality, which we have been part of for eons. We know that there is something more - and so our search begins. Eventually, with meditation, our focus moves within as we search for the Self - our true nature - which, until now, has been hidden in illusion, waiting for our awakening and eventual, joyful return.
Self-Awareness and Meditation focuses on the return journey back to the Self. True meditation is a state of awareness which comes naturally as we increasingly align with our soul. We realise that we are not the doer, and then comes a different perspective about allowing our false reality to fall away, and we discover that consciousness, not the ego, has been running the show all the time.

This is an important book bringing together meditation as an integral part of the evolution of consciousness entailing a journey from illusion to truth and the rediscovery of true nature as the Self when we are aligned with our souls. This takes us to a trans-egoic perspective where we realise that the ego has not been running the show. The book is designed as an adjunct to meditation practice rather than a replacement of it. It contextualises the search for the Self within psychology and psychoanalysis, explaining the nature of kundalini and the chakra centres. It gives many meditation pointers and has an excellent chapter on understanding dreams. It discusses levels of initiation as well as more advanced techniques, and at the end there is a useful supplementary course of 22 lessons summarising the content. An excellent resource in the search for Self-awareness. ~ David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer Scientific and Medical Network
There is much written on Eastern spirituality and meditation by western authors. Most of it based on study of historical texts and books. This is problematic because a true understanding of the subject requires the actual experience of it. It is here where Charles Attfield provides truly valuable information and insight, having had close training and guidance for many years under an authentic spiritual master. Furthermore, he is a skilled writer, able to explain and detail the most subtle and profound spiritual experiences, as well as the everyday aspects many on the spiritual path will encounter. I applaud his efforts, knowing that they will find much value to the spiritual seeker. ~ Chris Lober, Synchronicity Associate
A Guide for Advanced Meditators is an in-depth, accurate guide for anyone who practices meditation, especially in the West where traditional terminology is confusing. Charles Attfield has done the hard work of presenting Eastern Meditation wisdom in a form easily understood by the West, in the tradition of his teacher and founder of Synchronicity Foundation, Master Charles Cannon. ~ Jim Clarke, Senior staff member at Synchronicity Foundation
