Review of "The Warrior's Meditation" on 'Goodreads'
Read this.
Richard Haight is the real deal. I have read a number of texts on meditation, and dabbled with many styles. Richard’s Total Embodiment Method is the most straight forward and pragmatic approach to meditation that I have found.
Richard writes incredibly well. He is very clear, and thorough, while making the information accessible to people coming from any number of background. Whether it be traditional meditation, neuroscience, psychology—Richard finds a way to make his message land; it cuts through the nonsense in a really profound and beautiful way.
If you are interesting in beginning meditation, or have been meditating and are looking to expand your practice, I could not recommend this book strongly enough.

I liked the author’s unique take on meditation and his presentation of this new way of looking at meditation outside the usual concentration methods. His focus on the five senses, and ultimately using 'spherical' body awareness as the final step in meditation, really has some positive points and actually works (in calming the mind and offering a new perspective to live from). He also includes some very useful information on general lifestyle supporting tips, such as diet, environment, etc. The book as a whole was about the right length. I really liked the appendix and explanations at the end of the book. Worth a read/listen for anyone interested in different meditation techniques and perspectives
I have read a few books on mindfulness and meditation, and typically find them educational and constructive in helping me develop my own practice. This book not so much. It was a short read, however not engaging in the least, and the story of living as a Samurai, which I thought would be so interesting, was definitely not.
The last 6 or so summary pages are the highlight of the book and the only real value I got out of it. I feel very cynical about this book, as others said it was great, but for me it was far from it. Wish I had $16.98 back.
