This is an excellent course. Provides a clear practical overview of major meditation techniques along with analytical insights to help distinguish which ones work best for you and why.

Brilliant meditation. Helped me quiet and then access the stillness of the mind. If you are attempting to become the observer of your mund, this meditation will effectively guide you.
