2,500 years ago, aspiring meditators had to scale treacherous mountains to find a guru who might guide them to spiritual awakening. Today’s spiritual practitioners have a much different problem The marketplace is supersaturated with books, blogs, teachers, centers, and workshops—all who seem to champion a proprietary set of authentic meditative practices. With a limited amount of time, money, and energy, how is anyone supposed to know how to take the first steps?
A Primer on Samatha Meditation offers a solution to this unique problem. This short guide is provided to help aspiring mystics take the initial steps on the path to awakening, healing, and quite often, both. Whether this is your first time on a meditation cushion or you have previously experimented with meditation (but aren’t sure if you’re doing it “right”), this general map will quickly help you get your bearings.
The primer includes
• A history of the practice
• A definition of samatha meditation
• The purpose of the practice
• Recommended resources
• Technical instructions
• An overview of predictable obstacles
• Tips to advance in the practice
• Resources for further study
Kyle Parton has surveyed, deconstructed, and practiced the core meditative techniques found in the major spiritual traditions of the world. He’s boiled them down to the technical details that can be immediately and directly practiced—regardless of your religious tradition. You no longer need to be overwhelmed by the dozens of techniques and traditions available to you. While it’s true that a teacher is eventually needed to progress in meditative practice, this guide clarifies the specific preliminary steps you can take today.
Take this helpful guide with you onto the meditation cushion as you establish (or repair) a solid foundation for your contemplative practice. It will serve as a sound companion until you find your guru at the top of whatever mountain you climb.

Meditation is one of the most rewarding and universal of all spiritual practices. And yet, the real difficulty with meditation is actually DOING it. The sheer effort and discipline involved with getting started and building momentum is daunting to many. What this primer does is map out the most difficult and tenuous stage of practice, the very first steps. With it as a guide, a beginner can take those few steps with confidence and patience, making the discipline much less of a burden. The author brings a practical wisdom to bear on the time when practitioners are most likely to give up. Anyone who hears this wisdom and practices it patiently will be much less likely to give, up, and will be able to enjoy the benefits of the ancient practice.Product details

A Primer on Samatha Meditation edition by Kyle Parton Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I have read about meditation techniques and I think the author is absolutely right when he says basics (mentioned in this book) must be mastered before jumping to advance techniques. For example conscious 'breathing' and 'thought' (self-talk) monitoring.
He is wise to say that we must keep our expectations realistic. Magic rarely happens!
It's clear that the author has read about and practiced various types of meditations from every major religion.
Kyle has summed up the most important facts in an easy to understand book in least words possible.
You get a lot more than your investment.
This primer is a wonderful starting point for anyone looking to begin or expand their personal meditative practice. The instructions are both concise and wholly heartfelt, highlighting the value of ancient practices amidst perfectly modern predicaments. An easy and enjoyable read, this is a reference that I will undoubtedly return to often.
My prior experience with meditation is limited to using various meditation apps. This is precisely the sort of simple direction I needed to begin a more earnest journey. This book is concise enough to read in a single sitting, and nothing is superfluous. After you finish the book, you will feel that you have the sufficient understanding necessary to begin your meditative practice. Highly recommended.
