Getting in the Gap (includes free meditation CD)
Review (last 5 for this product, read more)




By Vernon Marshall View ProfileThis is a little book with a lot of instruction. Its subtitle is Making Conscious Contact with God Through Meditation. The book deals with a form of meditation called Japa meditation. This is based on a word meaning "to say the name of God many times" and is a sort of mantra. The "Gap" referred to in the book's title is the gap between one's thoughts. The aim of the book is simply to enable the reader to be able to meditate by reflecting on those gaps by using the Lord's Prayer in mantra form. The idea is to meditate on the words or phrases individually rather than on the meaning within those words.
There is included in the book a script of a meditation based on the Lords Prayer, or at least the first ten words of it. The book teaches how to use the expulsion of breath with an "ahh!" as the name of God. For example, the reader is asked to reflect on the word "hallowed" and then "hallowed be". The meditator then quickly meditates on the gap between those two thoughts. Then the Japa, the uttering of ahhhhhhhhhh!
What is helpful is the CD that comes with the book with the words of the meditation spoken by the writer. All that I have written may sound confusing but this CD brings some clarity. It is a lovely little book, with only 90 pages, but it is a great asset to those who wish to meditate and who wish to discover a new and different form.
