/lit/, any recommendations on books about meditation? particularly

i've been recommended the mind illuminated and after some four or six months of following the scheduled regime i'm finally starting to see results

just my two cents, but whatever you do, be patient and don't go too hard on yourself because it'll come back to bite you; make sure to practice regularly and diligently though

thanks, i'll check it out. and i doubt i'll be impatient about it, i've meditated before and even when i struggled it was "enjoyable" in a way

you don't need books to meditate. don't overthink it. just google forms of meditation. what helps is visualisations like your mind being a blue open sky and the thoughts are clouds, coming and going. you just observe them without identifying with them, etc

why the fuck do you need books on how to meditate. sit your ass down, don't do shit, don't think shit.

in all seriousness, life circumstance has made it natural for me to where i never realized it was meditaton. kind of odd to me that people work towards being able to observe their own thoughts, explains a lot.
