Activating Latent Awareness Levels Through Ancient Samurai Warrior's Secrets
“The Warrior’s Meditation” book by Richard L. Haight is impeccably unique with esthetic yet practical applications to guide people with knowledge on how to reach an integrative style between meditation and busy daily life. Therefore, meditation is not a separate action or inaction from the rest of one’s life. Intentionally directed awareness injected into the daily activities form the warriors’ meditation and assists in the observance of thoughts, perceptions and feelings to name a few. The warrior’s meditation is not just a technique, but by applying ancient Samurai warrior secrets and Richard’s own individual and unique insights about meditation, a seeker can reach a short path into a beautiful unfoldment of what the Eastern spiritual traditions call “becoming aware of the true nature of the Indweller.”“The Warrior’s Meditation is not just an accumulation of awareness, but also a shedding, a dismantling of conditioned programming in its deconstruction. This does not happen in a fell swoop or domino effect, but in a more gradual and sometimes faster paced cascading rhythm. Imagine a fully arrayed kaleidoscope with all its multifaceted pieces: the small pieces disappear exponentially and the larger designs take their place in sight. Every time the kaleidoscope shifts, the more visible the larger designs and therefore, the more beauty is captivated by the seer.What is being captivated? After the release, healing, change and transformation—the observer is so captivated. As a mirror image, there is a discovery that one’s own being is the living and most beauteous divine-human kaleidoscope. Mr. Haight guides meditation focusing on the senses, including the 6th sense, which is the spiritual “beyond the beyond” and he calls it “spherical awareness”, where there is an expansion to the unified field. Many spiritual traditions aim toward this expansion as it is an ebb and flow of light-energy, the soul. The shifting of the senses, like the shifting of the kaleidoscope offers a new sense of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling and esthetic feeling of expanding awareness. The discoveries from the explorations lead to the daily sensorium of the unity between dualities. Richard’s surprising humor springs up when least expected, so it’s delightful as well as informative. He addresses some pitfalls and makes recommendations on how to avoid them. At every turn, there is refreshing and practical upliftment in this journey to one’s own self-discovery, which does not take a lifetime to attain, but meets with daily access and progress.Actions and the senses are instruments in discovering who we are, which leads to “spherical awareness” for extending the senses outward and conversely, inward in a rhythm of ebb and flow like the ocean---or rippling out and then whirl pooling in the center. By this very method, people can reach that center within, which is the collapse of the intention, since we pay more attention to the material world, where balance is compromised. People then expand outward by keeping open their awareness levels and thus balancing the dance of receptivity and allowance. In unification of both inner and outer fields, we can then enjoy holistically in engaging with the inner & outer sensorium in a spirit of freedom, wisdom and unification. Just fifteen minutes in the morning until it is built into the human system which Mr. Haight declares that meditation is natural and while difficult to begin with, is interwoven into the system, and with practice, becomes paradoxically easy because of its natural ability. Yet, the effort we give to enhance our lives so we can live to the fullest is well worth the challenges or obstacles that may come in the way. You are bridging a new way for the integration of meditation to be realized into the moment to moment spheres of awareness with all activities. Flash meditations are used to retrieve the awareness elements if one finds themselves in the old patterns or conditions.Cynthia Blackstone, Amazon Customer

Meditation isn’t something you do, it’s a way of life.
This book revolutionized how I think about meditation. I used to think it was something that needed ideal conditions to truly master (e.g., quiet room, sitting down), but now I see that this was a limited mindset as to the true capabilities that meditation offers us. The fact that meditation can be practiced in virtually any setting and time, including while reading, was an eye-opener for me.I have read other books on meditation, but this one was by far the most practical handbook for actually applying meditation in one’s life. The steps are very helpful as a guide to get you started, but you can also transform what the book offers into your own unique meditative experience. All the tools are included to help you do this.I felt that Richard Haight was my personal trainer with his personable writing style – it was a highly enjoyable read. Also, there was much more depth as to discussing different forms of meditation that I had never heard of in other books or in online articles. I certainly did feel that I was learning “secret” techniques from an expert, and I was glad the author chose to reveal them.I am someone who has read about 400 books, and this is one of the most enlightening books I have read. Many books will scratch at the surface of what the true problem is with many of us anxious, overworked, overstressed humans. For many of us, perhaps a root cause is simply that we exercise one type of being and awareness 99% of the time, and ignore another side to ourselves entirely. That other side is what this book will help with – feeling more in tuned with nature, more aware, more at ease and relaxed, ready to handle anything without the stress. Our minds need a break from the rigid, high-stressed and focused states that we tend to be in all day – meditation is one path to accomplish this.There usually is not one panacea to living a good life, and so I appreciated that the author touched on some other aspects of living a good life, such as healthy eating and paying attention to our emotional states. This is quite a holistic book to helping promote your wellbeing and to overcome the problems of your life.I suggest reading “The Warrior’s Meditation” twice and taking some notes on the book to gain the biggest benefits. On a first reading, you may not fully grasp the power of this book.I feel truly blessed that a good friend of mine recommended this book to me. Read this book, be blessed, and bless someone else with it.I. C. Robledo, Author in "Mind & Brain Improvement"To learn more, search my name in your Amazon search bar.

Seems to be helping....
I purchased this as a gift for a warrior that I know and so far, they are really into it and specified that it helped shift his perspective on meditation to a more accessible one. The author has some videos online so, it’s more expansive to be able to check those out while reading the book.
