Meditation Instructions, Meditations, Exercises, Verses for Living a Spiritual Year, Prayers for the Dead & Other Practices for Beginning and Experienced Practitioners

Given Rudolf Steiner's accomplishments in so many fields, it is easy to forget that perhaps Steiner's greatest gift was as a spiritual researcher, meditator, and meditation teacher. Meditation was the source of everything he did. Drawing on many Western traditions―Rosicrucian, alchemical, esoteric Christian, Masonic, philosophical, and Theosophical―Steiner practiced and penetrated these to create his anthroposophy or spiritual science.

Unique in any language, Start Now! is an inspiring guide to meditation and an extensive, representative sample of Steiner's spiritual instructions and meditative practices. Structured in chapters that lead the reader from basic instructions and practices to more advanced work with verses, meditations, and visualizations, it is certain to become a classic, indispensable text for those who are interested in Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science, as well as for all serious spiritual seekers.

The introduction by Christopher Bamford provides a background for Rudolf Steiner's path and gives a context for many of the events behind the genesis of this modern path of initiation.
