Links to good written material on meditation

I just thought I would place on the blog two links that I have found to be very useful myself, and would recommend to meditation practitioners of all backgrounds. The first is an atricle by Dr Stone from the I AM University website entitled "How to Become an Integrated Spiritual Master of Meditation in a Full Spectrum Prism Synthesis Understanding" which is very good from the point of view of getting an overview of what meditation is, and also getting a feel for the wide variety of ways in which it can be practised. The second is an article by an english Buddhist Monk by the name of Ajahn Brahmavamso entitled "The Basic Method of Meditation" although this article explains meditation from the point of view of a particular Buddhist school, I feel that the basic practises it outlines; that of letting go, present moment awareness, silent awareness and sustained attention to the breathing are techniques that are universally applicable, and any meditator from any mystery school or tradition can benefit from understanding and practising them.
Enjoy!
