A book for those of us who long to be able to meditate, but can't sit in a quiet place without having our minds go into overdrive: Nine Designs for Inner Peace: The Ultimate Guide to Meditating with Color, Shape, and Sound (Destiny Books, 2008) by Sarah Tomlinson. Tomlinson is the founder of the Ayurveda-Yoga Institute of New York. She believes that creating yantras (elaborate geometric patterns designed to help those who draw them cultivate a sense of centeredness, inner awareness and peace) is beneficial for energetic people who have found traditional sitting meditation difficult, or for those people who are seeking a new way of tapping deeper into their creative and spiritual selves.
