This little hardback book is the concluding statement of Barry Long’s teaching, written shortly before he died. 

It’s a concise, step by step account of five stages in spiritual life, from starting to meditate, to being still and bringing that stillness into everyday life until we eventually enter the truth, the reality of ourselves, through a portal in our own bodies. 

Barry described meditation as the art of spiritual life and taught the practice in various ways over three decades. It’s basic to his practical teachings and it is fitting that as his first book was Meditation A Foundation Course, so Right Meditation should be his last. The practice is the beginning and end of everything he taught. 

He wrote: ‘This whole meditation is about you, your deeper reality.’ And indeed so is the whole book - about learning to become more and more real. It’s a shining testament not only to the profundity of the teachings but also to their clarity.
