Little Book of Dragon Meditations

James R. Agapoff

Description

In the Asian traditions, the dragon is a positive symbol associated with wisdom, fertility, and good fortune. Modern western culture has appropriated this progressive view of dragons, imparting upon them virtues such as strength, truth, and fearlessness. Using the dragon as both avatar and object of visualization, one has the ability to harness the dragon's virtues for self-improvement and realization. This book contains ten dragon meditations, which can be performed by practitioners of any skill level.
