Editorial Review:
This book's author, an experienced meditation teacher, describes how meditation can be used to complement standard medical procedures, improving physical health and helping to eliminate stress-related problems. She introduces readers to fundamental principles of self-healing, awareness-building, and creative imagery as techniques for reducing physi-cal pain and emotional distress. Techniques she discusses in detail include body postures, hand positions, breath control, and the Chakra system, among others. She advises on spe-cific meditation solutions to relieve back pain, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, low-grade fevers, colds and flu, respiratory disorders, and digestive problems. She also recommends meditation for emotional problems including anger management, depression, and build-ing self-esteem. Meditation is explained as being useful to enhance life's good and nor-mal aspects, such as the sex and creativity drives. Filled with practical advice and sugges-tions, The Meditation Doctor is a fine resource book for all who are interested in explor-ing the many benefits of meditation therapy.

Rating:  - Recommended with some reservations and caution
Stylistically the book seems to surf the wave of the success of The Food Doctor (except in this case, Martina is not a doctor). It has very clear layout with a reliance on insipid stock-photo imagery. In fact, the prescriptive meditations following the general instructions seem to take on a recipe-like format: each begins with a simple summary, and then a table of distinguishing factors such as duration in minutes, difficulty level, frequency, etc. is shown next to their corresponding color icon, ...

I practice meditations from the Meditation Doctor in the morning before work, and allow myself time in the work day to sit in stillness and use techniques to center myself. I feel clearer, more grounded, and more present to the people I work with as well as to my family and friends.
Rating: - Meditation for Mind and Body
Of all the meditation books I have consulted, The Meditation Doctor is the most beautifully designed and the most accessible while offering resources to those readers who have varying degrees of experience with meditation. I have given this book to many friends and they regularly make references to techniques that help them with sinus headaches, fatigue, and back pain. The colorful photographs and illustrations along with the inspiring meditations make this the perfect mind-body text.
Rating: - A treasure!
This book is destined to become a classic. It is beautifully written and photographed with helpful illustrations that make the techniques easy to follow. The author draws from a rich tradition of both western and eastern techniques. The book offers guided meditation and imagery to address common ailments such as headaches, back aches, nausea and cold symptoms. The author also provides basics in meditation postures and breathe work. The book is a treasure!
Rating: - Being in tune
The Meditation Doctor has been a benificial guide for my personal and spritual growth. Martina Glasscock-Barnes has done an outstanding job on informing and explaining to the reader proper breathing, various sitting positions, history, and providing ways to utilize meditation practices on a daily basis. Before I began meditation practices I was not able to sit still and focus, having characteristics of ADHD. In practicing meditation I have learned how to sit and focus on what my body and mind are ... Read More
