I recently started using John Kabat-Zinn's guided meditation. I'm going on a vipassna retreat in two weeks. Do any /lit/izens have any more good references? Do any of you guys meditate? Does it help? I find it does but I'm still relatively neophyte and undisciplined and looking for something easier to digest that can help my practice.

This book is basically a re-hashing of Kabat-Zinn, slightly easier to digest. It even has a foreword by him. It's pretty good if you're specifically looking for western oriented mindfulness techniques that distill eastern practices into something more palatable for western academics.
