An interesting take on meditation, even more than that, soul retrieval. It was nice to read again about the impact of nature on the soul and how important it is, not only to get out, but to do so without a goal. So many people get caught up in a certain number of miles or a certain time rather than relaxing and opening to nature.
Read about this book on MindBodyGreen and it definitely could fit with question 4.

Meditation and mindfulness practices are something that I know I can benefit from, but finding information suitable for my absolute novice status can be a challenge. This book is a great start. It is simple and easy to read, and is presented in fairly uncomplicated problem/answer format.
The book is based on tradition Bon Buddhism, and centers around the "three precious pills" - stillness, silence, and spaciousness. It also discusses the five elements (air, water, earth, space, and fire), their associated qualities, and how to figure out if you have too little or too much of any of them.
The book includes formal/informal meditation practices to go along with each chapter, and it recommends that people do - to start - 30 minutes of meditation, eventually bumping up to 30 minutes, twice a day. For someone new like me, I think that will be a bit much to start off with. Actually, I think my goal will be 30 minutes, and I will start with 10. However, as part of the book, there is also a guided meditation that can be downloaded to assist with the path to healing prescribed by the book.
Overall, I look forward to going back and using the book as a guide to working on beginning my own mindfulness practice.
