Far more than just another book about meditation, The Power of Stillness comes as close as any book could to having a teacher by your side as you learn to meditate, sitting with you each day and gently guiding you through each meditation. The book provides an easy to follow 30-day program to learn what meditation is, how it might help you, and most importantly, how to do it. The thirty days' worth of step-by-step instruction for developing a regular meditation practice in The Power of Stillness is especially geared to the needs of the beginning meditator.
Meditation serves many functions: seeking direction, calming and stress-relieving, contemplating religious teachings, inspiring creative endeavors, clarifying life’s purpose, delving into our inner selves, and healing or coping with health issues. Millions of people now meditate regularly, and many thousands more are being introduced to the practice. Religious leaders, health care workers, and spiritual teachers all recommend meditation. Twelve-step programs advocate quiet contemplation. Although it is often recommended, meditation is rarely taught and since it is practiced alone and in the privacy of one’s own home, few beginners receive clear direction.
Spanning a vast realm of topics, from visualization and mantras to the theory of unity forgiveness, the mystical experience, and mapping every major shortcut and pitfall along the way, there is no other book on the topic more complete. Whatever your goals and beliefs, the path of meditation remains an unparalleled avenue for exploring life and spirituality to its fullest. The Power of Stillness is above all a practical program suited to any faith. For the serious or just curious, this nondenominational approach takes the practitioner beyond theory, religion, and talk; straight into direct experience.
