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. Meditation serves many functions: seeking direction, calming and stress relief, contemplating religious teachings, inspiration for creative endeavors, clarification of life’s purpose, delving into our inner selves, 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 recommend quiet contemplation. Although it is often recommended, meditation is rarely taught. Since it is practiced alone and in the privacy of one’s own home, few beginners receive clear direction.

From the Author

I wrote this book to fill a need. When I first studied meditation, the books available always left me struggling for clear directions for practicing, for purpose, and for structure. So I designed this book to be a hands-on experience for the reader. I wanted to come as close as I could to sitting down with the reader, holding their hand, and leading them through their beginning experiences with meditative practice. By the time you finish the book, you will have thirty days worth of experience behind you, all explained in a simple, step-by-step format.

While specifically fitted to the needs of the beginner, I have also been told that the book inspires ex-meditators to get back into their practice; and for those who feel that their practice has grown stale, the book revives their interest and broadens their perspective of the practice. It is a nondenominational teaching, so there are no religious limitations either.

And more than just meditation, the book is about creating a fresh, quiet space in your life, and touching and exploring the spiritual realm of the human experience. It is about evolution; not the evolution of the body and physical world, but of the internal realm. Ultimately it is simply about growing, learning to care for others and foster peaceful relationships, becoming more human. To me this is the heart of meditative practice, what it is for.
