This wise and delightful guide to the benefits of meditation practices will help readers cultivate a calm, peaceful, and enlightened lifestyle. Drawing from his years of experience as a teacher, spiritual leader, and avid meditator, Edward Viljoen directs readers down the path to enlightenment using wisdom such as:

• Mindfulness practices—Train yourself to become absorbed in a purposefully chosen activity.
• Sitting practices—Reduce the use of mental and physical resources as much as possible by sitting still and silently.
• Creative practices—Employ such devices as journaling, observing, and focusing on a favorite literary or spiritual passage.

Featuring personal anecdotes and stories from the author’s spiritual teachings, The Power of Meditation goes beyond a simple how-to book and offers a wonderful reading experience that will inspire readers to live more wise and fulfilling lives.
