Book Description
It is rare for a foreign woman to be accepted for instruction in intensive meditation in a Buddhist temple in Thailand. Jane Hamilton-Merritt writes about this experience from the inside, describing the extraordinary journey into the self, the expansion of her consciousness. In a personal account of her struggles, her fears and her experiences - some euphoric, some terrifying, some beautiful in the form of psychedelic visions and some that were genuinely threatening. A Meditator's Diary is an intellectually disciplined attempt to understand what Buddhist meditation techniques have to offer us, those in the Western world caught up in a cycle of destruction that we cannot control, and shows how to access its secrets. Jane Hamilton-Merritt describes her own dawning understanding of 'compassion without attachment', her eventual arrival at a state of peace and reconciliation and the sense of living flow with the whole of the universe that has transformed her life. Encouraging her readers to try meditation she describes how we can take the first steps on the long road to tranquillity for ourselves.

Book Description
This Book Is Simple, Yet Complete. Secrets for Success is a book I've wanted to write for a decade. Who is this Meditation Book For? If you want to learn basic meditation, or progress further - this book is for you. Feel free to write me directly and ask any questions you have as you practice. If you want to learn from a book that is free from religious bias and undertones - this book is for you. If you want to use meditation to either relax, or reach the amazing states of jhana - this book is for you. Jhanas are a series of mind-states that occur during meditation when the mind is focused and thought has stopped. There is nothing to compare these states of mind to, they are unlike anything you've ever experienced. Much more about them later! If you have been a monk in the past, or some other serious student of meditation and you have yet to be able to experience the higher levels of meditation - this book is for you. Please download and read the preview of this comprehensive meditation book for free! Review by Paul Garrigan:"Vern Lovic is not afraid to tackle these special states of consciousness that fall into the category of jhanas. He not only describes them, but he also provides a path for people to experience these states for themselves. Most non-spiritual meditation manuals will completely ignore the jhanas - probably because these altered states of consciousness tend to have religious connotations. The spiritual books, on the other hand, can give the impression that the jhanas are very mysterious, maybe even dangerous, and not really within reach of beginner meditators. Vern spends a great deal of time discussing the jhanas. He claims that if you follow his approach, you will be able to experience these states while meditating for as little as twenty-minutes per day."Book Review by David Collett:In business there are many books written on what we should all be doing to improve; yet many of the authors are simply writers who have not created a successful business themselves. If you went and spent time with the author, you won't see them running a successful business.For me there is no difference in the way I observe Vern behave or speak in person compared with what he writes about on meditation. That is very important.In chapter 1, Vern covers twelve areas where he feels there has been a change in his life since he started meditating on the breath. The twelve areas he identifies from his own direct experience can all be described as a change in attitude and/or a change in the way he emotionally responds to external events as well as what is happening internally. Just those changes alone, ignoring the Jhanas completely, help to explain where the motivation comes from to want to write about meditation and to share it with others.The activity is so innocent, quick and costless yet provides such large dividends across many areas, when one begins to realize some of the benefits, it is hard not to want to share it with others, so at least they could try it themselves if they want to.That's the feeling I get with Vern. He knows from his own experience that simply spending some time with the breath each day completely and unexpectedly changed his life for the better.If you found a small money tree in a forest somewhere that grew leaves of $100 notes and it only produced two per day, it is likely you wouldn't tell anyone about it. You would keep it to yourself.If that same little tree was producing 400 to 500 $100 notes a day, in time you would realize there is too much just for you. You would want to tell others about it. That's a little how good meditation feels. It feels really good and you just wonder to yourself why more people aren't doing it.

Book Description
'An essential guide to mindfulness, filled with tools and practices that can enhance our well-being.' Arianna Huffington I am here now will inspire you to explore your world with greater curiosity and find moments of mindfulness in everyday life while unleashing your creativity along the way.

Practise meditation with the I am here now audio track, guided by internationally renowned mindfulness teacher Tara Brach. Use the field notes pages to record your findings and capture your insights. 'Mindfulness is a simple and very powerful practice of training our attention. It's simple in that it's really just about paying attention to what's happening here and now (i.e. sensations, thoughts, and emotions) in a non-judgemental way. It's powerful because it can interrupt the habit of getting lost in thoughts, mostly about the future or past, which often generates more stress on top of the real pressures of everyday life.'
