A two-book meditation-related set from Tarcher Books.

Buddha’s Book of Sleep is the first book to address sleep disturbances with techniques from mindfulness meditation. Yet this is a natural choice—mindfulness meditation has proven effective for psychological problems such as stress, depression, and anxiety, and these very issues are what become sleep problems when your head hits the pillow.

The Power of Meditation from Tarcher Books is "a wise and delightful guide to the benefits of meditation practices that will help readers cultivate a calm, peaceful, and enlightened lifestyle."

Author, 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.
