Shambhala Sun contributor and best-selling author Susan Piver has offered a copy of her latest book Start Here Now: An Open-Hearted Guide to the Path and Practice of Meditation  to one lucky bidder. 

If you want to meditate but have no idea where to begin, this book will help you: it contains everything you need to know to start a meditation practice and, even more important, to continue one. It defines what meditation is (and what it is not); dispels the three most common misconceptions about it; advises ways around obstacles; addresses the most frequently asked questions; and shows how meditation can have positive impact on relationships, creativity, and difficult emotions.

Ms. Piver is a meditation instructor and teacher on "love, creativity, and spirituality" and creating an authentic life. Drawing on her decade of practice as a Buddhist and dialog with thousands of her readers, she will help you create a daily practice that supports your highest wishes.
