Lion's Roar contributor and best-selling author Susan Piver offers signed copies of three of her books to this year's bidders. From meditation and spirituality to relationships and creativity, Susan’s books support readers to discover their unique path.

Start Here Now: An Open-Hearted Guide to the Path and Practice of Meditation 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.

The Wisdom of a Broken Heart When a relationship ends, the anguish and disappointment can be devastating. A broken heart is genuinely traumatic. Typical recommendations to keep busy, move on, repair your hidden flaws, and then forget about it may not be helpful. In these pages, Susan Piver reveals that heartbreak actually creates an opportunity for genuine emotional and spiritual transformation, enabling you to emerge on the other side stronger, softer, and capable of loving with renewed confidence.

How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life. Fear can be conquered. We can meet any situation, important or trivial, old or new, surprising or predictable, with self-confidence, gentleness, and elegance. And we don’t have to change one thing about ourselves to do so. In fact, we already possess all the courage we’ll ever need, and it-not fear-can animate the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world. The ancient practice of meditation can show us how.

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.
