The Art of Awareness by Eric Harrison
Meditation is much more than a relaxation technique. It can also give you a calm, clear and self-observant quality of mind that we call 'awareness' or 'mindfulness'. To be aware means you are fully 'present' with whatever you do, and can see your thoughts and emotions with detachment and insight. This leads to inner balance and self-understanding, and the kind of deep, intelligent thought that is the true reward of meditation. This book complements The 5-Minute Meditator, and together with the CDs makes a complete package. The 5-Minute Meditator is about relaxing anywhere and anytime. This book is about doing longer meditations in silence, while deepening your stillness and clarity of mind.
