"Finally a book has been written that explains everything you need
to know about meditation and how to get started again. Dr.
Viljoen's wisdom is profound and yet also forgiving for those of us
who've been feeling guilty for not using this ancient
practice."
-Chris Michaels, author of Your Soul's Assignment
"Edward Viljoen is to meditation what water is to thirst. This
marvelous book guides both the novice and the experienced through a
series of steps that aids in quelling the cacophony of everyday
life and allowing the inherent peacefulness of being to emerge in
one's experience and expression of the beauty of life. It is a
constructive and productive guide to living a life that is
balanced, calm and peaceful."
-Kenn Gordon, author of Mind and Manifestation
"Edward Viljoen's new book, The Power of Meditation, is a
gift. It serves as a practical guidebook for those who are new at
spiritual practice, as well as a beautiful reminder of simplicity
and essence for those who have been engaged in spiritual practice
for a lifetime. Edward helps us find the strength we need to be
present with whatever life brings. He takes the reader by the hand,
dispels the mysteries, and makes this elusive thing called
meditation very real and doable."
-Alan Seal, author of Create a World That Works
"The Power of Meditation opens a window from antiquity that
blows in a breath of fresh air for the seeker looking to trade in
the "rush hour rat race" for a "hush hour life break." The
meditation practices that he offers in this book are so inclusive
that even the most skeptical will be hooked in the stillness.
Edward Viljoen has masterfully introduced us to the "new action"
that is sure to inspire and empower people to design and live the
lives of their dreams."
-Kevin Kitrell Ross, author, The Designer Life
"Thank goodness for this book! Until I read The Power of
Meditation, I wondered if something was wrong with me. My
friends and colleagues seemed to have a great relationship with
meditation-they even appeared to enjoy it-while I struggled and
wondered if there was a better way to enlightenment. Now that I've
read The Power of Meditation, I have a renewed enthusiasm
for this spiritual practice and I even look forward to it. Thank
you, Edward!"
-David Bruner, Center for Spiritual Living, San Jose
"Edward Viljoen never ceases to amaze me with his depth of
compassion, wisdom and peacefulness. I believe all this comes from
his personal commitment to all kinds of mindfulness practices. If
he is an example of a person who meditates, then we all should read
this book."
-Kathianne Lewis, Center for Spiritual Living, Seattle
