The Art of Silence: A Guide to Meditation for the Western Mind

By: Aires, Elizabeth

Both the ancients and modern scientists now agree: Meditation offers countless practical benefits. This book explains not simply how to meditate but why this practice is crucial to your overall well-being, to your life. Yes, you will discover how meditation can relieve stress and increase mindfulness, but that's only the beginning. The Art of Silence explores the Western mind and how we have been led away from humanity's true purpose and introduces the many gateways through which you can step towards a deeper exploration of the self and its limitless possibilities. By looking into the history of the West, its philosophies and religions, you'll see how your mind and perspective have been confined, shaped, and molded by the culture in which you and those around you have been steeped. Then, by peeking into the world of quantum mechanics, you can begin to fathom the marvelous discoveries and possibilities that modern science holds out to you and which are inherent in the material world, the world in which we live and dream. Both modern neuroscience and the ancient practice of mindfulness teach us that through meditation it's not only possible but highly probable that you can shape and rewire your brain to become a healthier, happier individual. These changes can bring about states of calm and acceptance and can help qualm the overly-active "monkey-mind" that so often brings negativity into our lives and is so far from our true natures. Discover how you can use this ancient practice to sculpt your mind, change your outlook, and uncover your true authenticity and potential. Discover the art of meditation.
