Simon Cole

From the author of "Stillness in Mind", a widely respected counsellor and meditation teacher in the UK, France and online, here is a pocketbook of 24 meditations for the everyday. Life situations, emotions, day-to-day difficulties, all with their own special treatment. Each has a short piece to read and contemplate to set the tone and background atmosphere, and then the narrative of the meditation itself, accompanied with a mantra. There is also a guide to using the meditations as an occasional activity or in the context of a regular practice.

Une maison dans le Cantal (France), dont l'auteur et le traducteur de ce livre ont t propri taires successivement, a permis une rencontre litt raire dans les montagnes d'Auvergne et la traduction du r cit de ce livre. "Le myst re du tr sor de Sistrius en Auvergne" est une histoire qui se d roule dans le monde rural du Cantal. (Auvergne, France). This house in the Cantal (France), owned successively by the author and translator of this book, led to a literary encounter in the Auvergne mountains and translation of the tale in this book. "The Treasure of Sistrius - A Mystery in the Auvergne" is a short storie in English about rural life in the Cantal (in the Auvergne region of France).

This is not your typical meditation book. No Sanskrit terms, no gurus, no mystique. Less a set of instructions, more a challenge to the reader to work on themselves within the framework the author sets out. Simon Cole has formulated a meditation path for a modern age, grounded in Western therapeutic tradition. He draws on eminent thinkers in the field of therapy and human relations - Buber, Rogers and Gendlin. He introduces into meditation 'felt-sense' and 'kindly attention' and invites the reader to sit alongside themselves and truly discover the person they are.
