Designed to be calming, uplifting and engaging, The Meditation Yearbook can be used in a multitude of ways depending on the needs of the reader – either as a year long journey into all the different types of meditation, or as a fun exploratory tool to introduce them to new meditation styles. As a practice, meditation has significant mental health benefits such as for stress reduction, anxiety management, improving memory and battling intrusive thoughts, but it also has proven physical benefits. Meditation has been shown to help improve the quality of sleep, support lowering of blood pressure, and aid in strengthening the immune system and a bodies response to stress. And yet... making meditation part of daily life can be tricky. When we’re constantly on the go and bombarded with responsibilities, finding the time to meditate can seem impossible, not to mention a little dull to our overstimulated 21st century minds. In The Meditation Yearbook, author Joey Hulin finds the perfect solution to these problems and offers 52 weeks of meditations that make exploring this ancient practice fun, varied and inspiring. Looking at everything from the mind-body connection to Vipassana meditation, this year long tour of meditative practice encourages constant growth and is the perfect way to make meditation part of your life.

Jung's illuminating lectures on the psychology of Eastern spirituality Between 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures addressed a broad range of topics, from dream analysis to the psychology of alchemy. Here for the first time are Jung's illuminating lectures on the psychology of yoga and meditation, delivered between 1938 and 1940. In these lectures, Jung discusses the psychological technique of active imagination, seeking to find parallels with the meditative practices of different yogic and Buddhist traditions. He draws on three texts to introduce his audience to Eastern meditation: Patañjali's Yoga Sûtra, the Amitâyur-dhyâna-sûtra from Chinese Pure Land Buddhism, and the Shrî-chakra-sambhâra Tantra, a scripture related to tantric yoga. The lectures offer a unique opportunity to encounter Jung as he shares his ideas with the general public, providing a rare window on the application of his comparative method while also shedding light on his personal history and psychological development. Featuring an incisive introduction by Martin Liebscher as well as explanations of Jungian concepts and psychological terminology, Psychology of Yoga and Meditation provides invaluable insights into the evolution of Jung's thought and a vital key to understanding his later work.
