Books & CDs by Eric Harrison
The Art of Awareness
Published 2007 by PMC. 168 pages.
Distributor: Brumby Books
Available from PMC: $25 + $5 postage
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.

The Five Minute Meditator
Fully revised 2nd edition, published by PMC, 2005. 176 pages.
Distributor: Brumby Books
Available from PMC: $25 + $5 postage
The 5-Minute Meditator is printed in full colour with over a hundred photos, diagrams and cartoons. It contains 42 exercises to help you calm your body and mind in short bursts throughout the day. Learn to ‘be present’, to be more sensual and just ‘do what you are doing’. Once you know how, you can relax 50% in just two or three minutes, and stay relaxed thereafter while you walk, eat, work, shop, wait or do exercise or housework. Since short meditations naturally grow into longer ones when circumstances allow, this book is an excellent introduction to meditation itself. To order, see below.
