These aren't meditation courses but these three books are actually favorites of mine. The Dalai Lama's book is filled with inspiration but I really love The DailyOM and have subscribed to their site and get daily inspirations to match the book. What's better? There's a book sale going on at Hay House just in time for the holidays and my favorites are cheap - click on the book pictures to be taken to the site. At these prices guess what the people on my list are getting?
In My Own Words by The Dalai Lama
This fascinating book brings together extracts from some of His Holiness's most powerful writings and talks. As he explains the elements of the Buddha's teachings and the basic practices of meditation, he also engages and reconciles the innovations of modern science with Buddhist perspectives. Serving as the perfect introduction to the Dalai Lama's philosophy, both Buddhist and secular, In My Own Words is just the book for gleaning insights into the mind of one of the world's greatest spiritual icons.

Money and the Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks
This Leading Edge work by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the Non-Physical consciousness Abraham, explains that the two subjects most chronically affected by the powerful Law of Attraction are financial and physical well-being. This book will shine a spotlight on each of the most significant aspects of your life experience and then guide you to the conscious creative control of every aspect of your life, and also goes right to the heart of what most of you are probably troubled by: money and physical health.

This movie is like a follow up to The Secret. I got chills when I watched the preview so I immediately watched the movie on line. Then of course, I had to order the real thing to share with my friends and family. Here is their write up and a link to watch the movie yourself:
This article came out in the local Newspaper and talks about the weekly meditation courses at Michelle's Place, the Breast Cancer Resource Center in Murrieta, CA. My Mother-in-Law and I meet there nearly every Monday to take Rose's class and they have been instrumental in, well, calming her down a bit. While her cancer has been gone for nearly a year, my Father-in-Law has recently been diagnosed with aggressive Prostate cancer and will start his treatments in January. Meditating, and in particular this class, really helps them both remain positive and strong. Many of the products I post here for meditation courses we use the rest of the week, but on Mondays its great to meditate as a group.
When I was growing up Louise Hay was a constant voice in my life. My Grandmother loved her book "You Can Heal Your Life", which is still an outstanding read. Now she has come out with a movie for it and it's amazingly powerful. Click on the link to download a copy or to watch the preview and your life really will start transforming.
Music in the background while I'm working is necessary. Some days I need something with a loud beat and some days I need something a little more soothing (you know those days). This particular CD subtlety changes the environment in my office and soothes my spirit.
Legend holds that mantras recited during the making of a Tibetan Singing Bowl are absorbed into the metal and released into resonant tones when the bowl is "played" with a wooden puja stick. This beautiful and faithful recording of Tibetian singing bowls is superb for relaxation, massage & body work, deep sound meditation, Yoga relaxation, and more. Our 6" diameter bowl (sold separately) includes puja and is handcrafted from seven metals: gold, silver, mercury, copper, iron, tin and lead.
