Did you know that one of the best-selling poets in the U.S. today is a Persian mystic who lived in the thirteenth century? Mawlana Jalal-ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, known in the West simply as Rumi, was born in 1207, a Sufi theologian and poet whose words spoke of love, unity with God, and spiritual growth. Rumi and his followers believed in employing music, poetry, and dance to become closer to God, and their sema is dancing prayer practiced by them. We know them best as the Whirling Dervishes. Although hundreds of years have passed since Rumi's life and death, his poetry continues to appeal to readers the world over, who remain open to the miraculous power of love. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Rumi Meditations, Yahiya Emerick, the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Islam, brings the unique practice of moving meditation to American readers of today. More than 40 meditations based on Rumi's poems will leave them drunk with the divine love Rumi continues to inspire.

Whether you can meditate or not, you can always be mindful! Mindfulness embraces a Buddhist concept of living in the moment. Using mindfulness for everyday living is a powerful tool for adding meaning to life, for solving problems both physical and emotional, and for increasing self-awareness. When a person lives mindfully, he or she is open, honest, and active-there is no room for passivity or holding back. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Mindfulnessis a complete guide for the many people turning to mindfulness as a balancing force in their lives as a way to cope with bombarding information, anxiety, stress, and pressure in their 24-hour, real-time days. Increasing studies of mindfulness techniques show that they can reduce physical pain and alleviate stress, and those techniques can be practiced anywhere-at home, at school, or at work. Mindfulness is more than mediation, and you don't have to be a Zen master to practice it!
