Prof Kim Hughes Wilhelm from the University of Macau\u2019s (UM) Department of\nEnglish will give talks on her two meditation books, titled The Journey Within<\/i> and Journeys Beyond<\/i>, on Wednesday 24 February\nand Thursday 25 February, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm, in Room 2025, UM Wu Yee Sun\nLibrary. All are welcome.<\/p>
Prof Wilhelm began practicing meditation\nfive years ago, mostly as a means to reduce her high blood pressure. She\nquickly found it essential for achieving a balance between mind, body, and\nspirit (or soul). Noting a lack of knowledge on the part of the public about\nhow to start a meditation practice and how easily the practice can be integrated\ninto today\u2019s busy lifestyle, Prof Wilhelm started a research project that\nlasted over two years and spanned several continents. Nearly 40 practitioners were\ninterviewed during the period, and the two books are transcriptions of the interviews.\nAccording to Prof Wilhelm, the books will be a good read regardless of whether\nor not one is interested in starting a spiritual practice.<\/p>

The talk will be followed by a\nspecial musical performance by Kelsey Wilhelm from the Macao-based band\nConcrete Lotus. Special meditation sessions will be held at 5:15pm at the same venue.<\/p>
