Books by Colum Hayward

Colum Hayward is the grandson of one of the earliest Western proponents of meditation, Grace Cooke. Teaching it for 30 years, Colum sees it as a set of skills that can be learnt separately, so that the process is real and the practice actually works. In 1998 he wrote Eyes of the Spirit: Working with a Spiritual Teacher about his experience of working with the teacher White Eagle. He has also written a long historical preface to Arthur Conan Doyle's Book of the Beyond and has contributed to the books The View and The View Beyond, about the legacy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Francis Bacon respectively. He holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Cambridge, yet his style is immediate, personal and engaging.
