Taoist Yoga by Charles Luk is a good one, it's written in a question answer format too which should help.
I haven't read them yet, but you might want to check out the Yin Shi Bagua meditations by Xie Peiqi. Check www.plumflower.com , they should have a video and book on their baguazhang page.
One of the things with taoist meditation is that if you're looking to do something, like making your body lighter, you'll never get anywhere.
Look for 3-centered meditation, that may be what you are looking for.
This is a method of connecting with energy of the earth and heaven, and then connecting your energy centers starting from above the head, moving to the third eye, then the heart center and finally the lower dan tien, then completing the process by embracing the golden pearl.
This is a good meditation to work with and a great one for activating the energy centers.

It is true that meditation has been shown to slow the metabolic rate to a point much deeper than even the deepest point of deep sleep. This profound rest and relaxation is wonderfully rejuvenating and restorative. Yet, it is not precisely the same quality of rest provided by sleep and dream cycles.
In meditation, though restful, one is also ordinarily completely alert. Further, the brainwave activity during meditation varies from either sleep or dreaming patterns. In a word, meditation and sleep are different states of consciousness; they serve different functions. Sleep cannot provide the benefits of meditation, meditation does not really replace sleep.
Nevertheless, over time, as meditation purifies, refines, and optimizes the functioning of the entire mind/body complex, one is likely to require less and less sleep. Many long-term meditators find that this happens naturally, as body and mind gain energy and function more and more efficiently.

Meditation from the Taoist fields should be taught one to one for clarification and edification, accurately. However if you want to get one of the the most definitive texts on it then look no further than Charles Luk's two books "Toaist Yoga" and "Secrets of Chinese Meditation". These contain the teachings of the most famous modern dat lay-Taoist meditation practitioner Yin Shih Tzu. Many Masters recognise his definitve work and documented exeriences in it at a very high level.
