Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The equation is simple - good breathing and good health go together. Because we breathe naturally, we rarely think about our breath and, yet better understanding of how we breathe could reduce stress and enable us to remain in control throughout every crisis. This little book can help every reader make that simple step forward. In "Don't Hold Your Breath", Jenny Beeken models good ways of breathing. Some of the ways she offers are specific exercises, like alternate nostril breathing, but, underlying them all, is the perception that, with only a small amount of practice, we could be infinitely more content. Although she is schooled in the lyengar tradition, Jenny's approach is as light-hearted as the title suggests. The theme of the book is release. At the same time, breathing is pranayama - the intake of spiritual food - and there is a deep spirituality to be found therein. Guidance on relaxation is part of the book and so is meditation, in a form easily understood by the beginner. Jenny's own life, with a lively daughter and a busy schedule, gives her every opportunity to understand how difficult it may be for all of us to take time and catch our breath. She trained in physics, but took up yoga on realising how well it brought together all that she needed for her own self-healing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Some things are hard to explain in mere words, and meditation is one of them. Sometimes, it takes an artist of humour, skill and originality. Bodel Rikys is such. In a series of drawings with minimal words she has created memorable images. Memorable because they are both profound and quirkily funny. Memorable because, gently, they actually instruct us in the practice of meditation. Bodel thus creates the outstanding book for the MBS Christmas market. A meditation teacher and professional artist, Bodel has always been particularly interested in making meditation accessible and enjoyable.In "MEDITATION IS", her artwork does just that. Bodel began meditating with TM (Transcendental Meditation) in the 1970s but later trained under William Bloom in holistic spirituality. In 2005, a significant "Daily Telegraph" feature celebrated her brand of teaching, which she calls 'Endorphin Meditation' as it is designed to make you happy and content. As an artist, she has worked for the Freud Museum, "Vogue" and the "Financial Times". She has written and illustrated four children's books for The Bodley Head and Penguin USA and she has illustrated three books for Polair prior to this one.She also exhibits in group and solo art shows. A meditation teacher and professional artist, Bodel has always been particularly interested in making meditation accessible and enjoyable. Here, her artwork does just that.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. SEEING YOURSELF IN A NEW LIGHT offers help to anyone who seeks to change their understanding of themselves and others for the better. Finding the positive, understanding what learning really is and releasing self doubt are all part of this approach. It raises our awareness of our relationships to others and why we manifest the emotional states we do. It does this against a background of love and spirituality, suggesting that the principle of love is a divine law which always works for good and for healing, however difficult the road we travel may seem. This book brings the reader a greater understanding of human nature, relationships, defensiveness and fears. It would show that there is a way of approaching these which is in keeping with spiritual teaching as well as with the psychological approach. It seeks to demonstrate what love means around such concepts as the psyche and emotional development and seeks to answer such questions as 'Why do I behave as I do?', 'Why is there a split between what I seem to understand, and what I can put into practice?', 'What does control of my emotions mean?', 'Why do I find things repeating themselves in my life? This book is revolutionary in its approach to people and counselling. Part of the approach is not to separate out client and the counsellor in quite the same way as many systems do, but sees the counselling approach as, at least 'two intelligences working together' (a phrase from Re-evaluation Co-counselling). This book is for anyone who wants to understand themselves better and to grow as an emotionally intelligent being. It is written for those who wish to integrate spiritual philosophy with earthly emotion and thought and it supports those who wish to develop the way they function both as a unique individual and in healthy relationships with others.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Yoga is not just a modern fad, it is one of the oldest forms of bodywork, perhaps even the oldest, that we have. The very length of the tradition behind it is one of the things that appeals to its followers in the West. "Morning Yoga, Evening Yoga" offers two sequences of postures that are popular today. One, the Surya Namaskar, is probably the oldest such sequence in the tradition. It translates to 'Salutation to the Sun,' a name by which it is often known in the West. The second sequence, Chandra Namaskar, is much more recent and is less well known. It translates as 'Salutation to the Moon,' and where Surya Namaskar is traditionally an early morning sequence, Chandra Namaskar is to do before sleeping. "Morning Yoga, Evening Yoga", therefore, has an appeal to both the larks and the owls among those who do yoga. Indeed, it is designed to help owls face the morning better and larks cope with the evening - to become more balanced in their routine. In addition, Janita Stenhouse writes with a rare depth of understanding about the history of the sequences, so that she can enlarge on traditional teaching and provide alternative postures with authority.She, also, knows the Sanskrit texts behind yoga and is familiar with the mantra chants that traditionally accompany the sequences. Almost unique among yoga books, "Morning Yoga, Evening Yoga" is, also, about sound. Janita Stenhouse writes a column for "Yoga and Health" and also has had a regular strip cartoon feature there and in other yoga journals. Offers two sequences of postures such as: the Surya Namaskar - 'Salutation to the Sun,' and Chandra Namaskar - 'Salutation to the Moon.' This book is designed to help owls face the morning better and larks cope with the evening - to become more balanced in their routine. It gives information about the history of the sequences.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An assumption underlying the many books on meditation is that it is good for you! The uniqueness of "Why Meditation Works" is that it explains why. It is both a manual of meditation from the perspective of physical techniques and results and a study of the evidence that meditation relieves stress, enhances mental abilities, particularly concentration, and assists the body in its capacity for healing. James Baltzell is currently Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Minnesota, but spent many years running a practice combining alternative therapies with mainstream general medicine. At this ground-breaking Healing Centre he ran meditation classes for the White Eagle Lodge and, along with his wife, served on the Council of the yoga teacher-training school, Heart Yoga, based in Hampshire, where he developed its teaching of physiology and anatomy. As a practitioner of yoga for nearly three decades, James Blatzell gives a sound teaching of meditation in this book as well as a refreshingly clear medical perspective. Explains why meditation is good for you. This is both a manual of meditation from the perspective of physical techniques and results, and a study of the evidence that meditation relieves stress, enhances mental abilities, particularly concentration, and assists the body in its capacity for healing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Modern studies by neurologists show that what happens in the brain during meditation is unique and has the power actually to change the brain and its way of ordering experience. It also has known advantages for health. Colum Hayward takes as his starting point the clear evidence that meditation is a real form of experience and a skill, and that its regular practice can change everyone's life. He shows that by meditating you can feel safe and therefore better able to deal with others and the challenges of life. You can deal with daily existence better. He shows how you can recognize and enjoy every moment you live, from the moment you accept the new breath through to the moment you release it. He teaches you how to draw vitality from your spiritual practice and use it in life, and he points to the life that you will want to lead when your practice deepens: one that does not damage the rest of life, and rests happily coexisting with the external world. Ultimately, he says, the one who meditates knows a consciousness so strong that death loses its power and fear is no more. Meditation is a practice bringing strength and richness to every minute. A new 'you' develops: gentle, appreciative, connected, sensitive to others, full of inner fire, strong before the winds and waves of life; a non-violent warrior for truth. Offers tips for the meditator and shows how easy the practice can be. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Thirteenth-Century Cathars, slaughtered at Montsegur in 1244, today offer an alternative to mainstream Christianity that, for many, integrates better both with ancient pagan traditions and with modern 'new age' attitudes than does the church. They are used to focus a sense of local pride and independence in the Languedoc of France and they still offer a symbol of largely non-violent resistance against persecution and near-genocide. While they are the source for substantial studies into reincarnation, they, also, give us extraordinary detail to help us understand mediaeval life and the horror of the inquisition. Their spirituality and what it stood for remain alive in countless exemplary ways and it is easy for the picture to become contradictory, contentious and confused. Contributors to THE CATHAR VIEW range from the scholarly to the 'alternative'. Chapters take us from accounts of their predecessors, the Bogomils, through to a review of recent 'heretical' viewpoints about the holy Grail - the basis of the Da Vinci code and the burgeoning legend of Mary Magdalene. There are contributions about Cathar sympathisers such as Otto Rahn, who for many is the original for Indiana Jones, and a look at some of the occultists who have been intrigued by the Cathar inheritance, such as the mysterious Polaires. Also investigated is the landscape of the Languedoc and what it holds for walkers and mystics alike. In sum, this is a unique and valuable contribution to the literature about the Cathars or Albigenses, sympathetic to its subject and offering new clarity about what really underlay their intriguing beliefs. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1919 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published a call to the world to take up the challenges presented to it and enter upon a new age. He called his book THE VITAL MESSAGE and it marks the beginning of a movement often called 'the new age'.Today, many 'new age' thinkers have been drawn imaginatively to the year 2012, for it is the moment at which one of the great achievements of civilization, the Mayan calendar, simply comes to an end. Rather than think of 2012 as an end-date, however, it is probably best to think of it as a new beginning - and an opportunity for today's thinkers to review 'the new age' with its 'vital message' and ask 'Just how far along our road have we come?'In their different ways they take up challenges for us today, suggest ways in which humankind may best move forward, and describe some of the discoveries and innovations which will reshape our lives in the years ahead.Review:"THE VIEW is a complex, in-depth, informative book. Written to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birth, the book's theme emerged from the 1919 publication of his book, THE VITAL MESSAGE, which passionately promoted spiritualism and the existence of life after death. THE VIEW contains contributions from 29 authors discussing the challenges faced by us as a civilisation, and how we can best make use of the future while we approach the critical threats posted to our planet. It analyses what has brought us to the brink of a new spirituality in life, the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. It is divided into chapters covering the life and contribution of ACD towards spirituality;Spirituality; Empowerment and health; Nature, Community and Family;Sustainable Leadership; 2012.
