    Book SynopsisWhat Would You Give to Lead a Bold, Satisfying, and Successful Life?Author Mitch Horowitz (“solid gold”—David Lynch) asks you to give one thing: your mental focus for just 30 days.In The 30-Day Mental Challenge, Mitch guides you through one simple exercise—so simple, in fact, that you may not believe it can change anything. But, like thousands who have tried, you will be surprised.You are to direct your thoughts for 30 days toward what is productive, forwarding, and promising—and to believe that every reasonable ambition is within your reach. That’s it. Simple as it sounds, however, this exercise places you in front of tremendous and unforeseen challenges. Hence, Mitch guides you—with realism, bluntness, and authentic ideals—through each day to help you stay on track, contend with pitfalls (which are many), and witness concrete results.Effort is all it takes. Will you try? Many have said yes only to drop off. Many others have stayed on. Their testimonies appear in the book, including:“I always dismissed the ‘positive thought’ movement as something somehow beneath me, preferring complicated and arduous meditation and nuanced esoteric rituals for my own self-improvement journey…These meditations have been a lifesaver during a very challenging time. No lie.”“This has been transformative beyond expectation.”“The 30-day challenge has helped me overcome so many obstacles and I feel so grateful. Magick is real and man, it is such a beautiful, positive thing!” Your time is now. Join The 30-Day Mental Challenge.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisNonlocal Nature: The Eight Circuits of Consciousness is a modern manual for self-realization. Some philosophers have postulated that the human nervous system is composed of a series of neurological circuits - eight of them - which are responsible for determining the broad range of behaviors humans, and potentially other creatures, exhibit. Biological safety, emotion and status, speaking and reasoning, social behaviors, and higher states of mind are all outlined in a coherent fashion in this eight circuit scheme, which is presented in such a way as to be relatable to and understandable by anyone. Coming to see ourselves, not necessarily as we would like to be, but rather as we are, can free us over time from the various degrees of bondage and suffering with which too many of us are afflicted. This book is less about the fast track to enlightenment and more about achieving a higher degree of internal and external freedom through the acknowledgment and experience of our true natures. Anyone interested in taking (and enjoying) the ride is welcome!

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisA unique, adaptable model for meditation practice that ties together elements of the various Buddhist traditionsThe deceptively simple three-phase method presented in Three Steps to Awakening is a meditation practice that can be worked with for a lifetime. Larry Rosenberg looks to Zen, Insight Meditation, and the teachings of J. Krishnamurti to find three kinds of meditation that anyone can do and that complement each other in a wonderful way: (1) breath awareness, (2) breath as anchor, and (3) choiceless awareness.Having the three methods in one’s repertoire gives one meditation resources for any life situation. In a time of stress, for example, one might use breath awareness exclusively. Or on an extended retreat, one might find choiceless awareness more appropriate. The three-step method has been taught to Larry’s students at the Cambridge Meditation Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for many years.After teaching the three-step method, Larry goes on to show how to bring the awareness gained in meditation to the world off the cushion, into relationships and into all areas of daily life.

  • Telementation: Cosmic Feeling & the Law of

    Progressive Press Telementation: Cosmic Feeling & the Law of

    Book SynopsisTelementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognised by shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. This is a short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction with great ease and productivity, by directing one''s inner feelings in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated due to their great efforts and poor results. In Telementation, this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution in one''s life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical inner peace. Telementation is also particularly productive for those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by conventional methods.

Fans of Untamed, this is your next favorite read.” —POPSUGAR“I’ve fallen in love with Jamie’s words and how she so effortlessly can make us feel united with them.

She is a real light in this world.” —Lucy Hale, Award-Winning Actress from Pretty Little Liars, The Hating Game, and moreBlending memoir, sharp social insights, and unique practical tools, author Jamie Varon is your guide to radical contentment—a satisfied life outside the bounds of societal expectations. Too many of us are waiting for our lives to begin, putting our happiness on layaway for some future version where it all lines up, when we’ve accomplished it all, when we have the perfect career, bodies, partners, and when our lives finally feel “good enough.” But what is good enough? Who gets to decide? And when do we ever reach it? Jamie takes a sharp, incisive look at the industries that are constantly telling us to do more, be more, and keep striving, pushing, and hustling—and shows you how to radically opt out of societal conditioning. We’ve learned to be terrified of contentment, thinking it will lead us to complacency. Yet, being content in a world that profits off our dissatisfaction is not complacency. It’s revolutionary.Radically Content makes the case for a new framework of living. Exploring themes like guilt, I’ll be happy when…, anxiety, settling, control, healing, shame, self-trust, and being our own worst enemies—not only will you unlearn the dogma of that discontent, but learn practical tools to create a more satisfied life for yourself, including: Cultivating real self-trust Defining your own version of “success” Living with intention Rewriting your personal narrative Creating consistent and healing rituals Packed with revelatory insights, Radically Content is an exhale. A respite from the chaos of our current world.

    Book SynopsisDiscover a moment of peace with these inspiring words and soothing images which all connect to the ‘blue mind’ – the effect of feeling calmed by nearness to water and the colour blue. Water, and the elements associated with water, whether ocean, lake or even swimming pool, can evoke an immediate sensory response in us – it calms us and soothes us.

This beautiful gift book features stunning images of waterside settings accompanied by peaceful inspirations, meditations and quotations, all designed to promote a mindful mindset. From the colour blue to words describing how we feel being in or around water, welcome the benefits of ‘blue mind’ into your life. Mantras include: ‘In one drop of water are found all the secrets of the oceans’ (Kahlil Gibran); ‘When I sit here by the sea and listen to the sound of waves, I feel free from all obligations and people of this world’ (Henry Thoreau).

    Book SynopsisThe Tarot is one of the richest of all Western mystical traditions, used for centuries for divination, meditation and self-discovery. This book offers a brilliant practical overview for the modern seeker who wishes to use this system to explore their hidden anxieties, desires, tensions and contradictions. Destiny is not a set of circumstances dreamed up randomly by fate but a path that unfolds from self-understanding. This book shows how the Tarot can be used to illuminate that path. The author describes the history and symbolism of the Tarot, and then goes on to clarify in detail the meanings of the individual cards of the Major and Minor Arcana and the special characteristics of the four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles). An original and very helpful section explains how to deal and read the cards in tried-and-tested formats, such as the Horseshoe and the Celtic Cross. To illustrate the book David Fontana has chosen a much-acclaimed, specially devised deck, using traditional symbolism rooted in medieval and Renaissance practice. However, the text applies equally well to other popular decks in modern use, such as the Rider-Waite deck.An invaluable feature of the book is the selection of special workshops - readings and interpretations, based on the circumstances of individual seekers.

    Sequoia Books Myths of Mindfulness

    20 in stock

    Book SynopsisInterest in mindfulness has been booming in recent decades, but a lot of misconceptions have grown up around this ancient practice, some of which can cause serious harm. In this book, clinical psychologist, researcher, and Zen master Dr. Richard Sears carefully separates the myths from the facts. He explores myths about the origins of mindfulness, what mindfulness is, how it is similar to and different from other techniques, the practice of mindfulness, its magical and mystical effects, mindfulness and mental and physical health, and about using mindfulness in daily life. Far more than just debunking myths, Dr. Sears points out the profound ways that mindfulness can help us move through our struggles and enrich our lives with inspiring stories and practical tips. The realities of mindfulness are so much more fascinating than the myths.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Myths about the Origins of Mindfulness Mindfulness is strictly a religious practice. Mindfulness comes from Buddhism. If you are not practicing the full ethical code of Buddhism, you are not doing real mindfulness. Mindfulness practice makes you a Zen master. Chapter 2: Myths about What Mindfulness Is Mindfulness makes you feel better. Mindfulness makes you feel worse. Mindfulness is about thinking positive. Mindfulness makes you happy. Mindfulness is about having a clear, empty, or blank mind. Mindfulness is about changing consciousness. When you are mindful, you rise above your emotions. Mindfulness requires nonjudgmental acceptance of things. Chapter 3: Myths about How Mindfulness is Similar and Different Mindfulness is just breathing. Mindfulness is the same as meditation. Mindfulness is about visualizing peaceful scenes and positive outcomes. Mindfulness is the same as relaxation. Mindfulness is a kind of self-hypnosis. Chapter 4: Myths about The Practice of Mindfulness Only great saints can do mindfulness - it's not for me. Mindfulness can only be done with formal, daily exercises. Mindfulness takes a great deal of effort. Mindfulness can only be done sitting still. Mindfulness can only be done with eyes closed. Mindfulness exercises have to be at least 45 minutes long. You must move slowly to be mindful. Chapter 5: Myths about the Magical and Mystical Effects of Mindfulness Practice Mindfulness gives you ESP or magical powers. Mindfulness is a mystical practice that makes you one with the universe. Mindfulness gives you the meaning of life. There are secret, advanced forms of mindfulness. Chapter 6: Myths about Mindfulness and Mental and Physical Health Mindfulness completely rewires the brain. Mindfulness cures mental disorders. Mindfulness always eliminates chronic pain. Mindfulness cures medical diseases and makes you live a much longer lifespan. Chapter 7: Myths about Mindfulness in Daily Life and Work You can only be mindful in a peaceful setting. It is important to be mindful at all times. If you become too mindful, you will become unfeeling, and lose compassion for others. If someone is mindful, they will forget appointments and responsibilities. It takes years to become mindful. Mindfulness interferes with your ability to work. I don't have time to be mindful.

Based on her Stress Less, Live Better Program developed for moms and busy people, these skill sets are practical and simplified to fit in your life. Complete with exercises and opportunities for reflection, this book will guide you on your journey to stress less and live better. "Mindfulness techniques are very often dismissed as irrelevant practice. However, Dr. Sanford provides her readers with many references proving mindfulness to be an evidence-based practice. The feeling of overall calm throughout the book, left me feeling relaxed and less stressed – a testament to testing out her steps to decrease worry, anxiety, and self-criticism." -Stephanie Carroll BS, IBCLC, CLS, CLC "Working with Diane and practicing mindfulness has changed my life in so many positive ways. It sounds so simple & easy but it isn’t. It takes understanding, belief and dedication for it to work.Practicing mindfulness has helped me have less anxiety and worry less and enabled me to enjoy life more." -Lynn Campbell "I first came to see Dr. Sanford intending to tackle my all issues, battle all my demons – to fix all my problems. When she suggested I spend some time each day NOT wrestling with my problems, well … I was skeptical. However, with her guidance I learned a new approach. Now when a situation arises that feels like a crisis, I can put it aside, focus on better thoughts, wait for a resolution, and later if the problem is still there – and so often it is not – I can deal with it calmly. This new attitude has quite simply changed my life." -Ellen Schmidt

    Book SynopsisThe author reached a level in meditation that rare people do. He says: I believe that the human physical system has two main compartments the outer or the upper, and the inner or the deeper. Most spiritual philosophers describe, what I call the deeper as subtle or astral body and diagrammatically depict it as being above the outer body. As I experienced, the second physical system exists inside the body itself; I call it the inner or the deeper physical. The two compartments are closely interlinked, with constant interaction, without a clear-cut line of demarcation and have a considerable overlap in functions and responses.
