David & Charles Retreat Yourself
Book SynopsisLeading yourself on a self-led retreat is a truly empowering experience. It?s time to retreat yourself!Attending a wellness retreat offers a sacred space to pause and reconnect, to step off the monotonous treadmill of daily life to rest, restore and re-energise. Given the right setting, guidance and schedule a retreat can be a life-changing experience. However, the true magic of a retreat doesn?t lie in the location, the leader, or the group - no matter how enjoyable they might be. The true magic lies in your ability to choose to participate and to hand yourself over fully to the experience. Any insights, wisdom or inner shifts you experience while on retreat - whether group or self-led - is all owned by and because of you. The retreat is the excuse to pause. The activities are the vehicle for reconnection. The carved-out space for self-reflection is where the real magic happens.Creating your own retreat experience at home or elsewhere is the ultimate act of self-care. Done right, a self-led retreat can be just as powerful, if not more so, than a group experience. Although the bonds formed with others on group retreats can often be one of the highlights for many retreat-goers, navigating group dynamics and different energies can sometimes be distracting and, at times, challenging. A self-led retreat is designed specifically to meet all of your own individual needs, allowing you to connect with yourself on a profoundly deep level.In this spirited guide, readers will plan, design and prepare for their own self-led retreat. A pick n mix of retreat activities, rituals, recipes and more offers support and guidance during the retreat experience, with suggestions on how readers can integrate learning and insights after the retreat has been completed.

Hachette Australia Opening the Door of Your Heart
Book SynopsisThe whole world has fallen in love with this international bestseller - hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold across 25 countries. Now it's Australia's turn to rediscover this jewel of a book on mindfulness.Trade ReviewMore than statistics and theories, we really trust anecdotes and narratives. Our brains and beings are wired to learn deeply and easily via stories, and this splendid collection of 108 Buddhist-based tales proves the point with lasting, gentle, pervasive teachings ... In the dozen compelling and practical sections on topics like perfection, love, commitment, fear, pain, anger, forgiveness, happiness, freedom and humility, he weaves a long, rich tapestry of understanding using short threads of stories only a couple of pages long. Many tales lead one to the other, but each also stands alone. Resurrecting several 'chestnuts' as well as crafting new stories, Brahm avoids the pitfall of esoteric, inscrutable renderings sometimes found in Buddhist writing. Instead, without compromising integrity, he favours modern cadences and references (e.g., iPods and the World Wildlife Fund) to make the stories sail along ... this is a wonderful collection that can be enjoyed by a broad audience. - Publishers Weekly Ajahn Brahm is the Seinfeld of Buddhism. - Sumi Loundon, editor of Blue Jean Buddha: Voices of Young Buddhists and The Buddha's Apprentices

Inner Traditions Bear and Company The Hundred Remedies of the Tao: Spiritual Wisdom
Book SynopsisA new translation of the 6th-century Taoist text Bai Yao Lu (Statutes of the Hundred Remedies), with practical commentary. In modern Taoist practice, the emphasis is often on “going with the flow” (wu-wei) and not following any fixed rules of any kind. This may work well for an already enlightened Taoist Sage, but for the rest of us, following a spiritual path involves ethical, moral, and practical guidelines. As author and translator Gregory Ripley (Li Guan, 理觀) explains, the little-known 6th-century Taoist text called the Bai Yao Lu (Statutes of the Hundred Remedies) was created as a practical guide to what enlightened or sagely behaviour looks like—and each of the 100 spiritual remedies are just as relevant today as they were when written over 1500 years ago. Presenting a new translation of the Bai Yao Lu for the contemporary world, Ripley provides insightful commentary for each of the Hundred Remedies, showing how they relate to Taoist meditation practice and how they can help us navigate the emotional and social challenges we all experience. He explains how each short verse of the Hundred Remedies presents a spiritual precept in a positive way, not as a restriction or commandment that must not be broken but as a solution to the problems encountered in daily life as well as on the spiritual path. He shows how these deceptively simple statutes, known as abstentions in Taoism, teach us how to emulate the behaviour of the Sages until the behaviour becomes our own. Both scholarly and inspirational, this guidebook to Taoist spiritual living will help you learn to effortlessly go with the flow, deepen your meditation practice, and find the natural balance in all things.Trade Review“Taoist thought refers to the three treasures: compassion, humility, and frugality. Gregory Ripley expands on these, and other critical Taoist ideas, with his unique combination of scholarship, healer’s authority, and the accessible language of a gifted writer. His is a synthesis of sophisticated wisdom and practical advice. In the most literal possible terms, he truly brings Tao to life.” * Taoist Monk Yun Rou, author of Mad Monk Manifesto *“Our lived lives and our ‘awakening’ are not different. The Hundred Remedies of the Tao points us to what that means by offering words from the ancestors, with comments from a contemporary Taoist priest. Gregory Ripley brings wisdom and insight to this amazing Taoist guidebook for an embodied spiritual life. A wonderful book.” * James Ishmael Ford, author of If You’re Lucky, Your Heart Will Break *“The tradition of Tao is thousands of years old. Engaging with it in contemporary times matters deeply. For that, we need sincere and deep thinkers who can show us Tao in their own lives—expressed in direct and accessible writing. That’s what Gregory Ripley has done with the profound and succinct The Hundred Remedies of the Tao. Our times are challenging and stressful. These remedies return us to the natural life that the sages promised.” * Deng Ming-Dao, author of 365 Tao, The Lunar Tao, Chronicles of Tao, and Scholar Warrior *Table of ContentsForewordby Josh Paynter Acknowledgments Introduction The Hundred Remedies of the Tao Appendix: The Thirteen Principles Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1991, this book has become established as a comprehensive guide to the theory and methods of Buddhist meditation, providing a complete introduction for beginners as well as detailed advice for experienced meditators seeking to deepen their practice. With this third edition Kamalashila has included new sections on the importance of the imagination, on Just Sitting, and on refection on the Buddha. There is also new material on sadhana--including less formal, more experimental ways to connect with the living reality of the awakened mind--on mindfulness, and on the balance required between active and receptive approaches in meditation.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Yoga Nidra Meditation: The Sleep of the Sages
Book SynopsisA practice to consciously explore wakefulness, dreaming, deep sleep, and the very structure of your emotional, mental, and energy bodies • Details the simple postures of Yoga Nidra, breathing exercises and guided meditations, and tips for maintaining awareness in the liminal state that precedes sleep • Includes four complete sessions as well as pointers for creating your own sessions Known as the “yoga of conscious sleep,” Yoga Nidra is an ancient Indian practice that allows you to consciously explore the states of wakefulness, dream, and deep sleep as well as your own psyche by combining deep relaxation with attentive awareness. Through Yoga Nidra you can directly observe and understand specific physiological, emotional, and mental processes within yourself as well as experience moments of great inner tranquility, joy, and well-being. Providing a step-by-step guide to Yoga Nidra, Pierre Bonnasse details the simple postures of Yoga Nidra and includes preparatory techniques that work with breath and guided meditations to help you become an attuned observer of your inner world. Offering tips for withdrawing the senses and maintaining awareness in the liminal state that precedes sleep, the author explores how all practices in this discipline begin with a phase of relaxation and observation of breathing, followed by immersion into a very subtle awareness of the physical, energy, and mental bodies. The higher states of more advanced sessions focus on the energy body and its components: the chakras, nadis, and pranavayu, the vital breath and autonomic functions of the body. Including four complete sessions as well as pointers for creating your own, Bonnasse shows how Yoga Nidra offers stabilizing, and therapeutic effects for the body, emotions, and thoughts. Connecting Indian and Western philosophical ideas, the author shows how sleep can be an opportunity to practice a form of yoga that changes not only our nights but every minute of our days.Trade Review“Pierre Bonnasse’s Yoga Nidra Meditation is no glib self-help book about using modern yoga nidra--the practice of visualizing images, having awareness of breath, and remaining immobile while in a lucid, sleep-like state--for getting rid of stress and anxiety. It is, instead, an in-depth, wise, and elegantly written presentation of the philosophy and practice of modern yoga nidra as nothing less than a means of attaining a ‘taste of Being’ of Brahman. In this, the book itself is a kind of meditation--the kind that one may read at bedtime in order to facilitate slipping into sleep.” * Elliott Goldberg, author of The Path of Modern Yoga *“Yoga Nidra Meditation: The Sleep of the Sages is as much about waking up as it is about sleeping. Bonnasse shows us how to wake up from the sleepy dreams that dull our consciousness and keep our natural enlightened state concealed. He tells us that to go beyond the body into our awakened state, first we have to go into the body, awakening its sensations and breath. The awakened state of the body then becomes the river that takes us beyond our limited sense of self. This is an important message, beautifully expressed, and the author offers powerful, yet simple, instructions on entering the state of yoga nidra for ourselves.” * Will Johnson, author of Breathing through the Whole Body and Eyes Wide Open *Table of ContentsPREFACE Yoga Nidra: A Journey into the States of Matter, Consciousness, and the Joy of Being INTRODUCTION Indian Philosophy and the Limbs and Paths of Yoga PART I The Philosophy of Yoga Nidra The Origins of Yoga NidraStates of ConsciousnessWho Am I?The Sheaths of the BeingAwareness, Energy, Elements, and States of MatterQualities of SleepAn Approach to Indian PsychologyThe Manifestation of PhenomenaThe Energy System in YogaThe Phenomenal World and Constructions of the MindThe Unconscious MindFears, Desires, and SufferingSleep and Death PART II The Practice of Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra as a PracticeThe Limbs of Yoga According to the Nidra TraditionPreparatory ExercisesExercises for Falling AsleepExercises for the NightExercises for Waking UpYoga of Dreams--Svapna YogaProtocol for Yoga NidraThe Art of Living in Total AwarenessFields of Application for Yoga NidraThe Ultimate SurrenderPART III Putting Yoga Nidra into Practice Four Practice Sessions Micro-Practices Session 1: Blue Star (Nilatara Yoga Nidra)Session 2: Contemplation of the Elements (Mahabhuta Visarga Yoga Nidra)Session 3: From the Sound AUM to Non-contact (Pranava Asparsha Yoga Nidra)Session 4: The Art of Dying (Marana Yoga Nidra)Practices to Inspire and Create Your SessionsAPPENDIX “The Taste of Yogic Sleep”: An Interview with Pierre Bonnasse Notes Suggested Readings Index
