Book SynopsisInner judge, superego, barking dog are some of the different names for that presence that judges and evaluates every aspect of our inner and outer experience. The judgment is so fundamental to the way we function that we not only take it for granted, but accept it even when it is the cause of great suffering, misunderstanding and conflict.

Book SynopsisDiscover the art of eurythmy with this richly illustrated step-by-step guide. Eurythmy is a compelling method of bringing balance and harmony to our body, soul and spirit through a series of rhythmic body movements. For the first time, this unique book captures these gestures visually through dynamic photographs, which clearly demonstrate the core movements of eurythmy therapy.It has long been recognised that we can direct powerful physical and mental changes within ourselves through specific movements of our bodies, as stated by advocates of yoga and tai chi.The authors of this original book are experienced eurythmists, who describe and illustrate the core speech-sound exercises: vowel exercises, consonant exercises and soul exercises, which include love, hope and sympathy.This book is not a replacement for a qualified eurythmy therapist, but is intended as guidance and orientation for patients practising on their own, perhaps after a few initial sessions with a therapist, or for more experienced eurythmists.Trade Review'If you have ever been lucky enough to have embarked on a course of Eurythmy Therapy, then you know instantly that 'An Illustrated Guide to Everyday Eurythmy' is an incredibly helpful book to own. You will know that the powerful exercises given by the therapist during your sessions unfold their true potential when you can practice them regularly and diligently. While most of the exercises are not difficult to do, the exact sequence of movements is important: Is the position of the feet correct? Does the gesture start small or wide, up or down? How does it end? These and similar questions can easily crop up in the time between sessions and uncertainties regarding them can very easily derail all the good intentions to practice. To have this illustrated guide to hand is exactly what has been missing up to now, because it is precisely this 'aide-memoir' that will help you to stay on track. It will also be invaluable when your course of sessions is finished, but you realise that it would still be helpful to continue with the exercises, or if you wish to return to them after letting them rest for a while.The way the book has been structured and laid out, the way that each description, each word, has been considered and chosen is exemplary and is imbued with the same attention and mindfulness that a good therapist will bring to his or her session. There is nothing to distract or confuse, no word is too much or too little, in fact, the careful reading and following of the instructions will recreate a therapeutic 'space' around the reader, which will lead him or her gently and easily into the mindset necessary for effective practice. It is clearly stated in the book, that it is not intended as an alternative to receiving Eurythmy Therapy, and on its own it cannot convey the exercises fully, - the book is intended as a companion to receiving live sessions, - but with this as a given, the descriptions and illustrations are clear and complete. I am very impressed with this book and its presentation - from the concept behind it, the intention, the structure and wording, its size and use of colour and illustration, the quality of the paper, to the fact that it will lie flat when opened at a certain page. This last little detail really exemplifies the kind of thought that went into every aspect of creating this resource for everyday eurythmy.'-- Sigune Brinch, Teacher at Peredur Eurythmy (MA Eurythmy Performing Arts, Alanus University, D-Alfter/Bonn 2016)'This book is clear and down to earth. It is well laid out and the photos are possible to follow or imitate. I was aware that I was meeting both the text and the illustrations with a degree of working experience as a eurythmy therapist, and having shown it to a couple of my patients they stressed that it could help remember exercises already tackled with a therapist, but no way could it replace the human interaction and process of eurythmy therapy itself. It has not set out to be a ‘self-help’ book, I think, but rather to make a courageous attempt to put Eurythmy Therapy in the ‘market place’, perhaps attracting people who are new to it and are intrigued, or re-inspiring those more familiar. I will certainly use it to illustrate and support work as a therapist, and also for myself as a helpful reminder of basic exercises. [...] I would recommend this book to other eurythmists and eurythmy therapists as a clear and attractive handbook.'-- Jane Abel, Eurythmy Therapist'The book itself has a good and clear layout and it is easy to get an overview of the exercises.[...] I have to say that as a eurythmist I find the book useful as a resource for deepening my knowledge of the sounds and I personally wouldn't mind a Volume 2 covering themes such as rhythms, spatial forms and body meditations.'-- Saraphir Qaa-Rishi, Eurythmist and Movement Teacher'An Illustrated Guide to Everyday Eurythmy is easy to follow and is to be commended on its attractive presentation [...] Having never visited a eurythmy therapist myself I could not say whether or not they hand out illustrations of the exercises as an aide memoire for their client, but if not, they might well wish to consider availing themselves of this work-book to pass on to clients as a useful follow-on after having first imparted to them a sufficient orientation in these eurythmy exercises.'-- New View'This book is a unique piece of work that can bring new insights to eurythmy therapists in practice and can also deepen the patient's connection to the exercises. Well worth the space on one's shelf for sure!'-- Perspectives‘It seemed to me the only way to fairly review would be to look at the exercises and try them out. […] I found the instructions clear and helpful, and consistent with my memory. […] I am pleased to have this book and I believe it will help people like me to practice eurythmy. I think for the purpose of giving support for people to continuing working with eurythmy it would be invaluable. I think it may help some practitioners in their work. It is clearly not the intention of the authors that people with no experience of eurythmy or no guidance from a therapist, should consider this to be a tutor. I could imagine that someone who does have an interest in eurythmy could be encouraged by this book to seek out a course or a therapist.’-- Philip Haddon, Point & Circle Magazine

Book SynopsisMost of Krishnamurti's books are transcriptions from the many talks he gave. This book however contains short pieces from his notebooks, which are heartfelt and intimate. More than 55 short entries, between one and six pages long, start with descriptions unfolding amidst mountains, jungles and rolling meadows and then end with his own spontaneous musings. The writing feels totally spontaneous and in-the-moment, and is never clichéd or too smooth. You are drawn to consider his words carefully, because your mind is quiet. For Krishnamurti, the challenge is to keep our minds free from preconceptions and ultimately free from any concepts at all. So, you don't "decide" to meditate and you never consciously meditate at all as a distinct action. You actively meditate from one second to the next but without effort. It's just how you are. Our minds can bring us down and seemingly conspire against us, but a quieter contemplation of how things truly are can also bring breakthroughs and peace. This is exactly what this book is for, through its vivid scenes and helpful contemplations. Krishnamurti is perfect for seekers who have exhausted all the "how tos" and are disillusioned by teachers who are coasting or who are writing books to generate an income when they have nothing to say. The spiritual market is maturing and there are many people who want more. This is for them.

Book SynopsisKabbalah is a tradition that is closely related to Judaism, but which has links also with Ancient Egyptian religion and currents all across the Near and Middle East. Outwardly it was studied and taught principally by Rabbis, but in fact on a more secret level its development was also taken forward by Moslem scholars, Renaissance princes, alchemists of all kind and magicians. It found its expression in the tarot deck and in the esoteric teachings of Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune. In a way, it's all in here and Kabbalah holds the key to all the workings of the universe. We can use it to make sense of our own minds and motivations and become better happier people by relating more consciously to all that is. As Dutch teacher Mike Bais points out, we can also use this supremely flexible system to understand the universe and how it works and one of his key points in this book is that Kabbalah is ideally placed to bring science and spirituality back together again after centuries of estrangement. The book is full of diagrams and illustrations that enhance the text. The exercises and practical teachings here form a crystal clear course of study for anyone willing put in the time and change their lives.Trade Review"This is one of the best introductions to Kabbalah I have read. It goes further, and deeper, than many others and it is at the same time balanced, measured andgenerous. This is a book not just for the interested explorer but for those seeking wisdom at the most profound level. This is Kabbalah for the present and thefuture, including the world of science. It is also Kabbalah for daily life, for practice and discovery. I recommend it highly." - John Matthews, author of Arthurian Magic

Book SynopsisThe word liminal comes from the Latin word 'limen', meaning threshold. In its literal sense, a threshold is a doorway. 'Liminal' is often used to describe the gateway between two stages.A liminal space can be a metaphysical state – the place between sleep and wakefulness, between life and death where consciousness is altered, the transition period between one life event and the next; or it can be a physical space – the coastline between sea and shore, an empty art gallery, or the moment just before it rains.In an age where so much importance is placed on facts and explanations, the feelings we derive from liminal 'unknown' spaces can disrupt our equilibrium. Yet these 'spaces in between' are often where insight, creativity and inspiration are found.Here, life-long liminal explorer and journalist Claire Gillman helps us learn and grow through our experiences of liminality. Featuring contributions from leading luminaries including Bruce Parry, Caroline Myss, Dr Eben Alexander, Neale Donald Walsch, Phyllis Curott, Yasmin Boland, Dr Robert Holden, Satish Kumar, Dr Mike Dow and Felicity Warner, Claire shows us how we can navigate and embrace liminal experiences to enhance our wellbeing and understanding of the world.

Book Synopsis"The Extraordinary Wisdom of Ordinary Women" is a collection of intimate, heartfelt conversations with women spiritual teachers who live and look like ordinary people. They have kids, husbands, jobs, and bills to pay. What makes them extraordinary is that each woman has awakened to her true nature. And while that sounds like enlightenment, it doesn't look like the old stereotype of transcendence, detachment, and bliss. Quite the contrary. This is the feminine half of the spiritual journey - bringing it down to earth and embracing all of what it means to be human. These real life stories show by practical example what it means to be fully awake and fully engaged, to meet the world without resistance - even and especially when it's not easy - whether it's death, divorce or illness. The invitation is explicit..."if these ordinary women can be fully awake and fully human, why not me, why not you? And why not now."Trade ReviewIn the past 30 years women have emerged into the forefront of the spiritual life in the West, and the interviews in this book reflect a new generation of clear-eyed women teachers and sages. Stephan Bodian, author of the best-selling Meditation for Dummies, former editor of Yoga Journal This will become a milestone in female spirituality. Not only does it recount the fascinating and intimate stories of twelve 'ordinary' women in their search for peace and self knowledge, the author engages the reader with her own quest through her integrity, vulnerability and courage. Beautifully written with captivating honesty, this unique book will become an inspiration for both men and women alike, also looking for the essence of who they truly are. Paula Marvelly, author of Teachers of One, Living Advaita Have you ever wanted to have coffee with your therapist or spiritual teacher? Have you ever wanted to ask questions like, "What happens when you're really pissed off?" This book is like that. Except better, because Rita Marie Robinson always seems to know just the right question to ask to make the whole journey utterly, magnificently human. Plus, her own journey in writing the book is equally fascinating, and she spins that yarn for you as both a wonderful writer and your close friend. Simply put, "Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom" is one of those books to savor, underline like crazy, and then age with gracefully until its dog-eared pages no longer need to remind you that you're already Home. Raphael Cushnir, author of How Now: 100 Ways to Celebrate the Present Moment This is a book that gives us the permission to be ourselves, the simple wonder of whom we really are. Here are clues to the great human mystery, the secret that is within each of us waiting to be lived. There is nothing to search for, just the challenge to be awake, to be present in each ordinary, extraordinary moment. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee Ph.D., Sufi teacher and author of Awakening the World It is with tremendous enthusiasm that I recommend this book to you. It is an exquisite pointer to the vast field of women who have realized the highest spiritual truths and are speaking out to bring their wisdom to the table so that we may benefit from their labors of love. Rita Marie Robinson is a gifted writer. This is a visionary book to be cherished for the intimate glimpses it provides us into the lives of women who point the way to how we can live a life of enlightened living in the midst of ordinary circumstances. Richard C. Miller, PhD, author of Yoga Nidra. Just under the radar, a profound shift is happening in human consciousness. More and more people are waking up from the trance of separation, realizing their essential Oneness. Even more important, we are seeing an unprecedented shift in how that awakening is being embodied: for the first time we are witnessing a spirituality that is a balance of the divine masculine and feminine: embodied, heartful, interconnected and profoundly honest. This book is a vibrant living testimony of this new spirituality: it is a celebration of the return of the Goddess. Rita Marie Robinson has done us all a great service: she has given a voice to the hope for a saner and more balanced humanity. This is essential reading.

Book Synopsis`The study of music is the study of the human being. The two are inseparable, and eurythmy is the art which brings this most clearly to expression. In these lectures, Rudolf Steiner guides us along a path toward an understanding of the human form as music comes to rest – the movements of eurythmy bringing this music back to life.’ – Dorothea Mier `Fundamentally speaking, music is the human being, and indeed it is from music that we rightly learn how to free ourselves from matter.’ – Rudolf Steiner The focus of these eight lectures is the source of movement and gesture in the human being. The movement in musical experience is thus traced back to its origin in the human instrument itself. Like the degrees of the musical scale, Rudolf Steiner leads his select audience of young artists through eight stages, focusing on the living principles of discovery and renewal. Eurythmy was born in the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century. From an individual question as to whether it was possible to create an art based on meaningful movement, Rudolf Steiner responded with fresh creative possibilities for a renewal of the arts in their totality. The new art of eurythmy was an unexpected gift. Today, music eurythmy, along with its counterpart based on speech, is practiced as an art, taught as a subject in schools, enjoyed as a social activity and applied as a therapy. This definitive translation of Steiner’s original lecture course on eurythmy includes a facsimile, transcription and translation of the lecturer’s notes, together with an introduction and index. The volume is supplemented with an extensive `companion’, featuring full commentary and notes compiled by Alan Stott, as well as a translation of Josef Matthias Hauer’s Interpreting Melos.

Book Synopsis‘From the contents of original Greek drama and the soul drama of the present day that leads to self-knowledge, Rudolf Steiner develops his thought processes – pulsating with lively contemplation – about wonders of the world, trials of the soul and revelations of the spirit!’ – Marie Steiner In this remarkable interpretation of Greek mythology, Rudolf Steiner goes beyond Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell in reading mythological figures such as Demeter, Persephone, Eros and Dionysos as primordial archetypes of macrocosmic thinking, feeling and will. Moreover, he explains in detail how this archetypal consciousness was gradually lost, giving way to new-found, subjective experience of these faculties, which in turn opens up possibilities for human freedom. His overarching theme of ‘the evolution of consciousness’ is grand in its sweep, but Steiner also shows himself to be the master of telling details. Lectures include: ‘The origin of dramatic art in European cultural life and the Mystery of Eleusis’; ‘The living reality of the spiritual world in Greek mythology and the threefold Hecate’; ‘Nature and spirit’; ‘The entry of the Christ Impulse into human evolution and the activity of the planetary gods’; ‘The merging of the ancient Hebrew and the Greek currents in the Christ-stream’; ‘The ego-nature and the human form’; ‘The Dionysian Mysteries’; ‘Eagle, Bull and Lion currents, Sphinx and Dove’; ‘The two poles of all soul-ordeals’; and ‘On Goethe’s birthday’. The freshly revised text features an introduction, notes and appendices by Professor Frederick Amrine, colour images and an index.

Book Synopsis'Anyone who embarks upon the study of anthroposophy will soon recognise that the mystery of the human ego lies at its very heart. This mystery is one of the central questions of anthroposophical Christology and at the same time forms one of the most difficult cognitive challenges presented by anthroposophy.' - Sergei O. Prokofieff. The question of the true nature of the human 'I' or individuality is one of the key issues of our time, but it is also one of the most complex riddles of existence. This booklet doesn't give simple answers but adds perspectives that deepen the theme, offering a picture of its manifold mysteries. In three great panoramas, the author develops central aspects of the topic, beginning with the threefold nature of human individuality, followed by an illumination of the cosmic dimension of the ego, and finally an encapsulation of the significance of the earthly ego. With his usual thoroughness and clarity, Sergei O. Prokofieff throws light on one of the fundamental questions of our time.Table of ContentsPreface - The Threefold Nature of Human Individuality - The Cosmic Dimension of the Ego - The Significance of the Earthly Ego - Bibliography - Notes
