Book SynopsisSo much of our lives are spent running—from pain, from vulnerability, and from everyday struggle. Jeff Foster understands that sense of pursuit. After years of depression and illness, he came to realize that what he had been seeking had been available to him all along—he needed only to shed his resistance and step into the limitless ocean of the present moment. In Jeff’s words, "The armor we wear to protect ourselves from the full experience of life does not really protect us—it just keeps us comfortably numb." In The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff provides readers with a series of insights intended to help strip away that armor and embrace life now, as it is and as you are. This warm, humorous, and candid offering invites us to stop trying to "do" acceptance and start falling in love with "what has already been allowed."

Book SynopsisChristina Bjergo reveals the tarot as keeper of the secret Taoist practice of Qigong and the 'Way' to health, happiness, and spiritual truth. Woven within the major arcana cards are little known wisdom teachings for inner cultivation through the body-minded practice of Qigong. Spiral Qigong is an easy-to-learn and empowering meditative exercise for enhancing vitality and harmonious living for people of all spiritual faiths. For the unsuspecting author, the practice of Qigong activated sacred dreaming and a kundalini/alchemical transformation. Tarot dream images appeared leading her through stages of psychological growth and initiation. The tarot ultimately showed Dreaming as a potent tool for transcending duality and a practice for personal and global rebirth. "The Tao of Tarot" shares the author's mythical journey through different spiritual traditions; at the same time, it creates a practical guidebook to teach others how to explore dream symbols to unity consciousness and enhance intuitive connection to the divine.Trade ReviewThis book takes Tarot to the next level. Christina Bjergo reveals that hidden within the Major Arcana is the entire path of alchemy, complete with symbols and powerful spiritual practices. Ms. Bjergo is one of the few authors who have completely dedicated herself to the alchemical path of the Serpent Masters. I fully endorse her work. (Mark Amaru Pinkham, author of The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom). Throughout this bold and ambitious book, Christina Bjergo maintains a lightness of touch that helps you through the wealth of information and insight. In each chapter, the author makes connections that show you the Tarot Trumps in a new light. If you're a Tarot reader interested in Chinese thought, this book makes fascinating reading. (Mick Frankel, Tarot Association of the British Isles).

Book SynopsisHow much of your waking time are you fully awake?How often do you stumble through the day on auto-pilot, half asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive?In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of 'sleep' from which we sometimes 'wake up', into a more intense and complete reality. Waking from Sleep provides what is perhaps the first ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or 'awakening experiences'. This book examines: • the methods that human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, nature, sport, psychedelic drugs and sleep deprivation• how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world's peoples (and still are in some cases) • how we can make 'wakefulness' our normal state again. By fully explaining awakening experiences, this book makes them much more accessible, and may even lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings.Trade ReviewThe author's mind is imbued at all times with the higher faculty of spiritual awareness. -- Eckhart Tolle The most enlightening book about enlightenment I have ever read. -- Ervin Laszlo One of the best books on spiritual awakening I have ever come across. An important contribution to the shift in consciousness that is happening on our planet at this time. -- Eckhart Tolle Makes an elusive and complex subject easily comprehensible to the reader...His [Steve Taylor] enthusiasm is tangible and infectious. Kindred Spirit Magazine Taylor has created an experience for the reader that is wonderful... The book has a lovely appeal and seems to almost generate the feeling of the awakened experiences that are described so beautifully. Journal of Transpersonal Psychology

Book SynopsisIn this profound book, based on a popular audio program, Dr. David Hawkins gives a primer on his world-famous map of consciousness that will help the reader embark on their own journey to an advanced state of consciousness.Dr. Hawkins’s research is based on a well-established science called kinesiology, which has to do with the testing of an all-or-none muscle response stimulus. A positive stimulus generates a strong muscle response, and a negative stimulus results in a demonstrable weakening of the test muscle. Clinical kinesiological muscle testing as a diagnostic technique has been verified widely over the past 25 years.David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D, conducted a 29-year study that demonstrated that the human body becomes stronger or weaker depending on a person’s mental state. He created a scale from 1 to 1,000 that mapped human consciousness. Furthermore, he demonstrated that this map can be used as a blueprint to reach higher states of consciousness that can be identified simply by applying a small amount of pressure on an outstretched arm!Not only that, but this simple method has also been demonstrated to be an effective tool for instantly calibrating human consciousness. Dr. Hawkins created a scale of consciousness based on current discoveries in advanced theoretical physics and the nonlinear dynamics of chaos theory. And this “map of consciousness” now makes it possible for anyone to advance toward higher levels of enlightenment faster than ever imagined!In this book, you’ll learn how to: Advance your level of consciousness and your understanding of human behavior, just by learning the map of consciousness. Gain instant access to information that is beyond the capacity of all the world’s computers. Detect the exact point in any complex system where the least effort brings about the greatest result. Understand the power of a simple attitude adjustment as well as the consequences of various emotional states. Learn how people who calibrate high on the map of consciousness can raise the energy level and calibration of thousands of others just by being in their presence! Heal yourself of illness or addiction by reaching the state of consciousness in which it vanishes. Learn which foods, environments, companies, books, etc., are harmful (low energy) and which are beneficial (high energy). And much more!
