Spinifex Press The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades: Stories from
Book SynopsisAround the world, people looked to the skies to tell them when to sow and harvest their crops, and when the rains would come. The ‘sailing stars’ have guided explorers and endless migrations of people. In Old Europe, among the Ainu of Japan and in Indigenous Australia the Pleiades were associated with water and birds. They become Oceanids, Ice Maidens, Water Girls and the Subaru. The Parthenon in Athens, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and the Mayan Temple of the Sun in Cuzco, are all said to be aligned with the Pleiades. The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades will amaze and awe you, and above all will remind you that all of humanity shares the night skies.Trade Review"Fascination with the Pleiades... spreads over many cultures, as Andrews notes. In ancient Egypt, they were regarded as the Seven Fates who 'foretold the destiny of every newborn'; in India they still influence the game of dice; and a cluster of dots on the Lascaux cave paintings in France, more than 17,000 years old, is perhaps the world's oldest representation of these haunting stars..."

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Tantric Sex and Menopause: Practices for
Book SynopsisA tantric guide to discovering the hidden gifts of menopause Shining the light of tantric intelligence on menopause, the authors reveal how to explore and experience menopause in a radically positive fashion, suffused with a sense of vital awakening and “re-wilding” of a woman’s sexuality, creativity, and spirituality. Explaining what to expect physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as what it means for relationships, they detail tantric practices and tools to connect with the body’s inner intuitive wisdom and heart energies, remove the “performance pressure” of conventional sex, and set the stage for passion and pleasure to thrive both in the bedroom and beyond. They explain why Tantra works for menopausal women and how their bodies are naturally entering a more tantric phase focused on creative, spiritual energy. They explore how, in Tantra, sex is practiced not for the sake of sex itself but as an instrument for going “beyond” sex, for better health, improved relationships, enhanced self-control and emotional balance, and even higher states of consciousness. They also offer many self-help practices, exercises, and meditations to reinforce a positive attitude toward menopause and overcome many of the physical and sexual problems, such as pain, dryness, loss of interest, and loss of libido. Providing a guide for women who are approaching, experiencing, or have gone through menopause, the authors show how a more informed, tantric approach to menopause allows each woman to deepen her trust in the perfect functioning of the female body, embrace her natural sexual response, and reconnect with her inner self.

Hay House Inc Deep Human Connection
Book Synopsis“Lovingly crafted, deep, richly engaging, and wise.” —Jack Kornfield “An important resource...for many years to come.” —Sharon Salzberg “...brilliant and utterly engaging.” —Tara Brach This “glorious book” explores the essence of connection through 5 essential types of relationships, “[guiding] us into the infinite mysteries of human attunement” (Bessel van der Kolk, New York Times–bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score). Do you long to connect more deeply with other human beings? Do you wonder if you’re living up to your human potential to make these deep connections happen—and perhaps missing out on this most compelling aspect of a vital life? In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Stephen Cope invites us to explore the most important questions in this domain: What is the nature of human connection? Trade Review“ . . . grabbed me from the very first sentence. I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to devour it in one sitting. Not only is it beautifully written in a way that nourishes the soul, it is also historically fascinating. You don’t want to miss this one.” —Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York Times–bestselling author of Goddesses Never Age and Making Life Easy “. . . destined to be a classic. It is a beautiful and moving examination of the rich possibilities of deep friendship that are right under our noses—possibilities which we all too seldom see or mine fully. Cope makes us want to risk making real, intentional human connections—and makes us long to celebrate them, and to allow them to transform us into fully-conscious and fully-alive human beings.” —Geneen Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Women, Food and God and Lost and Found“Lovingly crafted, deep, richly engaging, and wise . . . a beautiful work. It will inspire your friendships, expand your understanding, and uplift your heart.” —Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart“For centuries, writers interested in the soul have reflected on friendship as the foundation of all love. Stephen Cope’s contribution is penetrating, subtle, and beautiful. He tells his own extended stories and those of remarkable people who have found meaning in friendship. He sorts out what it means to be a friend and presents his rich imagination of it in the fluent language of a novelist. A very special book.” —Thomas Moore, New York Times–bestselling author of Care of the Soul“Stephen Cope offers a fresh and powerful way to deepen our connection to those who support us in being who we truly are. He skillfully guides us to better understand and enjoy the rich tapestry of our lives . . . sure to remain an important resource for people for many years to come.” —Sharon Salzberg, New York Times–bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness“I’ve been waiting for this book! There are a plethora of books—from memoirs to self-help—for people navigating the mysterious minefield of romantic relationship, but few that offer insight into friendship. And for me, the friends I have from childhood on have colored my life with just as much brightness and darkness as lovers and husbands. With honesty, humor, and wisdom, Stephen Cope uses his own friendships, and the ‘soul friendships’ between people known and unknown, to explore the sometimes difficult and always powerful landscape of love between friends. Reading the book has reawakened memories of my own soul friendships across a lifetime, and has enriched the friendships that fill my life today. Thank you, Stephen.” —Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder, Omega Institute; author of Marrow and the New York Times bestseller Broken Open“. . . written for those who want to deepen their journey into authentic, conscious loving. In this brilliant and utterly engaging book, Stephen Cope invites us into a fascinating and life-changing inquiry: What is the nature and potential of our friendships? Please give yourself wholeheartedly to this inquiry. With Stephen’s expert and inspired guidance, your capacity to be intimate and fully alive in relationships will flourish!” —Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge “This is a glorious book about human connections, and it’s one that should be read by anyone interested in the human mind and soul. Stephen Cope’s beautiful language and ideas guide us into the infinite mystery of human attunement. Using his own life story, that of some of his favorite writers, and knowledge gained from depth psychology, Cope shows us how people who truly see us and meet us on our deepest level shape who we fundamentally become . . . [The book] gives voice to the very foundation of human existence, and shows us how attuned relationships shape and expand our individual selves to help us become infinitely larger.” —Bessel van der Kolk, New York Times–bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score“ . . . a marvelous book beautifully written and filled with hard-earned wisdom and profound grounded inspiration. Nothing is more important in our frightening time than cultivating our deepest relationships, so that we can be supported and sustained in the grueling work ahead to preserve and restore our world.” —Andrew Harvey, award-winning author of The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism and Return to Joy“We are profoundly shaped by our most intense relationships. This is a central tenet of depth psychology. Through his beautiful prose and engrossing examples, Stephen Cope brings this insight to life better than anything else I have read on this crucial topic. The examples from his own life and those of people like Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud are fascinating and illuminating. You will learn a great deal about the psychodynamics of friendships, but more importantly you’ll learn how you got to be the way you are.” —Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D., founder of the Center for Self Leadership, creator of Internal Family Systems therapy, and author of You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For“With a storyteller’s warmth and a sage’s wisdom, Stephen Cope illuminates the self-affirming, challenging, life-changing friendships that make us who we are. What a gift—from his soul to ours.” —James S. Gordon, M.D., author of Unstuck and Founder and Executive Director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine“Stephen Cope has done it again. He’s written a book that makes you catch your breath, that can’t help but crack what is closed in you. The deep investigation in [this book] is not only Cope’s journey into authenticity through human connection, it is also ours. Expect to be challenged and changed by this book. Expect to wake up. I will be giving this book to every person who is important in my life, so that they can be on the journey of ultimate self-discovery with me. This is not just a book, but an experience, one that will change your life. I recommend it to every student and colleague. I recommend it to you.” —Amy Weintraub, author of Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists and founder of the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute“Stephen Cope’s visionary new book . . . is a tour de force on human relationships. In his trademark brilliant and accessible style, Cope empowers us to follow the trajectory of our own friendships, to see afresh how these connections have fundamentally shaped us and made us who we are. I found myself seeing every significant relationship I have had through a deeper, more complex, and more refined lens. Especially revelatory was Stephen’s writing on difficult friendships, how important they are in our development and how to make meaning from this adversity. So generous and so transparent is the author’s own story of the joys and sorrows of authentic human connection that he emboldens me to see my own story in more honest and penetrating ways. When I finished . . . I felt vibrantly alive, more awake and compassionate towards the human condition.” —Gail Straub, bestselling author of Returning to My Mother’s House and co-founder of The Empowerment Institute“ . . . a tour de force of wisdom, humor, and psychological insight. By delicately dissecting friendships—personal and historical—Cope makes the subtle clear, and the invisible visible, illuminating the roles of friendships around us, and he does this so eloquently that we wish him to be our own wisest friend. Here is the psychology teacher you wish you’d had, and the literature guide you longed for, and the life coach who asks you the best questions—questions that will first make you lean back, and then leap forward.” — Diane Cameron, award-winning columnist, writer, and speaker; author of Never Leave Your Dead and Out of the Woods“Stephen Cope’s tender, literate voice touches our profound yearning and helps us unlock our heart’s desire: to feel and provide nourishing human connection, to come home and come to life. A gem.” —Joseph Bobrow Roshi, Ph.D., Zen master, psychoanalyst, and author of Zen and Psychotherapy“Eight billion of us are hurtling through space circumnavigating the sun at 1000 mph, at times feeling so alone and at times feeling desperately crowded and impinged upon. We transmit signals through the dark, both hoping to find another and fearing what we may find. I am here. I hear you. I want to meet you. And, as we encounter another, in that meeting we complete ourselves—or not . . . Stephen Cope urges us to explore the wonder of those we have loved and who have loved us in return, as well as those with whom we have collided, and who, through those collisions, have altered us in significant ways. This book will move you. It will make you go deep. You read it and discover your heart. You will laugh and cry. By revealing his own experience, Cope opens yours to those you have treasured and who have treasured you. In this exploration you will come to life more fully than you ever imagined.” —Alex N. Sabo, M.D., Distinguished Life Fellow, American Psychiatric Association“Stephen Cope’s elegant and masterful [book] is nothing short of a profoundly revolutionary view of true friendship and human connection. The author weaves together his extensive background in psychology and contemplative studies, the latest developments in neuroscience, and deeply personal stories of transformational friendship in his own life and the lives of others. We leave this remarkable book with a deeper understanding of (and longing for) the all too rare lightning-bolt moments of awareness of the connection with another person as a turning point in life. If we are lucky, those moments signal the beginning of a relationship that leaves us in an entirely new orientation, standing on new ground. This book lets us understand why and how.” —Barbara Bonner, author of Inspiring Generosity and Inspiring Courage“Stephen Cope invites us to resonate with the warmth of his spirit as he guides us through a deeply personal journey about human connection. His integrative approach effortlessly weaves together wise scholarship with heartfelt experience. Going to the very heart of the relational nature of humankind, Cope reminds us that ‘in order to be fully alive, we must create around ourselves a vital surround of relationship.’ This is a book with timely and bracing wisdom; it will be an inspiration and a guide for all seeking to enrich their lives.” —Anna L. Stothart, Psy.D., LMHC“. . . profoundly insightful, personal, and historical account of the transformative potential of deep human connection. Stephen Cope’s brilliantly written book exemplifies his depth of understanding of the human psyche and illuminates the immeasurable importance of secure relationships as catalysts for health and healing. All those seeking to enhance their understanding of the developmental significance of social bonds across the lifespan will treasure this book!” — B Grace Bullock, Ph.D., author of Mindful Relationships

Sounds True Inc Polishing the Mirror: How to Live from Your
Book SynopsisSometimes illumination occurs spontaneously or, as Ram Dass experienced, in a heart-wrenching moment of opening. More commonly, it happens when we polish the mirror of the heart with daily practice—and see beyond the illusion of our transient thoughts and emotions to the vast and luminous landscape of our true nature. For five decades, Ram Dass has explored the depths of consciousness and love and brought them to life as service to others. With Polishing the Mirror, he gathers together his essential teachings for living in the eternal present, here and now. Readers will find within these pages a rich combination of perennial wisdom, humor, teaching stories, and detailed guidance on Ram Dass' own spiritual practices, including: Bhakti Yoga—opening our hearts to unconditional love • Practices for living, aging, dying, and embracing the natural flow of life • Karma Yoga—how selfless service can profoundly transform us • Working with fear and suffering as a path to grace and freedom • Step-by-step guidance in devotional chant, meditation and mantra practice, and much more For those new to Ram Dass' teachings, and for those to whom they are old friends, here is this vanguard spiritual explorer's complete guide to discovering who we are and why we are here, and how to become beacons of unconditional love.

Book SynopsisTHE DA VINCI CODE tapped a deep fascination for the sacred feminine hidden at the heart of Christianity. Best-selling author Tim Ward digs deeper into this mystery, propelling the reader into the pre-Christian Goddess religions of the Mediterranean. Ward confronts tough questions * Are men threatened by the innate power of the feminine? * Why do men abuse, rape, and dominate women? Shouldnt loving relationships with the opposite sex be natural and easy? * Did we all lose an essential part of ourselves when we turned our back on the feminine divine? * How would opening to the feminine face of God help men resolve their issues with women? * What would it take for men to really let go of patriarchy and genuinely accept women as equals?To answer these questions, Ward decided to seek out the Goddess, with his own demons in tow. Over a period of three years he travelled to the ruined temples and shrines of the Goddess in the cradles of Western Civilization. At each he encountered one aspect of the many faces of the Goddess. He vividly recreates the experience of ancient believers the Eleusinian Mysteries of Demeter, the sexual rites of the priestesses of Aphrodite, and a human sacrifice on a mountaintop shrine in Crete. And in Turkey he sits at the feet of the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, whose rioting followers once threatened to kill the Apostle Paul. Facing the Goddess unleashes turbulent emotions for Ward. With frank honesty he describes the traumas that erupt in his relationship with the woman he loves, who accompanied him on many of his journeys.Trade Review"'Ward's book is a kind of archaeology of the soul. He digs through the layers of his own male psyche and cultural conditioning, and does not flinch at what he finds buried underneath. He brings ancient rituals to life as he re-imagines what it must have been like to be a man living in the time of the goddess. His vivid account cuts to the heart of man's relationship with the feminine divine - and, even more important, to men's relationships with flesh-and-blood women. Wade Davis, author of One River and The Serpent and the Rainbow 'Few male writers except theologians have dared to interpret the goddess movement but Tim Ward in his frank, intrepid way, has given us a thoughtful, personal account of one man's look at the goddess and why many men have been so angry at women. Susan Swan, author of What Cassanova Told Me 'Powerful...Tim Ward's personal encounters with the statues, frescos, temples and sacred sites of ancient goddesses remind us that these artifacts are not sterile stones but the touchstones to a still living world of human experience.'
