Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd Blue Mind Mantras: For Serenity, Calm, and
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. And this has been backed up by scientific research, with studies indicating that being near or in water can lower stress and anxiety, increasing overall wellbeing and happiness, and this mildly meditative state has been called a ‘blue mind’ response. 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).

Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd Tree Wisdom: A Journey of Wisdom, Symbols,
Book SynopsisDiscover how all trees can mirror us, teach us and heal us. As author Alice Peck reflected on the maple tree in her backyard, she began to notice and then study its intricacies and changes. This became her regular meditation and inspiration. In Tree Wisdom, Alice shares what she has learnt from that maple tree, and from the trees all around us. Every tree tells a complete and ongoing story – they evolve along a much more protracted timetable than humans. Alice explores trees from four perspectives: their roots – wisdom and understanding; their branches – symbols and rituals; their leaves – healing and science; and their seeds – transformation and spirituality. All of these elements show us how, although they live outside us, trees offer a path to our inner selves. Filled with insights from botany to poetry, ecology to mythology and herbalism to sacraments, Tree Wisdom explores the ways these grounded yet soaring entities can steady and move us, teach and transform us, inspire and comfort us.Trade ReviewI found myself feeling very zen while flipping through the pages. While Peck shares insights about each tree, Launay captures the tree’s spirit, bringing them to life – Musing Mystical

Watkins Media Limited The Essential Guide to the Tarot: Understanding
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
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.

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

Transcript Verlag Breathing in Manhattan: Carola Speads - The
Book SynopsisIn 1938 gymnastics instructor Carola Spitz escaped from Nazi Germany. In New York she turned into Carola Speads, revered teacher of mindfulness. She breathed with clients in her Central Park West studio until she was 97 years old. Now Christoph Ribbat combines her gripping biography with the histories of modern bodywork and breathing experiments. He illuminates the tension between self-help fads and 20th century catastrophes. Accessible and quirky, Breathing in Manhattan speaks to experts and non-experts alike: to readers of Jewish history, students of New York City, and to anyone attracted by or skeptical of the promises of mindfulness.
