Book SynopsisThe Bhagavad Gita is not relevant to just one community or religion. It speaks of values, principles and concepts that transcend the barriers of time and space. Aeons may separate the modern world and that of Kurukshetra, but the paths to achieving realization or success remain the same. Decoding Gita is a modern interpretation of the epic scripture that highlights the relevance of the Gita with real-life examples drawn from the not-so-disparate worlds of business and sports. Each of the chapters in the book is arranged to coincide with the 18 chapters in the Gita, with excerpts from the Gita in Sanskrit.

We're all doing it-every second of every day-without even realising it. For years, journalist and podcaster Jordanna Levin thought that she was psychic. She would worry about things and they would come true. But she wouldn't just worry; she would feel them, take subconscious action towards them and believe with every cell of her being that they would happen-and most of the time, they did. A broken foot, a cancelled flight, a tragic love story... the list went on. She soon realised that she wasn't just predicting the future, she was manifesting it. Until one day she changed the game.

I always learn more than I expect from her because she has the capacity to hold space for people's healing journey and personal transformation in a way that is totally empowering. All of these skills come through in this wonderful book. Reading this book was like being in one of Jordanna's workshops; I connected with the part of me that feels safe, capable, creative, inspired and able to spark up into action. I went through a divorce this year and I can honestly say that the information contained within these pages was directly responsible for me being able to manifest buying the house of my dreams, holding space for my kids in the transition and stepping up my work to meet my new income needs.

Book SynopsisIn the past and in present-day indigenous traditions, women have known that the womb houses the greatest power a woman possesses: the power to create on all levels. Utilised in the process of giving birth, this power of creation can, also, be tapped in the birth of projects, careers, personal healing, spirituality and relationships. However, because the womb stores the energetic imprint of every intimate encounter - loving or not - the creative voice of the womb is often muffled or absent altogether, affecting the emotional, mental and spiritual health of women and their relationships. Drawing on sacred traditions from ancient India, Tibet, Egypt, Gnostic Christianity and Judaism, the practice of womb wisdom empowers women to become aware of the intuitive voice of the womb outside of pregnancy and the moon cycle to unlock this potent inner source for creativity, birthing the new conscious children, spiritual growth and transformation not only for themselves,but, also, for their male partners. The authors include exercises to clear the past, release toxic emotions, open the womb's energetic pathways, activate the sacred sensual self, bring balance to relationships and harness creative potential. Including intimate, individual stories of women experiencing the opening of the womb, this book, also, explores the forgotten sacred sites of the womb around the world as well as how the womb's energies are crucial to birth a new civilisation in the spiritual shift of 2012. The accompanying 50-minute CD includes a soundscape to assist in the awakening of these creative forces.Trade Review“Womb Wisdom is a book that can reactivate the deep, inherent, often forgotten feminine power within us. Taking Tantra to the next level of unconditional love, appreciation, gratitude, and compassion for all beings, Womb Wisdom reveals the union of male and female through the greatest secret that women have: the womb. Woven within the pages is the intimate true-life account of how Anaiya opened the seven gates and five spirals that eventually led to the full opening of her womb. This book is a hands-on practical approach, packed with tools and ways to integrate this wisdom into your everyday lives. Womb Wisdom is a vital key to dissolving the problems in modern-day relationships and to entering the mystical chamber of the heart in union with the womb, in relationship. Women and men together as one!” * Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy *“Padma and Anaiya Aon Prakasha have written a beautiful book that teaches us how to listen to the ancient, creative messages hidden deep within the cyclical powers of the feminine soul. Womb Wisdom is a gift of reawakening at this crucial time of great shift upon our planet.” * Linda Star Wolf, author of Shamanic Breathwork: Journeying Beyond the Limits of the Self *“Womb Wisdom speaks to the soul of all women, revealing ancient teachings that every girl should receive prior to her emergence into womanhood. Through beautiful poetic writing, the authors describe how the womb not only births children but also a woman’s spiritual potential, personal healing, and the ability to relate at the deepest level of intimacy. Offering powerful healing meditations, this is an essential read.” * Christine Page, M.D., international speaker and author of 2012 and the Galactic Center: Return of th *“Womb Wisdom activates the spiritual knowledge of the sacred union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine within, catalyzing the birth of a harmonious and evolved consciousness. Through the body-based portal of the womb the reader is provided an invaluable opportunity to integrate shadow and light, access the voice of inner guidance, and emerge anew into divine wholeness.” * Danielle Rama Hoffman, author of The Temples of Light *“Womb Wisdom brings to the reader and world the hidden (but not secret) power of women, and in particular the womb. Not only is it a profoundly healing read, but it is a delightful read. The authors point to how we “hold the power to weave ourselves into the web of life” and give us the means to do so. This book offers ancient ways to heal the places within and without where we feel separate and divided. The womb, this book shows, holds wisdom for us all.” * Julie Tallard Johnson, author of Wheel of Initiation *Table of Contents Preface by Padma Aon Prakasha Preface by Anaiya Aon Prakasha Introduction Part One The First Spiral 1 Accessing and Healing Stored Unconscious Emotions Melting the Masks Womb Connection through the Moon Time Womb Connection through True Sexual Expression Healing the Broken Connections 2 The Importance of Right Relationships Keeping Your Boundaries Intact The Womb Mandala Releasing Sexual Energy from the Past Clearing the Heart Arc Line Balancing the Masculine and Feminine Aspects of Self The Never-Ending Spiral The Commitment Part Two The Second Spiral 3 The Flowering Womb Sensing from the Heart of the Womb The Voice of the Womb The Pulse of the Womb The Flow of the Womb 4 The Power of the Womb Dying into the Vortex of the Womb The Primal Force of the Womb The Birthing of Life and True Knowledge The Vitality of the Open Womb Breakthrough 5 Restoring the Sacredness of the Womb Listening to the Voice Within Naming the Womb The Placenta: Our First Cord of Connection Healing Our First Cord of Connection Part Three The Third Spiral 6 The Womb of All Attraction The Pathway through the Shadow Self The Meeting of Light and Dark The Open Womb The Seven Gates to the Grail Womb The Two Rivers Beginning the Journey Protecting the Open Womb The Manifestation of a New World through Passion and Detachment 7 The Web of Life The Connecting of Intuitive Songlines Gaia: Womb of the World and Gateway to the Divine A Mirror: Life in the Womb/Life in the World Birthing into Spirit Living From the Womb-Heart Complete Immersion: The Bridge to Full Empowerment The Importance of Gratitude and Beauty Part Four The Womb of Gaia and Its Guardians 8 Transcending the Self The Mystic’s Path Sacred Relationship The Voice of the First Woman Surrendering Into Nothingness The Fullness of Woman The Value of Conscious Union Connection as Protection Biological Changes and the Healing of the Womb The Womb of the World 9 Gateways to the Womb of the World Sacred Sites Across the Globe Vaishno Devi, India Avebury, England Rennes-le-Château, France The Church of Saint Sulpice, Paris, France The Central Coast of Australia Teotihuacan, Mexico Moray, Peru Isis Pyramid, Giza Plateau, Egypt Part Five Infinite Spaciousness 10 Pure Freedom and Continuous Expansion The Next Octave of Evolution The Interconnection of All of Life The Black Hole Creating through the Black Light Incubation/Germination Resurgence and Resurrection Darkness Healing The Black Sun 11 Birthing Out from the Womb The Beginning of Nothing The Ego Dies in the Womb The Rebirth of the Innocent A New Light Arising Galactic Womb Alignment Resurrection of Self in the Galactic Center 12 The End of the Game The State of Adulthood Attaining Self-Responsibility Shifting Into Awareness The Dissolution of Self The Idea of You Appendix Frequently Asked Questions Resources About the Womb Healings About the Retreats Acknowledgments Index

Book SynopsisNever before in history have so many humans suffered from depression, anxiety, and stress. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 300 million people struggle with depression - equivalent to 4.4 percent of the world's population, with even more suffering from anxiety and stress. Therefore, it is critical to understand why those of us, especially in prosperous countries with high living standards, continue to get sick, particularly due to work-related stress. Studies have consistently shown purpose and meaningfulness to be essential for performance and mental health in a work place. As a result, human beings are increasingly seeking purpose and meaning in their life. Key to unlocking meaning is the idea that we are all one human being, regardless of the context. It is the purpose of this book to ensure we stop separating our persona into a working human being and private human being, and instead see ourselves as one human being, with one life in one lifetime.

This practical, rich guide will surely inspire your angelic connection to grow from strength to strength.” * CALISTA, author of The Female Archangels Oracle and founder of Angel Healing® *“Alexandra Wenman is a wonderful messenger for the Angels, and her book Archangel Alchemy Healing is a comprehensive read covering so many different aspects and facets of working with the angelic kingdom. This book is for anyone interested in calling on the Angels for world service or if you want to know how to open inner doorways to experience the angelic kingdom.” * Steve Ahnael Nobel, former director of Alternatives, London; creator of Soul Matrix Healing; and aut *“Alexandra Wenman’s Archangel Alchemy Healing is a timely contribution to the evolution of humanity. The book sheds light and clarity on the three titular themes (Archangels, alchemy, and healing) while guiding the reader along the experience of the sometimes narrow path of light, accompanied by the heavens but also fraught with challenges. Wenman does not shy away from the more difficult task of recognizing ‘false light’ both without and within and helps the reader strengthen inner knowing and discernment at a time when it could not be more important: these times of great change and the efforts of lower energies to obfuscate the light and love that are here to support us. The channeled messages of this book offer hope, uplifting and carrying the reader beyond doubt to the loving accompaniment of the angelic realm, and the exercises allow the anchoring of that hope in direct experience. A guide for the path!” * Kathryn Hudson, author of Inviting Angels into Your Life and Discover Your Crystal Family *“Archangel Alchemy Healing is a masterpiece. It is probably one of the most comprehensive books ever found in regard to the Archangels and all things associated with them. Not only is it a font of knowledge, but it also shows how people can connect and use the powerful energy of the Archangels to heal and help make a positive difference in the world. Alexandra lives, breathes, and walks the path of the Archangel Alchemist--leaving a trail of magic behind her wherever she goes. This is definitely a book not to be missed.” * Lorraine Flaherty, founder of Inner Freedom Therapy and author of Healing with Past Life Therapy *“A divine read, packed full of insight, wisdom, and knowledge to help us connect to the angelic realms. In her relatable manner, Alexandra has written a book that can truly empower those of us open to healing and who are on a spiritual pathway to self-realization. Highly recommended.” * Claire Broad, medium, spiritual teacher, and author of What the Dead Are Dying to Teach Us *“Alexandra Wenman’s Archangel Alchemy Healing leads us seekers through imaginal portals of light as her angelic beings--like the alchemical images of old--carry us into the inner realm brimming with messages of empowerment, loving support, and guidance. Drawing on angelic iconography, this beautifully written text opens to an imaginal realm, taking the reader on a journey of discovery, beyond the territory defined by word or form into the inner landscape of the soul. Archangel Alchemy Healing is sure to be warmly welcomed by spiritual seekers everywhere.” * Janet Piedilato, Ph.D., author of The Mystical Dream Tarot and The Dream Gate *“Alexandra Wenman’s book Archangel Alchemy Healing is a transformative guidebook to the mystical, angelic realm that exists all around and within us. If you are seeking to understand your true spiritual nature and navigate the unfolding process of divine energy in your life, this is the book you need. You will discover the profound message that we are all ‘Earth Angels’ and that love is our only task.” * Karen Wyatt, M.D., author of 7 Lessons for Living from the Dying *“Alexandra Wenman offers a bridge between the seen and unseen with such clarity, grace, and eloquence. Archangel Alchemy Healing is a book for the Quantum Age and beyond, with the Archangels providing leading-edge guidance to create a new way of integrated healing and well-being. Thank you, Alexandra, for bringing forth their genius and love so powerfully to help us through these transformational times.” * Stephanie Lodge, “The Hug Angel,” peace ambassador, founder of Angelic Academy, and auth *Table of ContentsForeword by Colm HollandChannelled Message from the Angelic Hierarchies of LightLiving with Angels -- A Prologue PART ONEHow to Become an Archangel Messenger Chapter 1: The Purpose of Archangel Alchemy Our Evolution and Becoming Human Angels How Does Archangel Alchemy Work?

Book SynopsisIn The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When, through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being, God's being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God's longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings, prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and sacred texts-creating a rich experience of the unity of the perennial non-dual understanding.

Book SynopsisNow in paperback! "This powerful healing work is something that’s missing in the world of mental and physical health today and is a light for others to find themselves and create new references and meaningful experiences that can be channeled to overcome any obstacle and succeed beyond their wildest dreams." — Anthony William, The Medical Medium, # 1 New York Times best-selling authorManifestation requires staying in alignment with your best intentions and highest good; and many of the secrets to manifesting a beautiful life revolve around managing the defeating thoughts, feelings, and actions that throw you out of alignment.Noted manifestation expert Mandy Morris shares the eight powerful manifestation techniques she has developed based on divine guidance, scientific research, and a decade of work. They are fast, effective, and proven. These tools of the most highly effective manifesters include:– Infusing the manifestation process with self-love to help you work through your past, set positive intentions, and create a high vibration for manifestation goals to come true– Detangling dense energy (which impacts the neurological pathways) by understanding why what we want doesn’t show up, so we can set a clear path of creation (think of an unpaved road with potholes versus a smooth drive to your destination)– Creating ways to energetically check in with yourself– Managing your psychological triggers with “pattern interrupts”– Examining the rules you live by and being brave enough to rewrite them

Book SynopsisThis radical new book from Wayne Dyer proposes that we hold the keys to solving any problems we face within us. He sets out basic principles and foundations we can understand and practice in order to access spiritual solutions to any problems we are experiencing. The book is in two sections. The first sets out the theory, the second enables you to put the wisdom into practice.Part 1. The theory:Everything in the Universe is nothing more than energy. Light and though, spiritual energy, vibrates very quickly. Physical energy, and problem areas, vibrate more slowly. When the highest/fastest frequencies of spirit are brought to the presence of lower/slower frequencies, they nullify and dissipate those things we call problems. We all have the ability to increase our energy and access the highest/fastest energies to eradicate problems in our lives. In carefully structured chapters, Wayne Dyer draws on both ancient wisdom and firsthand accounts, and shows how to:stop giving energy to things y

Book SynopsisBeing Myself is a contemplative exploration of the essential nature of our self.Everyone has the sense of 'being myself,' but not everyone knows their self clearly. In most cases, our sense of self is mixed up with the content of experience and, as a result, its natural condition of peace and happiness is veiled. Through investigation and analogy, the meditations in this collection take us back to our true nature again and again, until we begin to find our self naturally and effortlessly established there, as that. In time, experience loses its capacity to veil our being, and its innate peace and joy emerge from the background of experience.* * *The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions, compiled from contemplations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats. This simple, contemplative approach, which encourages a clear seeing of one's experience rather than any kind of effort or discipline, leads the reader to an experiential understanding of their own essential being and the peace and fulfilment that are inherent within it.
