Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press Dream Work
Book SynopsisDream Work, a collection of forty-five poems, follows both chronologically and logically Mary Oliver’s American Primitive, which won her the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1983. The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive continues in Dream Work. Additionally, she has turned her attention in these poems to the solitary and difficult labors of the spirit to accepting the truth about one’s personal world, and to valuing the triumphs while transcending the failures of human relationships.Trade ReviewHer poems are wonderingly perceptive and strongly written, but beyond that they are a spirited, expressive meditation on the impossibilities of what we call lives, and on the gratifications of change.” Hayden CarruthOliver’s poems are thoroughly convincingas genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring.” The New York Times Book ReviewOne of the astonishing aspects of [Oliver’s] work is the consistency of tone over this long period. What changes is an increased focus on nature and an increased precision with language that has made her one of our very best poets. . . . These poems sustain us rather than divert us. Although few poets have fewer human beings in their poems than Mary Oliver, it is ironic that few poets also go so far to help us forward.” Stephen Dobyns, The New York Times Book Review

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Harmonic Experience
Book SynopsisW. A. Mathieu, an accomplished author and recording artist, presents a way of learning music that reconnects modern-day musicians with the source from which music was originally generated. As the author states, The rules of music--including counterpoint and harmony--were not formed in our brains but in the resonance chambers of our bodies. His theory of music reconciles the ancient harmonic system of just intonation with the modern system of twelve-tone temperament. Saying that the way we think music is far from the way we do music, Mathieu explains why certain combinations of sounds are experienced by the listener as harmonious. His prose often resembles the rhythms and cadences of music itself, and his many musical examples allow readers to discover their own musical responses.Trade Review"Mathieu's books are worth reading for anyone in any field of music--jazz, classical, gospel, or any other. He's found the words to tell the power of music." * Pete Seeger, folksinger *"This book goes beyond what most textbooks offer, and its highly original pedagogy deserves the attention of every teacher of harmony. Above all, this is a book for anyone who would like to acquire harmony as a lived experience rather than as mere memorization of unyielding rules on paper." * Chien-Chang Yang, Quarterly Journal of the MLA *"Mathieu is consistently proving himself to be one of the best in musical theory." * John Coltrane in Downbeat Magazine *"This volume offers experiential keys to help unlock the mystery of how music works its deep affect upon us. Harmonic Experience extends any reader's understanding of music and is a user-friendly, elegant and graceful work.

Findhorn Press Ltd The Spiritual Awakening Guide: Kundalini, Psychic
Book SynopsisThe first modern, comprehensive resource on spiritual awakenings, this pragmatic, clear guide covers everything from the first step on a spiritual journey to enlightenment, and the different types of spiritual awakenings, from mild to dramatic, we may go through. Using the concept of the twelve layers that cover an awakened state Mary Mueller Shutan addresses every step of the spiritual journey, starting with the Self and showing how family, ancestral, past lives, karmic, archetypal, and other larger layers such as societal, cultural, global, and cosmic energies condition us to sleep and obscure our realization of an awakened state. Instructions for how to navigate through each of these layers and how to recognize where we are in our spiritual journey are included each step of the way along with common physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms that may be experienced. By addressing post-awakening states, oneness, dark nights of the soul, ego death, near-death and severe illness, psychic abilities, addictions, dietary changes, the God self, personal and collective shadow, and psychosis vs. awakening we understand the experiences we may go through while struggling with spiritual awakenings. This practical book opens new understandings of how to live in the world while going through an awakening process, and offers the revolutionary idea that we are meant to be humans, to have a physical body with physical, sensate experiences and emotions. We are meant to live in the world and be a part of it even as fully awakened individuals. This guide proposes a look at the possibility of leading a grounded, earth-bound life of work, family, friends, and other experiences in an awakened state.

Consortium of Collective Consciousness,U.S. Awakening the Truth Frequency
Book SynopsisAs the great-granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Laura Eisenhower is able to reveal exopolitical information about his administration, that has been largely held in secrecy. The prophetic warning about the future of the military-industrial complex, delivered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address in January, 1961, is regarded as one of the most famous speeches in American history. Laura recounts how she was conscripted to join the Mars colony, due to her relationship to Eisenhower bloodline. Fortunately, she was able to avoid her recruitment and was awakened to the false matrix of reality, blinding her from seeing the truth behind the military-industrial complex's hidden agenda. Laura is also a master astronomer, and can derive cosmic truths from the knowledge of celestial movements. For example, the study of the Venus Transit can aide in self-correction, healing and transformation in fighting the global reset. Instead, we're made aware of a great awakening

Sounds True Inc Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for
Book SynopsisWhat can you do when you carry scars not on your body but within your soul? And what happens when those spiritual wounds exist not just in you but in everyone in your family, community, and even beyond? Spiritual teacher Thomas Hübl has spent years investigating why it is that old and seemingly disconnected traumas can seed their way through communities and across generations. His work culminates in Healing Collective Trauma, a new perspective on trauma that addresses both its visible effects and its most hidden roots. Thomas combines deep knowledge of mystical traditions with the latest scientific research. “In this way,” writes Thomas, “we are weaving a double helix between ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding.” Thomas details the Collective Trauma Integration Process, a group-based modality for evoking and eventually dissolving stuck traumatic energies. Providing structured practices for both students and group facilitators, Healing Collective Trauma is intended to build a practical tool kit for integration. This paperback edition of Healing Collective Trauma offers not just an advanced look at community trauma but also a hopeful glimpse of the future. As Thomas declares, “Together, I believe we can and must heal the ‘soul wound’ that marks us all. In so doing, we will awaken to the luminous possibility and profound potential of our true, mutual nature as humankind.”

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Blossoms and Bones
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Blossoms and Bones describes what it’s like to have an eating disorder in a way I’ve never seen described before—the sudden, out-of-the-blue obsession with food and the sudden inability to recognize oneself through the obsession. Krans is a powerful storyteller: she is intuitive and direct in her words and drawings. In describing this thing that I’ve never seen described, she's taken the power of shame away from it for me—and, I hope, also for herself.” — Liana Finck, cartoonist and author of Excuse Me “I wish we all could make books like this: like if a wail could be tender, and if a scribble could contain all of humanity’s language. This book amazes.” — Tom Hart, New York Times bestselling author of Rosalie Lightning “Required reading for anyone who needs to move through hard times and find the light within us all.” — Tommy Rosen, author of Recovery 2.0 “Shocking and compassionate images that produce remarkable insights and eventually crack the bones of sorrow to release the eternal buds of renewal.” — Michael Meade, author of The Genius Myth “A revelation...a vast landscape of forgiveness, truth and possibility.” — Elena Brower, bestselling author of Practice You "Kim's message is so moving—and incredibly important at this time, when so many people are struggling with disordered eating, addiction, and limiting beliefs. In Blossoms and Bones, Kim combines honest, vulnerable storytelling with beautiful, arresting artwork to create an inspiring and completely original memoir." — Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back “A combination diary and sketchbook, Krans’s depiction of her 40 days spent at an ashram recovering from an eating disorder, divorce, and multiple miscarriages is raw and, for anyone who’s wrestled the demons of perfectionism, intensely relatable....Krans’s work literally pushes the boundaries of the page. The result is vulnerable and experimental.” — Publishers Weekly “Krans communicates far beyond the text…using drawing and lettering styles that range from precise and elegant to sketchy and unsettling.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Fasting the Mind: Spiritual Exercises for Psychic
Book SynopsisStop planning, stop comparing, stop competing, stop thinking, and just breathe deeply for a minute . . . Our undivided attention is something we are rarely able to give for reasons ranging from digital overload to the cultural conditioning of equating busyness with purpose. Just as you might choose a fast from eating to detoxify the body, the best way to overcome this modern mental overload is to periodically fast the mind. Drawing on the spiritual philosophies and meditative practices of classical yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Jason Gregory explains how fasting the mind directly impacts your habits and way of being in the world to create peace and calmness in your life as well as allow you to build a firm psychological defense against the increasing bombardment of distractions in our world. By fasting the mind we strip away the distractions and stresses of modern life and return to our original nature as it exists deep within. We become more consciously awake in every moment, allowing us to feel the real beauty of the world and, in turn, to live life more fully, authentically, and peacefully.Trade Review“I love ‘mind fasting’ because it gives us a fresh take on the word meditation and the concept of entering silence to rediscover our true, harmonious nature. . . . Interesting, simple, and doable.” * Penney Peirce, author of Leap of Perception and Frequency *“Jason Gregory not only explores the threat of cosmopolitan priorities to our physical and mental functionality, but more importantly, he leverages ancient wisdom to create an actionable plan, allowing the reader to embrace tranquility.” * David Perlmutter, M.D., author of Grain Brain and Brain Maker *“A highly intelligent and profound work sorely needed in our modern, overstimulated world. Jason Gregory blends modern science and ancient spiritual wisdom to show us why mental overstimulation is so harmful. He then offers us a pathway to healing the mind, achieving emotional balance and moving deeper into true self-awareness. Enlightening and transformative on multiple levels. . . . a must-read for all seekers.” * Brad Willis (aka Bhava Ram), author of Warrior Pose and The 8 Limbs of Yoga *“I love ‘mind fasting’ because it gives us a fresh take on the word meditation and re-enlivens the concept of entering silence to rediscover our true, harmonious nature. Especially today, we need this reminder: Dive into boredom! Dump the need for speed! Delete distractions! Jason Gregory brings his wealth of historical and cross-cultural knowledge to this practice, making it interesting, simple, and doable.” * Penney Peirce, author of Leap of Perception and Frequency *“Jason Gregory advises us to slow down, breathe, and embrace the silence at our core. Gregory is the White Rabbit of Through the Looking Glass who once advised Alice, ‘Don’t just do something, stand there.’” * Dana Sawyer, author of Aldous Huxley: A Biography *“Who doesn’t want a stronger more settled mind? No matter how enlightened you are or aren’t this book will make you stop and think in new ways.” * Jason Nemer, cofounder of AcroYoga *“Fasting the mind is the missing link for embodying pure happiness and eliminating your stress and anxiety. This book is wise, deep, thorough, and well-researched. . . . Put down your smartphone and not only read this book, but use it! Get onto your personal path to inner peace, optimal health, and enlightenment--a return to your true nature--as you clear away all the interference.” * Lisa M. Selow, author of A Rebel Chick Mystic’s Guide *“Fasting the Mind discusses with depth and clarity one of the most important aspects of internal cultivation. . . . the mind must be disconnected from distracting stimuli in order for change to take place. Jason discusses with skill and accuracy why this is vital to our practice and places this ancient concept into a modern context. Vital reading. . . .” * Damo Mitchell, author of White Moon on the Mountain Peak *“Stop distracting yourself, take time to breathe, and let this fascinating book soak in--your nervous system will thank you for it. Fasting the Mind is a treasure of a book in a world that so badly needs it.” * Kingsley L. Dennis, Ph.D., author of The Phoenix Generation *“A mixture of modern-day science and astute scholarship gleaned from the ancient texts of wisdom cultures, Fasting the Mind contributes to the understanding of how the mind can be transformed from self-centeredness into an inseparable union with all that is . . . when consciousness lives with just what is. For the sake of all beings, we need to listen, ingest, and live this reality.” * Rodney Smith, author of Awakening: A Paradigm Shift of the Heart *“Goes straight to the point in language that is both thoughtful and uncompromising. . . . Slowing down, pulling back, checking indulgence, and paying attention allow us to smell the roses and appreciate the beauty and magic of life.” * Robert Sachs, author of Becoming Buddha and The Ecology of Oneness *“A concise, ambitious, and fascinating exploration of all things awakening.

Simon & Schuster How God Works: The Science Behind the Benefits of
Book SynopsisDrawing on a wealth of new evidence, pioneering research psychologist David DeSteno shows why religious practices and rituals are so beneficial to those who follow them—and to anyone, regardless of their faith (or lack thereof).Scientists are beginning to discover what believers have known for a long time: the rewards that a religious life can provide. For millennia, people have turned to priests, rabbis, imams, shamans, and others to help them deal with issues of grief and loss, birth and death, morality and meaning. In this absorbing work, DeSteno reveals how numerous religious practices from around the world improve emotional and physical well-being. With empathy and rigor, DeSteno chronicles religious rites and traditions from cradle to grave. He explains how the Japanese rituals surrounding childbirth help strengthen parental bonds with children. He describes how the Apache Sunrise Ceremony makes teenage girls better able to face the rigors of womanhood. He shows how Buddhist meditation reduces hostility and increases compassion. He demonstrates how the Jewish practice of sitting shiva comforts the bereaved. And much more. DeSteno details how belief itself enhances physical and mental health. But you don’t need to be religious to benefit from the trove of wisdom that religion has to offer. Many items in religion’s “toolbox” can help the body and mind whether or not one believes. How God Works offers advice on how to incorporate many of these practices to help all of us live more meaningful, successful, and satisfying lives.

Sounds True Inc Roar Like a Goddess: Every Woman's Guide to
Book SynopsisHidden within every woman is a wealth of emotional resilience, great divine strength for physical and sexual self-protection, righteous fierceness to overcome obstacles, and shocking abilities to create and enjoy abundance. Yet after centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don’t realize how powerful they are — or how they’ve been enculturated to keep their true natures hidden. In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through a revolutionary revisioning of ancient India’s primary goddess archetypes: Durga teaches women how to access their full power, Lakshmi boldly leads the way to abundance, and Saraswati illuminates the gifts of freedom. For each goddess, Shunya shares ancient myths, original insights, and empowering practices — many of which supported her own journey. Once trapped within the bondage of limiting beliefs and patriarchal relationships, Shunya credits the practices in this book for the life of sovereignty she has today. Throughout Roar Like a Goddess, Shunya honors her progressive Vedic roots while breaking the shackles of tradition to bring modern-day women a decolonized spirituality. “It is time for all women to come out of the closet and roar with all their spiritual power,” she writes, “because that is our true sound.”

Book SynopsisRethink your view of the world with The Teachings of Don Juan, the first book in Carlos Castaneda''s spiritual journey into the world of sorcery... The Teachings of don Juan is the story of Carlos Castaneda''s extraordinary experiences. In 1960 Carlos Castaneda was a graduate student when he met Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian feared and shunned by the ordinary folk of the American Southwest because of his unnatural powers. During the next five years don Juan''s arcana knowledge led Castaneda into a world of beauty and terror, ruled by concepts far beyond those of Western civilisation. Using medicinal herbs Castaneda lived through encounters with disembodied spirits, shamans in the form of huge wolves, and death in the shape of silver crows. Finally, after a night of utter terror in which he knew that his life was threatened by forces which he still cannot fully explain, he gave up his struggle to become a ''Man Of Knowledge''. ''It gives a different view of the world and challenges the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught, whilst also providing simple methods to changing the way we interact with the world on a day to day basis.'' - 5* Reader Review

New Harbinger Publications Presence, Volume II: The Intimacy of All
Book SynopsisAll that is known is experiencing, and experiencing is not divided into one part (an inside self) that experiences and another part (an outside object, other, or world) that is experienced. Experiencing is seamless and intimate, made of "knowing" or awareness alone. This intimacy, in which there is no room for selves, objects, or others, is love itself. It lies at the heart of all experience, completely available under all circumstances.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company The Acid Diaries: A Psychonaut's Guide to the
Book SynopsisIn The Acid Diaries, Gray details his experimentation with LSD over a period of three years and shares the startling realization that his visions were weaving an ongoing story from trip to trip, revealing an underlying reality of personal and spiritual truths. Following the theories of Stanislav Grof and offering quotes from others’ experiences that parallel his own--including those of Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann, and Gordon Wasson--he shows that trips progress through three stages: the first dealing with personal issues and pre-birth consciousness; the second with ego-loss, often with supernatural overtones; and the third with sacred, spiritual, and even apocalyptic themes. Pairing his experiences with an exploration of psychedelic use throughout history, including the ergot-spawned mass hallucinations that were common through the Middle Ages and the early use of LSD for therapeutic purposes, Gray offers readers a greater understanding and appreciation for the potential value of LSD not merely for transpersonal growth but also for spiritual development.Trade Review"Truly The Acid Diaries is a return to form for psychedelic literature, not only is it a beautifully written narrative but it's full of engaging ideas that Gray uses to weave a web of possibility and, ultimately, hope for the future of psychedelics." * Psychedelic Press, UK, August 2010 *“For anyone who thinks the story of LSD was written in the sixties: think again. The Acid Diaries combines a sharp critique of that decade’s psychedelic adventures with a brave and original series of self-experiments in the present day. The result is an instant classic of acid literature.” * Mike Jay, author of Artificial Paradises and High Society *“Read this book.” * Nick Sand, designer of Orange Sunshine acid and legendary underground chemist *“A unique account of a courageous psychonaut’s journey into the preternatural depths of human consciousness.” * Martin A. Lee, coauthor of Acid Dreams *“The Acid Diaries is the best insider’s portrait of the psychedelic journey I’ve ever found; the writing is stunningly beautiful in its effervescent candor. The Acid Diaries is an exceptionally honest and unguarded book.” * Dr. Christopher M. Bache, author of Lifecyles, Dark Night/Early Dawn, and The Living Classroom *“Instant enlightenment? Hardly. One has to work for it, as outlined in this book . . . highly recommended . . .” * Jonathan Ott, ethnobotanist, writer, translator, publisher, natural products chemist, and botanical *“Like any strong acid trip, there is both existential angst and cosmic bliss, and many states in between. The Acid Diaries is a contemporary classic of personal psychedelic exploration.” * Michael Horowitz, Tim Leary’s autobiographer *“All psychonauts will admire and profit from this amazing gift.” * John Allen, chairman of Global Ecotechnics and inventor of the Biosphere 2 Project *“. . . a rich, dense, philosophical, and psychological trip memoir.” * Jon Taylor, Erowid *“If you have any interest at all in acid, then get your hands on this book!” * Stewart Home, artist, academic, filmmaker, activist, and author *" . . . extraordinarily insightful..." * Dose Nation, October 2010 *“It is Gray’s foundation in spiritual practices that makes The Acid Diaries glow. . . Gray is not some detached scientist. Nor is he some drugged our hippie. He writes with an intelligent, literate and confessional voice that’s casual, yet never sloppy. . . This makes The Acid Diaries an excellent “gateway” book into the genre of psychedelic literature for anyone new to the field.” * Gene Ching, Journal of Psychoactive Drugs (Volume 42 (4), December 2010 *Table of ContentsPreface 1 Batch 25 2 Wonder Drug 3 The Doors of Perception 4 Psychopolitics and the Sixties 5 Bad Trips 6 The First Maps 7 Sleep--and Waking Up 8 Realms of the Human Unconscious 9 Session 1: A Low-Dose Trip 10 The First Group of Trips 11 Session 6: Doubling the Dose 12 BPM 2 13 Session 8: Windle Hey 14 Session 9: Mum 15 Underground Psychotherapy 16 Set, Setting, and History 17 God as Light 18 “I Saw a Man Cloathed with Raggs . . .” 19 Resistance 20 Psychedelics Since the Sixties 21 Resistance (continued) 22 Anna and A Cappella 23 Anna’s Death 24 Session 21: Being Two People Simultaneously 25 The Transpersonal 26 Tripping on the Heath 27 The Purple Flowers 28 “Ecstatic Journey of the Living into the Realm of the Dead . . .” 29 “Ecstatic Journey . . .” (continued) 30 Terrible Beauty 31 “Not the true samadhi . . .” 32 Session 27: Last Trip in the Woods 33 Demonstrations, Ecstasy, Advaita 34 Return of the Repressed 35 “Another World Is Possible” 36 “Another World Is Possible” (continued) 37 Toward a Sacramental Vision of Reality 38 Meltdown in God 39 Out of the Body? 40 Session 45: At Judges Walk 41 BPM 4 42 The Long Flashback 43 Interim Report 44 Interim Report (continued) 45 Mutual Immanence 46 Sanctus Appendix: Ergot and the West Notes Bibliography: A Chronology of Psychedelic Literature

Book Synopsis“The Seth books present an alternate map of reality with a new diagram of the psyche...useful to all explorers of consciousness.” — Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of SuccessFrom the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal RealityIn the first volume of Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, Seth presented an in-depth picture of the origin of all life — from the inner dream world to the vast display of material creation. Here, in Volume Two, Seth continues his explanation of the physical world as an ongoing self-creation — a direct and intentional outgrowth of the wisdom of the life forms that inhabit it, including humanity. He expands upon his vision of a thoroughly animate universe, where virtually every possibility not only exists, but is constantly encouraged to achieve its highest potential.In his typical awe-inspiring manner, Seth sheds light on many controversial and complex subjects, including:• The ways in which our religions have stifled the human spirit• Surprising insight into life’s meaning and purpose• The genetic basis of faith, hope, and charity• The pursuit of pleasure as a fundamental human need• How each species keeps millions of characteristics within its genetic bank for various contingenciesDreams are mental work and play combined, psychic and emotionally rich creative dramas. They also involve you in the most productive of enterprises as you begin to play with versions of events that are being considered for physical actualization... — Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth
