Corporate executives, Hollywood stars, medical doctors, teachers, secretaries, and even clergy are avidly embracing it. But what exactly is this practice?

Book excerpt: In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path.

This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.

Download or read book Being Ram Dass written by Ram Dass and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ram Dass lived a full life and then some. His final statement is thorough and, yes, enlightening.” —Kirkus Reviews Perhaps no other teacher has sparked the fires of as many spiritual seekers in the West as Ram Dass. If you’ve ever embraced the phrase “be here now,” practiced meditation or yoga, tried psychedelics, or supported anyone in a hospice, prison, or homeless center—then the story of Ram Dass is also part of your story. From his birth in 1931 to his luminous later years, Ram Dass saw his life as just one incarnation of many. This memoir puts us in the passenger seat with the one-time Harvard psychologist and lifelong risk-taker Richard Alpert, who loved to take friends on wild rides on his Harley and test nearly every boundary—inner or outer—that came his way. Being Ram Dass shares his life’s odyssey in intimate detail: how he struggled with issues of self-identity and sexuality in his youth, pioneered psychedelic research, and opened the doorways to Eastern spiritual practices. In 1967 he trekked to India and met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. He returned with a perspective on spirituality and psychology that changed millions. Featuring 64 pages of color photographs, this intimate memoir chronicles the cultural and spiritual transformations Ram Dass experienced that resonate with us to this day, a journey from the mind to the heart, from the ego to the soul. Before, after, and along these waypoints, readers will encounter many other adventures and revelations—each ringing with the potential to awaken the universal, loving divine that links us to this beloved teacher and all of us to each other.

Book excerpt: Have you ever been told to toughen up or stop taking everything so seriously? Or do you feel that in a harsh world – where the way to get noticed is to shout the loudest – your heartfelt approach just doesn’t cut it? Some of us are born sensitive. We live our lives vividly through the lens of emotion and with our senses perpetually on high alert. Even those whom others might label ‘insensitive’, will experience times in their lives when their innate sensitivity is activated and they feel overwhelmed, or sense and feel things they can’t explain. Based on strategies proven to be effective by scientists and psychologists, combined with her own research including real stories, Theresa Cheung will show you how to unlock the potential of your sensitivity. She’ll guide you through the steps that will transform the challenges of being a gentle person into a strength and shine a light on how traits such as empathy, intuition, creativity and compassion have the power to unite us. The Sensitive Soul is a vital resource for the highly sensitive, anyone who has gone through sensitive times or simply longed for the world to be a little kinder. This book was previously published as The Sensitivity Code. Read what everyone is saying about The Sensitive Soul: ‘Theresa Cheung provides a timely guide for individuals, who feel life deeply, to take a step back, and reflect upon sensitivity and how it fits in the modern world’s emotion paradigm…It reminded me there are steps I can use in my life to increase my self-care. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to explore sensitivity in themselves or others.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘A thorough explanation of the highly sensitive individual, the problems they need to wrestle with in their day-to-day life and their amazing gifts they can deploy at work and at home. Once the book talked us through these basic ideas, it then moves on to offering solutions to this high sensitivity, and to enjoying its pros rather than dealing with its cons.’ Affair With Psychology, 5 stars ‘I found this book absolutely fascinating. As someone who has been told to "toughen up" a lot I could relate to it so much. I really feel like this book has given me some great strategies for both me and my very sensitive 4-year-old son. Fantastic and recommended to anyone who feels it could help them.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘Looking at individual case studies really resonated with me. It is helpful on many levels from the identifying traits of being sensitive to acknowledging what people have said to you since a child. It makes you see the positives of being sensitive instead of the negatives. Unlike some psychology books it is very accessible and friendly and non-judgemental.’ Karen Reads and Recommends ‘The aim of The Sensitive Soul is to help gentle people recognise their own worth. To give them the coping tools to manage emotions and navigate insensitive environments. To help sensitive people identify the red flags of toxic relationships. It’s truly helped me through the past few tricky weeks. Thank you.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

Download or read book Path of the Golden Heart written by Cindy Jarrett and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Path Of The Golden Heart: Conscious Dating In An Unconscious World: the first book in Cindy Jarrett's Conscious Relationships Series is based on Cindy's pioneering work into the necessity for emotional maturity as the key for healthy and sustaining love relationships to succeed. It is an in-depth training that brings truth back into the dating process where single men and women can fully be their authentic selves while getting to know each other. It brings an end to the suffering that has long been associated with dating. It is a modern approach to dating that dispels the myths about the games in dating many authorities try to promote. This training brings single people the necessary education as to why love has become so difficult to attain and what stands in the way of effortlessly entering into love relationships. Readers are provided easy and accessible actions to take that makes Conscious Dating a welcomed relief. Love...what we all desire. It matters most to us and drives us to do the most courageous to craziest of things. Love is what gives us our supreme experiences and challenges. It is our most powerful expression. Love heals all things. And, love is our greatest teacher. Yet, love eludes us. It is everywhere and missing in so many hearts. We fear it. We run from it. We long for it. We deserve it. It is our birthright. And it is this desire for love that brings us to the dating ritual again and again. And, love is not enough. We need more than just love to build and sustain a healthy relationship. We also need commitment, clarity, honesty, character, an inner life, consistency, maturity, an open heart, forgiveness, training, guidance, consciousness, more maturity, healthy communications, sensitivity, have I said maturity yet, and much, much more. We don't usually relate to love or love relationships with maturity in mind. We don't necessarily declare that these elements are also what loving another requires.

Download or read book Becoming the Thinker written by Charles Munn and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-11-19 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title, Becoming The Thinker, is meant to be an ideal merging of ones physical brain with what some consider to be intuition or instinct or inborn health, and what others may even consider to be god. Yet Becoming The Thinker does not promise that humankind, at least in this mutation, will ever fully merge with intuition/instinct/god? and see the entire whole truth of the universe. How far You decide to take this process can only be Your choice. No one can look into your thoughts and know what limitations, intellectual or otherwise, you may have placed upon yourself or what is hardwired into Your brain. (Please forgive me for the following wolf metaphor. I use it only in order to simplify what seems to be occuring in our current culture. (smile) From the little I know about Wolves, they dont seem to be manipulative or deceitful.) I suspect you will agree that we live in a racist or ethno-centristic world. Yet the extremely small hidden ruling class does not seem to be concerned with mundane thoughts such as skin color. Rather the ruling class seems to be more like wolves in the sense that a few are alpha types, but most others are not, yet all who choose to actually think rather than react from an imposed "training" can be thought of as people/wolves. To belong to this ruling class wolf pack that is fast becoming the corporate world and the corporate media, as opposed to merely corporate America, etc., it only seems to matter that you develop a cutting edge personal honesty which does not necessarily extend to your fellow wolves and certainly not to the would be wolves who are in reality little more than people/sheep who remain in the trance of life. In this sense, the people wolves are always the hidden ruling class who cause the media to aid in the "manufacture of consent" and impose that manufactured "truth" upon the people/sheep who in turn then "believe" it is themselves who run the world. Those people/sheep still in the trance of life are not forced into being victims, they have merely been tricked into letting others do their thinking. People/sheep can also choose NOT to be mired in a myriad of unexamined beliefs (systems of thought ) which disconnects them from the clearer light. They can choose to come out into the real light, find their personal honesty and begin to wisk away the centuries of cultural fog which keeps them locked in the trance of life. That is, sheep like humans can choose to become wolf like. However the irony is that most people/sheep are so deluded that they "believe" themselves to be "Wolves". Only you can examine your ingrained systems of thought (Ego) and decide where you fit into the scheme of things. BECOMING THE THINKER is about a rediscovered ancient paradigm that is only now gaining momentum. The book shows how to reconnect with the unlimited power of your inner wisdom and mold the future to your own desires. Your awakened ability to control your own future amplifys your natural intuitive gifts. Inborn intuition provides us with the fearless talent to recognize and analyze accurate information. That ability is intuitive free will and it is the real gift of the universe. In 1991, after discovering an emerging and profound paradigm I wrote a series of essays designed to remind me how to stay connected to our natural inner power. Wanting to add momentum to the paradigm I floated some of the essays on the net. I later put it all together in this self help book, Becoming The Thinker. In order to reach even more people I recently finished the novel, Paradise Now. If youre looking for a way to truly enhance your being and your future life, youve got the right book. Ive spent much of my time being angry. However, my first seven years were serene because I was firmly in touch with my inner power. The connection was broken when I was forced to move in with my mother and the man who shared her world. During those yea
