Download or read book Catfulness written by A Cat and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings love to create problems for themselves. I observe this on a daily basis, as do all my feline friends. They never stop, and one of their favorite tasks is to find more tasks to do. They are always looking for something, as if the life they have isn't enough. They say they are looking for happiness--but do they know what happiness is? We cats know the art of living. We eat when we're hungry, sleep when we're tired. Sitting for hours outside a mouse hole has taught us patience. Staring at an aquarium has brought us meditation. And we know how to please ourselves. Catfulness is a seven-week mindfulness program for human beings. If they can live their lives more like us, the world will be more serene. As Sigmund Freud said, "time spent with cats is never wasted".
Download or read book The Dalai Lama s Cat and the Power of Meow written by David Michie and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you ever doubted that your feline companion has her own inner life, just watch what happens when she falls asleep, and loses conscious control of her physical being . . . a twitching of limbs, a quivering of the jaw, sometimes perhaps a snuffling noise or a meow. . . . Cats may indeed be capable of great mindfulness. But we are thinking beings, too. In my own case, unfortunately, a being who thinks rather too much." In the latest installment of the Dalai Lama’s Cat series, His Holiness’s Cat ("HHC") is on a mission: to think less, to experience more, to live in the moment. She soon learns the proper phrase for this, being mindful, or, a concept better known to her as the power of meow. What ensues is a journey to discover her own true nature, to gain a deeper understanding of her mind, and to experience life’s greatest joy, the here and now. Throughout, she shares encounters with familiar inhabitants of Dharamsala, as well as a whole new cast of characters: a senior exec from one of Silicon Valley’s most famous social media companies (hint: the name rhymes with "litter"), the Pope’s beloved dog (who shares a shockingly similar title: HHD, His Holiness’s Dog), and a public health inspector who threatens to have our poor narrator banned from the Himalaya Book Café. In this follow-up to the Dalai Lama’s Cat and the Art of Purring, readers escape to the enchanting and exotic world of the Dalai Lama’s monastery in the Himalayas, and take a peek inside the mind of a delightfully imperfect creature on the path to enlightenment. By accompanying HHC on her journey, you will learn new ways to relate to your own mind: slowing down, finding peace, and abiding in the boundless radiance and benevolence that is your own true nature.

Book excerpt: “It’s official. That thing that classic art has been missing is a chubby reclining kitty.” —The Huffington Post Internet meme meets classical art in Svetlana Petrova’s brilliant Fat Cat Art.

Now fans will have the ultimate full-color collection of her work, including several never-before-seen pieces, to savor for themselves or to give as a gift to fellow cat lovers. From competing with Venus’s sexy reclining pose (and almost knocking her off her chaise lounge in the process) in Titian’s Venus of Urbino, to exhibiting complete disdain as he skirts away from God’s pointing finger in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable fat cat can.

Download or read book Meditating with Animals written by Pamela Robins and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our animals show us unconditional love in its purest form. They are our most loyal companions, constantly navigating our energy to support our needs. This is something Pamela Robins experienced on a profound level when she was faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, a divorce, and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself. Her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. Recognizing how hard they were working to comfort and heal her, Pamela worried their their efforts could be depleting them of their own health and vitality. When she was strong again she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her. And so it was that the Animal MethodTM was born--a practice graciously given to Pamela by her beloved animal companions that is based on the idea of consciously recycling positive, healing energy between humans and animals. It involves mindfully observing and learning from your animal, taking cues from their natural state of being, and applying that wisdom to your own way of being. This method is beautifully described in Meditating with Animals. In it you'll also read inspiring animal stories and learn about the countless health and life benefits that result from having a deeper, more compassionate connection with an animal. And each chapter offers a meditation exercise that is specially designed to help you embrace a different aspect of the Animal Method. Meditating with Animals was written with the hope of helping you see more clearly the teacher, the healer, the magical being who is right there at your feet--and the one also within you. We can learn so much from animals when we take the time to be still with them and observe. The animals in my life have taught me about love, compassion and remembrance. Meditating with Animals is a beautiful exploration of how animals enrich our lives and how we can better return that gift to them. This is a very important book that will touch many lives. --Dr. Tererai Trent, Oprah Winfrey's "All-Time Favorite Guest" This is a powerfully inspirational book that is filled with wisdom and love. As a neuroscientist I have researched the therapeutic relationship between horse and human, as well as witnessed the interaction between therapy dogs and children in my clinic. I have also experienced firsthand the heart-warming energetic exchange and healing love that animals provide in our world. This book artfully shows the power our animals offer to us. They unselfishly give of their power within to awaken our connection with them. Meditating with Animals will gladden your heart and provide insight for tapping into the healing love animals so generously offer to us. It is a MUST READ if you love animals! --Jeffrey L. Fannin, PhD

Download or read book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha written by Daniel Ingram and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.
