Download or read book Love Letter to the Earth written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh champions a more mindful, spiritual approach to protecting nature and limiting climate change—one that recognizes people and planet as one and the same. While many experts point to the enormous complexity in addressing issues ranging from the destruction of ecosystems to the loss of millions of species, Thich Nhat Hanh identifies one key issue as having the potential to create a tipping point. He believes that we need to move beyond the concept of the “environment,” as it leads people to experience themselves and Earth as two separate entities and to see the planet only in terms of what it can do for them. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh points to the lack of meaning and connection in peoples’ lives as being the cause of our addiction to consumerism. He deems it vital that we recognize and respond to the stress we are putting on the Earth if civilization is to survive. Rejecting the conventional economic approach, Thich Nhat Hanh shows that mindfulness and a spiritual revolution are needed to protect nature and limit climate change. Love Letter to the Earth is a hopeful book that gives us a path to follow by showing that change is possible only with the recognition that people and the planet are ultimately one and the same.

Download or read book The Way of the Rose written by Clark Strand and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest book from don Jose Ruiz presents tools and teachings from his family's Toltec traditions - a tradition that was first revealed in the bestselling The Four Agreements. Humanity is in crisis: War, poverty, environmental disasters, and more have brought the planet to a tipping point. In our personal lives, many of us carry deep-seated fear, resentment, anger, and even hatred for others and ourselves. Since ancient times, Toltec shamans have taught that the root of all this discord can be found in the human mind and what they called its addiction to suffering. They have also taught that the time will come when we must choose to either break free from this addiction or pay the ultimate price. According to Toltec Shaman don Jose Ruiz, that time is now, and the change that is needed can only come from within. In The Shaman's Path to Freedom, Ruiz will teach you how to find and claim your own personal freedom, one based on unconditional love for yourself and others, and in doing so break your mind's addiction to suffering. By walking this path, you can live a life of peace and harmony within yourself, which is the most important thing you can do to bring about the change that is needed in the world. Filled with Toltec practices for establishing personal freedom, The Shaman's Path to Freedom is don Jose Ruiz's most personal and radical book yet, guaranteed to thrill both new readers and longtime fans.

It is this new found wisdom that the mind starts to gradually function in the world differently to attain a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy....the Enlightened mind. Since everything we do is experienced through the mind if the mind is peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy, one will experience a life that is also peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy. Attaining Enlightenment is a mind that has attained peace, calm, serenity, and contentedness with joy that is permanent. The mind can be trained to completely eliminate such discontent feelings as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, loneliness, boredom, shyness, jealousy, and all other negative feelings that cause the mind to be discontent and experience suffering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaman, artist and author Elen Sentier writes, "I was first taught the trees of the goddess as a child. The old ones from the village would tell us about the tree, how it lives, what creatures it lives with, its whole environment. They would tell us stories then we would go to the tree and sit with it, listen to what it had to show and tell us. Later, we would ask it for a piece of its wood to make its spirit- home. These were rituals but all so natural and normal they were just a part of life and living for me as I grew up. TREES OF THE GODDESS will help you find your way of doing this."

Download or read book Unlocking Your Soul s Consciousness written by Terry L Newbegin and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have been programmed for centuries to come from a rational, persuasive, and susceptible mind when it comes to understanding God, yourself, where you come from, why you are here on earth, and who created you. You do not realize that you were personally part of the story of creation written by the prophets in Genesis. It is just that you have forgotten because of your many lifetimes on Earth. So allow yourself to open up to what you have been taught about God. Unlocking Your Soul's Consciousness is a groundbreaking book that takes you all the way back to the first creation, known as the Garden of Eden, and how it relates to your own evolution as a god in your own right. When you live and make choices from the mind of reason, from others long established interpretations of God's written words, and from what the experts assert what is best for you, your soul cannot bring forth the wisdom that you hold deep within your consciousness. Thus, you become more and more susceptible to turbulent experiences. If you are looking for clarity in life and how to overcome your suffering, pain, and anger, then it becomes very important to understand who you truly are, where you truly come from, how miracles are created, and why you do the things you do. Without realizing it, your soul has been hiding from you for many lifetimes, and by choosing to open your heart and mind, putting aside your dogmatic beliefs for a while, your soul will reveal all the whys of you choosing sin, physicality, earth, forgetfulness, and suffering as the means to remember who you are. Know that being aware of who you truly are is more important than all the treasures, education, and power in the world.

This book was written with the intention to awaken, inspire, and heal you by bringing forth wisdom that the totem animal kingdom contains. Totem animals really do bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual world for a lot of people. Animals are something real in their physical world, so they can relate far easier to the spiritual wisdom of an animal than an angel or ascended master. People need something in their physical reality as evidence before they believe in something or relate to it. Most totem animal spirits have a physical representation alive here on the planet for us to connect with, which makes it far easier for people to be open to and accept their spiritual aspect.

Download or read book Our Spirits Aligned written by JoAnn Restoule and published by Wood Lake Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one define reconciliation that gives meaning to those who have experienced and suffered from colonization, and to those who have not? Is it even possible? This book presents a collection of storytellers whose stories draw on personal, family and community experiences and not only give a narrative of history, but are crucial to the cultural and political resurgence of indigenous nations and, most importantly, a gateway to reconciliation. Many of these stories were untold for numerous years, as it simply was not safe to share, but the present is a different time, and people are ready to listen. Each voice in this book is unique; the voices will draw you into a new perspective of the challenges the authors faced, as well as the opportunities. Once these voices have been heard, the time for healing, understanding and mentorship may begin. What ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ means to Alberta Billy, one of the brave voices in this book, is to regain community strength and to help indigenous people heal and educate others. The understanding that should be taken from this book is how resilient the sense of community is with the indigenous people, and how we can learn from them. In the end, the intention behind reconciliation is to form a larger community with no cultural borders, where everyone benefits.
