Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plan your home, improve your relationships, and achieve career success with this easy to follow Feng Shui Guide. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement objects in space to achieve harmony with the environment. The practice is estimated to be more than 3,000 years old. Feng Shui literally means "wind and water" in Chinese. Feng Shui is based on the premise that people, places and things have energy. Positive energy is called chi and negative energy is called sha. According to an ancient Chinese teaching every person is born with four favorable and four harmful directions. To fulfill his/her potential a person should utilize the auspicious directions and avoid "unlucky" ones. Each of the auspicious directions attracts a slightly different kind of good fortune. For example sleeping in your SHENG CHI direction will bring you money and career luck. It is also the direction that you should face when negotiating or giving an important presentation. If you want to get married or conceive a child you should focus on your NIEN YEN direction. Your auspicious direction can be calculated based on your gender and the year you were born. This software uses the Eight Mansions formula to identify your auspicious directions and explain the meaning of each direction.

A sudden near-death experience opened her eyes, and her life began anew. Left with nothing and nobody to rely on, her inner strength blossomed and her spiritual search began in earnest. Her journey led her to study meditation with Indian spiritual Master, Sri Chinmoy: a direction she could never have imagined. Sumangali reveals the arcane practice of learning from a contemporary Guru in lively detail, shedding light on misconceptions while remaining candid about her own initial doubts. Heartwarming, courageous, and beautifully crafted, this spiritual memoir follows a Western woman learning the ways of the East, and putting them into practice in her modern world: an ordinary person leading an extraordinary life. ,
Download or read book Auspicious Embracing the Path Toward Courage Conviction and Confidence written by Reetu Gupta and published by Dolce Media Group. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state of being where we, as individuals, greet each day with a genuine belief in ourselves while practicing self-affirming habits and disciplines and a sincere commitment to gratitude is a state of being that we all aspire to. The ability to have the courage, confidence, and conviction to not just dream our dreams but to actualize them with joy and faith, while at the same time embracing life’s struggles as we do so, is a state of being that entrepreneur and author Reetu Gupta helps us realize in her breakout book, Auspicious: Embracing the Path Toward Courage, Conviction and Confidence. Reetu shares with readers the deeply embedded connection she has with the Divine Feminine, a kinship that has empowered her to live a life of grace and gratitude as a part of the Divine Universe’s intentions. Highlighting the practices that she embraces on a daily basis — ones that make it possible for us, too, to walk the spiritual path that Reetu walks — shows us, the readers, the importance of taking time for silent meditation and conversation with the Divine Universe as a means to enjoying the gifts of empowered, grateful living. This book is a must-read for those who seek to honour their life’s purpose with spiritual intention.

Download or read book Auspicious Thoughts Propitious Mind written by Richard Camden and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an enjoyable read possibly different to any kind of book the reader has ever experienced. It is an intriguing commentary on life that begs to be re-read, studied and retained for reference, and for others in the family to read and think about the way we live, our relationships, hopes and fears, and making decisions work, as well as asking; how is it some just seem to sail through life?' It is about why we should rein in thoughts and feelings before they take control, interfere and misdirect our lives, and about our habits and customs that betray our basic animal origins, and our primitive tribal instincts that drive us in everything, including that inborn, primordial instinct that asks, is there an after-life? For both believers and non-believers, this book offers a tantalising explanation of what is God, a precise definition of love, and why Satan does not exist. Here is down-to-earth food for the soul, a practical philosophy for contentment. It is for anyone with a yearning and enquiring mind on many matters of importance in their life, and a comfort to those who worry or are just curious to understand life, others and themselves better.

Download or read book Auspicious Wisdom written by Douglas Renfrew Brooks and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-10-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rooting itself in Kashmir Shaivism, Śrividyā became a force in South India no later than the seventh century, and eventually supplanted the Trika as the dominant Tantric tradition in Kashmir. This is the first comprehensive study of the texts and traditions of this influential school of goddess-centered, Śākta, Tantrism. Centering on the goddess's three manifestations—the beneficent deity Lalita Tripurasundari, her mantra, and the visually striking sricakra—Śrividyā creates a systematic esoteric discipline that combines elements of the yogas of knowledge, of devotion, and of ritual. Utilizing canonical works, historical commentaires, and the interpretive insights of living practitioners, this book explores the theological and ritual theories that form the basis for Śrividyā practice and offers new methods for critical and comparative studies of esoteric Hinduism.
