Currently, a martial arts instructor, Reiki master, licensed skydiver, certified scuba diver, and adventurer, Householder has tested his various skills by competing in endurance events while simultaneously attacking the business world. In Warrior of Life, Householder shares his personal journey and the lessons he learned which can be applied by others desiring to improve and transform their own lives. Using the Asian martial arts systems as a framework, readers will be introduced to esoteric spiritual practices, advanced mind skills and mental techniques, physical health and fitness training, and a philosophy for success based on centuries old warrior principles.
Download or read book Spirituality A Very Short Introduction written by Philip Sheldrake and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been suggested that 'spirituality' has become a word that 'can define an era'. Why? Because paradoxically, alongside a decline in traditional religious affiliations, the growing interest in spirituality and the use of the word in a variety of contexts is a striking aspect of contemporary western cultures. Indeed, spirituality is sometimes contrasted attractively with religion, although this is problematic and implies that religion is essentially dogma, moralism, institutions, buildings, and hierarchies. The notion of spirituality expresses the fact that many people are driven by goals that concern more than material satisfaction. Broadly, it refers to the deepest values and sense of meaning by which people seek to live. Sometimes these values are conventionally religious. Sometimes they are associated with what is understood as 'the sacred' in a broader sense - that is, of ultimate rather than merely instrumental importance. This Very Short Introduction, written by one of the most eminent scholars and writers on spirituality, explores the historical foundations of the thought and considers how it came to have the significance it is developing today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Download or read book The Book of Householder Koans written by Eve Myonen Marko and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen koans, beginning some 1500 years ago, refer to stories or questions arising in encounters between monks and old Chinese and Japanese masters, and include commentaries designed to help the Zen practitioner awaken. Koans like Hakuin'sWhat is the sound of one hand clapping? are well-known, and the word koan has even gone mainstream. Thousands of classic koans emerged from the lives of monks living inside a Chinese or Japanese culture, and the commentaries on those koans contain poetic elements and images that have proved challenging for many Westerners. The Book of Householder Koans is a collection of koans created by 21st century Zen practitioners living a lay life in the West. The koans deal with the challenges of relationships, raising children, work, money, love, loss, old age, and death, and come from practitioners across three continents, and with commentaries by two Western teachers. The collection is based on the premise that our lives as householders contain situations rich with challenge and grit, the equivalents of old Zen masters' shouts or blows meant to sweep the ground right from under their students. They become koans, or koan practice, when they jolt us out of our usual way of thinking, when we're no longer observers of our lives but plunge in, closing the gap between ourselves and the situation we face.

Download or read book The Brotherhood of the Common Life and Its Influence written by Ross Fuller and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1995-03-09 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a lost tradition of inner work, the way of the householder, which was believed by the Brotherhood of Common Life to have been the teaching of the Apostles. It focuses on the emergence, amidst the decay of medieval culture, of "the mixed life," this reconciliation of action and contemplation, as the essential link between Catholic spirituality and Protestantism. The transmission of this work to lay persons seeking the interior dimensions of their lives without withdrawing from the world is presented. The hitherto monastic spiritual exercises for strengthening attention are discussed in depth. The traditional and vital Christian knowledge of the human condition, which the Brothers and Sisters verified for themselves, is emphasized, especially the crucial significance of the force of attention in the recollection of oneself and God. The importance of strengthening attentive awareness is everywhere alluded to in the sources, but virtually ignored in current accounts of the Christian heritage. The book traces a transmission of spiritual exercises supported by a strongpsychological base that is strangely familiar to the climate of today's search for meaning.

Download or read book Hidden Treasures written by Leslie Householder and published by . This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Casual and conversational, Hidden Treasures presents the Universal Laws of Abundance from a spiritual perspective. These ideas are astonishing; and you'll feel empowered as they comfort, encourage, and enlighten you on your journey to financial deliverance, even prosperity.While the author learned these principles in a secular arena through more than a decade of study and successful application, she now hopes to bring the principles to God-fearing people everywhere. How often have we been promised, "Ask and ye shall receive?" The problem is we don?t really believe it. Why? Because, so often it just doesn?t happen. So how does one develop the kind of faith required to see miracles in his/her financial life?"There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated?and when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated" (Doctrine and Covenants 130:20-21). So if you've ever wondered: "If the 'righteous shall prosper,' why am I so broke?" or, "Do I 'set my heart upon riches,' or just resign myself to the smothering prison of debt and the stain of poor credit?" ...then this book is for you.The answers to these questions (and many more) are the very answers which led Leslie and her husband to finally escape their own financial bondage, AND develop a closer relationship with God through the process. While the author is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the ideas and applications of scriptures are solely her own and do not necessarily represent the beliefs or doctrines of any particular denomination. In a compelling way, she brings hope to individuals in strained relationships, mothers who want to come home from work, and fathers who want to spend more time with their family. Hidden Treasures brilliantly delivers a profound message of hope for all who believe there is a God.
