Download or read book The Scribes of Sleep written by Kelly Bulkeley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dream journals are a surprisingly powerful resource for psychological and spiritual discovery. Contemporary dream science has shown that, as much as we can learn from single dreams, far more information can be derived from analyzing a series of dreams over time. Many have intuitively understood this point, and carefully recorded their dreams for years, even decades, drawing profound guidance from the patterns they discovered. The Scribes of Sleep is the first book to gather historical and cross-cultural evidence showing the value of dream journals as potent sources of healing, religious experience, and metaphysical insight. Dream researcher Kelly Bulkeley profiles seven remarkable people who kept dream journals: Aelius Aristides, Myoe Shonin, Lucrecia de León, Emanuel Swedenborg, Benjamin Banneker, Anna Bonus Kingsford, and Wolfgang Pauli. Because dreams are so complex and multi-faceted, especially when viewed in a series, Bulkeley employs an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on their meanings, drawing on data science, depth psychology, and religious studies. As the findings of these different methods are woven together and they begin to illuminate each other, it becomes clear that the practice of keeping a dream journal stimulates several specific qualities of religiosity, prompting the dreamers to move in more individualist, mystical, and pluralistic directions-towards becoming a free spirit.

Download or read book What We Did in Bed written by Brian Fagan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulling back the covers on the fascinating, yet often forgotten, history of the bed "If you thought that your bed was only good for sleeping in, having sex in, or dying in, then this book will disabuse you--in fact, it's so entertaining, it will keep you awake long into the night."--Paul Chrystal, author of In Bed with the Ancient Greeks and In Bed with the Romans Louis XIV ruled France from his bedchamber. Winston Churchill governed Britain from his during World War II. Travelers routinely used to bed down with complete strangers, and whole families shared beds in many preindustrial households. Beds were expensive items--and often for show. Tutankhamun was buried on a golden bed, wealthy Greeks were sent to the afterlife on dining beds, and deceased middle-class Victorians were propped up on a bed in the parlor. In this sweeping social history that covers the past seventy thousand years, Brian Fagan and Nadia Durrani look at the endlessly varied role of the bed through time. This was a place for sex, death, childbirth, storytelling, and sociability as well as sleeping. But who did what with whom, why, and how could vary incredibly depending on the time and place. It is only in the modern era that the bed has transformed into a private, hidden zone, and its rich social history has largely been forgotten.
Download or read book The Sleep Revolution written by Arianna Huffington and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-founder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Arianna Huffington shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted compromises our health and our decision-making and undermines our work lives, our personal lives--and even our sex lives in this New York Times bestseller. We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, with profound consequences to our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. What we need is nothing short of a sleep revolution: only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives. In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep, and harness its incredible power. The result is a sweeping, scientifically rigorous, and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles, from the history of sleep, to the role of dreams in our lives, to the consequences of sleep deprivation, and the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health--from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s. In today's fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important--and elusive--than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities, and our world.

Book excerpt: Prayer is asking, seeking, and knocking. And the Word of God says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened to" (Mat. 7:7-8). Fasting is denying yourself of food and/or water for a period of time for spiritual reasons, which manifests spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, maritally, and in other areas. It is prayer and fasting, because fasting should go along with more/intensified prayer.

Book excerpt: "Fear not, for I am the Lord God Almighty Who created all things − whether they are spiritual, physical, or what; whether they are in the heavens, on the earth, or beneath the earth; whether they are thrones, dominions, or powers; I am omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent." This is the Word of God to any child of His. Why would the child and property of the Maker of all things, Who is above all, be afraid of anything? Many times we are tempted to be afraid because of the conditions, situations, and circumstances that we may see near and around us; but God is greater than anything that we may come into contact with. If God is for us, who can be against us? My brothers and my sisters, fear not; and do not fear any being or thing!

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint!

And whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed, and be cast into the sea," and does not doubt, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. The confidence that we have in God is that when we pray according to His Will, He hears us, because we always do those things that please Him.

Download or read book WATCH AND PRAY written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you do not want to enter into temptation, then watch and pray. Even though your human spirit is willing and wants to please God, yet the flesh is weak. Watch and pray, lest you will not escape what is coming upon this world. Do you notice that it is necessary and needful to both watch and pray? If you do one of them and leave the other one undone, you are still likely to enter into temptation. Therefore, to pray effectively, you need to watch and monitor your circumstances and environment. It is like in war: surveillance and information about your enemy and his plans are a major step to winning the war. The reason why many Believers do not pray effectively is because they fail to know their enemies' strategies, or that they do not know and understand the nature of the spiritual warfare. And many Christians are careless in their lives and Christian walk.
