PSYCHE’S SEEDS: The 12 Sacred Principles of Soul-Based Psychology Ref: B2FRWD330

Jacqueline Small

The author of Awakening in Time uses the archetypal myth of Psyche and Eros to show readers how to combine their psychological and spiritual searches. Just as the mythical Psyche had to learn a new set of life principles to free herself from the jealousies of Aphrodite and win the love of the goddess's son Eros, so do we need to use Psyche's lessons to combine the forces of our psyche and soul. The book's "Twelve Seed Thoughts for the Journey" and "Psyche's Four Tasks" give readers immensely practical personal exercises for creating a soul-based psychology. Jacquelyn Small shows how it is only when we learn to combine soul and psychology that we find the true path to a higher purpose and a better sense of self.

ROAD TO THE SUNDANCE: My Journey into Native Spirituality Ref: B2FRFD123

Manny Twofeathers

A casual account of intensely painful ceremonial rituals that provide pathways to the spiritual world of the Shoshoni and Lakota peoples. The usual picture of religious self-flagellation pales compared with what Twofeathers, a Native spiritual leader and craftsman, undergoes to achieve a higher understanding. Writing in a relaxed conversational prose, Twofeathers describes how, at urgings from the spirit world, he began to immerse himself in the yearly Sundance rituals held throughout the West. At first, his participation in the Shoshoni ritual merely required him to dance nearly continuously under a hot sun for four days, whthout food or water. Graduating to the Lakota ceremony, Twofeathers has his chest pierced with bones to which ropes are affixed, tying Twofeathers to a sacred tree; running backwards at full speed is the painful means of seaparating from the tree. But there's more. Twofeathers also has his back piereced to enable him to drag up to eight buffalo skulls four times around a sacred arbor. As a veteran of these practices, Twofeathers comes to regard himself as a healer (to the amazement of doctors, he dissolves his agonizing gallstones and somewhat alleviates his high blood pressure and diabetic problems through spiritual medicine), a seer, and a counselor, whose services are sought after within the Native American community. Paralleling his account of these rites is the tale of his success as a craftsman of ``medicine wheels'' and ``dream catchers,'' which are eagerly snapped up at craft fairs and New Age gatherings, and the saga of his unhappy family life, which is finally stabilized, thanks in large part to his flesh sacrifices. A modest and likeable narrator, Twofeathers avoids the self- righteous polemics sometimes found in this genre, and while the gorier sections are initially jolting, his aplomb in withstanding pain and coming back for more lends a certain normalcy to this ritual." - Kirkus Reviews

TOO TIRED TO KEEP RUNNING, TOO SCARED TO STOP: Change Your Beliefs, Change Your Life Ref: B2FRFD120

Joyce A. Patenaude

Go-go-go. Work-work-work. Buy-buy-buy. Many of us are running to achieve what we've been led to believe will bring us happiness and fulfilment, that will tell us we are "enough". Patenaude identifies this trap and offers us an alternative, inviting readers to examine their beliefs, feelings, and messages, to discover the courage and the tools to stop "changing horses on the same merry-go-round." She shares case studies from her work as a psychotherapist to remind us that we are not alone in our insecurities and false beliefs. Her concept, which is precisely depicted as a well-defined Core Belief Blueprint, is that once that core belief is changed, one's life begins to change. Each chapter ends with a series of probing, thought-provoking questionnaires, and exercises that I very much enjoyed completing because of the insights gained and their immediate applicability.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT: How They Change Your Mind Ref: B2FRWB0286

Martin Howard

In this handbook for locating the hidden sales messages that bombard us everyday, Martin Howard explains the new techniques that corporations are using to make subconscious approaches without your consent. It covers the five major zones where consumers are being confronted: in the retail shopping context, at major events and concerts, through information media, personal friendships, and your computer. Up until recently, there was a social contract that alerted consumers to advertising messages. They were clearly labeled, endorsements were obvious and certain areas were off-limits. That contract has been broken, and many corporations are resorting to underhanded methods to persuade. Our shopping centres, stadiums, telephones, friendships and editorials are all "fair game." Marketing messages have crossed into the social sphere. We Know What You Want points out dozens of examples of how these signals are being relayed and gives you the tools and techniques to decode these messages and make your own decisions.

WILL YOGA & MEDITATION REALLY CHANGE MY LIFE Ref: B2FREA431

Stephen Cope

As one of the largest and most successful yoga-based retreat and education centres in the world, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Lenox, Massachusetts, attracts many of the leading teachers of yoga and Buddhist meditation to its annual retreat, East meets East: Yoga & Buddhism. In Will Yoga & Meditation Really Change My Life? Stephen Cope brings to the printed page the fascinating dialogue that he has fostered in these retreats. Cope asks participating teachers to share their Tales from the Path, stories of how the long-term practice of these ancient traditions has changed their lives. The result is an inspirational volume featuring 26 distinct voices telling their stories, how they became interested in these traditions, the teachers who inspired them, and how the practice of yoga and meditation has shaped their lives and perspectives. The contributors, many of whom are authors of well-known books on these topics, speak of their experiences as real people living in our complex world, complete with spouses, children, aging parents, financial demands, illnesses, injuries, and all of the ordinary aggravations of everyday life. Many of these teachers have studied and explored the practice of yoga or meditation over the course of 30 years and have been pivotal in creating retreat centers, styles of yoga, and teaching techniques that have contributed to the widespread popularity of these practices in mainstream culture.

WINDOWS OF MY SOUL Ref: B2FRMA009

Chris Camozzi

"Windows Of My Soul," Chris Camozzi's debut release on Higher Octave, brings this virtuoso guitarist to the forefront of contemporary instrumental music with a collection of stunning compositions played straight from the heart. Already established as one of the most versatile and in-demand session guitarists in pop music, having spent the past five years touring and playing with Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey, Camozzi has now focused his mastery on his own tuneful and gracefully impassioned music. Initially inspired to take up guitar after seeing the Beatles on television when he was seven, Camozzi started performing publicly at the age of ten. Absorbing the influences of such role models as George Benson, Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton and Robben Ford, he perfected his technical skills by maintaining a tireless schedule that included doing session work with top producer Walter Afanasieff during the day, fronting his own Top 40 band at night and playing various casual gigs on the weekends. When the time arrived to record his own album, Chris was ready with original material that reflects both his limitless melodic imagination and his deepest emotions. Part of Camozzi's genius lies in his ability to bridge the worlds of jazz, pop, rock and New Age instruments. "It was a gift for me to be able to express the things I really care about," he says. "I hope it touches people." Through "Windows Of My Soul," Chris Camozzi has expressed himself in a dynamic musical language with a fresh, contemporary sound that is at once uncommonly intimate and universally appealing.
