SLOWING DOWN TO THE SPEED OF LIFE: How to Create a More Peaceful, Simpler Life From the Inside Out  SLOWING DOWN TO THE SPEED OF LIFE: How to Create a More Peaceful, Simpler Life From the Inside Out Ref: RWB0540

Richard Carlson & Joseph Bailey

Ever notice that the faster you go, the "behinder" you get? Ever feel like while your life is full - maybe too full of things to do, you aren't enjoying life nearly enough? In Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey show you how to create a more peaceful, simpler life from the inside out. In the author's own words: "This is a book about slowing down and learning to live in the moment. We are not, however, going to ask you to change your lifestyle. This change will result from a wiser way of being in the world, not from superficially reorganising the externals of your life. You will discover how your quality of life is created within rather than imposed upon you by outside forces." REMAINDER MARK.

SOUL THERAPY  SOUL THERAPY Ref: REA352

Joy Manne

In this caring guide, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Joy Manne suggests that by differentiating between the Ego, the focus of Western psychotherapy, and the Soul, the spiritual/ethical part of one’s consciousness, we can move to a Soul Path, where we strive for harmony and balance. Manne envisions this Soul as a creative, healing inner shaman. Blending a number of contemporary therapies with ancient practices of purification and breathwork, Manne touches both body and soul. "’Soul Therapy’ gives powerful, simple guidance for healing our core issues. It points the way to how we can create ethical and compassionate relationships with others" - Kylea Taylor.

SOUL TRAVELER: A Guide to Out-of-Body Experiences & the Wonders Beyond  SOUL TRAVELER: A Guide to Out-of-Body Experiences & the Wonders Beyond Ref: RFD409B

Albert Taylor

In this fascinating volume, you will read the story of one man's ability to travel beyond the physical plane of existence in search of the "Ultimate Truth" in this world...and the next. From an early age, Albert Taylor experienced bouts of almost death-like paralysis which were accompanied by extraordinarily lucid and realistic dreams. His grandmother called them "Witch Rides. " As he grew older and learned more about his gift, these Witch Rides progressed in strength and scope to eventually become full-fledged out-of-body experiences. Gradually, Albert found himself able to "fly" with his mind to distant places, breaking the boundaries of this world, and encountering spirits beyond. Engineer, scientist, and artist, Albert Taylor relates his research and knowledge with great insight and humor. He tells us how these paranormal events have affected his life, how anyone can have an out-of-body experience...and even learn to consciously control their "Soul Travels."

STOP BEING MEAN TO YOURSELF: A Story About Finding the True Meaning of Self-Love  STOP BEING MEAN TO YOURSELF: A Story About Finding the True Meaning of Self-Love Ref: RED623

Melody Beattie

In this facinating sequel to her bestselling Codependent No More, Melody Beattie takes us far beyond the revolutionary lessons of that book, which touched uncounted lives. Her newest offering is a refreshing departure from the traditional self-help format and is distinguished by the familiar compassionate voice and penetrating insight for which Beattie is renowned. Stop Being Mean to Yourself takes us to Northern Africa on a modern-day odyssey: one as full of suspense and excitement as it is of hope and encouragement. In teeming Casablanca, in war-torn Algeria, in the deep caverns of Egypt's great pyramids, Beattie uncovers simple yet vital lessons for living in today's world: lessons about letting go of fear and trusting our own instincts, about setting boundaries and working with our own special power. A masterful blend of travel adventure and guide to spiritual discovery, full of new ideas for overcoming the pitfalls of guilt and self-doubt, her story beautifully illustrates the importance of self-love. "... gives you the tools to discover the magnificence and splendour of your being." - Deepak Chopra.

STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD  STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD Ref: RWB0270

Balasa Prasad

Dr. Prasad contends that smoking is a problem of the mind, not of nicotine addiction. Why do most people who try to quit smoking fail - even with the help of the nicotine patch, gum, medications, hypnotism, or other state-of-the-art aids? In his radical approach to conquering the smoking habit, Dr. Balasa Prasad states that these crutches are ineffective because they futilely focus on nicotine addiction instead of the underlying psychological triggers that enslave smokers to their habits. His inspirational and practical program gives readers a confidence in their inner strength, helps them identify their addictive profile with the use of questionnaires, and provides a powerful three-step plan that will help them kick the habit once and for all.

Jean Shinoda Bolen

This classic explores the inter-relationship between meaningful coincidences and our intuitive sense that we are part of some deep oneness with the universe - a oneness called Tao in Eastern philosophy and synchronicity in Jungian psychology. By relating the concepts of Tao and synchronicity, Dr. Bolen reveals important links between psychology and mysticism, right brain and left, the individual and the external world. The Tao of Psychology provides the key for each individual to interpret the synchronistic events in his or her life and gives fresh insight into the relationships, dreams, and flashes of perception that transform our existence.

TURNING SUFFERING INSIDE OUT: A Zen Approach to Living with Physical & Emotional Pain  TURNING SUFFERING INSIDE OUT: A Zen Approach to Living with Physical & Emotional Pain Ref: RWD426

Darlene Cohen

Darlene Cohen discovered the secret to finding happiness in the midst of debilitating pain. She shares her knowledge in her popular workshops and now in this book. Cohen, who has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for eighteen years, was hobbling painfully to her local Zen centre one day, when she made a discovery that changed her life: if she focused on the foot that was in the air rather than the one that was hitting the pavement, her stamina increased enormously. It was the beginning of a completely different approach to the crippling pain that had beset her for so long. As she demonstrates here, this approach can be expanded to all types of pain: physical, psychological, and spiritual. Cohen - a certified massage and movement therapist and Zen teacher - proposes a radically liberating alternative to the usual desperate search for pain relief: paradoxically, she says, release from suffering lies in paying closer attention to it. When we keep pain at bay, we keep pleasure at bay, too. The two are interdependent, and our ability to experience each is totally dependent on our understanding of the other. "Enrich your life exponentially," Cohen advises. If your pain is one of the ten things you are aware of, then it constitutes a tenth of your total awareness. Expand your awareness to a hundred things, however, and your pain is only a hundredth of your awareness. With stories, strategies, exercises, and an awareness born of long Zen practice, Cohen shows us how to tap into that enrichment - and how we can lead a satisfying and even joyful life in the very midst of pain.

WHOLE HEALING: A Step-by-Step Program to Reclaim Your Power to Heal  WHOLE HEALING: A Step-by-Step Program to Reclaim Your Power to Heal Ref: RED442H

Elliott S Dacher

For more than 20 years, Dr Elliott Dacher, a practising and leading advocate of mind/body healing, has worked with thousands of patients, treating them by helping them rethink their ideas about healing and wellness. Using an original "whole healing" model, Dr Dacher highlights our four healing systems, which together have a remarkable power to keep us well: the body's own natural system of checks and balances; the mind/body approach, in which physical and psychological components are interdependent; the best traditional and alternative treatments available; and the transforming strength of our spiritual resources. When we draw on these four healing systems simultaneously, Dr Dacher argues, we can profoundly affect our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Using these fundamental concepts, Dr Dacher includes step-by-step, imaginative exercises that start the reader on an incremental and exciting path to wellness. Whole Healing takes the reader on a journey from powerlessness to purpose as we confront the physical and emotional ills that are an essential part of human experience.

Deborah Tannen

Why do so many women feel that men don't tell them anything, but just lecture and criticise? Why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? In this pioneering book Deborah Tannen shows us how women and men talk in different ways, for profoundly different reasons. While women use language to make connections and reinforce intimacy, men use it to preserve their status and independence. The result is that conversation becomes a cross-cultural communication, fraught with genuine confusion. Using examples and anecdotes, this book offers an approach to banishing the misunderstandings that confuse our relationships. REMAINDER MARK.
