HEALING WITH FORM, ENERGY & LIGHT: The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra & Dzogchen Ref: BX58

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

In the Shamanic world-view of Tibetan Bon, the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space are accessed through the raw powers of nature and through non-physical beings associated with the natural world. In the Tibetan tantric view, the elements are recognized as five kinds of energy in the body and are balanced with yogic movements, breathing exercises, and visualizations. In the highest teachings, Dzogchen, the elements are understood to be the radiance of being and are accessed through pure awareness. Healing with Form, Energy and Light offers the reader healing meditations and yogic practices on each of these levels. Tenzin Rinpoche's purpose in this book is to strengthen our connection to the sacred aspect of the natural world and to present a guide that explains why certain practices are necessary and in what situations practices are effective. This is a manual for transforming an anxious, narrow, uncomfortable identity into one that is expansive, peaceful and capable. And the world, too, is transformed from dead matter and blind processes into a sacred landscape filled with an infinite variety of living forces and beings.

SPIRITWALKER: Messages from the Future Ref: 2555

Hank Wesselman

Not since Carlos Castaneda's tutelage under the Yaqui shaman Don Juan has there been a spiritual autobiography quite like Spiritwalker. Hank Wesselman's amazing true story begins with a series of vivid dreams he had while living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawaii. Eventually Wesselman became convinced that what he'd experienced were not merely dreams but a vision encounter with the spirit world. Why was he being propelled by these vivid altered states to embark on twelve fantastic journeys across time and space? Along the way he met shape-shifting entities, spirit helpers and guardians, and merged with a Hawaiian Kahuna mystic 5,000 years into the future. Wesselman's own scepticism makes his mysterious odyssey compelling reading for believers and doubters alike, and challenges our preconceptions of the world, reality, and our future. "What a fabulous, inspiring account! This book explodes our narrow ways of thinking about the nature of the mind." - Larry Dossey.
