LOVINGKINDNESS: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness Ref: RWB0491

Sharon Salzberg

Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy - both with others and with ourselves - creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America's leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness (metta in Pali), can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us create true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as "the liberation of the heart, which is love." The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity - the four "heavenly abodes" of traditional Buddhism.

THE MAP OF YOUR MIND: Journeys into Creative Expression Ref: RWD677

Maureen Jennings

Life is a hot issue, she points out, and we all need some place to express ourselves. Some people seem to be able to do that effortlessly, but for many of us there are “stoppers,” nagging, internal voices that say things like “Whatever makes you think you are creative?” Jennings reminds us that being creative isn’t reserved for the talented few, nor is it limited to writing and art. We all start out in the same way, full of life and curiosity, but somewhere along the line we often lose track of that part of ourselves, and spend our lives longing to get it back. The Map of Your Mind, full of common-sense advice and encouragement, is intended as a guide into the creative self. Here are suggestions for equipment, for ways of training yourself to be open to what goes on around you, as well as a program of timed and graduated excercises (mostly written) to be worked through alone or, preferably, with a group of friends. She includes examples from her own groups of what various members have done with each of the excercises. She also encourages you to throw out all expectations, urging you instead to simply allow yourself to come alive and explore your creative self. As a therapist, she also knows how this can help you to know and accept your own uniqueness. As the leader of many groups that explore creative expression, she also knows how support can help.

MEDITATION FOR BUSY PEOPLE: Stress Beating Strategies to Calm Your Life Ref: REA323

Osho

A rich compendium of simple strategies to reduce tension, minimise chronic stress, and quickly relax and unwind. Nobody needs meditation more than people who are so busy that they have no time to meditate. These busy people may have tried meditation but given up, as it seems so difficult to integrate into a hectic lifestyle. Most traditional meditation techniques were developed thousands of years ago for people living a very different lifestyle than today. As Osho points out, few people today find it easy to just sit down and relax. Meditation for Busy people is filled with methods that can actually be integrated into everyday life. A morning commute becomes a centering exercise, and the street noises outside an apartment window in the city become an aid rather than a distraction to finding the silent space within. Both active and passive meditation techniques are covered, and the aim of all the techniques is to teach the practitioner how to find the stillness in the storm of everyday life. Many methods are specially designed to be integrated into the reader's everyday routines, so that they soon can tackle even the most hectic day with an attitude of relaxed calm and playfulness.

MIND OF CLEAR LIGHT: Advice on Living Well & Dying Consciously Ref: RWF0275RM

The Dalai Lama

"Everyone dies, but no one is dead," goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Advice on Dying takes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare's "little death").

The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of traveling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment. Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that eternal bliss. REMAINDER MARK.

MODERN MANTRAS: Hundreds of Powerful & Affirming Phrases to Help You Deal with Problems & Live Life to the Fullest Ref: REA454

YouAreTheAuthor.com

A mantra is a life-affirming way of tapping into the fertile resources of mental energy that every man and woman possesses. Passed down through the ages, mantras are chants that have been used for inspiration and as aids to meditation by the faithful in most of the world's religions. But even in our more secular age, mantras provide inspiration and encouragement for solving important life questions. This unusual book opens with a short history of the mantra, then presents a compendium of mantras that apply to a wide range of life experiences and problems. Separate sections offer inspiring mantras that deal with work and the workplace, personal relationships, sex and romance, family problems, illness, marriage, divorce, and much more. Perhaps the world's most famous mantra - Om mani padme hum - has been chanted for centuries by Buddhist monks in their quest for enlightenment. Many modern mantras - easier for most people to understand - serve as practical aids to living. For instance, a mantra recommended for persons who are too dependent on others states simply: "I am whole and complete in myself. I do not need other people to complete me." This book is not the work of a single author, but was compiled from contributions to the youaretheauthor.com web site by people from around the world. Handsomely bound and printed, it can serve as a source of strength and comfort to all who read its words of wisdom.
