From the foremost living authority on Yoga comes the most comprehensive and reliable treatment of the subject available today. This is a work of impeccable scholarship by a person who has dedicated his life to the understanding and practice of yoga. The book offers a complete overview of every Yogic tradition, from the familiar to the lesser-known forms. It also covers all aspects of Hindu, Buddhist and Jaina Yoga, including history, philosophy, literature, psychology and practice. In addition, included are translations of twenty Yoga treatises and the first translation of the Goraksha Paddhati.

"You don't have to accept the 'death sentence' offered by other medical systems," Dr. Morse has told thousands of patients over the years. Since 1972, he has directed a health clinic in Florida, successfully helping people cure themselves of cancer, diabetes, M.S., Crohn's disease, along with both brain and nerve damage. His "miracle" approach is fully detailed in this comprehensive book. The cause of illness is poison (acidosis), i.e., toxins from our food, water and air. No genuine healing can proceed in such a toxified environment. Morse's system is to treat the cause of illness, not the symptoms! The Detox Miracle Sourcebook shows you how to use raw foods and herbs as of the primary means of detoxification, healing, and ultimate regeneration of weak or diseased cells. This book is called a "sourcebook" because of the vast reference material it contains. The author presents a complete overview of every bodily system and every organ. He details the causes of "breakdown" in each system and recommends natural means -- raw foods and herbs -- for cleansing, and then strengthening of each part. Comprehensive charts and tables specify the sources for and uses of vitamins, major minerals, trace minerals, cell salts, herbs, fruits and vegetables, essential oils, phytochemicals. His chapters on what to expect as you detoxify are especially valuable. Morse describes the natural "side effects" (from the mild to the extreme) of releasing toxins from the body. He explains in commonsense terms how to encourage this "healing crisis" while at the same time maintaining overall balance in the body. He also offers dramatic accounts of how his own patients have healed themselves of chronic and acute conditions by using these methods. Two detox "miracle" diets are offered as the core of his natural cleansing system. He offers suggestions for the use of fresh juices, recipes for raw foods and a selection of cooked dishes that will gently ease even the timid into the process. Other outstanding features include: lists of the toxic chemicals commonly found in foods, air, water; a massive glossary of medical and nutritional terms; a Resource Guide for where and how to acquire healthy foods, oils, bodycare products, educational materials, etc.; an extensive Bibliography.

Lee Lozowick (1943-2010) was "an original" -- a rare, American-born master who spoke the language of contemporary Westerners while firmly rooted in the longstanding spiritual traditions of both East and West. The book lays out his earliest spoken words, taken from both public talks and intimate gatherings with close students. In teachings given from 1975 through 1981, Lozowick offers his listeners (now readers), an opportunity for deep self-reflection. He does this by challenging the illusions of conventional thinking, and provoking emotional reactivity (albeit often humorously) as a way to highlight one's denial mechanisms and attachments. Though Lee's talks are edited to make them more accessible to the public, his raw, earthy, style consistently breaks through. Wide-ranging subjects include the sublime and esoteric (like his commentaries on the gnostic Gospel of Thomas) to the mundane and immediately practical, like his conversations about money, sex, and conscious childraising -- a cause he advocated with passion throughout his ministry. The compilers and editors, Vijaya and Karuna, were among the early band who began work with Lee in New Jersey and then followed him out to Arizona in 1980. There, at his Prescott ashram, they lived in his close company until his death in 2010. Their careful and authoritative input on this project is the fruit of a lifetime of "playing the game," as Lee used to say -- engaging the recommended practices and work opportunities that generally stretched his students and devotees beyond their self-imposed limits. To the reader's advance, the editors were present for most of these talks, and clearly remember the impact these spontaneous teachings had on themselves and others. Their dedicated efforts have made this transcribed material available to anyone in the world who might be able to make use of it in furthering their spiritual/transformational work. For newer students and those in the master's community who have not previously heard them, these transcripts, set with the editor's context, will be an invaluable resource.

"The Bengali Indian sage, Swami Prajnanpad, communicated a full-bodied Advaita teaching to his disciple, and now French spiritual teacher, Arnaud Desjardins in the 1960s. In this volume, Desjardins takes the major teaching phrases, called Formulas, and gives commentary on each of them"--

"This small volume invites the reader into the prayer, meditation, absorption in nature that accompanies the act of contemplation. During these times of enforced isolation, the author is concerned to share these profound inner explorations with those wishing to deepen their spiritual and natural life. Non sectarian approach, with emphasis on the arts and nature as doorways to contemplation"--

"This book presents mindfulness teachings via short insights or meditations. Unlike many other books on mindfulness, which provide a lot of theoretical explanation -- they "tell" about the subject -- this manuscript "shows" the reader with teaching stories how to put mindfulness into daily life. Mindfulness simply means being alert, aware, attentive moment by moment. The simplest definition of mindfulness is mental scrutiny. The Buddha was consistently speaking about the practice and realization of mindfulness. When asked, "Who are you, my friend?" the Buddha replied directly and concisely: "I am awake!" Though that answer was an unusual way to define himself, it pointed to the essence of Buddha's teaching. When we have that mind skill, the result of our living is positive, as the Buddha noted: "All wholesome words, deeds and thoughts have mindfulness as their root." However, if the mind is not trained, the result of our living will show up much the opposite, marked by forgetfulness and neglect. The readings in this book offer gentle reminders about how to be mindful in our daily thoughts, words and actions. All too often we "forget" to be present. We neglect to be mindful when eating, listening, speaking, working, studying, seeing the sunrise and the sunset, being with friends or sipping a cup of tea. As a result, we fail to live our lives to their fullest potential and experience the joy of living. The Buddha, who was the planet's most prominent practitioner of mindfulness, taught this technique to others. This book, Think Like the Buddha, offers reflections for 108 days of mindfulness. The stories and lessons are brought together to provide insight, information, instruction and inspiration for the reader to cultivate this practice daily. The book is very "user friendly" -- immediately applicable regardless of any background in Buddhism, and is thus useful to complete beginners. Mindfulness is more than stress release, or mental focus. It cannot be separated it from the ethical framework of Buddhism. Think Like The Buddha retains this ethical component of Buddhism from which mindfulness is derived. The stories and teachings in this book cover a wide variety of specific topics, from divorce, to illness, to losing a job, to determining a course of action. All these meditations are infused with the message of compassion that all today are hungering for." --

"The translator has selected a variety of poems and stories from the Islamic Sufi tradition each of which refer to a type of "divine intoxication." He has translated them from the original Farsi. Divine intoxication is a state of absorption in the One, the Beloved, sometimes characterized by madness or unconventional behavior, and generally with a tone of longing"--

Christina Sell knows the difference between a surface buzz in the yoga business (for a better, more beautiful "ME"), and its roots as an ancient practice of ethical life and spiritual transformation. With over twenty-five years "on the mat," her voice of courage and sanity has never stopped urging yoga students and teachers alike to take a deeper dive: to confront media hype about body-image and the promise of any quick-fix in favor of a lifelong commitment to wholeness and freedom. This book is both an epitome of that call, and a practical guide to ongoing self-discovery. As the author of two previous books: Yoga From the Inside Out (2003) and My Body Is a Temple (2013), Christina Sell holds an international reputation as a gifted and compassionate teacher and trainer of yoga. As a former gymnast who dealt with eating disorders and addictions in her early years, Christina knows how to redirect thoughts and habits of negative body image toward spiritual practice and inner-awakening. A Deeper Yoga is for any practitioner or teacher who wants tools and support in finding a loving, expanded relationship with his or her body, mind, emotions and spirit. Her book is for anyone on the path of yoga. Newer yoga students will benefit from the compassionate explanations of the inner journey and find direction in building a stronger foundation of practice. Experienced yoga practitioners will find a refreshing and honest exploration of both the hype and the heart of the work. Teachers of all traditions will benefit from the ongoing reminder that yoga is not only for the body, but for transformation of consciousness and spiritual unfolding. This is a book for the long haul! A Deeper Yoga is uniquely aimed at practitioners who initially found help from yoga, but who are now experiencing impatience, discouragement or even disillusionment. It leads the reader to yoga's more esoteric teachings, using language without jargon or unnecessary details. The tone is compassionate, yet strong and authoritativeinviting us to empower our own deeper knowing, yet without watering down the traditional teachings. Topics of body image, self-hatred, eating disorders, addiction and emotional imbalance are considered throughout. Christina skillfully dismantles the illusions and early conditionings that lead to unrealistic norms of perfection and empower a media-driven standard of beauty. A Deeper Yoga offers an alternative view of genuine beauty.

In this compilation of 58 short (10-line) poems, the poet skillfully describes those qualities of heart, mind and action that characterize the awakening of "the Feminine" within the human person. As the Feminine is awakened in both man and woman, the "Mother Spirit" emerges in each one, highlighted by a display of nurturing, kindness, gentleness, generosity, cooperation, and forgiveness of self and others. The Way of the Wise Woman is a catalog of such "Feminine" virtues and behaviors and a series of contemplations to be studied, prayed and enjoyed for their poetic beauty. Not a book for women only! In fact this is a book for all weary pilgrims on the Path of spirit, particularly those who lament that, after long years of hard work or practice the "breakthrough" still eludes. Both women and men are imprisoned by a judgmental "god" of righteousness and vengeance leading to a hardness of heart. The Way of the Wise Woman is dedicated to liberating its readers from this inner tyranny. As a training-manual of sorts, the poems are far from sweet whisperings, however. The Feminine, as the poet proclaims, is also fierce, strong, ruthlessly honest, and confrontive as well as supportive. This collection may well serve to guide the seeker in self-examination as the poems encourage a refined vision of "what is," of "what is possible," and a growing sense of the presence and attention needed to enter the halls of wisdom. Such training as the book presents seems critical in a social and political climate distinguished by a tragic dissociation from the heart and a growing alienation from the mother-wisdom of the earth. No other book of poetry in the American canon undertakes to describe this process in poetic form. The effect of reading these individual sutras (as the poet calls them) is cumulative, and the book as a whole is ideal material for a contemplative study group or prayer or circle. The author writes from long personal study and experience. His years of discipleship within religious schools of esoteric knowledge, allows him to share what has been gained and lost from following a Path. The inner struggles of this type of work on self are rendered with raw precision, while being beautifully delineated in these poems. Any reader will benefit from the fruits of understanding the poet has gained from these struggles.

Imagine a life where your toddler or preschooler is happy to do what you ask, and is able to recover and move on, easily, when disappointed. Imagine getting all of your housework done while your child plays, or happily helps alongside you. And imagine feeling confident in your skills to help young children navigate the waters of social interactions with one another. "These things are possible for both parent and child," asserts Faith Collins, author of Joyful Toddlers and Preschoolers, even if a child is extra sensitive, demanding, needy, belligerent, or all at the same time. Collins is a preschooler teacher, parent coach and mother, who has witnessed such results repeatedly over many years. Her book is a treasury that provides readers with powerful, easy and positive tools to achieve profound harmony in their own families. The focus and unique contribution of this book is the principle of a mutually-responsive relationship. Mutually responsive means that both people respond quickly and positively to each other, even-and especially-when they cannot do what the other person wants. In a warm and easygoing style, the author guides parents and caregivers in establishing and maintaining such relationship with their young ones, creating the basis for discipline, education, socialization and a happier life together. Helping our children to develop the skills of mutually-responsive relationship becomes a game-changer in all parent-child dynamics. A growing population of parents are hungry for specific advice that works and meshes with their valueseZ¯that is, practical books on conscious parenting. Many books with this focus claim to be applicable to "all ages," but in reality deal almost exclusively with children ages four and older who are able to remember and discuss past and future actions. The Joyful Toddler fills a gaping hole in this marketeZ¯it is a values' based approach that specifically addresses the needs of both child and parent in the toddler and preschool years. Additional topics include: - Supporting our children as they learn to control their impulses - Learning to be responsive to our children's deeper needs, rather than their whims - Fun, gentle training toward participation in household tasks - Helping them deal with their frustrations and meltdowns in ways that work for everyone - Creating a life that works for kids and parents

Sufism (esoteric Islam) has, in the last half century, become a respected spiritual tradition no longer limited to Islam or the Middle-East. Any responsible work of translation of Sufi literature from original sources, therefore, is a step in helping further the appreciation of the Sufi heritage in spirituality. For anyone interested in Sufism in particular, or mystical understanding in general, Attar's works are indispensable. His influence on later giants, such as the mystic poet Jalaleddin Rumi, is well documented. Born in 1119, Attar lived in infamously chaotic times when petty warlords never relented, and famine and disease were the order of the day. He was killed in 1221 during the utter destruction of his hometown of Rey at the hands of invading Mongol hoards. Despite outward circumstances, the value of Attar's influence as a beacon of light during these times cannot be overestimated. He always seems to be focused on his belief in basic human goodness. Attar insisted that the individual should concentrate on refining his or her sensitivities in order to escape ignorance and become worthy of being called a "human being." Many generations since Attar have taken refuge in his writings to strengthen their faith to choose what cannot be seen, over all that can. His writings also include stories about the lives of mystics who lived before and around his time, and in this sense he provides one of the few sources about their biographies, though his is popular rather than academic information. Attar is mostly known in the West for his Biographies of the Saints, and for Conference of the Birds; but he has also produced a number of other masterpieces well-known among lay persons and Sufi practitioners in Iran, and in cultures influenced by the Persian language. Sweet Sorrows is the first compilation of Attar's lesser-known works in English. The translator, Vraje Abramian, has selected 350 short verses that cover a wide range of Attar's poetic moods-from somewhat satirical and humorous to tender and heartbreaking. Background information on Attar, as well as an essay on the translator's task make this a fascinating and authoritative book. An Appendix contains a large selection of one of Attar's classics, Moseebat-nameh (The Book of Travails).

In an age where ninety percent of the public under the age of 35 suffers from Attention-Deficit Disorder (the attention function in the brain having been badly damaged by TV and computers), this book offers the most direct non-pharmaceutical means of healing this disorder and restoring Attention-function to a fully functional, efficient, and powerful working tool for success in life and in relationships. It is an in-depth examination of the process of self-study, known as self observation. Know thyself is the most ancient of teachings for awakening. Self observation is the means. In an age when humanity has lost its connect with conscience, when humanity has poisoned the Earths atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, what is the root cause? Failure to develop conscience. We are a race without conscience. Self-observation is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life. This book is for the lay-reader. The beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and meditation, but almost none on self-study via self-observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of explication, and richness of experience which this book offers. Nobody really details how to recognize and dealt with the habits of a lifetime, whether in personal, spiritual or work life.

Lozowick once again gracefully and humorously presents His argument for living our Enlightenment (God) at once and abandoning deadening positionality that often becomes the student's substitute for real spiritual life. He announces the good news. Enlightenment is not scarce; survival is not an issue. Living Grace is available.

With sparkling clarity and humour, Rick Lewis explains exactly what meditation can offer to those who are ready to establish an island of sanity in the midst of an active life. This book offers a comprehensive look at everything a beginner would need to start a meditation practice, including how to befriend an overactive mind and how to bring the fruits of meditation into all aspects of daily life. Experienced mediators will also find refreshing perspectives to both nourish and refine their practice. Lewis's twenty-five years of disciplined sitting practice allow him to clarify common myths and confusions about meditation and its applications to life. His use of both inspiring insights and practical examples, together with anecdotes from the lives of masters and students of many traditions, make this book immediately accessible for mediators of all levels.

Contains a series of 8 lectures, given in Ojai, California in 1955 by Krishnamurti. This volume addresses issues such as: the nature of violence; the problem of change; the conditioning of the mind; how to achieve peace; the nature of worship and spiritual practice; and how to really listen.

Brilliantly illustrated, this book celebrates the wonder of breastfeeding in humans and animals. A lovely book for young children and mothers.
