In a world where our lives and daily rhythms are becoming
increasingly demanding, being able to implement effective
techniques to downregulate our stress levels is essential to
maintaining a healthy mind and body. The most significant component
of the parasympathetic nervous system, which regulates our ability
to "rest and digest," the vagus nerve is an information
superhighway transmitting information between the brain and the
heart, the gut, the immune system, and many organs. By stimulating
the vagus nerve, you can work with your parasympathetic nervous
system to reduce stress and anxiety, regulate digestion and
appetite, moderate heart rate and blood pressure, and balance
systems throughout the body. Backed up by the latest scientific
research, this book will guide you through more than 100 effective
exercises to naturally and gently stimulate your vagus nerve and in
turn help manage anxiety, depression, inflammation, sleep, and
digestive disorders. The simple techniques include a variety of
balance, hearing, sight, breathing, and touch exercises. By
improving the quality of stimulation the vagus nerve receives,
these neuroeffective exercises enable the brain-gut and brain-heart
axes to function more predictably and effectively, providing a
solid foundation for mental health, physical resilience, and
self-healing. With this comprehensive and accessible guide to
natural vagus nerve stimulation, anyone can apply these powerful
self-help techniques and experience a more balanced and resilient
mind and body.
We are all curious about the mystery of death. Whether facing our
own, assisting a loved one in their last days, or grieving the loss
of someone dear to us, we all have questions about dying and what
happens to our soul after we depart physical form. In this
compassionate and straightforward guide to the spiritual process of
dying and what happens after death, psychic medium Salicrow answers
the most common questions asked by her clients over her decades of
work as a spirit speaker. Seeking to normalize the spiritual
aspects of end-of-life care, she explains how active dying exists
outside of normal reality, in a state in which the dying person and
their caregivers often experience a heightened state of
consciousness. Describing how the spirit is separate from the body
and continues to exist after death, she shares thought-provoking
stories of spirit contact and synchronicities that occurred for
those actively involved in the dying process. She reveals how these
encounters are common and act as guideposts along the journey into
death, helping to ease the transition. She offers simple techniques
for helping loved ones who are stuck or struggling to cross over
and shares practices designed to help honour our beloved dead and
develop living relationships with our ancestral spirits. Presenting
an outline of what may be experienced during the dying process and
beyond, Salicrow explores the time when a soul is actively dying or
recently departed. She explains the multiple ways spirits reach out
to communicate with us and provides a deep understanding of the
signs, symbols, and sensations that spirits use to contact us as
well as ways to strengthen that connection. She also explores
challenging situations such as suicide, murder, and healing
unresolved issues with the dead. Crafted through years of spirit
communication sessions, this guide details how the spirit world
works while revealing the beauty, healing, and love that exist in
death.

Satish Kumar and his friend EP Menon embarked on an 8,000-mile
peace pilgrimage from India to Washington, from the grave of
Mahatma Gandhi to the grave of John F Kennedy. Walking at the
height of the cold war, taking no money with them and declining all
offers of transport and donations, they talked to heads of state
around the world and met with peace activists such as Martin Luther
King Jr. along the way. Kumar, author of No Destination and Earth
Pilgrim, tells the story of their pilgrimage in this autobiography.
When the philosopher Bertrand Russell was imprisoned for his
anti-nuclear activities, this was a call to action for Kumar. If a
90-year-old man would go to jail for peace, what could Kumar
contribute to the struggle? So he set out to walk to the four
nuclear capitals of the world - Moscow, Paris, London and
Washington. A young Georgian woman he met along the way gave him
packets of tea to give to the leaders of these countries, so that
they would stop and have a cup of tea when they might "get the mad
impulse to press the nuclear button". He was determined to deliver
a packet of this Peace Tea to each of the leaders. From New Delhi
to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and the Soviet Union, through
Poland, East and West Germany, Belgium, France and England, to the
US and finally Japan, Kumar and Menon walked for two and a half
years. They faced severe challenges - walking illegally without a
visa in the Soviet Union, imprisonment in France and experiencing
the Jim Crow laws in the USA - but everywhere they were met with
incredible generosity from the people who housed and fed them.
Pilgrimage for Peace is a book about trust - in yourself, your
companions, and humanity - about confidence, resilience and the
courage to stretch your limits. It is an ode to the power and the
solace of pilgrimage, to peace, disarmament and hospitality. It is
an adventure story that shows how travel can bring people together
in hope and help them understand one another. It demonstrates how
you don't always need money to see the world, just time and
patience. With conflict and war constantly in the news today, this
book is a timely testament not only to these pilgrims for peace,
but to the many people who cheered them on their way, seeing in
them the harbinger of a new peaceful future.

Filled with accessible practices that can be immediately put to use and profound revelations that take the reader on an incomparable journey, Rhonda’s discovery is reinforced throughout by the revelatory words of sages from around the world, past and present.

Flowers are found in magic traditions around the world, from
ancient Egypt, China, and India to the Norse and Native Americans.
Yet many of today’s well-established flower traditions--like
bridal bouquets--originated in the Druidic magical lore of Wales,
Ireland, and Scotland. As fifth-generation Druid Jon G. Hughes
explains, flowers hold a preeminent position in Druidic folk magic
with their own special branch of magical workings. In this
practical guide, Hughes details how to use flowers in magical
practice, focusing on flowering plants with a long history of
magical use going back to Druidic times yet many of which are
commonly found throughout the world such as buttercup, blackberry,
and dog rose. He discusses what type of flower and form of flower
magic is best for specific enchantments and rituals in the areas of
love and sex magic, healing and focusing, and protection. He looks
at the magical use of fresh flowers and provides detailed
instruction on every stage of the harvesting, crafting, and
practical use of flower magic potions, including a comprehensive
herbarium of all the flowers that may be used. Examining the
complex relationship between flowers and bees, the author looks at
the physical and spiritual gifts of bees, such as honey, propolis,
and bee’s wax, and the importance of bee culture in Druidic
flower magic, including the tradition of the honeymoon, the
significance of the hexagram, and medieval beekeeper lore. Inviting
you into the gentle yet powerful realm of Druidic flower magic, the
author also details how to plan, plant, and take care of your own
magical flower garden with all the botanicals you will need to
pursue the path of flower magic.
'A true tour de force. We're all a little messed up in our own
ways, but we should all strive to be as fabulously fearless as
Ruby' Fearne Cotton Dear Reader, Checking into a mental clinic
wasn't exactly on my radar in 2022. Writing about it wasn't either.
But here we are. I spent a lifetime trying to create a 'front' to
give everyone the illusion that all is well. It wasn't, and it
isn't. Now I look back and I think, 'what the f*ck was that all
about?' I began the book trying to find meaning by going on
various, life-changing journeys, I ended up in a mental clinic;
obviously things didn't work out the way I expected. This is the
story of what happened after the mental car crash . . . From then
on, the journey had to turn inward. It turns out I wasn't looking
for meaning, I was looking for home. I'm not a fiction writer. I
can't fake it. I could say I rode into the sunset, but life isn't
like that unless you're a cowboy. Truth is I'm not as well as I
thought I was. These days, trying to stay sane in a completely
chaotic world makes life incredibly difficult. For those readers
who are deep in the darkness of mental illness, I hope my book
makes you feel less alone. Take care, love, Ruby x

Since the dawn of time, magic is the node around which all human
activities and culture revolve. As magic entered the development of
science, art, philosophy, religion, myth, and psychology, it still
retained its essence: that we have a dynamic connection with all
other forms of life. Exploring the source magic that flows beneath
the surface of culture and occulture throughout the ages, Carl
Abrahamsson offers a "magical-anthropological" journey from ancient
Norse shamanism to the modern magick of occultists like Genesis
P-Orridge. He looks at how human beings relate to and are naturally
attracted to magic. He examines in depth the consequences of
magical practice and how the attraction to magic can be corrupted
by both religious organizations and occult societies. He shows how
the positive effects of magic are instinctively grasped by
children, who view the world as magical. The author looks at magic
and occulture as they relate to psychedelics, Witchcraft,
shamanism, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY), the panic rituals
of the Master Musicians of Joujouka in Morocco, psychological
individuation processes, literary "magical realism," and the cut-up
technique of Beat icons like William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin.
He explores the similarities in psychology between poet Ezra Pound
and magician Austin Osman Spare. He looks at the Scandinavian
Fenris Wolf as a mythic force and how personal pilgrimages can
greatly enrich our lives. He also examines the philosophy of German
author Ernst Junger, the magical techniques of British filmmaker
Derek Jarman, and the quintessential importance of accepting our
own mortality.
Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus
for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author
Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world
entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman,
Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don
Juan knew all along--that these plants are merely a means to
understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully
embrace on one's own. In "Journey to Ixtlan," Carlos Castaneda
introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and
explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final
voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is
like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own
terms.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the sixteenth emperor of Rome -- and
by far the most powerful and wealthy man in the world. Yet he was
also an intensely private person, with a rich interior life and
deep reservoirs of personal insight. He collected his thoughts in
notebooks, gems which have come to be called his Meditations. Never
intended for publication, the work survived his death and has
proved an inexhaustible source of wisdom and one of the most
important Stoic texts of all time. In often passionate language,
the entries range from essays to one-line aphorisms, and from
profundity to bitterness. Marcus wrote to console himself in the
face of the shortness of life, the shoddiness of the world, and the
challenges of being human. He asks the very same questions that
every thinking person must ask themselves today: Does the universe
have a moral purpose, and what is my role in it? What exactly is it
to be a good person, and how do I get there? Life is short: what
does that mean for me? How can I get to know myself better? Anyone
who is puzzled by such questions or searching for answers will
profit from this timeless book, which is both an important
historical document and a personal spiritual diary. This annotated
edition will be the definitive translation of this classic and
much-beloved text, with copious notes that will illuminate one of
the greatest works of popular philosophy for new readers and enrich
the understanding of even the most hardcore Stoic.
Since childhood, actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling
author Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt compelled to record and keep,
to collect and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a
fanciful habit with no clear goal. And then, when she became a
mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus.
Before she could help these brand-new souls figure out who they
were, she had to go back and understand who she was. Which parts of
life were worth keeping and which were meant to be discarded? What
legacy did she want to leave? She dug through attics and basements,
scouring journals, trunks of letters, spellbooks, and trinket
boxes, trying to answer the question, What inheritance can I give
these children that is true and loving and lasting? What will stay
with them when I am gone? As she searched for and collected this
patchwork inheritance to bequeath, she realized what she was doing
was creating a Grimoire. Perhaps the word brings to mind witches
harboring secrets, and that’s not far off. But a grimoire was the
tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. A woman would record
what she’d been taught as a child and add to it throughout her
lifetime. A grimoire was a guide to keep you alive. Like the
grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record
the things that have kept Hilarie alive, and just might help you
too: people, places, stories. And because it’s important to
infuse magic into daily life, Grimoire Girl also includes
bewitching illustrations and practical ways you can craft an altar,
use poetry spells, flower magic, and recipes for everyday
enchantment. There is magic in all of us. So, start your own look
inward and decide, What will make up your grimoire?Â
