Spells features 52 of these inspiring deities, all

The sutras of the great sage Patanjali, which together constitute a
landmark text in yoga spiritualism, are available here in this
classic translation by theosophic scholar Charles Johnson.
Historically the most translated of all ancient Indian texts,
Patanjali's sutras since the beginning of the 20th century enjoyed
audiences within and outside India. The translator Charles Johnson
was one of Ireland's celebrated theosophists, with a great interest
in the religious and philosophical texts of old. This edition
originally appeared in 1912, and introduced yoga to Western
audiences. The sutras explain the tenets of various yoga, and how
the yogi is able to absorb energy and strengthen thereby. The means
of gradually attaining a serene mental state known as Kaivalya as a
precursor to the blissfulness of samadhi is detailed. The constant
practice and disciplined honing of the bodily senses, and the
differing forms of yoga used to achieve a state of perfection in
each pillar of the practice.
A different and exciting form of self-care in the form of practical
mind to body self-regulation. In the challenging times of the 21st
century, looking after oneself and navigating the bumps in the road
has become more difficult than ever. However, this fascinating
book, written by two psychotherapists with many years of
experience, provides a simple and reliable means of restoring the
balance which is vital for the robust body mind system we need if
we are to be able to bounce back from adverse experiences. It is
this balance (homeostasis) that provides us with the highway to
wellbeing and it is our body mind system’s innate capacity to
self regulate which is at the core of this book. Using six key
Autogenic Training exercises, the authors provide readers with the
skillset to self regulate at any time or any place. These exercises
target activating the parasympathetic nervous system and involve
body scans, bodily awareness and respiratory and muscular
relaxation.
Telementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of
our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the
law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is
virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognised by
shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate
power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. This is a
short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction
with great ease and productivity, by directing one's inner feelings
in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated
due to their great efforts and poor results. In "Telementation",
this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and
the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and
dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution
in one's life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings
a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical
inner peace. "Telementation" is also particularly productive for
those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist
meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had
trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience
through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by
conventional methods.

Learn how to enjoy Life's gifts with this journal packed with Louise
Hay's affirmations and motivational exercises on self-love, joy and
living in gratitude.
'Life is very simple: What we give out, we get back. The Universe
always gives us what we believe we deserve. No matter what the problem
seems to be, there is really only one solution, and that is loving the
self. Love is the miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our
lives. Gratitude is key to all of this.' Louise Hay
Louise Hay lived gratitude every minute of every day, which is the
motivation for this journal. She had a true 'attitude of gratitude' as
she liked to call it, but she would be the first to say that she was
not unique - we all have the capacity to enjoy Life's gifts.
This journal collects many of Louise's writings on grateful living
along with time-honoured exercises, such as how to craft your own
affirmations, do mirror work, effectively visualize, forgive and
release, heal dis-ease, recognize the inner child and express
appreciation every day. As you learn to count your many blessings, may
you see that your life itself is a blessing.
Mind, Value, and Cosmos: On the Relational Nature of Ultimacy is an
investigation into the nature of ultimacy and explanation,
particularly as it relates to the status of, and relationship
between, Mind, Value, and the Cosmos. It draws its stimulus from
longstanding "axianoetic" convictions as to the ultimate status of
Mind and Value in the western tradition of philosophical theology,
and chiefly from the influential modern proposals of A.N.
Whitehead, Keith Ward, and John Leslie. What emerges is a
relational theory of ultimacy wherein Mind and Value, Possibility
and Actuality, God and the World are revealed as "ultimate" only in
virtue of their relationality. The ultimacy of relationality-what
Whitehead calls "mutual immanence"-uniquely illuminates enduring
mysteries surrounding: any and all existence, necessary divine
existence, the nature of the possible, and the world as actual. As
such, it casts fresh light upon the whence and why of God, the
World, and their ultimate presuppositions.

Like millions of us, Anjali Kumar, a lawyer for Google, was not religious. But when her daughter was born, Anjali felt compelled to find God-or at least some form of enlightenment-that she could someday impart to her daughter.
Knowing that she couldn't simply Google an answer to What is the meaning of life?, Anjali set out on a spiritual pilgrimage, and nothing was off limits. She headed to Peru to learn from shamans, practiced transcendental meditation, convened with angels, and even worked with a medium to speak with the dead-all while searching for answers to life's most universal questions: Why are we here? What happens when we die? Is there a God?
