What is the place of discontent and unhappiness in human experience
and how best can we be with it? There is something about everything
that makes it not quite satisfactory. Even things we really love
are spoilt by not being quite enough or by going on too long.
People entering psychotherapy want to feel better - more
authoritative, less anxious or depressed, more whole - and although
it can help, an enormous amount of difficult and painful emotions
continue to arise. Even after years and years of therapy many of us
feel that there is no 'happy ever after'. Bearing this reality in
mind and drawing upon both psychotherapeutic and Buddhist sources,
Present with Suffering, explores bereavement and our pervasive
experience of emptiness. With a foreword from Henry Shukman, the
authors show how through being mindfully present, kind and
accepting, we may enfold what hurts us in a more spacious and
meaningful way.
In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of mindfulness. Once we have these skills, we can slow our lives down and discover how to live in the moment - even simple acts like washing the dishes or drinking a cup of tea may be transformed into acts of meditation.
Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle anecdotes and practical exercises help us to arrive at greater self-understanding and peacefulness, whether we are beginners or advanced students.
Irrespective of our particular religious beliefs, we can begin to reap the immense benefits that meditation has been scientifically proven to offer. We can all learn how to be mindful and experience the miracle of mindfulness for ourselves.
Although the energetic anatomy of men and women is different, the
ancient teachings of Nu Dan, a separate branch of internal alchemy
for women, have been lost in the literature over the centuries and
only survive through practice in the lineages. This book takes a
detailed look at female energetic anatomy, exploring how it is
different from its male counterpart, and explains and describes the
specific practices which support the unique strengths and
challenges that the female energy system presents. Previously
wrapped in secrecy, the teachings in this book include qigong
exercises that activate the energy of the uterus and an explanation
of how menstruation and a connection to the cycles of the moon can
be converted into a tool for Nei Gong development.

Journey on the path of self-discovery through the magic of
crystals. Whether you need the power to help you with your home,
health or happiness, this book contains the guidance, advice and
rituals you need to be in sync with your spirituality. The beauty
and uniqueness of crystals and other stones have long been
recognized for their mystic influence in our day-to-day lives.
Historically, people used them for trade and jewellery and, even in
modern times, we use them to create new and wonderous technologies.
They are the product of natural energy derived from cosmic and
geological forces including stars, the sun and intense heat and
pressure from the Earth, so it makes sense to recycle this
potential. The Magic of Crystals explores how you can unlock this
potent vitality with practical advice on what crystals you will
need to enhance particular characteristics in your home, how to
combine their energy with feng shui to create happiness and
harmony, how to relieve spiritual blockages in your chakras plus
much, much more. There are also quick reference pages that give
advice on how to solve common problems.
More and more we rely on digital connection to fulfil our needs. Skype and FaceTime have taken place of meetings; digital devices are used to entertain children instead of playing with them; non-urgent emails and texts are read and responded to whilst in the company of others, lessening personal connections.
Through 100 simple tips, including self-help assessments, step-by-step programmes and rebalancing techniques, this essential guide shows you how technology can still play a useful and rewarding role in your life, but not at the expense of personal relationships and mental health.
