The universe is alive with powerful, positive and loving energy -
energy that can help bring about all that you desire in your life.
The Law of Attraction states that thoughts, both conscious and
unconscious, can have powerful effects; the more positive your
thoughts, the more you attract positive energy. The steps to
harnessing this law are: first, to know what you want and ask the
universe for it; then, to believe and behave as if the object of
your desire is on its way; and finally, to be truly open to
receiving. This beautifully designed deck of 52 meditation cards
offers practical wisdom to help harness this abundance and bring it
into your life. The cards are divided into four suits, each focused
on an area of life - Love and Relationships; Career and Prosperity;
Creativity; and Spiritual Growth. Each suit features an inspiring
illustration inspired by the heavens and appropriate to that theme.
On the reverse you will find a key word to help bring each card
into focus along with a visualisation, meditation, exercise,
technique or inspiring quotation. With a wealth of inspirational
practices, this deck will be an essential companion for everyone
seeking abundance in their life.

meditations are an important tool for personal growth-and these

self-love. Whatever you're feeling in this moment, whether positive
or negative, this meditation reminds us that every expression of
ourselves is worthy of love. Journaling prompt: Let's cultivate a
little mindfulness and connect to the present moment. Take a few
breaths and close your eyes. How do you feel exactly in this
moment? What thoughts are going through your mind? How does your
body feel? Journal anything that comes up. Bonus exercise: Give
yourself a hug for at least 30 seconds. I know this might sound
strange, but it's a great way to self-soothe.

meditation instruction manual deeply rooted in the Indian Buddhist
"calming-and-insight" meditation tradition. Within its tradition,

Buddhist meditation instruction currently available in English. The
author of "The Essentials" is the sixth-century monk and meditation
master, Shramana Zhiyi (Chih-i), one of the most illustrious
figures in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Master Zhiyi is famous
for his role in the founding of the Tiantai teachings lineage and
for his authorship of a quartet of meditation manuals of which this
is one. The translator of this volume is the American monk, Bhikshu
Dharmamitra, a translator of numerous classic works from the Indian
and Chinese Buddhist traditions.

Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of
thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share
the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware
that they are aware. Most people's lives consist of a flow of
thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and
so on. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of
thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my
experience?" The knowing of our being-or rather, awareness's
knowing of its own being in us-is our primary experience, our most
fundamental and intimate experience. It is in this experience that
all the peace, happiness, and love we have ever longed for reside.
The happiness we have sought for so long outside of ourselves, in
situations, objects, and relationships, turns out to be always
present, always available, in the simple knowing of our own being
as it is. The knowing of our own being shines in each one of us as
the experience "I am" or "I am aware," or simply as the thought
"I." Because this simplest, most obvious, most familiar, and
intimate experience is to the mind not a thing, or nothing, it is
overlooked or forgotten by the vast majority of humanity. The
overlooking of our own being is the root cause of all unhappiness
and, therefore, the root cause of our search for happiness. What is
the nature of this experience of being aware? The contemplations in
this collection will lead readers toward their own experiential
understanding of that which we all call "I." Being Aware of Being
Aware is the first and introductory volume in the Essence of
Meditation series of collected meditations on the fundamentals of
non-duality. Each volume will include six essays, compiled from
contemplations led by Rupert Spira at retreats. Future titles
include The Nature of Mind, I Am, and The Nature of Happiness.
Music CD in a Digipack which includes a 12-page booklet which
provides information about the musicians, their philosophy and
their instruments! All music on this audio CD is by Trancepilots.
Music for chilling out, cool relaxing sounds for meditation, yoga,
massage, travelling, easy listening. The 'Trancepilots' are two
German jazz and world musicians Jerry Cosmo and Luigi Campala.
Their music is a successful blend of diverse influences and musical
styles from around the world. Alongside classical Western
instruments, a variety of Asian and African percussion instruments
also repeatedly enliven their music. Their wonderful sounds build a
bridge between the long, airy arcs of meditative music and earthy,
body-related rhythms. This juxtaposition of medial consciousness
and grounded energy lets listeners experience the exchange in both
directions. Running time 77, minutes 40 seconds.
