From the Foreword by Alan Cohen:
"The lessons here in Mastering Life keep pointing us back to the
simplicity of loving. We find ourselves in a world where complexity
seems to pull us from joy at every turn. Simply holding the
consciousness of love will open doors that anxious striving cannot.
Behold the answer that sooths, heals, uplifts and changes the
world, beginning with ourselves.
"Take your time as you stroll through these insightful pages.
Absorb the words and images and make them your own. While they seem
to be teaching you, they are really reminding you of what you know
deep inside your heart. Then bring the principles to life in your
own unique way and enjoy the blessings they deliver."
"Keys To Spiritual Being" is a two-part manual of meditation
exercises designed to give the individual the ability to come to a
higher state of spiritual awareness and development. The first
book-"Energy Meditation," presents the premise that one begins a
transformational process through the infusion of biopsychic energy.
Through the application of Ravarour's Energy Meditation exercises,
one activates and magnifies the biopsychic energy potential within
the individual; coming to an inner path of higher consciousness
eventually leading to transformation through one's own sensorial
awareness and growth. The second book-"Synchronization Exercises,"
presents a series of exercises which when practiced enables couples
the ability to unite at the deepest levels of spirit, mind, and
being. These exercises allow the advanced practitioner to
synchronize the various chakras within the body with his or her
mate, thus being able to co-create a harmonization between each
other-a unity of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Originally created
by Adrian Ravarour, Ph. D. in the 1960's, this new and revised text
provides the necessary instruction on how to focus one's energy to
activate the intuition, initiate an internal dialogue with the mind
and spirit, and stimulate transformation in the self and each
other-a unification of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Visionary
philosopher and author Dr, Jose Arguelles-Valum Votan writes that
"the purpose of Ravarour's Energy Meditation / Biopsychic Energy
Exercises is for you-the individual, to be able to channel and
recognize the biopsychic energy emitted by your organism. The value
of these exercises is that they are practical and anyone can do
them."
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST SPIRITUAL BOOKS OF 2021 BY SPIRITUALITY &
PRACTICE Bearing witness to the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
When New York City went into lockdown in March 2020, spiritual
leader Micah Bucey found the world and himself in desperate need of
prayer. While social distancing created disconnect, Bucey began a
daily practice of writing a "Tiny Prayer" each morning and posting
it on social media, each offering a reflection on what was going on
in his own heart and in the wider world. Soon, a solitary practice
became a communal one, with others engaging and sharing the prayers
that touched them most, suggesting issues and topics for future
prayers, and creating connection across a digital divide. Over the
course of a year filled with fear and faith, protest and
possibility, Bucey composed prayers for frontline workers and
activists, those lost to illness and wins for democracy, for civic
leaders, celebrities, and everyday emotions. While overwhelm
threatened to engulf us all, these short meditations invited a
combination of attention and intention in bite-sized form that
aided the reader in focusing on one issue at a time, from the rise
of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, to police violence,
social justice uprisings, immigrant detentions, catastrophic
climate events, mass shootings, and violent right-wing
insurrections. Now, all 366 "Tiny Prayers" are collected here,
together forming a chronicle of a specific moment in time and
modeling a form for everyone to compose their own tiny prayers to
engage the everyday around them. The Book of Tiny Prayer recalls a
very particular year, but its spirit is universal, inviting all to
quiet themselves, name the pain and the joy around them, and
recommit to the change required for collective liberation, during
the worst times and far beyond.
The world is filled with stress, pains, miseries, sickness, and
death. The hustle and bustle of modern life does not bring peace.
But practicing yogic meditation has the ability to bring silence
and peace of mind into your life. In Your Window to Silence and
Peace, author Dr. S. K. Babooa provides a guide to yogic mediation
to help you achieve harmonious equilibrium in life's physical,
mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual spheres.
Your Window to Silence and Peace contains gems of knowledge for
attaining peace. It provides an in-depth analysis of the mind,
discusses how everything of the body originates from the mind, and
focuses on the correlation between the mind and thought. Babooa
presents the basics of the charkas-smuladhara, swadhistan,
manipura, anahat, vishuddha, ajna, and sahasrara-and offers a
detailed, practical journey of yogic meditation.
Babooa demonstrates the ways in which yogic meditation can
unravel the treasure house that is the human mind. He stresses the
importance and power of silence and communicates that you can open
the window of silence through yogic meditation and attain
everlasting peace in this modern world.
Designed as an experiential journey, Beyond Core views wholeness as
a portal to a new understanding of embodiment. To experience
embodiment as an always-in-process event, we must nurture ways of
being and moving that evoke the body, mind, emotions and spirit's
fluid and dynamic qualities; and draw on a wide-range of movement,
perceptual approaches and philosophies that speak to the wholeness
of who we are. This book brings that journey to life, empowering
readers to enrich their perceptual awareness of their living
architecture and the foundational principles that bridge movement
and bodywork disciplines. What is the difference between a
biomechanical and a biointelligent approach to movement and
bodywork? To what extent does our approach to movement and
interaction with gravity shape our way of being in the world? How
do we become active listeners for our body's innate wisdom? In
Beyond Core, Wendy LeBlanc-Arbuckle guides us toward new answers
for these questions and more. She shows us how we can understand,
and activate, an embodied approach to movement and life as the
central component of our "becoming" as living beings on this
planet. Drawing on over 40 years of experience, LeBlanc-Arbuckle
weaves together principles of yoga, Pilates, Somatics, Structural
Integration, myofascial release bodywork and more to reveal the
pathways of our bodies' multiple relationships. The authors'
Insights from the fields of embryology, Somatics and biotensegrity
help us discover our interoceptive nature and our body's fluid,
helical, resilient capacities. Here, concepts of core as a muscular
center give way to a philosophy of core as a relationship with
gravity, our environment, and each other. The book's chapters
include deep-dives into embryology, phenomenology, relational
thinking and moving, and embodied breathwork and movement. These
explorations demonstrate rich theoretical and practical insight as
well as nuances of self-care practices. Rich in current thinking,
and in the power of personal story, Beyond Core ultimately invites
you, the reader, to explore new layers of personal and professional
growth.
