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."
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.
