Sample ways to find happiness from around the world and discover
tips on how to adopt these philosophies at home. Wherever we are in
the world, as humans we're all striving for happiness--a feeling of
wellbeing and calm amidst the everyday struggles and chaos. What
differs is how we pursue that happiness, and there are a range of
philosophies on offer around the globe. From searching for ikigai
(the 'meaning of life') in Japan or taking a fika coffee break in
Sweden, to heading for the hills to clear the mind in Norway or
appreciating the art of gezellig ('coziness') in the Netherlands,
the world is a tapestry of happiness philosophies we can sample and
learn from. This book features 20 philosophies together with
gorgeous illustrations. Each chapter includes an overview of that
philosophy, where it originates from, its meaning to that culture,
and ways to implement the philosophy in your everyday life at home.
There's also information on places you can travel to experience the
philosophy a little deeper, and interviews with people who very
much practice what they preach, all wrapped up in a beautiful
package.

Mantra is not a scary word. Nor is reciting mantra impractical. An
important and essential part of most every eastern spiritual
practice, it's an easy, accessible tool that anyone can use. Akin
to singing in the shower, it can be done whenever it suits you, on
your own, and no matter what kind of voice you are working with.
Audiences who come to see Alanna Kaivalya at concerts across the
country listen in rapt attention at her telling of the mythology
and the chanting of the chant and she finds that practitioners love
both aspects equally. All spiritual practitioners seek to know
themselves better, and Alanna shows that both of these tools are
interrelated and important elements of the practitioner's personal
development. This book will allow all lovers of myth and mantra to
explore further the power contained within this practice.
A book that imparts a sense of safety and serenity in a world that
seems increasingly scary and dangerous. Each of the ten sections
have ten to fifteen meditations. Those ten points of focus are:
re-greening arid places; embodying heart energy; nourishing our
souls; intertwining soul-strands; honouring sacred rights and
responsibilities; creating spiritual touchstones; awakening to
wisdom; enrolling in saint's school; ascending to gratitude;
embracing angels and other emissaries. This is an inspirational
pick-me-up for women, meant to be read over and over again
throughout the course of a year.
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.

Many of us live on autopilot, often so guarded that we don't
experience the potential richness that life has to offer. How can
we find real happiness amidst the chaos, where we don't reach our
life's end and feel we missed out? In Stop Missing Your Life,
mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the
heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness.
He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than
a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just
for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true
Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about
a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers
of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and
integrated selves in the world. Muscara shows how we build internal
walls, what he describes as a "Pain Box" inhibiting us from living
a deeply connected and meaningful life. He offers a four-part FACE
model (Focus, Allow, Curiosity, and Embodiment) that helps chip
away at those walls and builds our capacity to experience the
richness of our lives. Stop Missing Your Life ultimately teaches
how we can find peace in the chaos and become better people for our
family, our communities, and our world.

Brandon Bays leads you on this challenging journey with daily
meditations and contemplations to draw you ever deeper into an
awareness of this awesome power. As your awareness grows, your own
wisdom will reveal itself and you will be able to live in the deep
