Learn how the meditative practice of knitting can evolve into a
spiritual discipline. One third (53 million) of American women know
how to knit, and knitting is becoming increasingly popular with men
as well. Many of these knitters belong to social knitting circles,
charity knitting groups, or knit with others in churches, cafes-and
even in bars! This book shows how knitting creates connections and
communities, and ties the repetition of knitting to the consistent
recitation of prayer. It also compares the act of knitting to the
spiritual journey, from starting something new to how we handle
mistakes. Many people would like to incorporate a spiritual
practice into their frenetic lives only to become discouraged and
give up when they try. Those who knit are able to experience its
calming effects and dedicate time to their craft each day.

Just what the world needs right now." Richard Carlson, author of

and use our coping skills. Stopping is a gift to yourself. Knowing

surroundings helps give you a fresh perspective and an inner
balance meant to help you feel in control of the bigger things. Who
are you? What are your true priorities? Your responsibilities may

potential. Dr. Kundtz gives you insight into key questions you
should be asking. Stop whatever you're doing and enjoy the sunrise.

the happiness in remembering who you are. With this valuable guide

Less Traveled, then you'll love The Art of Stopping.
Getting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an
inevitable part of life. But Eknath Easwaran, a world-famous
spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years, shows
a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can result in a
strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure
personality and a resilient, loving mind. Best of all, these
opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during
meditation but throughout the day. Whether working with difficult
colleagues, going out to eat, or responding to a child's needs,
readers learn how to try out different, wiser choices. With humor
and empathy, Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and
other mystics into contemporary scenes -- watching a juggler on the
street, taking a tennis lesson, going to the theater. Training the
mind is life's biggest adventure, and Conquest of Mind shows how
this practice brings deepening relationships, increasing vitality,
and a greater sense of purpose.
Every human soul is divine and valuable. An embodied being's
ultimate purpose is the enjoyment of Supreme bliss as a free soul
(Mukta, salvation, liberation) in the highest heaven. Enjoyment is
also the basis of happiness upon earth. It leads to the spiritual
enlightenment for happy, healthy, and peaceful life and
environment. The knowledge of self is what leads to the knowledge
of God and this knowledge is the road to eternal happiness or
bliss. Real happiness cannot be found externally, it must be
realized within. The soul of a man is in the hidden structure of
God. He is inside all of us. All life comes from God. The causes of
unhappiness are our ego, our prejudice, our desire, and our
impropriety. There must not be any lust and hatred, neither longing
for one thing, nor any loathing the opposite. The world is
spiraling toward conflict, belligerence, and disharmony and is now
going through an unprecedented spiritual crisis, class
confrontation, calamity, and nuclear and terrorists' threats. The
rise of drug use, the rise of broken families, the rise of the
number of single parents, the rise of school and public space mass
shootings, the rise of suicides and depression, the rise of sexual
scandals among priests and media, rise of overuse of iPad and
smartphones by young kids are all threatening our home, society,
schools, and the environment with vicious violence, menacing
insecurity, wild protests, and rampant immorality.
