In spiritual teacher Osho's Aspects of Meditation Book 4: Medicine
and Meditation, you'll discover a deeper understanding of
meditation through an investigation into the subtle workings of the
mind, focusing on questions of health and illness. The West has
taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We
concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of
mantras. We have undertaken to "do" meditation. The Aspects of
Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which
Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently
or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding
the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 4, Osho examines health
and illness, disease and well-being as outgrowths of our sense of
self and connection to our mind.

The New York Times bestselling book that both galvanizes
progressives for action and is a balm--from the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author "A light in darkness, Alice Walker awakens us
to our own power as only she can. . . . Once again, Walker has
exceeded our expectations." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution When
the United States recently exploded with unprecedented
demonstrations challenging racial violence and hatred, Alice
Walker's New York Times bestselling We Are the Ones We Have Been
Waiting For was one of the books to which people turned for
inspiration and solace. Called "stunningly insightful" and "a book
that will inspire hope" by Publishers Weekly, this work by the
author of The Color Purple is a clarion call to activism--spiritual
ruminations with a progressive political edge, that offer a moment
of care and solace. Walker encourages readers to take faith in the
fact that, despite our daunting predicaments, we are uniquely
prepared to create positive change. Drawing on Walker's spiritual
grounding and her progressive political convictions, the book
offers a cornucopia of the Pulitzer Prize winner's writings and
speeches on advocacy, struggle, and hope. Each chapter concludes
with a recommended meditation to teach patience, compassion, and
forgiveness. Walker's clear vision and calm meditative voice--truly
"a light in darkness"--has struck a deep chord among a large and
devoted readership.

Journey into the world of Ayahuasca and healing. A mysterious and
powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a tea
during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change
people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience
practiced only by Indigenous South Americans - and sought out by
the adventurous few - has, in the past fifty years, become
increasingly popular around the world. Hachumak, a Peruvian
medicine man, has been practicing traditional healing arts in his
country for more than twenty years. His unique approach is based on
ritualistic simplicity and highlights the essence of the Art, which
includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this remarkable book,
he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our
understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse
and exploitation. Whether you are among the uninitiated and
curious, or a seasoned journeyer, you will gain a deeper
understanding of what shamanism is and how and why it works, as
well as its possibilities and limitations. Hachumak reveals his own
path to becoming a shaman and explains how a well-crafted Ayahuasca
ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero. He describes
in detail what to expect - both physically and psychologically -
while under the guidance of the sacred plants. With Hachumak as our
experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the Invisible
offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the world
around us.
You can do it. You can change your life for the better—and the best
part is that you already have the tools within you to do so!
In this concise yet information-packed book—which you can download the
audio from the included link and listen to or read at your
leisure—bestselling author Louise L. Hay shows you that you "can do
it"—that is, change and improve virtually every aspect of your life—by
understanding and using affirmations correctly.
Louise explains that every thought you think and every word you speak
is an affirmation. Even your self-talk, your internal dialogue, is a
stream of affirmations. You’re affirming and creating your life
experiences with every word and thought. Your beliefs are merely
habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child, and many of
them work very well for you. But other beliefs may be limiting your
ability to create the very things you say you want. You need to pay
attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones
creating experiences that you don’t want.
As Louise discusses topics such as health, forgiveness, prosperity,
creativity, relationships, job success, and self-esteem, you’ll see
that affirmations are solutions that will replace whatever problem you
might have in a particular area.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to say "I can do it" with
confidence, knowing that you’re on your way to the wonderful,
joy-filled life you deserve.
