"This is a way of putting my life out there, because if I were to
write a memoir, there'd be five volumes before I got to The
Beatles. So I'm going at it this way, through photographs and
quotes. And this is, I feel, a better way for me to do it." - Ringo
Starr "Ringo's picture book, Ringo in book form. The essence of
Ringo." - David Lynch Another Day In The Life is introduced and
narrated by Ringo Starr, with forewords by legendary movie director
David Lynch and rock photographer Henry Diltz. Ringo shows us the
world as seen through a Starr's eyes, in more than 500
observational photographs and rare images from the archives, and an
original text of nearly 13,000 words. From Los Angeles to Tokyo and
everywhere in between, Ringo's photographs celebrate his life in
music and offer a glimpse behind the scenes. Many are taken during
historic events, such as Ringo's acceptance of a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award and his return to New York's Plaza Hotel, 50
years after The Beatles first visited the USA. Another Day In The
Life, Ringo Starr's 184-page monograph featuring Paul McCartney,
Joe Walsh and a host of All-Starr friends, is captioned throughout
with an original commentary. Meditative, witty and always engaging,
Ringo reflects on a legendary life in music. RINGOBOOK.COM

More than twenty years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we
thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic
introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. He
followed that up with 2005's Coming to Our Senses, the definitive
book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our
well-being on every level, physical, cognitive, emotional, social,
planetary, and spiritual. Now, Coming to Our Senses is being
repackaged into 4 smaller books, each focusing on a different
aspect of mindfulness, and each with a new foreword written by the
author. In the third of these books, The Healing Power of
Mindfulness (which was originally published as Part V and Part VI
of Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on the ways
mindfulness can change the body and rewire the mind--explaining
what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, how
meditation can affect the immune system, and what mindfulness can
teach us about facing impermanence and, eventually, the end of our
own lives. By "coming to our senses"--both literally and
metaphorically--we can become more compassionate, more embodied,
more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the
healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both
little and big.
If there is an overriding philosophy that Ora Nadrich ascribes to,
it is this: you can help yourself solve your own problems, you can
do it daily, and the process doesn t need to be complex. Flying in
the face of the often oblique language of the self help movement,
Ora, a certified life coach with a thriving practice in Los
Angeles, prides herself on not only having devised a method of self
discovery and mindful practice that is simple, direct and
applicable to everyone, but is also easy to understand and put to
use. And, like brushing your teeth, can be done daily and take
about as much time. Simplicity is her mantra.
This award-winning book was streamlined to accommodate a child's
perspective. The child is given highly imaginative techniques that
allow him or her to experiment with a friendly companion called the
Light. In an easy-to-follow recitative style with a pictorial
format, the book helps all kids to unearth a veritable wealth of
kindly benefits, and to uncover the spontaneous joys that naturally
accompany such an imaginative approach to creative contemplation. A
CD is included; appropriate for children five to twelve years of
age.
The universe is alive with powerful, positive and loving energy -
energy that can help bring about all that you desire in your life.
The Law of Attraction states that thoughts, both conscious and
unconscious, can have powerful effects; the more positive your
thoughts, the more you attract positive energy. The steps to
harnessing this law are: first, to know what you want and ask the
universe for it; then, to believe and behave as if the object of
your desire is on its way; and finally, to be truly open to
receiving. This beautifully designed deck of 52 meditation cards
offers practical wisdom to help harness this abundance and bring it
into your life. The cards are divided into four suits, each focused
on an area of life - Love and Relationships; Career and Prosperity;
Creativity; and Spiritual Growth. Each suit features an inspiring
illustration inspired by the heavens and appropriate to that theme.
On the reverse you will find a key word to help bring each card
into focus along with a visualisation, meditation, exercise,
technique or inspiring quotation. With a wealth of inspirational
practices, this deck will be an essential companion for everyone
seeking abundance in their life.
Mindfulness and Surfing casts a fresh perspective on this popular
sport, and explores how riding the waves can be the ultimate
meditation. Engaging author Sam Bleakley takes us on a soulful
journey across the tideline of his personal and philosophical
travels. Through lunar cycles and river surfing to the Taoism of
nature, he reveals an acute awareness of what the oceans can tell
us about our place in the natural world. Meditating on one of
nature' s greatest elements - its salty swells, flow and peaks - he
shares life lessons in mindfulness that will be relished by surfer
and non-surfer alike.

Think (which was originally published as Part I and Part II of
Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on the "what" and the
"why" of mindfulness--explaining why meditation is not for the
"faint-hearted," how meditation can actually be a radical act of
love, and why paying attention is so supremely important. By
"coming to our senses"--both literally and metaphorically--we can
become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings,
and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic
as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Did you know that dreams about houses symbolise exploration of the
self. And that water symbolises fertility, creativity and
potential. Dreams provide vital clues to hidden feelings, fears and
desires; understanding your dreams can lead to greater
self-awareness and self-healing. Each image that appears in a dream
has a meaning and The Dream Dictionary is an invaluable, detailed
guide to decoding these meanings. The book introduces the classic
theories of Freud and Jung, to more recent ideas on dream analysis,
it provides a wealth of background information on the study of
dreams and on the images examined in the dictionary section. From
abandonment to zodiacal signs, the comprehensive dictionary has
more than 700 entries. Each entry gives a range of possible
interpretations for a particular dream symbol, allowing you wide
scope for deciphering your dream and for assessing its
implications. Cross-referencing throughout, the dictionary allows
you to examine all aspects of individual symbols.
More and more we rely on digital connection to fulfil our needs. Skype and FaceTime have taken place of meetings; digital devices are used to entertain children instead of playing with them; non-urgent emails and texts are read and responded to whilst in the company of others, lessening personal connections.
Through 100 simple tips, including self-help assessments, step-by-step programmes and rebalancing techniques, this essential guide shows you how technology can still play a useful and rewarding role in your life, but not at the expense of personal relationships and mental health.
