As lifelong meditators and mindfulness teachers, we confess we were almost embarrassed when we stumbled onto a 5-15 second shortcut to transcendence. This idea ran counter to everything we knew about meditation before we began our research. But, yes, it is possible. It only requires accessing the powerful emotion of awe in ordinary, everyday life. The changes in our lives have been profound, and after seeing the results repeated again and again in our thousands of patients, clients, and study participants, we've proven that our shortcut, coined the A.W.E. Method, works. -from the Preface Think about the last time you were truly in awe - perhaps on a walk or whilst watching a musician perform live - maybe you felt goosebumps or you lost your sense of time? Unbeknownst to you, some pretty incredible things were happening inside your body. Your fight-flight-freeze response became less active and activity decreased in your brain's default mode network, which is associated with both chronic pain and anxiety. Your interleukin-6 levels decreased, which can reduce chronic inflammation and lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. Being in awe can be beneficial to both your mind and body and now the AWE method provides a shortcut to all these benefits and is accessible to anyone, anywhere. ATTENTION (give your full focus to something), WAIT (take a deep breath and appreciate that thing), EXHALE and EXPAND (as you exhale slowly, allow your feelings to expand and grow). 5-15 seconds, two or three times a day - that's all! In this book you'll learn: - about the surprising and little known science of awe - how we unwittingly cut ourselves off from feeling awe - how AWE can enhance traditional mental health therapies - strategies for using AWE to improve relationships, alleviate existential anxiety and manage chronic pain - the different types of awe we can experience (sensorial, conceptual, and interconnected) - how to recognize and get good at experiencing each type of awe Learn how to microdose mindfulness through the power of AWE now.

The mysteries of the tarot and the legend of dragons come together in this stunning box set, including a full tarot deck and 64-page guidebook. Majestic in its power, the dragon in Western culture appears in myth and legend as the jealous guardian of a treasure hoard - epitomized by J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug, and seen more recently in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series. But that is not the whole story - dragons are complex creatures, and the beast is usually credited with cunning and often the power of speech - it is not just a brutal, terrifying monster. Although occasionally hostile, as when an earth dragon stirs and human cities crumble, there is no personal malice. Dragons simply operate by different laws that do not always place our interest at their centre. Understanding those laws and adapting to accommodate them is one path to wisdom. This is the spirit in which dragons inspire this tarot - tarot also operates by laws that are slightly beyond our conscious grasp, lifting the veil on the spiritual undercurrent of the worlds we inhabit. This traditional 78-card deck contains fire-breathing dragons, winged dragons of the air, sea serpents and earth dwellers who will reveal to you the secrets of the past, the possibilities of the present and all the potential of the future.
