Tenemos a nuestro alcance una oportunidad fundamental de felicidad
que por lo general desperdiciamos, ironicamente, por estar
atrapados en nuestros intentos por escapar del dolor y el
sufrimiento. Pema Chodron da un consejo compasivo y radical
extraido de la sabiduria budista para cuando todo se derrumba en
nuestras vidas, consejo que va a contrapelo de nuestras costumbres
y expectativas habituales. Solo hay una manera de encarar el
sufrimiento que proporcione beneficio duradero, nos ensena Pema: ir
hacia las situaciones dolorosas con cordialidad y curiosidad,
relajandonos en la insubstancialidad fundamental de toda nuestra
situacion. Es ahi, en medio del caos, que podemos descubrir la
verdad y el amor que son indestructibles.
El libro incluye:
- Modos de usar las emociones dolorosas para cultivar la sabiduria,
la compasion y la valentia
- Metodos de comunicacion que llevan a una verdadera apertura hacia
los demas y a una verdadera cercania
- Practicas para revertir patrones negativos habituales
- Tecnicas para trabajar con situaciones caoticas
- Herramientas para cultivar una accion social energica y compasiva
There is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right within
our reach, yet we usually miss it--ironically while we are caught
up in attempts to escape pain and suffering. Drawn from traditional
Buddhist wisdom, Pema Chodron's radical and compassionate advice
for what to do when things fall apart in our lives goes against the
grain of our usual habits and expectations. There is only one
approach to suffering that is of lasting benefit, Pema teaches, and
that approach involves moving toward painful situations with
friendliness and curiosity, relaxing into the essential
groundlessness of our entire situation. It is there, in the midst
of chaos, that we can discover the truth and love that are
indestructible.
Included in the book are:
- Ways to use painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and
courage
- Methods of communicating that lead to openness and true intimacy
with others
- Practices for reversing negative habitual patterns
- Techniques for working with chaotic situations
- Tools for cultivating compassionate, energetic social action
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 first of these books, Meditation Is Not What You
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.
This first book by insight meditation teacher and workshop leader
Gemma Polo Pujol is full of profoundly transformative teachings.
For many people, their path to meditation and dharma is through
suffering, and these short pieces are unequivocally aware of this
and offer an immediate sense of peace that many of us have thought
was not possible. You feel in safe hands - Gemma has trained for
decades within the great spiritual traditions and has taught for a
long time, including in her own retreat centre. She does not charge
for her teachings, continuing an ancient spiritual tradition of
dana, of making the teachings available to all and honouring that
which is priceless. Gemma has chosen ten headings in an order that
reflects the different stages of the spiritual journey. Chapters
range from The Call and Abiding In The Light to The Soul's Journey
and A Place of Presence. At the end of each chapter she offers a
practical exercise or meditation. This is one of the best books of
inspirational writings published for quite some time. There's an
incredible patient wisdom that runs through the words, born out of
years of experience in teaching and a deep experience of life.
Two renowned artists and teachers combine forces to offer a unique
oracle, with channeled art by Kimberly Webber spectacularly
depicting spirit animals, divine feminine archetypes, and sacred
geometry. Best-selling author Sandra Anne Taylor connects with the
divine energy of Kimberly's paintings to create an oracle guide
that taps into the wisdom of the natural and energetic worlds. This
oracle is a collaboration between two incredible healers and
teachers. Renowned artist Kimberly Webber channels divine energy to
create stunning depictions of spirit animals, divine feminine
archetypes, and sacred geometry. The unique lighting effect comes
from the rare minerals, crystals, and precious metals layered into
her original oil paintings, described as "modern magical realism
rooted in antiquity." Acclaimed oracle creator Sandra Anne Taylor
connected with Spirit and the energy within the art to create this
53-card deck that can be used for predictive purposes as well as a
tool for significant change in your inner realm, the outer
experiences you attract, and the world at large.
This book is an invitation to enter the Rose Garden: the sanctuary
of the soul that resides within every human heart. For the Rose is
one of the loveliest symbols of spirituality in the western world:
a timeless expression of beauty, love, and, ultimately, oneness
with the Divine. Each chapter will take you on a mystical journey
through myth, religion, sacred art and poetry, including the Rose
in the classical world, the medieval visions of Mary, the wisdom of
the Sufi mystics, the hidden codes of the Alchemists, the
ceremonies of 19th century magical orders, and the poems of modern
visionaries, along with rose windows, the Kabbalah, tarot cards and
more. Within the Rose Garden guided meditations offer gentle but
profound nourishment to the soul leading to a sense of inner peace
and a deeper connectedness with the essential Self through a
uniquely Western path. One reader affirms: 'I have travelled over a
long time down many different roads to heal myself from the wounds
I have suffered. However, Mara, it is your meditations that have
been so fruitful for me. The Fire of Roses meditation feels as if
on a deep level I have found and own myself with clarity and
light'.
