the cleansing bath is not just for the sweat and dirt of your skin,
but it's a spiritual purification as well. Think of it as cleansing
your spirit, energy, or aura. The most important part of the ritual
bath is what you bring to it yourself: your magic. Imagine clearing
out stagnant energy from your body, washing off the energy of
others, and emerging fresh from the ritual. How will you
intentionally cultivate your thoughts and goals while engaging in
this mindfulness practice? For Winter This is the time of year

Louise Hay's charming and valuable treasure trove of inner wisdom
that can guide you through any problem you might be facing. Tap
into the power of your Inner Self and discover your capability to
change with Heart Thoughts, a collection of meditations, spiritual
treatments and excerpts from the lectures of internationally
renowned spiritual teacher Louise Hay. Organized into 96 topics
from A (abundance) to W (world community), this book can be read
straight through, or you can allow Spirit to guide you to the page
you need, as with an oracle or daily devotional. Louise's powerful
messages are accompanied by striking fuchsia illustrations by Katie
Daisy, including stylized affirmations for each topic. This is a
time of awakening. As you release old thought patterns and old
habits, know that you are always safe. As you continue to learn and
practice new beliefs and new methods of behaviour, you contribute
to improving the quality of your life - and the new harmonious
order of the world. 'Life is very simple. We create our experiences
by our thinking and feeling patterns. What we believe about
ourselves and about Life becomes true for us. By becoming aware of
our beliefs, we can change those that are not serving us. Gentle,
firm insistence and consistency in what we choose to think will
make positive changes manifest quickly and easily.' Louise Hay
IT TAKES JUST TEN MINUTES a day train your mind - you will feel
more awake, more alive and more creative. Using these carefully
researched exercises you can increase your attention span, realise
your potential and use your mind to its full capacity. Yes, just
ten...short ... minutes. Nearly half of our waking hours are spent
thinking about something other than what we are doing. We are only
aware of a tiny fraction of what we are thinking, feeling and
sensing - so we're barely conscious of how and why we behave the
way we do. This book sets out to help you get your mind out of
automatic more often. The human mind is an extraordinary thing. It
determines the way we experience and respond to whatever life
throws at us. Yet most of us live as though we have no control over
our minds. This is simply not true. If we want to change our lives
in any way, the most effective way to do that is to change the way
our mind is shaped - the way in which we interpret and respond to
everyday events as well as to our own thoughts and feelings. Mind
Time contains simple, clear exercises that take only ten minutes
per day and our research tells us that if you do these exercises,
your life will change. The exercises build three core capacities -
curiosity, self-awareness and acceptance. If you do them, and build
these capacities, you will become less reactive and more
responsive. This will lead to positive benefits in several key
areas: your relationships, your ability to deal with unexpected
events and your capacity to stay purposeful and to see your life as
a matter of choices rather than seemingly impossible challenges.
Just set aside ten minutes each day to engage in a few simple
practices, then after a short while you will start to see a
transformation for the better. That's our promise to you. Isn't it
time we learned to shape our minds - not be shaped by them?

Seekers may choose to work with the cards in order, to select one a
week for a year, or to identify one card for intensive study. The
accompanying booklet offers broader insight into ascension in
general.

In a time of social distancing and isolation, a meditation on the
beauty of solitude from renowned Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor
A Los Angeles Review of Books "Best of the Year" selection
"Whatever a soul is, the author goes a long way toward soothing it.
A very welcome instance of philosophy that can help readers live a
good life."-Kirkus Reviews "Elegant and formally ingenious."-Geoff
Wisner, Wall Street Journal When world renowned Buddhist writer
Stephen Batchelor turned sixty, he took a sabbatical from his
teaching and turned his attention to solitude, a practice integral
to the meditative traditions he has long studied and taught. He
aimed to venture more deeply into solitude, discovering its full
extent and depth. This beautiful literary collage documents his
multifaceted explorations. Spending time in remote places,
appreciating and making art, practicing meditation and
participating in retreats, drinking peyote and ayahuasca, and
training himself to keep an open, questioning mind have all
contributed to Batchelor's ability to be simultaneously alone and
at ease. Mixed in with his personal narrative are inspiring stories
from solitude's devoted practitioners, from the Buddha to
Montaigne, from Vermeer to Agnes Martin. In a hyperconnected world
that is at the same time plagued by social isolation, this book
shows how to enjoy the inescapable solitude that is at the heart of
human life.

Interest in mindfulness has been booming in recent decades, but a
lot of misconceptions have grown up around this ancient practice,
some of which can cause serious harm. In this book, clinical
psychologist, researcher, and Zen master Dr. Richard Sears
carefully separates the myths from the facts. He explores myths
about the origins of mindfulness, what mindfulness is, how it is
similar to and different from other techniques, the practice of
mindfulness, its magical and mystical effects, mindfulness and
mental and physical health, and about using mindfulness in daily
life. Far more than just debunking myths, Dr. Sears points out the
profound ways that mindfulness can help us move through our
struggles and enrich our lives with inspiring stories and practical
tips. The realities of mindfulness are so much more fascinating
than the myths.
Learn how to enjoy Life's gifts with this journal packed with
Louise Hay's affirmations and motivational exercises on self-love,
joy and living in gratitude. 'Life is very simple: What we give
out, we get back. The Universe always gives us what we believe we
deserve. No matter what the problem seems to be, there is really
only one solution, and that is loving the self. Love is the miracle
cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. Gratitude is
key to all of this.' Louise Hay Louise Hay lived gratitude every
minute of every day, which is the motivation for this journal. She
had a true 'attitude of gratitude' as she liked to call it, but she
would be the first to say that she was not unique - we all have the
capacity to enjoy Life's gifts. This journal collects many of
Louise's writings on grateful living along with time-honoured
exercises, such as how to craft your own affirmations, do mirror
work, effectively visualize, forgive and release, heal dis-ease,
recognize the inner child and express appreciation every day. As
you learn to count your many blessings, may you see that your life
itself is a blessing.
