Inner peace is within your reach A busy mind is one of the hazards
of modern-day life, and it can be a huge drain on your energy and
well-being. But be assured: whether you find it difficult to keep
unwanted thoughts at bay or you've just got a hundred and one
things to think about, there are ways to relax and unwind that can
be learned, practised and perfected. Filled with helpful tips,
soothing statements and calming activities, How to Quieten Your
Mind will put you back in the driving seat and help you to feel
relaxed, more in control and at peace with yourself.
By adopting the ancient Buddhist practice of mindfulness
meditation, we can learn to pay attention to our daily experience
and become more contented and fulfilled by daily activities. Many
of us find it difficult to simply appreciate the present moment. We
either dwell on the past or worry about the future, moving
mindlessly from one activity to the next. When we are not being
mindful, we miss out on small moments that are often incredibly
valuable - be it a beautiful park that we walk through on our
journey to work or the taste and texture of a delicious meal. In
mindfulness meditation we pay attention to our ongoing experience
whether it is pleasant - such as appreciating a beautiful sunny
day; unpleasant - a disagreement with a loved one; or neutral -
doing household chores. This 'Little Pocket Book' is the perfect
introduction to mindfulness and is packed with easy-to-follow tips
and suggestions that will allow you to incorporate simple mindful
moments into your daily life.
A unique approach to tarot with symbol-rich scenes based on the
five elements - fire, water, air, earth and spirit - translating
the cards' divine wisdom into actionable guidance. Tarot and magick
opened Melinda Lee Holm's life to endless possibilities and she'd
like to help you open yours in the same way. Through unique imagery
and elemental card interpretations, Melinda, a tarot priestess,
creates a most personal, integrative experience of self-discovery.
Eliminating human figures entirely, the cards in the Elemental
Power Tarot present symbol-rich scenes that invite the user to step
in and explore for themselves. The objects and scenes of the cards
feel as accessible as they do magickal. You'll learn what it is
like to inhabit the garden of The Empress or to reach out and grab
the Ace of Swords. Rohan Eason's expressive illustrations hold a
treasure trove of symbols that offer visual clues to the wisdom of
the cards. The accompanying guide book contains Melinda's
philosophy of Tarot, card meanings, and her elemental system of
interpreting cards and spreads, including an apothecary item for
the major arcana cards, embodying a real Earth element solution.
