Offers ways to upgrade creativity while practicing mindfulness so
that anyone can achieve breakthroughs in any area of their life.
Looking to upgrade your creative abilities? Core Creativity offers
ways to go beyond the limitations of ordinary creativity to access
the core creativity that comes from the very center of your being:
the depths of your unconscious. Ronald Alexander has decades of
experience working with core creatives-artists who regularly draw
on deep creativity and have learned what to do when the well seems
to have run dry. Using mindfulness practice, meditation and
visualizations, and habits and mindsets of highly creative people,
anyone can experience the flow of ideas as if from an infinitely
abundant source. Core Creativity employs stories of ordinary but
highly creative people alongside the latest research that helps
people get unstuck. Too often, the mind's Wi-Fi signal is too weak
for the really big ideas to load, but Core Creativity offers
readers help with establishing a mindfulness practice; exercises
for enhancing creativity and fostering better decision-making; key
insights from personal interviews with highly creative artists
including music producer Val Garay, director Amy Ziering, and actor
Denis Quaid; and guidance for reclaiming your creative self so you
can achieve profound transformation. Core creativity allows you to
come up with ideas that are both fresh and original and experience
such a deep state of creative flow that it might feel as if you
only played a minor role in the process of creativity. For anyone
seeking to enhance their creative abilities and achieve their
goals, Core Creativity presents the possibility of genuine
breakthroughs.
From the Foreword by Alan Cohen:
"The lessons here in Mastering Life keep pointing us back to the
simplicity of loving. We find ourselves in a world where complexity
seems to pull us from joy at every turn. Simply holding the
consciousness of love will open doors that anxious striving cannot.
Behold the answer that sooths, heals, uplifts and changes the
world, beginning with ourselves.
"Take your time as you stroll through these insightful pages.
Absorb the words and images and make them your own. While they seem
to be teaching you, they are really reminding you of what you know
deep inside your heart. Then bring the principles to life in your
own unique way and enjoy the blessings they deliver."
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.
"Keys To Spiritual Being" is a two-part manual of meditation
exercises designed to give the individual the ability to come to a
higher state of spiritual awareness and development. The first
book-"Energy Meditation," presents the premise that one begins a
transformational process through the infusion of biopsychic energy.
Through the application of Ravarour's Energy Meditation exercises,
one activates and magnifies the biopsychic energy potential within
the individual; coming to an inner path of higher consciousness
eventually leading to transformation through one's own sensorial
awareness and growth. The second book-"Synchronization Exercises,"
presents a series of exercises which when practiced enables couples
the ability to unite at the deepest levels of spirit, mind, and
being. These exercises allow the advanced practitioner to
synchronize the various chakras within the body with his or her
mate, thus being able to co-create a harmonization between each
other-a unity of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Originally created
by Adrian Ravarour, Ph. D. in the 1960's, this new and revised text
provides the necessary instruction on how to focus one's energy to
activate the intuition, initiate an internal dialogue with the mind
and spirit, and stimulate transformation in the self and each
other-a unification of heart, feeling, mind, and soul. Visionary
philosopher and author Dr, Jose Arguelles-Valum Votan writes that
"the purpose of Ravarour's Energy Meditation / Biopsychic Energy
Exercises is for you-the individual, to be able to channel and
recognize the biopsychic energy emitted by your organism. The value
of these exercises is that they are practical and anyone can do
them."
The world is filled with stress, pains, miseries, sickness, and
death. The hustle and bustle of modern life does not bring peace.
But practicing yogic meditation has the ability to bring silence
and peace of mind into your life. In Your Window to Silence and
Peace, author Dr. S. K. Babooa provides a guide to yogic mediation
to help you achieve harmonious equilibrium in life's physical,
mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual spheres.
Your Window to Silence and Peace contains gems of knowledge for
attaining peace. It provides an in-depth analysis of the mind,
discusses how everything of the body originates from the mind, and
focuses on the correlation between the mind and thought. Babooa
presents the basics of the charkas-smuladhara, swadhistan,
manipura, anahat, vishuddha, ajna, and sahasrara-and offers a
detailed, practical journey of yogic meditation.
Babooa demonstrates the ways in which yogic meditation can
unravel the treasure house that is the human mind. He stresses the
importance and power of silence and communicates that you can open
the window of silence through yogic meditation and attain
everlasting peace in this modern world.
