Experience what it is like to live in the moment with this
beautifully illustrated journal, specially designed to help you
develop your own mindfulness practice. My Mindfulness Journal
provides a way to introduce and integrate mindfulness into your
life. Keeping a journal naturally encourages us to reflect on our
experience. Reflection is a key part of mindfulness, as it requires
an attitude of curiosity and also helps us to set an intention for
our practice. Anna Black explains what mindfulness is and how it
can help us to have less stress and more contentment, then offers
guided exercises and activities that will help you record and
reflect your experience with curiosity and without judgment. As
well as writing and drawing exercises, there are also a variety of
meditation practices, including working with our breath and
focusing on the body, and pages where you can note down your own
observations and thoughts. As you work through the book, you will
not only discover that mindfulness practice becomes a more natural
way of being, but have a vaulable record of your journey.
"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."
Many people are discovering in meditation a way to find peace of

Chinmoy answers a very wide range of questions about meditation,

make meditation practical and the intrinsic value of meditation.

to help you achieve harmonious equilibrium in life's physical,
mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual spheres.

attaining peace. It provides an in-depth analysis of the mind,

Equips Christian counselors and therapists to confidently use
mindfulness techniques with their clients in a way that is both
practical and biblical. Accessing mindfulness is a therapeutic
touchstone for a range of emotional issues, from mild distress to
the treatment of trauma, but the term mindfulness has often left
Christians wary. Stripped of Christlike spirituality, it sounds
self-focused at best, and at worst like a fusion with modern
pop-religions of the day. But the quality of mindfulness-of being
fully present, aware of ourselves and our situation so that we can
better respond to the chaos around us-is a profoundly biblical
concept. And it can be used effectively by Christian counselors and
healing practitioners. In A Counselor's Guide to Christian
Mindfulness, Regina Chow Trammel (a clinical social worker) and
John Trent (a marriage and family therapist) team up to offer
training in mindfulness skills used in evidence-based practices,
such as dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment
therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. These therapies
have been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of many
mental health issues, blending elements of neuroscience, social
science, and religious training. This book is the ideal resource to
equip those in the helping professions to faithfully use
mindfulness interventions both professionally and personally and
includes: A historical and theoretical overview of Christian
mindfulness and how it contrasts with other mindfulness-based
practices. A practical guide for how to use mindfulness skills in
counseling and therapeutic practice. A section addressing specific
challenges or situations that your clients face. Dialogue scripts
and contemplation exercises to adapt for your own work. The
practice of Christian mindfulness can be effective in helping
clients manage their intrusive and stressful thoughts, emotions,
relationships, and challenges. This book fills a gap for Christian
counselors and therapists who are eager for a resource that teaches
mindfulness skills from a Christian and biblical perspective.
