Telementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of
our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the
law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is
virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognised by
shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate
power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. This is a
short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction
with great ease and productivity, by directing one's inner feelings
in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated
due to their great efforts and poor results. In "Telementation",
this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and
the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and
dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution
in one's life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings
a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical
inner peace. "Telementation" is also particularly productive for
those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist
meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had
trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience
through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by
conventional methods.
Lorna Byrne has helped millions of people around the world by
calling on them to realise that they each have a guardian angel and
by showing them that can ask for help from God and the angels.
Lorna is often asked for help on how to ask and how to pray, so in
this new book she gives detailed advice and also includes prayers
for different occasions. She says: 'Sometimes our prayers are so
focussed on asking for things, we forget to listen out for what
God, the angels and our love ones are trying to tell us. God always
has this abundance of blessings prepared for us, small blessings
and great blessings. He wants to give every individual great
life-changing blessings, beginning when that individual is born.
God will do everything to make it happen, but He will never
infringe on an individual's free will, which a good reason for us
to engage intelligent conversation with him - listening as well as
asking - in prayer.'

The sutras of the great sage Patanjali, which together constitute a
landmark text in yoga spiritualism, are available here in this
classic translation by theosophic scholar Charles Johnson.
Historically the most translated of all ancient Indian texts,
Patanjali's sutras since the beginning of the 20th century enjoyed
audiences within and outside India. The translator Charles Johnson
was one of Ireland's celebrated theosophists, with a great interest
in the religious and philosophical texts of old. This edition
originally appeared in 1912, and introduced yoga to Western
audiences. The sutras explain the tenets of various yoga, and how
the yogi is able to absorb energy and strengthen thereby. The means
of gradually attaining a serene mental state known as Kaivalya as a
precursor to the blissfulness of samadhi is detailed. The constant
practice and disciplined honing of the bodily senses, and the
differing forms of yoga used to achieve a state of perfection in
each pillar of the practice.
A different and exciting form of self-care in the form of practical
mind to body self-regulation. In the challenging times of the 21st
century, looking after oneself and navigating the bumps in the road
has become more difficult than ever. However, this fascinating
book, written by two psychotherapists with many years of
experience, provides a simple and reliable means of restoring the
balance which is vital for the robust body mind system we need if
we are to be able to bounce back from adverse experiences. It is
this balance (homeostasis) that provides us with the highway to
wellbeing and it is our body mind system’s innate capacity to
self regulate which is at the core of this book. Using six key
Autogenic Training exercises, the authors provide readers with the
skillset to self regulate at any time or any place. These exercises
target activating the parasympathetic nervous system and involve
body scans, bodily awareness and respiratory and muscular
relaxation.
'The monk who taught the world mindfulness' Time In this masterful
work, one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today
shares his wisdom on how to be the change we want to see in the
world. In these troubling times we all yearn for a better world.
But many of us feel powerless and uncertain what we can do. Thich
Nhat Hanh (Thay) is blazingly clear: there's one thing that we have
the power to change-and which can make all the difference: our
mind. How we see and think about things determines all the choices
we make, the everyday actions we take (or avoid), how we relate to
those we love (or oppose), and how we react in a crisis or when
things don't go our way. Filled with powerful examples of engaged
action he himself has undertaken, inspiring Buddhist parables, and
accessible daily meditations, this powerful spiritual guide offers
us a path forward, opening us to the possibilities of change and
how we can contribute to the collective awakening and environmental
revolution our fractured world so desperately needs.
A must-have for anyone who practises yoga or is interested in the
teachings of the East. B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings on yoga are
followed throughout the world, reflects upon his lifetime's
experience on the yoga path. The structure of the book follows the
different aspects of that path (from Freedom Awaits, through The
Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual
Body, The Divine Body to Living in Freedom) and provides a learning
framework for yoga as well as an invaluable discourse on life.
'Iyengar knows what the body needs, and he's introduced to the West
the Easterner's best path to health and well-being' - TIME Magazine
'Revelations from a lifetime of studying yoga' - The Washington
Post 'Light on Life is rich in yoga philosophy and methodology. But
unlike his previous writings, this new book is full of
autobiographical anecdotes' - The New York Times 'Mr Iyengar
reveals in Light on Life the 'heart of yoga' that he personally
discovered through more than 70 years of disciplined, daily
practice ... [including] the precise ways that yoga can transform
our lives and help us live in harmony with the world around us' -
Yoga Journal 'The Michelangelo of yoga' - BBC TV

Mind, Value, and Cosmos: On the Relational Nature of Ultimacy is an
investigation into the nature of ultimacy and explanation,
particularly as it relates to the status of, and relationship
between, Mind, Value, and the Cosmos. It draws its stimulus from
longstanding "axianoetic" convictions as to the ultimate status of
Mind and Value in the western tradition of philosophical theology,
and chiefly from the influential modern proposals of A.N.
Whitehead, Keith Ward, and John Leslie. What emerges is a
relational theory of ultimacy wherein Mind and Value, Possibility
and Actuality, God and the World are revealed as "ultimate" only in
virtue of their relationality. The ultimacy of relationality-what
Whitehead calls "mutual immanence"-uniquely illuminates enduring
mysteries surrounding: any and all existence, necessary divine
existence, the nature of the possible, and the world as actual. As
such, it casts fresh light upon the whence and why of God, the
World, and their ultimate presuppositions.

This is a book for our time - a time where we need a greater
understanding of our bodily and emotional needs, as well as of our
place in a globalised world where health has become a major issue.
Since the beginnings of civilization, humans have relied on and
respected the earth and its bounty, understanding that the energy
of nature sustains and protects us when we live in balance. The aim
of this succinct handbook is to encourage us to take an active role
in our own well-being by bringing together the basics of good
nutrition, mindfulness and radiesthesia. Here you will find simple
advice about diet and fitness, along with explorations of the more
spiritual side of healing involving auras, meridian lines and the
chakra system (our personal energy fields), ley lines (the earth's
energy fields) and the energetic signatures of all that exists (the
vibrational makeup of material and intangible phenomena which we
tap into as we dowse). Everything contained in these pages has been
composed, explained and published for the good of all. It is the
first title of a new imprint that was inspired by and conceived by
the work of David Willocks in New Zealand - mimosa books, named
after the second star of the Southern Cross, a constellation
beloved of the peoples of that nation and region.

goddesses. The Celtic goddesses and druids were legendary beings.

Working by divine plan, goddesses imbue us with their ancient
wisdom, which becomes our own, helping us to avoid pitfalls and
reach our full potential. Celtic Goddesses and Their
Spells features 52 of these inspiring deities, all
beautifully illustrated. Gillian Kemp gives a description of each
goddess and her main powers, followed by a spell associated with
that goddess. For example, Cerridwen is the goddess of truth and
she encourages you to be your most authentic self, while Awen,
goddess of inspiration, helps you find the answers you need.

Like millions of us, Anjali Kumar, a lawyer for Google, was not religious. But when her daughter was born, Anjali felt compelled to find God-or at least some form of enlightenment-that she could someday impart to her daughter.
Knowing that she couldn't simply Google an answer to What is the meaning of life?, Anjali set out on a spiritual pilgrimage, and nothing was off limits. She headed to Peru to learn from shamans, practiced transcendental meditation, convened with angels, and even worked with a medium to speak with the dead-all while searching for answers to life's most universal questions: Why are we here? What happens when we die? Is there a God?
Nei Gong has been a well-kept secret within the Daoist sects of
China for centuries. Based upon the original teachings of the great
sage Laozi, it has only ever been taught to close students of the
masters chosen as the heads of the ancient orders. This book
provides a breakdown of the entire Nei Gong process, and explains
in plain English the philosophy which underpins Nei Gong practice,
and which is based on the original teachings of the ancient Daoist
priests. The methodology of Sung breathing, an advanced meditative
practice which has until now been reserved for 'inner-door'
students is described, and the book contains an entire set of
Qigong exercises accompanied by instructional photographs and
drawings. This book will be of interest to all practitioners of Qi
Gong, martial arts and meditation, and will be a rewarding read for
anyone interested in Eastern philosophy.
