It is common knowledge that the way we think profoundly affects our
health and happiness. As Tibetan Bon culture has known for
centuries, true, original thought is one of the most powerful
energy resources that we each have, and tapping into it can bring
us great spiritual, emotional and financial success. But, as
Christopher Hansard - leading authority in Tibetan medicine -
explains, most of us don't know how to think effectively. What we
imagine to be thoughts are simply reactions to our environment and
to other people, and are far removed from 'original thought', which
has the power to transform lives. In this enlightening book,
Hansard shows us how to take control of our thinking. Using simple
meditations and exercises he shows how we can each harness the
power of positive thinking to block negativity, transform emotions,
and discover the deepest meaning of our lives, to make it the life
we truly want to live.
This book provides an interdisciplinary focus on music, memory, and
ageing by examining how they intersect outside of a formal
therapeutic context or framework and by offering a
counter-narrative to age as decline. It contributes to the
development of qualitative research methodologies by utilizing and
reflecting on methods for studying music, memory, and ageing across
diverse and interconnected contexts. Using the notion of
inheritance to trouble its core themes of music, memory, ageing,
and methodology, it examines different ways in which the concept of
inheritance is understood but also how it commonly refers to the
practice of passing on, and the connections this establishes across
time and space. It confronts the ageist discourses that associate
popular music predominantly with youth and that focus narrowly, and
almost exclusively, on music's therapeutic function for older
adults. By presenting research which examines various intersections
of music and ageing outside of a therapeutic context or framework,
the book brings a much-needed intervention.
