It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

A guide to shadow work with animal teachers * Explains how the
animals we fear or dislike can help us recognize and investigate
our shadow side: the hated, abandoned, judged, and denied aspects
of ourselves * Explores the lessons of a wide variety of shadow
animals, including snakes, rats, bats, and spiders, as well as
those that only seem shadowy to some, such as dogs, cats, birds,
and horses * Looks at the elements of the psyche each shadow animal
represents and presents thirteen animal-inspired exercises designed
to examine, embrace, and integrate our shadow selves We often
project qualities onto animals that we don't wish to admit in
ourselves. Thus, snakes are evil, spiders are creepy, rats are
dirty, and so on. As Dawn Baumann Brunke explains, the animals we
fear or dislike can help us to recognize our Shadow: the hated,
abandoned, judged, and denied aspects of ourselves. As teachers and
guides, shadow animals can help us to reclaim the inner strengths,
abilities, and wisdom that we have forgotten or disowned. Brunke
explores the lessons of numerous shadow animals, including those
that many think of as shadowy, such as snakes and bats, as well as
those that only seem shadowy to some, such as dogs, cats, birds,
and horses. Though shadow animals may initially appear frightening,
they offer profound healing and expert guidance in helping us
identify, learn from, and embrace our shadow selves. Brunke
explains how shadow animals represent unexamined elements of the
psyche--from secret fears and suppressed emotions to unacknowledged
prejudices and repressed trauma. She presents thirteen
animalinspired exercises, each uniquely designed to help us find
and better understand the lost, wounded pieces of our psyche.
Presenting an animal-centered guide to shadow work, Brunke reveals
how shadow animals protect and advise, challenge and encourage,
inspire and offer support to the spiritual adventure of
enlightenment as we awaken to who we really are.
A psychiatrist's comprehensive examination of evidence for the
survival of consciousness after death After a twenty-year break
from practice, Alan Sanderson returned to clinical psychiatry at
age fifty-nine and soon realized that many of his patients were
plagued by troublesome earthbound spirits, some of whom had been
attached across lifetimes to multiple incarnations as well as
multiple hosts. By talking with these attached spirits and
persuading them to leave their hosts, Dr. Sanderson found
remarkable success in the treatment of his patients. Now, more than
30 years later, Dr. Sanderson shares his extensive research on the
afterlife, the survival of consciousness after physical death, and
paranormal phenomena related to the spirit world. He explains his
practice of psychiatric spirit release, centered on the spiritual
and psychic aspects of emotional disturbance, and shares case
studies complete with full accounts of treatment sessions. He
offers first-hand accounts of the survival of the spirit after
death, from ancient times to the present day, and explores
end-of-life experiences, including what is witnessed by the living
people in the room, as well as profound accounts of near-death
experiences, out-of-body experiences, and reincarnation. He
examines evidence for mediumship, clairvoyance, telepathy, and the
psychic aspects of heart transplants. He also details cases of
remote healing, further proving the existence of connections beyond
the material world. Presenting a wealth of evidence, as well as
suggestions for new treatment possibilities for mental health
problems, Dr. Sanderson offers a comprehensive examination of
spirit existence and the survival of consciousness after death.
