What if you could recognize patterns in your life and then use that
knowledge to get ahead, manage your well being, and prepare for
both good and bad times? What if the blueprint of your existence
was within your grasp via an extensively researched mathematical
calculation that was easy to understand and apply to your specific
life? Wait no longer. Now you can do just that. Researcher George
Pan Kouloukis has delved into the lives of 22 prominent people from
over the last 500 years-everyone from Beethoven to Jimmy Carter-to
prove his summation that there are patterns to both good and bad
seasons in all people's lives, and then he teaches you how to
identify your own. This new and innovative exploration into the
existence of patterns puts you in the driver's seat when making
critical decisions about your career, marriage, family,
relationships, health, and all other life issues. Better get
started. The sooner you know, the sooner you can take charge!
How did a venerable Indian spiritual discipline turn into a GBP20
billion-a-year mainstay of the wellness industry? What happened
along yoga's winding path from the caves and forests of the sages
to the gyms, hospitals and village halls of the modern West? This
comprehensive history sets yoga in its global cultural context for
the first time, leading us on a journey from arcane religious
rituals and medieval body-magic, through Christianity and the
British Empire, to Indian nationalists and the twentieth-century
West. Yoga has now become embedded in powerful social currents
including feminism, digital media, celebrity culture, the stress
pandemic and the quest for authentic identity. Shearer's revealing
history boasts a colourful cast of characters past and present, in
an engaging tale of scholars and scandal, science and spirit,
wisdom and waywardness. This is the untold story of yoga, warts and
all.
To serve the evolution of consciousness and the realisation of true
spirituality, sex - both as psychological impulse and as raw drive
- must be purified of misuse and coercive force and refined into an
enlightened and flexible substance. Likewise, the crystallised
unconscious fixations of karma must be transmuted. This book, based
on and including some of the practices from Reyo's Karma and
Sexuality workshops, is the most complete guide available on the
inner dynamics of human relationships and how this alchemical
transformation might come about. It analyses the structural
foundations of the mind and the physical organism - as well as
higher mind or consciousness - in light of modern physics and
psychological thought. This is the best of Freud wedded to the best
of Jung and modern mysticism. The book's overtones are tantric,
while its spirit is profoundly humanitarian and ecological,
advocating the need for brotherhood and unity, and a more loving
consciousness in which the truly earthly is indeed divine.

Jare se gewoontes, die verlede se stories en herhalende emosionele patrone bring mee dat die meeste van ons vasgevang sit binne ons eie droomwêreld. Hier beleef en herleef ons dieselfde storie oor en oor, alhoewel die karakters en dekor soms verander.
Binne hierdie droomstorie, of sekerlik eerder nagmerrie, is ons vasgevang. Dit is lyding, dit is hel. Daar is gelukkig ‘n weg (Tao) uit die doolhof van hierdie skynlewe, en dit is: word wakker. Dan hoef jy nie eens te wonder hoe om die droomstorie te probeer oplos of hoe om die karakters te benader nie; nee, jy word eenvoudig wakker en jou hele droomwêreld tuimel ineen.
Presies wat Abel Pienaar in hierdie boek met jou wil deel. ‘n Gids na wakker word, innerlike vryheid en lewensgeluk.
How to tune in to our own biology in pursuit of spiritual awakening
* Provides a practical program, complete with enjoyable, even
playful meditations, for realizing greater self-awareness,
increased wisdom, and happiness * Shows how recent discoveries in
physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology express in scientific
terms the same insights the Buddha discovered more than 2,500 years
ago * Reveals the origins of attachments, desires, emotions, and
thoughts in our own bodies Taking us on an evolutionary journey to
find the origins of emotions, desires, and thoughts in our own
bodies, Wes "Scoop" Nisker shows not only how cutting-edge science
is proving the tenets of the Buddha but also how we can interpret
the traditional practices of Buddhism through this scientific lens
for more personal freedom and peace of mind. Using the traditional
Buddhist meditation series of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness
as a framework, Nisker offers a witty narrative along with
practical meditations and exercises to train the mind to overcome
painful conditioning and gain greater self-awareness, increased
wisdom, and happiness. He shows how recent discoveries in physics,
evolutionary biology, and psychology express in scientific terms
the same insights the Buddha discovered more than 2,500 years ago,
such as the impermanence of the body, where thoughts come from, and
how the body communicates within itself. Presenting a variety of
new ways to harness the power of mindfulness to transform our
understanding of both ourselves and the world, Nisker teaches us
how to put our understanding of evolution in the service of
spiritual awakening.

A step-by-step guide to building lucid dreaming skills and using
dreamwork for personal development and transformation * Provides an
extensive inventory of beginning, intermediate, and advanced tools
and practices for meaningful lucid dreamwork and shows how dreams

life * Offers guidance to help you overcome mental or physical
obstacles, including ways to stop sleep paralysis * Examines
supplements to aid lucid dreaming practice and increase the
vividness and recall of dreams Dreams offer a gateway into our
psyche. Through lucid dreaming--when you have conscious awareness
during sleep--you can access and interact with the subconscious
mind for greater self-awareness, personal development, and
transformation. In this step-by-step guide to dreamwork, Lee Adams
provides tools and techniques for encouraging, remembering, and
using lucid dreams for personal growth as well as how to have big
dreams that leave a lasting impact. Beginning with an overview of
the history of lucid dreaming, he shares tried-and-true
foundational practices to get you started--practices for before
sleep, during sleep, and after dreaming. Drawing upon Jungian depth
psychology, recent research in neuroscience, and years of personal
dream practice, Adams then offers an extensive inventory of
intermediate and advanced methods to support meaningful dreamwork,
such as the Wake Induced Lucid Dreams technique (WILD), where you
fall asleep while conscious and transport your active awareness
into a dream state. He also explores dream companions, symbols of
the unconscious mind, dream interpretation, and working with the
shadow side of the self. He examines how dreams can shape our
conscious reality if we incorporate them or their symbols into
waking life. He offers guidance to help you overcome any mental or
physical obstacles you may encounter, including ways to stop sleep
paralysis. He also examines supplements to aid lucid dreaming
practice, improve dream recall, and increase the vividness of
dreams, such as Alpha-GPC, 5-HTP, Silene undulata, Mugwort, the
mushroom Lion's Mane, and Galantamine. With this practical guide,
you can ignite your mind's capacity to wake up to your own dreams
and restructure your world to be more attuned to your deeper self.

twenty-first century takes seekers on a journey of self-discovery
deep into the collective unconscious and through the realm of
archetypes, where dreams and myths meet. In this original box set,

emotional creativity and the drive to find our truth, and The
Vision, which symbolizes the lifelong journey to rediscover our
destiny. Accompanying the deck is a 224-page hand-lettered, fully

explanations of the many spreads, practices, and concepts that
power the Archetypes deck. A beautiful and inclusive tool for

Today's kids face grave issues and harder decisions than ever

issues make kids feel as if they must understand and accept all the

The modern world can present the body as a machine that just needs
to be regularly exercised. However, it is a remarkably sensitive
organ in which a lot of our pain and hope is stored and that we
need to interpret and handle with subtlety. This impact of our body
upon our mind is something which needs to be explored as it is easy
to pay attention to one more than the other and to to ignore the
crucial balance between the two. This is a book filled with
reflections and exercises designed to help us live more
harmoniously and maturely within both mind and body. It gives
guidance on how to calm our minds with bodily exercises that work
on the real sources of our anxieties. It suggests how to be less
rigid in, and timid about, our bodies and how to relax into them in
a way we might not have done for far too long. It offers ideas on
how to accept the way we look, and how to treat the body in order
for it to assist the mind in yielding its very best ideas. The
impacts of activities such as singing, dancing and art are explored
along with the liberation of spirit that these might offer. This is
a book, both theoretical and practical, that will improve our
relationship between our physical and mental selves and allow us a
route to a life of greater self-assurance, wisdom and freedom to be
ourselves.

Wilber's groundbreaking synthesis of religion, philosophy, physics,
and psychology started a revolution in transpersonal psychology. He
was the first to suggest in a systematic way that the great
psychological systems of the West could be integrated with the
noble contemplative traditions of the East. Spectrum of
Consciousness, first released by Quest in 1977, has been the
prominent reference point for all subsequent attempts at
integrating psychology and spirituality.
