The book covers two popular trekking routes: the Normal (Horcones Valley) route and the Vacas Valley (Polish Glacier) route. It also includes trekking routes up Tupungato, the Maipo Volcano, and other acclimatisation treks, with suggestions for things to see and do around Mendoza and Santiago City. The guide provides a wealth of practical and indispensable information for those taking on the challenge of Aconcagua. There is information on travel to South America and to the start of the trek, and essential know-how on preparing for high-altitude mountaineering, including advice on equipment, coping with altitude, and strategies for acclimatisation. It gives expert advice on permits, food and water, hiring guides and mules, and staying healthy. With maps and colour photos and supplemented by background information on the mountain, its history, geology, wildlife and local culture, this is a comprehensive and must-read guide for anyone considering tackling Aconcagua.
We are all susceptible to negative external influences, but hidden within each of us is a spiritual power that is waiting to be rediscovered. In this insightful and practical book, based on the author's personal reflections and life-long experience as a pupil and teacher of spirituality, Jim Ryan presents a unique examination of the mind as it is now, together with practical ways to develop a more spiritual way of thinking and being. Firstly, he shows you how to recognize and change the five negative states of mind: the stone mind, the hollow mind, the coral mind, the fragrant mind and the sponge mind. Then he sets out the pathway to change, helping you to rediscover nine positive mind states, including the wisdom mind, the love mind, the divine mind and ultimately the angelic mind. Aimed at all spiritual thinkers, regardless of religious background, this book shows you how to move from one mind state and how to reconnect with your inner spiritual power.
