Book Description
Neuroscience is saying we are energy, and consciousness is awareness of who we are and what our environment is. Awareness is consciousness that changes as we learn from experience. As we develop, consciousness in turn is changing our experience because the brain is plastic; it changes in response to awareness of self and environment. The question is, if we need to change experience, how do we do that? This book is about meditation as a tool to develop awareness to change experience. That occurs because of synchronicity of consciousness, experience, and plasticity of the brain. Meditation, as a personal art and neuroplastic exercise, is an internal technology of change. For this to happen, it needs to be understood as a process of the transformation of consciousness, an outcome of self-healing, and a method that connects the two. The method is meditation on goals. What is occurring through the process is the integration of reasoning with what was unconscious, intuition. We access intuition through mindfulness of goals as inspiration, the energy of intuition that is changing experience. As we self-heal there are different possibilities of meditation. Through self-healing, we achieve health and well-being. Through our empowerment and awareness of this occurring, we prevent mental illness. As we become aware of what has been causing change, vision is remembered. It has been forgotten but, the difference is that we are aware of it now. Narrative meditation is a method of visualization of goals. It is learned in stages on successively building on the method before. The state of meditation is a state of inspiration, of visualization of goals as experience. This makes meditation accessible. What makes it transformative is the healing of the aspects of self. What makes meditation inspirational is that vision is creating our experience.

Understanding is a change in awareness. The second is access to a deeper level of meditation. Meditation is accessed through the transformative vision. Understanding what the self is gives the transformative vision meaning as the state of meditation and purpose as healing as the transformative vision is remembered.

Scale or Fail
Author: Allison Maslan
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Scaling a business is not for the faint of heart. It’s a mind-bending journey that causes millions of business owners around the globe to either throw in the towel—or avoid risk entirely and suffer from smallness and mediocrity. Most of these businesses fail because they are ill prepared to face the real challenges involved in scaling. Either they don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with the sales demand or production, miss out on major opportunities due to fear, or keep making the same mistakes over and over because systems and processes aren’t in sync with the rate of growth. To truly scale, you must upsize your strategic practices, implement new marketing strategies, find new ways to build your team, and expand your mindset to break through whatever is keeping you stuck at the same level. Then you must be willing to take the leap into the giant unknown – to make your impossible possible. In Scale or Fail, author Allison Maslan—who has successfully scaled ten companies from scratch and has guided thousands of small businesses to do the same—shares her revolutionary SCALEit Method ® for successfully growing, replicating, and expanding your business. She also shares pivotal mindset strategies she’s used to break the fear barrier as a trapeze artist so you can move past any obstacle, take strategic Big Picture risks, and fulfill your dreams of business expansion and skyrocketing profit. Featuring a wealth of real-life success stories, visual tools, and exercises that are prescriptive and inspirational, Scale or Fail offers proven scaling strategies and a proactive approach to: Create your Big Picture Vision and build a plan to achieve it Produce an ever-flowing stream of cash flow with consistent profits Establish a powerhouse team that functions well without you Become a true leader and feel like you deserve your success Improve systems and processes that facilitate scaling Get past the mental and strategic pitfalls that cause revenue bottlenecks Scale or Fail is adaptable to any type of business—manufacturing, consumer goods, a brick and mortar, a digital service, a wholesaler, a consulting service, and everything in between. Whether you’re six figures and scaling to seven. . . or in the seven figures and scaling to eight or even nine, Scale or Fail provides the roadmap to multiply your business growth—and empower you to soar in the air with the greatest of ease.

Margery Kempe and Translations of the Flesh
Author: Karma Lochrie
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 081220753X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for 1999 Karma Lochrie demonstrates that women were associated not with the body but rather with the flesh, that disruptive aspect of body and soul which Augustine claimed was fissured with the Fall of Man. It is within this framework that she reads The Book of Margery Kempe, demonstrating the ways in which Kempe exploited the gendered ideologies of flesh and text through her controversial practices of writing, her inappropriate-seeming laughter, and the most notorious aspect of her mysticism, her "hysterical" weeping expressions of religious desire. Lochrie challenges prevailing scholarly assumptions of Kempe's illiteracy, her role in the writing of her book, her misunderstanding of mystical concepts, and the failure of her book to influence a reading community. In her work and her life, Kempe consistently crossed the barriers of those cultural taboos designed to exclude and silence her. Instead of viewing Kempe as marginal to the great mystical and literary traditions of the late Middle Ages, this study takes her seriously as a woman responding to the cultural constraints and exclusions of her time. Margery Kempe and Translations of the Flesh will be of interest to students and scholars of medieval studies, intellectual history, and feminist theory.

What will it take for Mankind to break out of his endless cycle of war and destruction? This cycle is repeated over and over again because of the way in which Man has chosen to view the world. In this novel, six characters with diverse backgrounds, known as The Foundation, set out to change this worldview. First, they must answer twelve of Mankind's oldest questions. Questions that Man has struggled with for centuries that have shaped his current perspective. During their quest for answers, the characters journey into prior lives and different realms of consciousness, which provides insight about their current paths as well as the evolutionary path of Mankind's group consciousness. The characters investigate the questions using all available sources and focus on the similarities of the world's religions and philosophies rather than their differences. With this perspective, the answers they develop are unique, yet consistent with enduring teachings and provide a complete, coherent view of the truth.

The Oxford Handbook of Queer and Trans Music Therapy
Author: Colin Andrew Lee
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192653415
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 785
Book Description
Music therapy is an established profession that is recognized around the world. As a catalyst to promote health and wellbeing music therapy is both objective and explorative. The Oxford Handbook of Queer and Trans Music Therapy (QTMT) is a celebration of queer, trans, bisexual and gender nonconforming identities and the spontaneous creativity that is at the heart of queer music-making. As an emerging approach in the 21st century QTMT challenges perspectives and narratives from ethnocentric and cisheteronormative traditions, that have dominated the field. Raising the essential question of what it means to create queer and trans spaces in music therapy, this book presents an open discourse on the need for change and new beginnings. The therapists, musicians and artists included in this book collectively embody and represent a range of theory, research and practice that are central to the essence and core values of QTMT. This book does not shy away from the sociopolitical issues that challenge music therapy as a dominantly white, heteronormative, and cisgendered profession. Music as a therapeutic force has the potential to transform us in unique and extraordinary ways. In this book music and words are presented as innovative equals in describing and evaluating QTMT as a newly defined approach.
