The Oxford Handbook of Meditation
Author: Miguel Farias
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192536370
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 800
Book Description
Meditation techniques, including mindfulness, have become popular wellbeing practices and the scientific study of their effects has recently turned 50 years old. But how much do we know about them: what were they developed for and by whom? How similar or different are they, how effective can they be in changing our minds and biology, what are their social and ethical implications? The Oxford Handbook of Meditation is the most comprehensive volume published on meditation, written in accessible language by world-leading experts on the science and history of these techniques. It covers the development of meditation across the world and the varieties of its practices and experiences. It includes approaches from various disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, history, anthropology, and sociology and it explores its potential for therapeutic and social change, as well as unusual or negative effects. Edited by practitioner-researchers, this book is the ultimate guide for all interested in meditation, including teachers, clinicians, therapists, researchers, or anyone who would like to learn more about this topic.

Meditation Is Not What You Think
Author: Jon Kabat-Zinn
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316522023
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Welcome to a master class in mindfulness. Jon Kabat-Zinn is regarded as "one of the finest teachers of mindfulness you'll ever encounter" (Jack Kornfield). He has been teaching the tangible benefits of meditation in the mainstream for decades. Today, millions of people around the world have taken up a formal mindfulness meditation practice as part of their everyday lives. But what is meditation anyway? And why might it be worth trying? Or nurturing further if you already have practice? Meditation Is Not What You Think answers those questions. Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book entitled Coming to Our Senses, it has been updated with a new foreword by the author and is even more relevant today. If you're curious as to why meditation is not for the "faint-hearted," how taking some time each day to drop into awareness can actually be a radical act of love, and why paying attention is so supremely important, consider this book an invitation to learn more -- from one of the pioneers of the worldwide mindfulness movement.

Three Word Meditation
Author: Robert Felix
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595350453
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Ever since the Gnostic (self-knowledge) traditions were purged from Christianity in the Fourth Century AD, the church has been a gatekeeper of faith. But people today are curious about the differences between fixed, dogmatic truths offered by religious authority and inner, personal and adaptable truths discovered from within. Now, author Robert Felix has written a work that brings these external and internal worlds together in order to help you achieve a closer connection to the Divine. An historical oversight of Western religions, Felix contends, is that they teach us how to talk to God without teaching the equally important skill of how to listen to God. Here, Felix shows how to combine Western styles of prayer with Eastern meditation techniques. With prayer you discover the unique characteristics of your personality while meditation enables you to hear answers in the form of new, creative solutions to the concerns and goals you face. With this practice, you can intentionally alter your mind for the better. Felix writes, "Because you are unique, no one can create your pathway to Divine Love but you. Everyone communicates with God in a personal space, inside themselves. You have to find your own 'God within' and then the Highest Source will help you in profound, life changing ways." After forty years of research and practice, Felix has found that these techniques enhance the ability to feel God's Pure Love. The Three Word Meditation approach creates partnerships between the verbal skills of your analytical brain and the holistic skills of your intuitive brain. They form the basis of the most cherished partnerships of all--the partnerships between you, Pure Love, and all of earth's life. A rainbow of advice for personal wellness and spiritual growth. With all of its talk of partnerships, productivity, and growth, it¿s difficult to imagine a more pragmatic approach to meditation. Useful for those seeking a neat path to achieving inner balance. -Kirkus Discoveries

Craft Your Own Magic
Author: Cassie Uhl
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401975232
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
A call to create your own magical practice by understanding magical correspondences, incorporating your own lived experiences and ancestry, and applying intuitive insights. Crafting your own magic is a personal and fluid journey, and you won’t find scripted spells and rituals within these pages. Instead, you’ll find a collection of pathways to a magical practice rooted in your lived experience and the relationships you form in seen and unseen realms. Here, witch, intuitive energy healer, and death-worker Cassie Uhl will share techniques to hone your inherent intuitive abilities, personal experiences, and practices—all of which she encourages you to modify to suit your needs. Your magical practice and the path that shapes it will be as unique as you are, as it should be. Uhl walks you through crafting your own magic using the elements as guideposts: air, on developing intuition; fire, on magic in relationship; water, on correspondences; earth, on ethics and ancestry; and spirit, on bringing it all together. What crafting your own magic looks like for you will be personal and fluid. Where would you turn to seek inspiration, community, means, and modes to craft your magic? Perhaps you would shift inward to the trees, flowers, birds, or invisible in-between spaces. There will likely be parts of your magical practice that no one but you will be able to define as true. For these reasons, parts of crafting your own magic may feel uncomfortable. From these places of discomfort, not knowing, and becoming, your magical practices can flourish.

Multicultural Approaches to Health and Wellness in America
Author: Regan A. R. Gurung
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440803501
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
Led by a UCLA-trained health psychologist, a team of experts describes non-traditional treatments that are quickly becoming more common in Western society, documenting cultural variations in health and sickness practices to underscore the diversity among human society. This unique two-volume set describes the variety of cultural approaches to health practiced by people of varying cultural heritages and places them in stark context with traditional Western approaches to health care and medicine. Examining health practices such as Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine that focuses on the body, the sense organs, the mind, and the soul; and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the author examines why these different approaches can explain some of the cultural variations in health behaviors, differences in why people get sick, and how they cope with illness. Traditional health care providers of all kinds—including clinicians, counselors, doctors, nurses, and social workers—will all greatly benefit by learning about vastly different approaches to health, while general readers and scholars alike will gain insight into the rich diversity of world culture and find the material fascinating.
