Book Description
Love, compassion, and peace - these words are at the heart of all spiritual endeavors. Although we intuitively resonate with their meaning and value, for most of us, the challenge is how to embody what we know; how to transform these words into a vibrant, living practice. In these times of conflict and uncertainty, this transformation is far more than an abstract ideal; it is an urgent necessity. Peace in the world begins with us. This wonderfully appealing offering from one the most trusted elders of Buddhism in the West is a warm and engaging exploration of the ways we can cultivate and manifest peace as wise and skillful action in the world. This charming book is illuminated throughout with lively, joyous, and sometimes even funny citations from a host of contemporary and ancient sources - from the poetry of W.S. Merwin and Galway Kinnell to the haiku of Issa and the great poet-monk Ryokan, from the luminous aspirations of Saint Francis of Assisi to the sage advice of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama.

Book Description
For those who dont know, PD stands for Parkinsons disease. I could think of other names right now as well, but Ill stick to the subject. Technically, theres a portion of my brain that produces dopamine, a chemical necessary for nerve conduction (and a bit of sanity), where cells have died. Theres a technical term for those cells as well, but this is neither an anatomy lesson nor a pharmacological treatise, so Ill forgo the technical details. I want to talk about what its like for me to experience this depletion of dopamine and the nuances of daily life therewith. I have no intention of keeping this totally rational. I can do that, but it would be dishonest and not be helpful as I work through each day genuinely. Fortunately, I stay neither in the rational nor irrational all the time. The irrational side of me says, No one wants to hear your bellyache about whats going on with you. Theyre too busy with their own stuff to care. The rational side says, If one person who reads this is helped or inspired to go on one more day, this expression has been worth it. So damn the irrational and on with the rational. Here go both!

The 12 Principles to Wellness

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
From fat, bloated, and on the brink of disaster to healthy, slim, and successful, Eleanor R. tells how The 12 Principles to Wellness can save your life and then your soul. She will take you through a journey of self-discovery both heart-wrenching and humorous. Eleanor writes honestly and vividly about how she has realized her dreamed of life by surrendering that which she thought she could not give up: first alcohol and then fl our and sugar. Over her twenty-six-year journey, she shares a host of epiphanies and epic discoveries that transform her from a non-believer to a true believer. One by one, she tackles the issues of life that can often cause a person to go back to addictive behavior. It is a story of hope, joy, and the triumph over self to understand that a joyful life is cultivated with the right thinking, which leads to the healthy behavior. Eleanors fi rst book, The Disease of More, set the stage. This book continues the chronology of overcoming the devastation of teenage bulimia and alcoholism that continued into young adulthood but was ultimately healed. She tells the story of hitting bottom, self examination, redemption, and self-actualization using the 12 Principles that she sets forth as a formula for success. This story of persistence and reaching for the knowledge of ones own soul in order to grow proves that one must do more than just put down the first drink or the first bite in order to get well. It is written for people seeking a better way of life, in and out of the rooms of the twelve-step programs everywhere.

Peace of Mind
Author: Thich Nhat Hanh
Publisher: Parallax Press
ISBN: 1937006484
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Live life more fully and enjoy the present moment with mindfulness practices for cultivating deeper mind-body awareness—from legendary Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh. We can’t heal with our minds alone. Thinking can be something productive and creative, but without integrating body and mind, much of our thinking is useless and unproductive. In Peace of Mind, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that integrating body and mind is the only way to be fully alive in each moment, without getting lost in our thoughts while walking, cooking, driving, and going about our everyday lives. Only by cultivating a mindful body and an embodied mind can we be fully alive. Bringing together ancient wisdom and contemporary thinking, Thich Nhat Hanh says it's like hardware and software—if you don't have both, you can't do anything. Peace of Mind provides a foundation for beginning mindfulness practices and understanding the principles of mind/body awareness. By learning how our physical body and mind are inseparable in creating our own perceptions and experiences we can begin to trust and nourish our ability to create well-being.

Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
YOUR GRATEFUL HEART IS A MAGNET TO ATTRACT EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE is a 100-day Gratitude Journal designed to help you cultivate happiness, encourage inner positivity, and keep you focused on the blessings of life. ● BOOST YOUR HAPPINESS: gratitude can literally transform your life. Life is all about focus and perspective. When you start focusing on what's going right in your life, the opportunities, you will be consciously raising your life's energy and vibration. ● CREATE POSITIVE MANIFESTATIONS IN YOUR LIFE: When you start writing down the good things in your life, negativity will no longer take the power from you. When you consciously write what you are grateful for, you take control over what you decide to give energy to. ● PROCESS YOUR EMOTIONS IN A HEALTHY WAY: Whatever is going on in your life, realizing that your "glass is half full" (rather than feeling that it's half empty) will equip you to go through negative life events in a more resilient way. WHAT'S INSIDE THE JOURNAL? ● MORNING GRATITUDE NOTES: Start your day in a positive state of mind. You will feel happier and more focused for the rest of the day. ● EVENING GRATITUDE NOTES: Finish your day with a grateful heart and a peaceful mind. Focus on the positive things that happened that day. ● AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: This affirmation, or positive statement, will help you reinforce your positive beliefs and challenge your negative thoughts. These simple phrases will help you 'rewire' your brain, and 'plant' positive seeds in your subconscious mind. Read them, meditate on them, and visualize what it means in your own personal experience. ● 10-DAY REFLECTION: Every 10 days you'll do a check up on your feelings, the ups and the lows. This will have huge benefits for increasing your self-awareness. ● THE PURPOSE OF THIS JOURNAL is to make gratitude part of your life and your routine. You'll be re-programming your mind with positive thoughts. ● EMBRACING THE HABIT OF GRATITUDE will not only change your life, spiritually, emotionally and physically but it will also give you an amazing new outlook on your life.
