The Tao of Allowing
Author: Gp Walsh
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615923796
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The Law of Attraction is undoubtedly the most exciting and misunderstood idea to come about in a long, long time. Exciting because the promise of wealth, abundance and prosperity is huge. Misunderstood because it isn't being grasped in its entirety. The term Law of Attraction is a recent phrase for something that has been around for thousands of years. Great teachers like Abraham-Hicks, Steve Pavlina, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Christy Whitman, Margaret Lynch, the movie "The Secret," "What the Bleep, artfully describe this law and have made it a household word. But one thing remains missing. And what is that? A practice that enables the student to embody this law as a Way of Life and not just a nice idea. And what is that practice? Allowing. According GP Walsh, spiritual teacher and radio personality, this Law is simply "the way things actually are." In other words, the Tao or nature itself. It is not a technique. It is a Way of Being! "A key piece of the manifestation puzzle that is often overlooked - and is addressed head-on in The Tao of Allowing - is that before we can successfully take that next step toward greater fulfillment, abundance and success, we must feel in the very core of our being and nervous system that it is safe to take that step. As long as we are operating in a state of fear - whether expressed as resistance, defensiveness, or what G calls the 'contrived, artificial behaviors' that we adapted early in life to ensure our continued acceptance in our social 'tribe' - all our efforts forward inevitably grind to a halt, every single time." - Christy Whitman: New York Times Bestselling Author So, more than just a passive, wait for it to happen attitude, The Tao of Allowing is a very active way of engaging with life. Instead of trying to force it to our will, we allow ourselves to flow with life. We ride the wave. We surf on the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction has promised a great deal. Things like: Effortless wealth, health and relationships (even weight loss) A stress free life More customer for your business The front parking space at Wal-Mart Whatever you want from the genie of the universe So how come the only people who seem to get all those results are the ones teaching everybody else how to do it? I thought this was a law? It IS a Law. Not magic. Like the Wright Brothers, who experimented for years before getting that first plane off the ground, you need to understand the Law. It is not an act of faith. It is an act of understanding. Once you understand the law, then, like the Wright Brothers, you get to build the airplane. Ancient Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, martial arts, acupuncture, understood how life actually moved and functioned. That is how they healed and did miraculous things. They called this natural flow The Tao. And the Tao is the center of "The Tao of Allowing" and its experiential approach to learning and mastering the law of Attraction. So don't stand in the ocean trying to push the waves back out to sea. Grab your surfboard and come surf the Tao of Allowing. ""Working with G and being exposed to his teachings, I started to listen to the voice inside. I started to listen to my body! What I got was a screaming and yearning for ME to come out. I took the leap and now I can see from the other side, what started with listening to that voice with the guidance of G, I am now 100% doing the work I love as a coach of women entrepreneurs on a mission (not interpreting). I accept challenges in my career like taking charge of a $2 million project, or teaching on stage in front of 100s of people. Only a few years ago I would have said no, I would have ignored the inner voice, I would have said, oh no, I can't do that.Here is the kicker...I am making way more money as I continue to say yes. " "I love G and I always love how he makes the concepts that are so hard to grasp easy for us mere humans to understand." Beth"

The Tao of Happiness
Author: Derek Lin
Publisher: TarcherPerigee
ISBN: 0399175512
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
If you have not encountered Chuang Tzu before, prepare yourself for a treat. He was the sage who stood apart from all others in Chinese history. He was a unique presence, a great mind like no one before or since. Chuang Tzu quickly distinguished himself and became well known for his deep understanding and sense of humor. His mastery was such that he could explain the Tao with simple stories, and his humor was such that he could see the joy in ordinary things. He taught his students about “carefree wandering”—the path of moving through life with a free and happy heart, regardless of how turbulent the journey might be. It is time for modern readers to join in on the fun. Chuang Tzu’s wisdom is not just for Eastern culture, but for all of humanity. We may not have the instability or the clash of massive armies indicative of Chuang Tzu’s time, but we have a lot of stress and tension in our modern world. Many of us find ourselves fighting little battles on the personal front just to get through the day. We can benefit greatly from Chuang Tzu’s teachings. These parables are presented throughout this book and juxtaposed with the charming and intelligent prose of modern-day Taoist teacher and author Derek Lin. Together, Chuang Tzu and Lin will present you with simple lessons that will have a lasting impact on your life.

Presents a translation and commentary to the oldest known extant Taoist text, Inward Training (Nei-yeh), which is composed of short poetic verses devoted to the practice of breath meditation and its resultant insights about human nature and the cosmos. Roth argues that Inward Training is the basis of early Taoism, and suggests that there may be more continuity between early philosophical Taoism and later Taoist religion than scholars have thought.

One of the best-selling English-language translations of the Taoteching. "A refreshing new translation. . . . Highly recommended."--Library Journal "With its clarity and scholarly range, this version of the Taoteching works as both a readable text and a valuable resource of Taoist interpretation."--Publishers Weekly "Read it in confidence that it comes as close as possible to expressing the Chinese text in English."--Victor Mair, professor of Chinese studies, University of Pennsylvania Lao-tzu's Taoteching is an essential volume of world literature, and Red Pine's nuanced and authoritative English translation--reissued and published with the Chinese text en face--is one of the best-selling versions. Features that set this volume apart from other translations are its commentaries by scores of Taoist scholars, poets, monks, recluses, adepts, and emperors spanning more than two thousand years. "I envisioned this book," Red Pine notes in his introduction, "as a discussion between Lao-tzu and a group of people who have thought deeply about his text." Sages have no mind of their own their mind is the mind of the people to the good they are good to the bad they are good until they become good to the true they are true to the false they are true until they become true . . . Lao-tzu (ca. 600 BCE) was a Chinese sage who Confucius called "a dragon among men." He served as Keeper of the Royal Archives and authored the Taoteching. Red Pine is one of the world's foremost translators of Chinese literary and religious texts. His books include The Heart Sutra, Poems of the Masters, and a collection of all the known poems by the mountain hermit Han Shan, The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain.

Beyond the War on Invasive Species
Author: Tao Orion
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603585648
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Invasive species are everywhere, from forests and prairies to mountaintops and river mouths. Their rampant nature and sheer numbers appear to overtake fragile native species and forever change the ecosystems that they depend on. Concerns that invasive species represent significant threats to global biodiversity and ecological integrity permeate conversations from schoolrooms to board rooms, and concerned citizens grapple with how to rapidly and efficiently manage their populations. These worries have culminated in an ongoing “war on invasive species,” where the arsenal is stocked with bulldozers, chainsaws, and herbicides put to the task of their immediate eradication. In Hawaii, mangrove trees (Avicennia spp.) are sprayed with glyphosate and left to decompose on the sandy shorelines where they grow, and in Washington, helicopters apply the herbicide Imazapyr to smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) growing in estuaries. The “war on invasive species” is in full swing, but given the scope of such potentially dangerous and ecologically degrading eradication practices, it is necessary to question the very nature of the battle. Beyond the War on Invasive Species offers a much-needed alternative perspective on invasive species and the best practices for their management based on a holistic, permaculture-inspired framework. Utilizing the latest research and thinking on the changing nature of ecological systems, Beyond the War on Invasive Species closely examines the factors that are largely missing from the common conceptions of invasive species, including how the colliding effects of climate change, habitat destruction, and changes in land use and management contribute to their proliferation. There is more to the story of invasive species than is commonly conceived, and Beyond the War on Invasive Species offers ways of understanding their presence and ecosystem effects in order to make more ecologically responsible choices in land restoration and biodiversity conservation that address the root of the invasion phenomenon. The choices we make on a daily basis—the ways we procure food, shelter, water, medicine, and transportation—are the major drivers of contemporary changes in ecosystem structure and function; therefore, deep and long-lasting ecological restoration outcomes will come not just from eliminating invasive species, but through conscientious redesign of these production systems.
