Book Description
Discover why people like Russel Simmons Jr, Jennifer Aniston, Phil Jackson and Brad Pitt all incorporate the life-changing practice of Buddhism into their lives. Mindfulness meditation is everywhere these days, from the therapy couch to the Google campus, from prisons to athletic events. But what are the origins of this surge in mindfulness? What kind of worldview and lifestyle went along with these ancient techniques of meditative training? And, beyond the questionable metaphysics and well-worn pop-psychology bromides, what is meditation actually for? This book explores the Buddhist ideas behind the mindfulness techniques that have seen such a groundswell of popularity. It covers meditation not just as a body of techniques for relaxation and stress relief to accessorize our busy modern lives, but as part of a radical system of self-transformation that offers the possibility of profound liberation. In this book, the Buddhist system and the ideas behind it are presented, not as a religion that's asking for your allegiance, but as a body of theory and practice geared towards fostering an an inner revolution. Buddhism for beginners will teach you: The worldview underpinning Buddhist meditation techniques, and what those techniques were actually intended for. The principles that guide a life lived genuinely, gracefully, and compassionately. What meditation is all about in the context of the Buddhist path, and how to get into the practice of working with your mind. A surprising vision of the self, the mind, and the nature of human experience that can fundamentally alter the way you look at the world. Don't hesitate.

It starts out pretty slow paced introducing a bunch of concepts related to Buddhism before moving towards meditation and the like. It sucked me in right away and I continued flipping page after page nonstop. Reading in a quiet room sure helped and I felt this great sense of calmness. It's pretty amazing!" "If you are beginning to practice Buddhism or are contemplating doing so, this book is a great place to start. It is the perfect book to give to friends or family members who are not familiar with Buddhism but want to understand your newfound spirituality. This book was extremely easy for me to understand and I fully as though the concepts presented were something that I could begin to apply now and by my own unaided strength.

Feeling overwhelmed by your life? Struggling with anxiety about your daily tasks? Discover how mindfulness can make a difference in your life right now! Life is riddled with a seemingly never ending and unshakable misery. After solving one problem or accomplishing one task, you are off grappling with the next. Even vacations can't seem to alleviate the stress, because at the back of your head you are thinking how your money would have been better spent on investments because who knows what might happen in the future? The problem with misery is that it breeds the self's worst possible enemy: the self. When the mind harbors worries, problems, and a sense of hopelessness, it cultivates unnecessary burdens such as stress, anxiety and depression. And if left unaddressed, this could deepen and crush the spirit of an unsuspecting individual. The reason why you're looking at this book right now is to help relieve yourself from these strong, negative feelings. You wish to know how to meditate and what benefits you can earn from it. Well, this book offers more than knowledge. Even if it's difficult, it tries to impart wisdom because being practical entails being purposeful. This book holds an unconventional approach in guiding you through meditation. Most other book will tell you what to do and how to do it, but seldom will tell you why you should do it. There is the obvious answer of relieving oneself of stress, anxiety and depression, but the reader must understand that by practicing meditation, he opts to dig deeper. Hence, there is an expanded list of topics thoroughly discussed in this book. You'll learn: ✓ The Basics of Meditation ✓ Analytical Meditation ✓ What is Zazen ✓ Settled Meditation ✓ Understanding the Source of Stress, Anxiety and Depression ✓ Which are the Benefits of Meditation ✓ Some Frequently Asked Questions Mindfulness Buddhism: Your Practical and Easy Guide to Be Peaceful, Relieve Stress, Anxiety and Depression Right Now will have an immediate and positive impact in you daily life, providing you practical ways to lasting changes if practiced regularly.

The Book of Chakras
Author: Ambika Wauters
Publisher: B.E.S. Publishing
ISBN: 9780764121074
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Understanding chakras is an effective first step in harnessing every human being's hidden life-changing energies and employing inner powers for spiritual and physical healing. The word chakra originated with the Vedic teachings of ancient India. It comes from the Sanskrit word for "wheel of light," and denotes the energy centers that exist in every man and woman. The Book of Chakras explores the nature of these energy sources, explains where they dwell in each of us, and instructs on how to use them. The author identifies seven energy centers in the human body. The Root Chakra, located in the lower torso, anchors us in life. From that point on the rising ladder of love and healing, we become aware of the Sacral Chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, the Heart Chakra, the Throat Chakra, the Brow or Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra. The last, the Crown Chakra, located in the head, is the most refined and spiritual center in the human energy system. Chakra teachings describe seven bodies that make up every person's aura. They are the Physical, Etheric, Astral, Mental, Divine, Spiritual, and Soul bodies. Chakra teachings say that each of these bodies vibrates in ways that are allied to the colors of the universe. However, only one of these bodies, the Physical, is visible. When we understand these bodies in detail, we become able to correct chakra imbalances and harness our powers for peaceful and productive living. The author advises on ways of restoring balances, healing through the power of thought, and employing colors, sounds, crystals, acupuncture, and other means. More than 300 color illustrations.

Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha
Author: Daniel Ingram
Publisher: Aeon Books
ISBN: 1780498152
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 729
Book Description
The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.

Book Description
The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight.
