Book Description
We all need to find connection and meaning in the midst of the fast paced world we live in and rituals offer an easy and simple way to do this. In this 365 year-long exploration, Theresa Cheung offers daily practices to help us bring focus and attention to our lives for meaningful and achievable change. A ritual is any action we take that has meaning beyond its appearance; by giving an action intention it becomes 'sacred' and purposeful. The absence of significant ceremony in our lives has left us feeling disconnected, confused and alone Rituals and ceremony allow us to be present in the now, focus on the future and provide us with closure on the past, they return us to what matters. Drawing on science and psychology, Theresa Cheung's 365 non-denominational rituals will help anyone to transform their lives. Split into four sections, the book begins with 21 simple foundation rituals to help you ground your daily practice. The second and largest section is broken down into 4 areas: Body, Mind, Spirit and Heart. Each containing 74 rituals, some simple and some more complex. Choose the area you feel you want to focus on and follow the rituals in sequence or chose as you wish. The third section has a four-week programme focussing on success and broken down week-by-week and the final section contains 21 closing rituals. For those wanting a year long programme the book can be used day-by-day or alternatively choose a ritual at random.

21 Rituals to Change Your Life
Author: Theresa Cheung
Publisher: Watkins Media Limited
ISBN: 1780289111
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Aristotle said 'you are what you repeatedly do'. Most of us have no idea that what we repeatedly do creates our lives, we think our future is shaped by big events, the decisions we make, the thoughts we have but, this book will show you that it is your daily actions that are the key. Over the last few decades neuroscientists and psychologists have discovered that there is more power in 'I do' than 'I think'. However, if an action is repeated enough times it becomes habit but habits lack thought, consideration and presence. To effect long-lasting meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense of personal meaning and power – they need to be ritualized. Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this book have been designed as symbolic acts providing a framework for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The 7 morning rituals are designed to help you 'wake with determination', the 7 afternoon rituals focus on 'living on purpose', and the 7 evening rituals are about 'retiring with satisfaction'.

Ritual Soundings
Author: Sarah Weiss
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252051130
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The women of communities in Hindu India and Christian Orthodox Finland alike offer lamentations and mockery during wedding rituals. Catholic women of southern Italy perform tarantella on pilgrimages while Muslim Berger girls recite poetry at Moroccan weddings. Around the world, women actively claim agency through performance during such ritual events. These moments, though brief, allow them a rare freedom to move beyond culturally determined boundaries. In Ritual Soundings, Sarah Weiss reads deeply into and across the ethnographic details of multiple studies while offering a robust framework for studying music and world religion. Her meta-ethnography reveals surprising patterns of similarity between unrelated cultures. Deftly blending ethnomusicology, the study of gender in religion, and sacred music studies, she invites ethnomusicologists back into comparative work, offering them encouragement to think across disciplinary boundaries. As Weiss delves into a number of less-studied rituals, she offers a forceful narrative of how women assert agency within institutional religious structures while remaining faithful to the local cultural practices the rituals represent.

Who Will Water the Flowers?
Author: CADET #271 (Louis F. Horner)
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457545055
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
aThe author invites you to embark on a journey to provoke your thinking about friendship, opportunity, and race relations in America. This may take you in a direction you had not previously considered as you navigate the course of your own life. Resetting your own sails may reap rewards. The author’s inspiration to write came from a startling spiritual experience, which he describes in “The Awakening.” This led to introspection and an urgent sense that a story must be told. More than twenty years passed before he understood the specifics of why, what, and when he was to write. He tells of his 2002 epiphany and a story spanning three-quarters of a century. Mr. Horner tells a story of overcoming adversity and making a full life beyond what his racial and family background might predict. He tells a story of working-class boys from divergent roots building lifelong bonds beginning in military college. Everyone has a story. In telling his, Mr. Horner answers the question, Who will water the flowers? Testimonial As a PMC cadet of the class of 1963, I found the book a compelling read. Many of the stories by the class of ‘62 relate and resonate with my experiences and without speculation probably to PMC cadets at large. The complex thoughts of ‘ boys to men’, strangers who through leadership subsumed their individual needs for the greater good of a brotherhood of men. This is a complex formula for those who have not been in the cauldron, the formative chemistry of all of us, good and bad. To me the most compelling aspect of the book was the author’s journey though life and the role of PMC friendship, mentorship, and leadership played in his life’s journey. The lessons learned of this journey may help us set the course to make our great nation better. General John H. Tillie, USA, Retired

INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER FINALIST for the 2021 National Jewish Book Awards SHORTLISTED for the 2022 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize A collection of funny personal essays from one of the writers of Superbad and Pineapple Express and one of the producers of The Disaster Artist, Neighbors, and The Boys. (All of these words have been added to help this book show up in people’s searches using the wonders of algorithmic technology. Thanks for bearing with us!) Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my book, Yearbook, for the inside flap (which is a gross phrase) and for websites and shit like that, so… here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like. I also talk about some of my adventures in Los Angeles, and surely say things about other famous people that will create a wildly awkward conversation for me at a party one day. I hope you enjoy the book should you buy it, and if you don’t enjoy it, I’m sorry. If you ever see me on the street and explain the situation, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.
