True Meditation by Adyashanti

ADYASHANTI

Experience the Freedom of Meditation Beyond Technique

What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose? In the 14 years that he studied Zen, Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators had used the practice as a means to a goal they never reached. Ultimately he realized that only when you let go of all techniques - even the concept of yourself as a meditator - will you open to the art of true meditation: dwelling in the natural state. True Meditation invites you to join the growing number of seekers who have been touched by the wisdom of Adyashanti to learn:

  • How to make the "effortless effort" that will vivify the present moment
  • Meditative self-inquiry and "The Way of Subtraction": how to ask a spiritually powerful question - and determine the real answer
  • Three guided meditations intended to reveal what Adyashanti calls "your home as awareness itself"

"We've been taught that awakening is difficult", explains Adyashanti, "that to wake up from the illusion of separation takes years. But all it really takes is a willingness to look into the depths of your experience here and now". True Meditation gives you the opportunity to reclaim the original purpose of meditation - as a gateway to "the objectless freedom of being".

Real Life Rituals by Karyl Huntley

REAL LIFE RITUALS

By Karyl Huntley

The pivotal events of our lives go by largely uncelebrated: children pass into adulthood, two people become parents, a family moves to a new home. Karyl Huntley's Real Life Rituals is a hands-on guide that offers you a way to celebrate the significant moments and passages of life. Designed to be adapted for large groups or parties of one, Huntley's rituals include spiritually grounded ways to:
  • Celebrate the birth of a child
  • Honor a school graduate
  • Bless a new home
  • Commemorate an anniversary
  • Release or enhance romantic relationships

Real Life Rituals also provides celebrations for those special times of the year -- solistices, equinoxes, and holidays -- that have been acknowledged by people through the ages.

Real Life Rituals -- a powerful, timeless, and joyous opportunity to genuinely experience the times of your life.
Inner Peace by Steven Halpern

Inner Peace

by Steven Halpern

Millions of us have discovered the blessings of using healing and relaxing music to nurture and support our physical and spiritual well-being. INNER PEACE is how listeners describe the mood created by this atmospheric tone poem.

Listen... and you may notice that you're breathing more deeply and slowly ... that your body feels a bit 'lighter' ... and that you're reconnecting with the oasis of peace that exists within each of us.

The sustained deep tones and scintillating highter frequencies orchestrate a subtle energy field of love and pure listening pleasure. This award-winning composer's music will relax your body, quiet your mind, and soothe your soul, today and for years to come.

Play the music softly in the background, and enjoy it as 'sonic incense' for yoga, massage, and relaxation. Listen with headphones, and the exquisite tonal textures and lush orchestration transport you even more effectively to a place that feels like home.

Global Peace Flags


Inspire and Promote Peace! New Mini flags in English: a thoughtful, unique gift. This small size is perfect for so many places. Five flags, 6" x 8" each, 100% cotton, hemmed and on a cord. Handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal. Includes a card with prayer flag traditions.

West Wind Flags are created in the spirit of the ancient Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Flags that are hung in the mountains of Tibet and throughout Nepal. Flying on rooftops of homes and monasteries, from bridges and trees in the countryside, they offer blessings on the wind. This beautiful tradition dates back to the 10th century.

As the flags wave in the wind, the colors fade, and so the prayers are lifted and carried around the world. Prayer flags are hung with respect and intention to celebrate new beginnings: a new relationship, a new home, a birth, a new journey and always the New Year! They help insure luck and success for new ventures. When they are tattered and worn out, it is customary to burn them. May they benefit all beings.

      How Can I Help? by Ram Dass and Paul Gorman

      How Can I Help?

      Stories and Reflections on Service

      by Ram Dass and Paul Gorman

      *** This is a book to accompany Spirit is Calling for September 2008

      Not a day goes by without our being called upon to help one another - at home, at work, on the street, on the phone... We do what we can. Yet so much comes up to complicate this natural response: "Will I have what it takes?" "How much is enough?" "How can I deal with suffering?" "And what really helps, anyway?"

      In this practical helper's companion, the authors explore a path through these confusions and provide support and inspiration for us in our efforts as volunteers, as members of the helping professions, or simply as friends and family trying to meet each other's needs. Here too are deeply moving personal accounts: A housewife brings animals to lift the spirits of nursing home residents; a police officer talks a desperate father out of leaping from a roof with his child; a nurse allows an infant to spend its last moments of life in her arms rather than on a hospital machine. From many such stories and the authors' reflections, we can find strength, clarity, and wisdom for those times when we are called on to care for one another. How Can I Help? reminds us just how much we have to give and how doing so can lead to some of the most joyous moments of our lives.

      The Power of a BROKEN-OPEN HEART

      Life-Affirming Wisdom from the Dying


      by Julie Interrante, MA

      Foreword by Hugh Prather

      What if life, beneath the surface, were composed of a series of transitions with the potential to break open our hearts? And what if our broken-open hearts could ease our approach to living?

      Building on her decades of work in hospital and hospice care, in this illuminating book Julie Inerttante weaves together insights from those facing great challenge with her own discoveries to reveal the importance of embracing pain. Whether sparked by the loss of a friend or loved one, a pet or long-held belief, a job or a marriage, a home and community, or physical capacity, pain breaks open the heart, catalyzing great courage, trust, and creativity for living life joyfully. It also heightens our attunement to nature's cycle of seasons, as well as our own, which moves us full tilt into our living and eventually into our dying.

      The Power of a Broken-Open Heart is not an instruction manual. Nor is it a set of religious guidelines. Rather, it is a down-to-earth exploration of vulnerability and change. Ultimately it offers a new lens on life's gift of transitions.
