Three Steps to Awakening A Practice for Bringing Mindfulness to Life Larry Rosenberg, Laura Zimmerman
Summary A unique three•phase model for meditation practice that ties together elements of the various Buddhist traditions and that is remarkably adaptable to modern life and changing situations.
This book represents the distillation of Larry Rosenberg's more than forty years of teaching. Drawing on the various Buddhist traditions in which he has practiced, he describes three subtly different but complementary forms of meditation practice: (1) breath awareness, (2) breath as anchor, and (3) choiceless awareness. Having the three methods in one's repertoire gives one meditation resources for any life situation. In a time of stress, for example, one might use breath awareness exclusively. Or on an extended retreat, one might find choiceless awareness more appropriate. The three• step method has been taught to Larry's students at the Cambridge Meditation Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for many years. After teaching the three• step method, Larry goes on to show how to bring the awareness gained in meditation Shambhala to the world off the cushion, into relationships and into all areas of daily life. 9781590305164 Pub Date: 12/3/13 Author Bio On Sale Date: 12/3/13 LARRY ROSENBERG is founder and resident teacher of the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center in Cambridge, $15.95/$17.95 Can.

{SHAMBHALA} The Power of Divine Eros The Illuminating Force of Love in Everyday Life A. H. Almaas, Karen Johnson
Summary An innovative spiritual teacher shows how to use desire and passion as a gateway to realizing our full potential.
What do desire and passion have to do with the spiritual life? They are an essential component of it, according to A. H. Almaas and Karen Johnson. Most spiritual teachings take the position that desire, wanting, and passion are opposed to the spiritual path. The concern is that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into the mundane, into the physical, and into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens. We naturally tend to experience wanting in a self• centered way. The Power of Divine Eros explores how to be passionate and to feel a strong wanting without that desire being in conflict with selfless love. It also shows how relationships with others are an important part of the human journey• an opportunity to express oneself authentically and be present with someone else. Through understanding the energy of eros, each of us can learn to be fully real and alive in all our interactions.
Shambhala In the words of the authors, "Any spiritual work involves the element of love, whether explicitly or implicitly. What we 9781611800838 Pub Date: 9/17/13 want to explore is how the energy and quality of love explicitly open the door to reality and to our deeper nature. The On Sale Date: 9/17/13 portal is there for every human being to open; each of us can be fully real and alive in all our interactions. And the $18.95/$21.95 Can. erotic, as it is felt and experienced in the body, is a part of that openness, whether it becomes sexual or not. For many Paperback / softback / reasons, eros has become separated from the pure and the holy, and as a result, it is usually relegated to the domain of Trade paperback (US) the gross and unrefined. But eros is the energy of the divine. As such, it is always divine and pure."
240 pages Carton Qty: 0 Through guided exercises, the authors invite the reader to connect to the pure energy behind their desire. When we Psychology / Personality allow ourselves to fully experience our wanting, the authors suggest, and we trust that the wanting itself has the PSY023000 intelligence to reveal the pure energy of desire that underlies it, we get a taste of what it's like to feel love and desire as Territory: World a unified force. Being in the world in a way that does not separate us from spirit, while also feeling the pleasure of our energy, our erotic nature, our aliveness and love, makes life complete.

{SHAMBHALA} Feeling Wisdom Working with Emotions Using Buddhist Teachings and Western Psychology Rob Preece
Summary A psychologist and longtime practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism shows how emotions relate to spiritual practice•that our feeling life is truly at the heart of our awakening.
The realm of emotion is one of those areas where Buddhism and Western psychology are often thought to be at odds: Are emotions to be valued, examined, worked with as signs leading us to deeper self• knowledge? Or are they something to be ignored and avoided as soon as we recognize them? Rob Preece feels that neither of those extremes is correct. He charts a path through the emotions as they relate to Buddhist practice, showing that though emotions are indeed "skandhas" (elements that make up the illusory self) according to the Buddhist teaching, there is a good deal to be learned from these skandhas, and paying attention to their content contributes not only to psychological health but to deep insight into the nature of reality. He draws on his own experiences with emotions and meditation, through both his training in Tibetan Buddhism and psychotherapy, to Shambhala show how working with emotions can be a complement to meditation practice. 9781611801682 Pub Date: 1/13/15 Author Bio On Sale Date: 1/13/15 ROB PREECE is a contemplative psychotherapist who's been practicing analysis for twenty years and Buddhism $17.95/$21.50 Can.

Home Grown Adventures in Parenting off the Beaten Path, Unschooling, and Reconnecting with the Natural World Ben Hewitt
Summary
When Ben Hewitt and his wife bought a sprawling acreage of field and forest in northern Vermont, the landscape easily allowed them to envision the self• sustaining family farm they were eager to start. But over the years, the land became so much more than a building site; it became the birthplace of their two sons, the main source of family income and food, and ultimately, both classroom and home for their children. Having opted out of formal education, Hewitt's sons learn through self• directed play, exploration, and experimentation on their farm, in the woods, and (reluctantly) indoors. This approach has allowed the boys to develop confidence, resourcefulness, and creativity. They learn, they play, they read, they test boundaries, they challenge themselves, they fail, they recover. And these freedoms allow their innate personalities to flourish, further fueling growth and exploration. Living in tune with the natural world teaches us to reclaim our passion, curiosity, and connectivity.
