    Ayurveda: Health for Body and Mind Featuring the Doshi Family Bridgebuilder Award and Lecture, honoring John Hagelin, Ph.D. October 6-7, 2017 Loyola Marymount University Program Friday, Oct. 6 1:30 p.m. | Introduction and Welcome Robbin D. Crabtree, Ph.D., Dean of Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts; Christopher Key Chapple, Ph.D.; and Nirinjan Khalsa, Ph.D. Health and Healing in Jainism and Sikhism 2 p.m. | Healing Mantras in Jainism: Bhaktamar Ellen Gough, Ph.D., Emory University; Manju Jain, Ph.D.; and Amressh Mehta, Ph.D. The recitation of the Bhaktamar Mantra has been employed as a Jaina healing technique, gaining popularity in the 18th century. This session will approach this practice from historical and clinical perspectives. 3 p.m. | The Living Vitality of Your Authentic Self Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, Ph.D. Health care providers seek to address problems of illness and suffering. To elevate the experience of health recovery, it is important for the healer to stay well in the process.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

    His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Founder, Maharishi School MAHARISHI SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES Dr. Bevan Morris Chairman of the Board Camille Jorgensen Bill Goldstein Sam Lieb Shelley Gratzon Janet Nichols Richard Hobbs Craig Pearson Peter Huggins Chet Swanson Chris Jones Susan Tracy 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR It has been an extraordinary joy to carry the message of Maharishi School and Consciousness-BasedSM education around the world during the last year and a half. What we have encountered everywhere is the idea that education is primarily a path to the goal of getting a job – a very partial understanding compared with Maharishi’s vision of complete education, which is capable of enriching each student with the fruit of all knowledge, the ability to live with the full support of nature, free from mistakes and suffering. Often we met with students whose experience of education has been dominated by an ideal of long hours spent in study, memorizing facts and formulas. They have grown up with the idea that the harder they work and the more drudgery they can withstand, the greater their success will be. It’s quite amazing for them to hear about the enormous successes our students enjoy year after year in absolutely Dr. Ashley Deans everything they undertake, without any drudgery at all. And when they hear that Director, they too can work less hard and achieve even more, they can’t stop smiling. Maharishi School The foundation of our success is Maharishi’s simple insight into the three-fold structure of education: the knower, the known, and the process of knowing.

  • Yoga and the Heart
    Yoga and the Heart Compiled by: Trisha Lamb Last Revised: April 27, 2006 © 2004 by International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) International Association of Yoga Therapists P.O. Box 2513 • Prescott • AZ 86302 • Phone: 928-541-0004 E-mail: [email protected] • URL: www.iayt.org The contents of this bibliography do not provide medical advice and should not be so interpreted. Before beginning any exercise program, see your physician for clearance. “When most people think about yoga they think hatha yoga, the stretching. To me that’s the least interesting aspect of yoga. It’s useful, but it’s a starting point. What yoga is really about is transformation. It’s about transforming your life, rediscovering inner sources of peace and joy and well-being, transcending the sense that we’re just separate. On one level you’re you and I’m me; on another level, we’re part of something larger that connects us. If we can have that double vision, it lends itself to compassion and altruism and service, as opposed to blowing people up and feeling like you’re different from them. What we’re really trying to do is more than just helping people lose weight or even unclogging their arteries or helping them live longer, as important and desirable as those goals can be. It’s really kind of a conspiracy of love, because ultimately that’s what we’re here for.” —Dean Ornish, M.D. Developer of the heart disease reversal program that incorporates yogâsana, prânâyâma, and meditation Ades, P.
