The Power of Your Spirit
Sonia Choquette
PB AUD17.95
|
|
Losing our connection
with Spirit may be the biggest problem we suffer
from today.
We want to face our
challenges and disappointment with grace; be creative
and inspired; feel excited by a purpose and live
fearlessly through an intuitive, guiding wisdom.
We want to love and feel loved and realise genuine
peace . . . but as much as we desire a significant
spiritual breakthrough and long to know our Divine
selves, we're still not making the commitment
that will ensure our success.
We want the gifts,
but we're not engaging in the practical work necessary
to obtain them, so we remain stuck and more frustrated
than ever. We know a lot about the power of Spirit,
yet we aren't actually experiencing it. And we
cannot do so through intellectual pursuits alone.
In fact, we can only
experience it through a deep, intentional daily
practice of connecting with Spirit. When you truly
make this connection, you'll realise that it's
the most authentic, lasting power you have in
your life.
In this book, spiritual
teacher Sonia Choquette will show you that even
though you can't control the outside world, with
the power of your Spirit, you can create a sense
of purpose within that brings about profound contentment
and personal peace - no matter what is going on
around you.

Thomas Berry: Dreamer
of the Earth
Ervin Laszlo and Allan Combs
(Editors)
PB AUD22.95
|
|
The essays in this book are a tribute
to the visionary contributions and prophetic writings
of Thomas Berry, spiritual ecologist and father
of environmentalism. There are 10 essays by eminent
philosophers, thinkers, and scientists in the
field of ecology and sustainability, including
Matthew Fox, Joanna Macy, Duane Elgin, Sean Esbjorn-Hargens,
Ervin Laszlo, and Allan Combs.
When cultural historian and spiritual
ecologist Thomas Berry, described by Newsweek
magazine as "the most provocative figure
among the new breed of eco-theologians,"
passed away in 2009 at age 94, he left behind
a dream of healing the "Earth community."
In his numerous lectures, books, and essays, Berry
proclaimed himself a scholar of the earth, a "geologian,"
and diligently advocated for a return to Earth-based
spirituality.
Revealing Berry's insights as far
ahead of their time, these essays reiterate the
radical nature of his ideas and the urgency of
his most important conclusion: that money and
technology cannot solve our problems, rather,
we must reestablish the indigenous connection
with universal consciousness and return to our
fundamental spontaneous nature in order to navigate
our ecological challenges successfully.

Slow Sex
Diana Richardson
PB AUD25.95
|
|
While fast, hot, orgasm-driven sex
can bring momentary satisfaction, in the long
run it can become boring and mechanical, causing
many couples to lose interest and stop making
time for physical intimacy.
The first step to revive a waning
sex life or make a healthy one more fulfilling,
says author Diana Richardson, is to make sex a
conscious decision rather than an accidental encounter.
Focusing on eye contact, subtle sensations, and
deep breathing, Diana's practice of slow sex awakens
the body's innate mechanism for ecstasy, unlocking
the door to extraordinary realms of sensitivity,
sensuality, and higher consciousness.
Exploring the healing, spiritual
power of slow sex, this book offers a step-by-step
guide for committed couples to transform sex into
a meditative, loving union of complementary energies.
It explains how slow sex increases sensitivity
and sexual vitality and how, because it creates
and restores love, slow sex is loving sex.
With a focus on coolness rather
than heat, this practice provides couples a way
to reach a shared meditative state and use it
as a vehicle to achieve higher consciousness.
Illustrating different positions for eye contact,
deep sustained penetration, and soft penetration,
this book reveals that sex truly can be sustainable
and enjoyable well into old age.

Depth Psychology, and Phenomenology, the

silence, exploring the phenomenon as a source

The Four Purposes
of Your Life
Dan Millman
HC AUD26.95
|
|
For many of us, life seems
like a puzzle with pieces missing. We form
plans and change them; we choose one path,
then another, trying to find the right mate
and career, hoping we've made the right
decision and that it will work out.
At some point, we may even
ask the important questions: What is the
purpose of my life? How shall I spend it?
This book provides some answers to bring
your life into sharper focus.
First, we need to understand
that we are here to fulfil not one but four
fundamental purposes: 1. Learning Life's
Lessons 2. Finding Your Career and Calling
3. Fulfilling Your Hidden Life Path 4. Attending
to This Arising Moment.
The Four Purposes of Life
was born from Dan Millman's decades-long
search to make sense of life. He distills
decades of experience into a concise map
of the journey, the full scope of what we're
each here to accomplish here on planet Earth.
