Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Celebrated yoga teacher and activist Seane Corn shares pivotal accounts of her life with raw honestyenriched with in-depth spiritual teachingsto help us heal, evolve, and change the world My first lessons in spirituality and yoga had nothing to do with a mat, but everything to do with waking up. They included angels, seeing God, and being in Heaven. But, believe me, not the way you might think. So begins Revolution of the Soul. What comes next reads like a riveting memoir filled with uncensored moments of joy, pain, wonder, and humor. Except, this book is so much more than that. Seane's real purpose is to guide us into a deep, gut-level understanding of our highest Self through yoga philosophy and other tools for emotional healingnot just as abstract ideas but as embodied, fully felt wisdom. Why? To spark a "revolution of the soul" in each of us, so we can awaken to our purpose and become true agents of change. Just a few of the stops along the way include: The everyday "angels" Seane finds in the gritty corners of New York's 1980s East Village; her early struggles as a total yoga-class misfit; the profound shadow work and body-based practices that helped her to heal childhood trauma, OCD, unhealthy behaviors, and relationship wounding; hard-earned lessons from some of the most heartbreaking places on the planet; and many other unforgettable teaching stories.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. We may long for wholeness, suggests Jon Kabat-Zinn, but the truth is that it is already here and already ours. The practice of mindfulness holds the possibility of not just a fleeting sense of contentment, but a true embracing of a deeper unity that envelops and permeates our lives. With Mindfulness for Beginners you are invited to learn how to transform your relationship to the way you think, feel, love, work, and play-and thereby awaken to and embody more completely who you really are. Here, the teacher, scientist, and clinician who first demonstrated the benefits of mindfulness within mainstream Western medicine offers a book that you can use in three unique ways: as a collection of reflections and practices to be opened and explored at random; as an illuminating and engaging start-to-finish read; or as an unfolding lesson- a-day primer on mindfulness practice. Beginning and advanced meditators alike will discover in these pages a valuable distillation of the key attitudes and essential practices that Jon Kabat-Zinn has found most useful with his students, including: Why heartfulness is synonymous with true mindfulness The value of coming back to our bodies and to our senses over and over again How our thoughts self-liberate when touched by awareness Moving beyond our story into direct experience Stabilizing our attention and presence amidst daily activities The three poisons that cause suffering-and their antidotes How mindfulness heals, even after the fact Reclaiming our wholeness, and more The prescription for living a more mindful life seems simple enough: return your awareness again and again to whatever is going on. But if you've tried it, you know that here is where all the questions and challenges really begin. Mindfulness for Beginners provides welcome answers, insights, and instruction to help us make that shift, moment by moment, into a more spacious, clear, reliable, and loving connection with ourselves and the world. Includes a complete CD with five guided mindfulness meditations by Jon Kabat-Zinn, selected from the audio program that inspired this book.

Compact Disc. Condition: new. Compact Disc. Mobilizing the Mind-Body Connection for Healing Your SkinHow to use this CDIf you have psoriasis, you may find this CD helpful in mobilizing and maximizing your innate capacities of mind and body to enhance healing and the clearing of your skin. This guided meditation CD is meant to be "done" rather than simply passively listened to. That means following along with the guidance as best you can and practicing what is suggested from moment to moment as well as in the stretches of silence. This meditative process invites your full participation and engagement in following the guidance in the mindfulness instructions and in the visualization. It is suggested that you practice with Mindfulness Meditation for People with Psoriasis at least once a day for a period of at least eight weeks.A note on the background of this program, from Jon Kabat-ZinnA scientific study using these mindfulness meditation practices and guided imagery in combination with simultaneous phototherapy or photochemotherapy treatments showed that people with moderate to severe psoriasis who listened to this kind of CD while they were in the light box had their skin clear approximately four times as fast as people who just got the light treatment alone [Kabat-Zinn, Wheeler, Light, et al: Psychosomatic Medicine (1998) 60:625-632].Mindfulness Meditation for People with Psoriasis utilizes the same mind-body techniques used by the patients in that study, but here, they are adapted for use at home without the simultaneous phototherapy treatments. Because we have not studied the use of these meditative practices without the ultraviolet light treatments in a controlled clinical trial, we do not know for certain whether practicing with this CD by itself, without the simultaneous ultraviolet light exposure, will produce the same level of increase in the rate of skin clearing as we saw when these methods were used in combination with ultraviolet light. Nevertheless, practicing with this CD in a consistent manner may be beneficial, both for its potential positive effects on your skin, and also for the overall stress reduction benefits derived from mindfulness meditative practices in general. These benefits have been documented for thousands of medical patients referred by their doctors to our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Clinic, who use similar guided mindfulness meditation practice CDs daily over a period of eight weeks.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An experiential guide for exploring the convergence of psychological healing and spiritual awakening that happens most clearly and powerfully in the depths of the heart"The Deep Heart is what I call a living book, that rare gem of a book that is alive with the presence of its author . . . A book like this should be felt and experienced as much as it should be read." -AdyashantiThe great human quest is to discover who we really are-a discovery that changes our lives and the lives of those around us. With The Deep Heart, spiritual teacher and psychotherapist Dr. John J. Prendergast invites us on a pilgrimage within, using the heart as a portal to our deepest psychological and spiritual nature.The "deep heart" is Prendergast's term for our heart center-a subtle center of emotional and energetic sensitivity, relational intimacy, profound inner knowing, and unconditional love. "The heart area is where we feel most deeply touched by kindness, gratitude, and appreciation, yet it is also where we feel most emotionally wounded," writes Prendergast. "Whether we realize it or not, the heart is what we most carefully guard and most want to open."Throughout The Deep Heart, Prendergast expertly combines the boundaried wisdom of psychotherapy with a spacious, embodied path to liberation, bringing attention to both the joys and pitfalls of each approach with the compassion of a friend who's walked the path for decades.In this experiential guide, Prendergast invites you to tune into your inherent wisdom, love, and wholeness as you journey into the deep heart. Through precise and potent meditative inquiries, insightful stories, and reflections drawn from Prendergast's intimate work with students and clients, you'll begin to open your heart, see through your core limiting beliefs, and discover the true nature of your being.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of TraumaImagine, if you will, a disease-one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma's effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.You will discover:. The different post-trauma syndromes, how they are classified, and their common symptoms. An examination of how for-profit health care systems can inhibit diagnosis and treatment of trauma. How social crises and political turmoil encourage the spread of group trauma. Methods for confronting and managing your fears as they arise in the moment. How trauma disrupts mental processes such as memory, emotional regulation, and logical decision-making. The argument for a renewed humanist social commitment to mental health and wellnessIt's only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable. After many years of medical practice, Dr. Paul Conti realized something truly alarming: many of his patients' conditions were not only exacerbated by lifelong trauma, but caused by it. In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti traces how trauma arises, why it's important that it be treated as an international health crisis, and the possible antidotes to its spread.
