Publisher's Summary:

"If you're depressed, you're living in the past. If you're anxious, you're living in the future. If you're at peace, you're living in the present." (Lao Tzu)

Have you ever noticed how all of us go through life in a mechanical and robotic manner? Do you feel you have lost control over your thoughts and actions? All our daily duties are just performed on auto mode, and most of the time we aren't really even consciously aware of what we are doing.

If you, too, wish to live a peaceful and content life, it is essential that you live in the present moment.

If you are willing to change your life and ready to take action toward living a life you deserve, Mindfulness for Beginners is the book for you.

Mindfulness is the state of being conscious or aware of something. It is about being present in the current moment and not dreaming about the future or reminiscing about the past. It is about being aware of exactly what you're doing spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Jason Andreas walks you through the basics of mindfulness practice and gives you a simple, seven-step approach to incorporate these practices into your daily life that can help you become an overall happier and more content human being.

What you'll learn in Mindfulness for Beginners:

If you truly wish to enjoy life, you need to live in the now, understand yourself, keep yourself grounded, and eliminate negative energy from your life.

Publisher's Summary:

Discover why people like Russell Simmons Jr., Jennifer Aniston, Phil Jackson, and Brad Pitt all incorporate the life-changing practice of Buddhism into their lives.

Mindfulness meditation is everywhere these days, from the therapy couch to the Google campus, from prisons to athletic events.

But what are the origins of this surge in mindfulness? What kind of worldview and lifestyle went along with these ancient techniques of meditative training? And, beyond the questionable metaphysics and well-worn pop-psychology bromides, what is meditation actually for?

This book explores the Buddhist ideas behind the mindfulness techniques that have seen such a groundswell of popularity. It covers meditation not just as a body of techniques for relaxation and stress relief to accessorize our busy modern lives, but as part of a radical system of self-transformation that offers the possibility of profound liberation.

In this book, the Buddhist system and the ideas behind it are presented not as a religion that's asking for your allegiance, but as a body of theory and practice geared toward fostering an inner revolution.

Buddhism for Beginners will teach you :

Don't hesitate. To start on a journey that could deeply transform how you relate to your world.

Publisher's Summary:

Derived from actual discussions and classes at the IYYUN Center, The Garden of Paradox is a primer on the essential philosophy of Kabbalah, presented as a series of three conversations, revealing the mysteries of Creator, Creation, and Consciousness.

With three representational students embodying, respectively, the philosopher, the activist, and the mystic, Rav DovBer Pinson tackles the larger questions of life.

Accessing the deepest secrets of Torah and Kabbalah, The Garden of Paradox helps us to find reason for the world we live in and the lives we have been given. Written in clear and concise prose, Rav DovBer Pinson gently guides the listener towards making sense of life's paradoxes and living meaningfully.

A comment on The Garden of Paradox, by Rabbi DoverBer Pinson

Rabbi DovBer Pinson is a contemporary sage who brings to bear in his own person the esoteric teachings of the great Jewish mystics and hasidic masters, on the one hand, and the commentaries of rabbinic scholars who have informed "normative Judaism" over the centuries, on the other. He raises up the meanings hidden in scriptural texts by bringing the mystical and scholarly wings of Jewish tradition to bear in elucidating them--and by something else, his attunement to what his students are experiencing in the presence of the unfolding of the mystery of sacred texts. Illuminating the spiritual riches of the text and lifting up his students occur simultaneously, thanks to his mediating between the entire range of the Tradition and his moment-to-moment awareness of his students' perplexities and revelations, which reach them through learning with him. I say this on the basis of my nine years of experience as his student. What makes The Garden of Paradox exceptional among his many works is that it adheres to the spiritual process intrinsic to his dialogue with students. In this book, he "strips away the outer layers of the Kabbalah that most conceal its core teachings" by orienting his teaching to three students, an intellectual or scholarly one, a doer of good deeds or social activist, and an introspective or mystical one. Here, writing "take the form of real-time dialogues, as conversations and exchanges that serve to highlight the Essential level of Kaballah." In this book, as at the table of Rav Pinson, the intertwining of exegesis and spiritual experiencing occur as a collaboration between the creativity and wisdom that teacher and students inspire in each other.

What's not to âï

I love the organization; the simple, to the point, easy to follow and recall display and wealth of info. Great for basic understanding and opening your curiosity to reiki and healing arts as well as crystals and aromatherapy. Definitely recommend if your a person who loves to learn, read, or just loves healing remedies and study. Enjoy. Thank You author for this publication.

Beginners book!

I am not a type of person who does meditations and so I am not informed much about this chakra thing. Through this book I was able to understand how this chakra works and influence our daily life. I was able to know and identify the energy source in our body and know the different techniques to balance my chakras. This really are for beginners as it explains everything you need to know to strengthen your chakras.

Good read, but wish there was more info.

I really don't feel that it had enough information. One example, it recommends you use aromatherapy but never lists what smells can be beneficial to your chakra. It definitely had some good info about which chakra controls what though and I would recommend this book to someone who doesn't know anything about their chakra, just be prepared to go do further research elsewhere.

Easy to read and very informative

I like how the book is organized. It flows in a logical direction. Each chakra is explained without too much extra elaboration. Then more attention is given toward he end. Great for someone who needs a quick overview about the functions of the chakras.

Five Stars

Nice explanation

Members Reviews:

NEEDS WORK

I enjoyed the information and content but sadly the narrator massacred the pronunciation of the Sanskrit words. From my prospective the content looses it credibility.

informative and straight forward

This book is very informative and presented clinically which I found VERY refreshing

Waste of Money - Unoriginal - Common Knowledge

What would have made Kundalini better?

This audiobook only regurgitates vague generalities about Kundalini found in other books. The book veers off the subject into completely unrelated areas. Seriously, a person could learn as much about Kundalini by reading the wikipedia entry on the subject. This audiobook essentially just parrots what is found there. I suggest if you want a real source for information on Kundalini Energy and meditation, consider works by Gopi Krishna. Don't waste your money here.

Equates Zen with Scientology Practice

Is there anything you would change about this book?

There is very very little about practicing Zen in daily life in the book, and that discussion is odd.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The author discusses the history of Buddhism.

Did F. C. McAllister do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

There were no characters. The narrator is good.

Do you think Zen: How to Practice Zen Everywhere in Your Daily Life needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

This author draws parallels between Zen and Scientology. The author treats Zen and Scientology "clear"practice as being equal. I found this jarring, and In light of it, I wouldn't trust anything that this author writes about Zen.

Any additional comments?

Very disappointing, possibly dishonest..

Title: Money, Sex, War, Karma

Subtitle: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution

Author: David R. Loy

Narrator: Elijah Alexander

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-12-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions

Publisher's Summary:

What's Wrong with Sex?

How to Drive Your Karma

Consciousness Commodified

The Karma of Food

The Three Poisons, Institutionalized

Why We Love War

These are just some of the chapters in this brilliant book from David R. Loy.

In little time, Loy has become one of the most powerful advocates of the Buddhist worldview, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the sociopolitical landscape of the modern world.

In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples - the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels - and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough", whether it's time, money, sex, security...even war.

Loy's "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than a radical change in the ways we can approach our lives, our planet, the collective delusions that pervade our language, culture, and even our spirituality.

Members Reviews:

fantastic read!

This book will be a life changer for many, myself included. It is a gem to have found such a solid digestible read to assist in applying concepts that can be all too often be made over complicated, Buy it! (-:

Very insightful!

David knows his Buddhist logic quite well. This is a very well thought-out guide to understanding Buddhism. A joy to read!

Highly readable

Loy has a unique talent for bringing relevance and clarity to eastern thought. Additionally, I find his works very readable, and not at all in the vein of mathematical dispensations on the logic of such and such philosophical proposition etc. If you've ever felt that you need an extra kick in the spiritual groin to remind you that your culturally ingrained motives toward those 'reality projects' (as he calls them) are really never going to serve you or anyone else, then you should read this.

Good substance, slightly wordy

The points made are very good. If one is a beginner, then this book may seem to be a true eye opener. If more experienced with some Buddhist ways, this begins to get reduntant.

I feel like he uses 10 words when only 4 are needed.

Great book

While I did not agree with everything the author said, it did get me thinking about a lot of issues. I am grateful to the author's good grasp of Buddhist practice and philosophy and have given the book to many of my friends.

Title: Realizing Change: Vipassana Meditation in Action

Author: Ian Hetherington

Narrator: Ian Hetherington

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-08-16

Publisher: Pariyatti

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions

Publisher's Summary:

Featuring accounts by practitioners living everyday lives, this introduction to Vipassana meditation provides a way for listeners to learn more about its benefits. Explained is what takes place before, during, and after a 10-day silent meditation retreat. Each participant follows the same discipline: silence, a basic moral code known as the five precepts, a prescribed timetable, a vegetarian diet, and a commitment to practicing only what is taught at the retreat.

This first-person account of the retreat reveals the challenges and benefits of facing reality head-on through direct observation and of learning to observe instead of reacting to thoughts, emotions, and sensations. In addition, the ways in which Vipassana meditation techniques are applied to individuals, institutions, children, prisoners, work places, and fields of science and social action are examined. Although based on the teachings of the Buddha, the practice of Vipassana as heard in this book has broad appeal to other religious and nonsectarian audiences.

Members Reviews:

Great book

After taking the 10 day course, this book gives a nice perspective of how different people found it .. It kind of refreshes you with the course again. Sometimes in regular life, we start getting the benefits of this practice and since they become our regular behaviour we don't realize how this practice has helped us to those .. This book reminds us of them

Since this book is a comprehensive overview of all kinds of people's accounts of Vipassana, there are some sections that can get slightly boring .. For me children's section was that one

Not what I expected

I didn't enjoy this book and wish I hadn't spent the money on it - however, I may not have read the description carefully enough before I bought it.

Wonderful first-hand accounts

Realizing Change is a compilation of first-hand accounts of the effects of a 10-day Vipassana meditation course. The stories are personal and honest reflections on the benefits of meditation.

Vipassana meditators come from all walks of life. The stories which fill these pages come from young and old alike, from men and women, from those who have sat one course to those who have been practicing for decades. Due to its nonsectarian, universal approach, Vipassana carries a broad appeal to all those prepared to challenge themselves.

This book is a wonderful glimpse into the world of Vipassana for meditators and non-meditators alike. For those who are already practicing Vipassana meditation, it is a great joy to read how the practice is transforming the lives of others. Because meditation is a gradual progress, it can be easy to lose sight of the changes it has precipitated. However, when we hear the experiences of others, it allows us to get a fresh perspective on our own journey. Every now and then we have to look back and appreciate how far we've come, and consider the path we've learned with gratitude.

For those who haven't sat a Vipassana course, on the other hand, this book offers a hint of the experience that awaits. There's no beating around the bush: it's difficult. However, as S.N. Goenka tells a student in one of these stories: "What you get out of it is what you put into it."

Despite the challenges that come with adopting a serious meditative lifestyle, the rewards are far greater.

Mudita, Wheel Publicaton No. 170, contains several short essays, one by the editor, Ven. Nyanaponika, and three by lay practitioners on one of the lesser known and too-little practiced sublime states of mind. Mudita, usually translated "sympathetic joy", was designated one of the brahma-viharas by the Buddha, one of the sublime, noble states of mind. How is it to be practiced, and what are the implications of mudita on the spiritual path? These essays address those questions.
