The Gentlemen's Book of Etiquette: A Manual of Politeness from a Gentler Time
by Cecil B. HartleyWhat should you do if you find a bug on your plate? How do you ask someone to dance? What's the least offensive way to enjoy your cigar? These and other questions of social decorum are answered in this classic etiquette book. Published just before the Civil War, this volume offers enduring advice for courtesy-challenged men. Common-sense suggestions for socializing, exercise, flirting, dining, and dressing reveal that the basics of proper behavior haven't changed all that much ― and in situations where they have, today's gentlemen may find something worth learning from their predecessors.Suggestions for the best way to behave, as well as how not to behave, include conduct in the street ("Avoid striking your umbrella against those which pass you"); making calls ("No man in the United States, excepting His Excellency, the President, can expect to receive calls unless he returns them"); and dating ("Any lover-like airs or attitudes, although you may have the right to assume them, are in excessively bad taste in public"). These and other etiquette tips provide intriguing glimpses of nineteenth-century society in addition to a wealth of timeless counsel on behaving with sincerity, dignity, and kindness in our own day and age.

Al Este - Una novela
by Peri Hoskins"...en una palabra: extraordinario.” V. Scipione, Agente Literario norteamericano. "Su forma de escribir es magnífica… Si hay algún escritor que me recuerde a Hoskins, ese sería John Steinbeck. Pero en vez del norte de California y el Valle de Salinas, descubrimos Australia y Nueva Zelanda.” - R. Simmons, de Readers’ Favorite. "... El resultado es una historia en la carretera donde se producen descubrimientos y conexiones entre personas, elevándolas a un nuevo nivel de introspección y crecimiento, de forma que ‘Al Este’ se convierte en una novela altamente recomendable para lectores a los que les gustan las historias introspectivas y las aventuras, y a los que consideran la experiencia de viajar por carretera como un estímulo a la hora de tomar decisiones.” - D.

Uhrautumisen Voima
by Gabriel AgboUhrautumiset ovat tehokkaita. Erittäin tehokkaita! Rikkain mies, vahvin mies, kaikkein siunatuimmat miehet ja naiset, viisaimmat, mahtavin kuningas, kaikkein vaikutusvaltaisimmat profeetat olivat uhrautuvia miehiä ja naisia. He antoivat kaiken, riskeerasivat kaiken kansansa vuoksi, inhimillisyyden ja Jumalan vuoksi saavuttaakseen tavoitteensa ja urotyönsä, josta jopa ikuisuus olisi ylpeä. Jos haluat tulla mahtavaksi, sinun täytyy ensin tulla uhrautuvaksi mieheksi/naiseksi. Kaikki on mahdollista niille, jotka pystyvät maksamaan hinnan. Tulet huomaamaan näiden hyvin paljastavien lukujen - Uhrautumisen Voima, Uhraa Vain Omasi, Kuljen Egyptin Kautta, Maksan Hinnan, Seuraa Minua! Tulimme Sinun Vuoksi, Minä suojelen Sinua, Keitä Viimeinen Ateria, Pelastamisen Voima, Ylistäminen, Rukous ja Paasto. Emme ole vain keskustelleet Raamatun suurten miesten ja naisten uhrauksista ja kuinka heidän tekonsa tekivät heistä suuria, vaan myös sellaisista ihmisistä kuin Israelin 'Yoni' Netanyahu; nuori israelilainen, joka johti kommandoyksikköä pelastamaan juutalaiset panttivangit, joita pidettiin Entebben lentokentällä heidän koneensa tultua kaapatuksi ja ohjatuksi Ugandaan vuonna 1976. Katselimme myös joitakin meidän sotasankareita, erityisesti Erikoisjoukkojen - kuten SEAL, Delta -yksikkö. Nämä miehet antoivat kaikkensa, riskeerasivat jatkuvasti kaiken, myös elämänsä puolustaakseen kansaansa ja inhimillisyyttä. He uhrasivat elämänsä suojellakseen muita. Jeesus sanoi, että suurin uhraus ihmiselle on, että antaa oman henkensä toisten vuoksi. Me osoitamme kunnioituksemme heille. He opettavat meille mitä uhrautumisen pitäisi olla. Jeesus kertoi, että mikä uhraus on suurempi kuin mies, joka antaa henkensä ystäviensä vuoksi? Me ylistämme heidän rohkeuttaan ja äärimmäistä isänmaallisuutta. Tässä, me opimme uskon uhrauksista, ystävällisyydestä, isänmaallisuudesta, rukouksesta, paastoamisesta ja ylistämisest�

Die Kraft Des Opfers
by Christine Wilhelm Gabriel AgboOpfer sind mächtig. Sehr kraftvoll! Der reichste Mann, der stärkste Mann, die gesegnetesten Männer und Frauen, der weiseste, der größte König, die mächtigsten Propheten waren alle Männer und Frauen des Opfers. Sie gaben alles, riskierten alles für ihr Volk, die Menschheit und für Gott, um ihre Ziele und Leistungen zu erreichen, auf die sogar die Ewigkeit stolz sein wird. Willst du ihre Geheimnisse wissen? Gut. Wenn du groß werden willst, musst du zuerst ein Mann / eine Frau des Opfers werden. Ihnen sind alle Dinge möglich, die den Preis bezahlen können. Du wirst diese hoch aufschlussreichen Kapitel finden - die Kraft des Opfers, opfere nur deine, ich werde durch Ägypten gehen, ich werde den Preis zahlen, folge mir! Wir sind für dich gekommen, ich werde dich bewahren, die letzte Mahlzeit kochen, Kraft zum Sparen, Lob, Gebet und Fasten. Wir haben nicht nur über die großen Opfer großer Männer und Frauen in der Bibel diskutiert und darüber, wie ihre Taten sie großartig machten, sondern auch Menschen wie Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanjahu von Israel; der junge Israeli, der die Kommandoeinheit führte, um die jüdischen Geiseln zu retten, die auf dem Flughafen von Entebbe festgehalten wurden, nachdem ihr Flugzeug 1976 entführt und nach Uganda umgeleitet worden war. Wir betrachteten auch einige unserer militärischen Helden, besonders die der Sonderoperationen SEALs, Delta-Kraft. Diese Männer geben ihr Bestes; ständig riskieren alles, einschließlich ihrer Leben, um ihre Menschen und die Menschheit zu verteidigen. Sie opfern ihr Leben, um andere zu schützen. Jesus sagte, dass das größte Opfer für einen Mann ist, sein Leben für andere zu geben. Wir grüßen sie!

Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation: Relax, Replenish, and Rejuvenate
by Heather Dawn GodfreyA hands-on guide showing how essential oils can support and enhance meditative and mindful practices • Details safe and effective methods to incorporate essential oils into your mindfulness or meditation practice • Explains the many ways essential oils benefit the mind, such as how odors can immediately draw your attention to the present moment, trigger a specific state of consciousness, or provide a way to regain composure quickly • Provides the latest scientific research on the emotional, psychological, physiological, and neurological effects of essential oils on the mind, body, and nervous system • Includes an easy-to-follow chart to help you choose the right essential oil for you For millennia, the spiritual power of odor--such as from incense or frankincense--has been used to symbolize intention, stimulate awareness of our spiritual self, and accentuate rite and ritual. Drawing on this power, as well as their healing qualities, essential oils can provide the perfect complement to meditation or mindfulness practice. Outlining the practice and benefits of meditation and mindfulness in combination with the use of essential oils, Heather Dawn Godfrey explains how these practices hone and sustain a conscious awareness of “being” in the present moment, focusing attention on what you are sensually experiencing and leaving no space for regrets, traumas, fears, anxiety, or anticipation. Providing the latest scientific research on the restorative, rehabilitative, and psycho-emotional healing effects of essential oils, she explains how the sensory experience of odors can immediately draw your attention to the present moment, trigger a specific state of consciousness, such as a deeper meditative state, or offer a way to regain composure quickly when dealing with life’s ups and downs. She shows how many essential oils naturally reduce stress and anxiety, promote a peaceful attitude, support concentration, regulate breathing, and stimulate serotonin and GABA pathways in the brain, making them ideal aids to mindfulness and meditation. Explaining methods to incorporate essential oils into your practice, Godfrey introduces readers to the “Gem” essential oils--a group of oils specifically selected for attaining and maintaining a state of mindfulness, as well as a broad spectrum of therapeutic properties--and she provides an easy-to-follow chart to help you select the oil that is right for you. Offering a hands-on practical guide to integrating essential oils into mindful and meditative practice, the author shows how each of us has the ability to self-generate a calm, tranquil, and worry-free state of mind.
Learning to Love
by Eileen Caddy David Earl PlattsAn insightful guide for consciously bringing compassion and love into your life • Explores feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and past experiences that block us from loving and receiving love • Includes deceptively simple yet profound exercises, meditations, and visualizations to support the exploration of your inner world • Explains how these principles and techniques originated in Roberto Assagioli’s system of psychosynthesis, enriched by the Findhorn experience of living in community Every person is born with the capacity to love. Over time, however, many of us have built barriers within ourselves as a reaction to painful experiences, and following these, we often develop fears, beliefs, and behaviors that keep these barriers firmly in place. The primary lesson in life is to learn to love, and this starts right on our doorstep. Often it is self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness that hold us back from experiencing all the love around us. Only when we start to love and accept ourselves with all that we are can we love others freely and fully. Learning to love requires an intention to change and a willingness to take action. Once we understand how to work with our doubts and fears and learn how to change our beliefs and behavior, our barriers will melt away and we spontaneously open up to connect deeply and harmoniously with the full flow of the river of life. In this simple yet insightful guide, Eileen Caddy and David Earl Platts detail the down-to-earth practicalities of exploring feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and past experiences that block us from loving and from receiving love. They show how bringing more love into our lives is not a mystery but often a journey back to ourselves and our core values. The authors examine the feelings of acceptance, trust, forgiveness, respect, opening up, and taking risks, among others, within a framework of compassionate understanding and non-judgment. Deceptively simple yet profound exercises, meditations, and visualizations support the reader in examining their inner world and implementing these vital concepts into their lives. The teachings in the book are based on popular workshops that Eileen, co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation Community, and David facilitated for years in and outside Findhorn. Many of the underlying principles and techniques originate in the system of psychosynthesis, devised by Roberto Assagioli. Learning to Love invites you to make a free and informed choice to bring more love into your life, and then helps you implement this choice step-by-step with confidence and joy.
