Beginning with a history of the use of adaptogens, including in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Russian medicine, the book examines how these herbal remedies work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness and ailments. The extensive Materia Medica includes monographs on 25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, shatavari, reishi, and holy basil, as well as complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and nootropic herbs, such as milky oats, astragalus, St. John’s wort, and ginkgo. Each monograph presents the latest scientific research and details the origin, traditional and clinical uses, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb. The book also includes guidance on adaptogenic remedies for our animal companions. Aimed not only at herbalists but also those interested in natural health, this guide to adaptogens will allow you to safely and effectively use these herbal remedies to enhance your health and improve your chances of living a longer, healthier, and well-balanced life.

Adapte-se A Tudo
by Dada BhagwanSerá que reclamamos quando um esgoto cheira? Da mesma maneira as pessoas que são desagradáveis ??e negativas são como os esgotos. Tudo que cheire mal, nós chamamos de esgoto e tudo o que cheira bem chamamos de flor. Adapte-se a ambos. Ambas as situações estão dizendo: “Torne-se Vitarag (sem qualquer apego ou aversão) conosco”. Você sofre por causa de suas opiniões sobre o bem e o mal. Você deve mantê-las sob controle. Quando dizemos que algo é bom, outras coisas por comparação tornam-se más e começam a nos incomodar. Se nós nos colocamos acima das opiniões, boas ou más, não há sofrimento. ’Adaptar-se a Tudo’ é minha sugestão. Não importa o que as pessoas digam, seja verdade ou não, devemos nos adaptar. Se alguém me diz que eu não tenho noção, eu me adapto imediatamente, dizendo: “Você está certo. Eu sempre fui um pouco lento. Você só percebeu isso hoje, enquanto eu tenho conhecimento disso desde minha infância.” Se você responder assim vai evitar o conflito. Eles nunca irá incomodá-lo novamente. Se você não se adaptar, quando você vai chegar a ’sua casa’ (moksha, libertação do ciclo de nascimento e morte)? Com os pais e as crianças há ajustes a cada passo do caminho. Se nós adaptarmos com compreensão, haverá paz e não vamos vincular qualquer karma. Se não nos adaptarmos às pessoas ao nosso redor, vamos convidar problemas. Esta estratégia de ’Adapte-se a tudo’ é a chave mestra do Dadashri, que abre todas as portas na vida. Se usarmos a máxima de ouro do Gnani Purush Dadashri ’Adapte-se a tudo’ e a aplicarmos em nossa vida, então nossa vida cotidiana se tornará bela.
Adaptate En Cualquier Situación
by Dada Bhagwan¿Acaso nos quejamos a la alcantarilla cuando ésta huele mal? De la misma manera, hay gente que es desagradable y negativa como una alcantarilla. Todo lo que huele mal lo llamamos alcantarilla y a todo lo que huela bien lo llamamos una flor. Adáptate a ambos olores. Estas dos situaciones te están diciendo : “Conviértete en un Vitraag (en un ser libre de apego y de aversión) con nosotros (el mal y el buen olor)” Todos nosotros nos hemos tenido que adaptar muchas veces en nuestra vida a circunstancias desagradables. Por ejemplo, utilizamos un paragüa cuando llueve. Cuando llueve no nos ponemos a discutir o a luchar contra la lluvia. De la misma forma , tanto si nos gusta estudiar como si no, tenemos que adaptarnos y ponernos a estudiar. .Pero, cuando encontramos a una persona difícil , no sólo no la cuestionamos, discutiendo u oponiéndonos a ella, sino que incluso acabamos generando un conflicto con ella ¿Por qué ocurre esto? Param Pujya Dadashri (maestro de la ciencia espiritual) nos reveló la siguiente verdad ; “ ADAPTATE A CUALQUIER SITUACION” como la fórmula definitiva para ayudarnos a resolver todas las circunstancias que constantemente están cambiando , previniendo así conflictos lo que a su vez nos proveerá de paz y de felicidad. Esta frase tan sencilla pero a la vez tan poderosa tiene el poder de cambiar tu vida,... sigue leyendo para ver cómo se hace.

AdaptAbility
by M. J. RyanLearn the secrets to takinganychange in stride. “Change is hard,” we say, and it is even harder when change is thrust upon us. In today’s tough times, we may be forced to reinvent our career or downsize our lives; at any point in life, we may lose a love or a dream. Our first reaction to change we didn’t ask for may be to rail against fate. But what if we could see past today’s turmoil and spot the opportunities that lie within unasked-for change? That is the promise ofAdaptAbility,bestselling author and executive coach M. J. Ryan’s paradigm-shifting new book on not merely surviving but thriving when change is required. Why is it so hard to accept change? Paradoxically, it is for the very reason that our brains usually work so well; we are designed to learn something and make it automatic. The problem is that when circumstances change, our “efficient” brains keep trying to do things the same old way. InAdaptAbility,Ryan provides strategies to retrain your brain and optimize your response to change, step by step: by first accepting the new reality, then expanding your options, and finally, taking effective action. She offers cutting-edge tools for becoming calmer, less fearful, and more flexible, creative, and resourceful in your thinking. Best of all, as your “adapt-ability” increases, so does your confidence that you will be able to face whatever life sends your way and find new ways to flourish. M. J. Ryan,internationally recognized as a leading change expert, is one of the creators of theNew York Timesbestselling Random Acts of Kindness series and the author ofThis Year I Will . . . , The Happiness Makeover, The Power of Patience, Trusting Yourself,andAttitudes of Gratitude,among other books. A member of Professional Thinking Partners, she specializes in coaching individuals and teams around the world. She has appeared on theTodayshow and CNN, and is a contributing editor toGood HousekeepingandHealth. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daughter.

Adam's Peak
by Heather BurtRunner-up for the 2008 Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize On a stifling August day, six-year-old Clare Fraser and seven-year-old Rudy Vantwest make eye contact from opposite sides of their street.

Twenty-five years later, Clare and Rudy, strangers living continents apart, fixtures of each others memories and imaginations, are connected again.

El Actual Tirthankara Viviente Shree Simandhar Swami
by Dada BhagwanLas escrituras dicen que en este tiempo no es posible para nadie la liberación final directamente desde este mundo nuestro. De todas maneras hay una via abierta a Mahavideha kshetra (un mundo en otro universo) que ha sido abierta por un periodo largo de tiempo. Tendremos que ir a Mahavideha kshetra y después de hacer Darshan (adoración) del Tirthankar vivo (completamente iluminado) Shri Simandhar Swami, entonces podremos conseguir Moksha. Dadashri pone a los aspirantes en este camino de liberación dándoles primero la Realización del Ser y así quedan establecidos en el camino a Mahavideha kshetra con toda certeza. En este planeta y en esta era no hay un Tirthankar vivo presente,pero en Mahavideha kshetra vive el Tirthankar Shri Simandhar Swami. Simandhar Swami puede dar la liberación a los buscadores espirituales del planeta tierra. El Gnani (Maestro de la ciencia espiritual) ha transitado este camino y pone a los buscadores en el mismo camino. Reconociendo al Tirthankar vivo (Dios vivo) despertando nuestra devoción por él, establecemos esta conexion a través de su adoración, dia y noche, para así conseguir su darshan y obtener Keval Gnan (absoluta iluminación)para obtener la liberación Esto es lo que dicen los Gnanis(Maestros espirituales) Así que nuestra devoción por Simandhar Swami se incremente y nuestras conexiones con El sigan creciendo, serán vinculantes para la siguiente vida. En última instancia este vínculo se vuelve tan fuerte que uno finalmente llega a los pies del Señor y se libera para siempre.

Acts of Kindness: Inspirational Stories for Everyday Life
by Adam MayersSmall things can often mean a great deal. For the past five years readers of the Toronto Star's website have been telling each other that, as they shared their stories in a feature called "Acts of Kindness." The common thread is that a stranger helped when it was needed most, without thought of a reward and often without leaving a name. Since its debut in December, 2004, "Acts of Kindness" has become a daily fixture at thestar.com. About four thousand stories have been submitted and two thousand have been published. Acts of Kindness, the book, represents the best of the best - a collection of 200 of the most memorable tales. The stories are a reminder that goodness is non-denominational, non-political, and transferable across race and language. They also remind us that although our lives are full of hard realities, the smallest gesture can raise a spirit or lift a heart, and the time to do it is now.

Acts of Faith: Meditations For People of Color
by Iyanla VanzantBeloved Friends, Acts of Faith, more affectionately known as "the purple book," has truly taken on a life of its own. It has crossed gender lines to foster understanding, racial divides to create peace, religious barriers to encourage tolerance, and has become somewhat of a lantern for those seeking a better way of life. I have been told it has saved lives, renewed faith, created vision and healed wounds. Some day it has comforted them. Others say it has enlightened them. It has changed perspectives for some, directions for others and lives for many. I can take no credit for any of this. In fact, I give the credit to those of you who were willingly seeking, open and easy for whatever blessing you received from your interaction with this book. My goal in writing the book was to provide a service. At that time I never imagined how greatly I would be served. The kindness, generosity and love I have received in a response to this book has been, at times, overwhelming. Because we live in a world and during a time when we are untrusting, almost afraid of one another; we can forget how loving and supportive people can be. We also live in an environment where we tend to think of one another as them and us; the haves and the have nots. My experience during both the writing and promotion of Acts of Faith has served as a valuable reminder of how alike we all are. We all cry. We all hurt. We all want to do better. We all learn and we all grow. I have grown tremendously since the publication of Acts of Faith. In both my personal and professional life, I have grown in the realization of just how precious life is and how blessed we are to be alive. I have grown to appreciate the delicate balance between surviving and flourishing. I have grown in the realization of the awesome responsibility one undertakes when they seek to serve. More important, I have grown stronger in my faith and belief that God is happy when His children are happy. You and I are God's precious children. Acts of Faith has brought an incredible amount of happiness into my life. For this, I am grateful. I am happy that so many are searching for the truth about life and about themselves. I am happy that people from all walks of life, all social backgrounds are developing a deeper sense of awareness and connection to the beauty of life and the glory of God. I am grateful that from a very rocky beginning in life, I have been entrusted by the Creator to bring forth a message of truth and healing. I am grateful that healing is available and that many have found the healing that they sought in the pages of this little purple book. People often ask me, "What are your plans for the future? What will you do next?" They are somewhat taken aback by my casual response, "I haven't got a clue!" Acts of Faith has taught me the value of surrender and the wisdom of not getting bogged down in all the details of life. I know that God has a plan for me and for us. I know that when you have pure intent and a loving desire, God will not forsake you. I wanted to show my appreciation to you by offering this gift edition of Acts of Faith as a special way of letting you know how much your love and support has meant to me. Give it to a friend or a loved one, or present it to yourself as a reminder that when you act on faith, you rarely go wrong and you are always blessed. Thank you for blessing me with your love.

Active Dreaming
by Robert MossAs the success of the recent film Inception shows, dreams are a source of perennial fascination. Robert Moss has advanced our understanding of the phenomenon with his visionary and down-to-earth synthesis of contemporary dreamwork and venerable shamanic methods. His "active dreaming" involves re-entering dreams, exploring their possibilities, and directing the subconscious to illuminate and solve problems. He blazes a new trail, guiding readers to use the powers that govern their night dreams to pursue their ideal waking "dream lives." Based on Moss's decades of teaching, the techniques he shares in these pages are proven, powerful, and even playful. Readers learn to understand and utilize synchronicity, shared dreaming, children's dreams, and healing dreams. The examples Moss shares encourage readers to face fears and tap into dormant power. The result is the freedom to choose -- and then revel in -- the life of their dreams.
Activating Your 5D Frequency: A Guidebook for the Journey into Higher Dimensions
by Judith Corvin-BlackburnA guide to navigating the transition from 3D to 5D and reclaiming the ancient powers of love, creativity, and unity consciousness lying dormant in our DNA • Details what is happening psychologically, emotionally, and socially with the dimensional shift and provides a vision of life on 5D Earth • Offers transformative activations and tools to meet the psycho-spiritual demands of this transition, including identifying and integrating the shadow self, healing emotional wounds, and discovering higher frequencies • Explains how to navigate the Ascension process, especially in terms of handling emotions, resistances, and fears, and how to welcome these new frequencies We are in a time of great transition. Higher frequency light is flooding our planet, awakening large numbers to reclaim our original nature as fifth-dimensional humans. As 5D humans, we live from our heart&’s wisdom, from Unity Consciousness, unconditional love, and unbridled creativity. 5D humans have highly developed inner senses of empathy, telepathy, clairvoyance, and clairsentience--qualities that are opening for many as we go through this dimensional shift. While this journey is exciting, its demands can be overwhelming. In this hands-on guide to activating the 5D potential lying dormant in our DNA, Judith Corvin-Blackburn shows us how to navigate the Ascension process, including how to handle emotions, resistances, and fears and welcome our 5D frequencies. Using the 9-dimensional-axis theory first explored by Barbara Hand Clow, the author details what is happening psychologically, emotionally, and socially with the dimensional shift, including revealing the denser, pain-inducing frequency of being a 3D human and the challenges of the 4th dimension. She offers transformative activations and tools to explore and master the psycho-spiritual demands of this transition, including identifying and integrating the shadow self, healing emotional wounds that hold us back, and discovering higher frequencies and the cellular vibration of unconditional love and Oneness. Once we reclaim ourselves as loving, conscious, creator beings and realize we are part of a global 5D team, together we can consciously help co-create a New Earth by anchoring the 5D frequency in both our inner and outer worlds.
