HOPE - Healing Our People & Earth: What You Can Do To Make A Difference...
by Jude CurrivanAs a cosmologist and healer, Dr Jude Currivan has journeyed to nearly seventy countries around the world and has explored and studied numerous important sacred sites and places of conflict. HOPE shares her understanding and experiences of the energetic connections between people and places from a spiritual perspective which is informed and expanded by leading edge science.HOPE investigates too how different groups and countries reflect and embody the same themes and issues that we experience on an individual human level. It reveals how the history of different areas of conflict around the world and our collective fear-based behaviours are based on traumas that we have energetically continued to resonate with - and crucially how to heal and release them. HOPE also shows the cosmic connection between astrological influences and the 'bigger picture' of what is unfolding, and explores why 2012 is so synchronistically destined to offer us the breakthrough of a shift of collective consciousness – if, as the Mayans say, we choose to do so!
HOW TO FIND PEACE: Living in a Challenging World
by Jiddu KrishnamurtiPreviously unpublished - This is a collection of Krishnamurti's speeches and informal talks where he discusses war, politics and global tensions. It's especially vital in these times where people are overwhelmed by bad news and discord on all sides.On its 40th anniversary, Krishnamurti was invited to speak to the United Nations. He was then 90 years old, and they used the opportunity to give him a peace medal. The editors at the Krishnamurti Foundation of America were then requested to add more content from various recorded talks to create a book to be distributed by the World Future Society. The book was given out for free at their convention in Washington DC in 1992 but other than that it has never been published. The location of the talks transcribed ranges from Brussels to Mumbai, and from San Diego to Colombo.We are accustomed to Krishnamurti giving guidance on meditation, on inner states and qualities of the mind, but not so much on the world, on how we might live and on how to act in a world torn by conflict and by perceived decline and degradation. What can we do? How should we act? These extracts from talks, speeches and other books will help us feel better when we feel overwhelmed and encourage us to do what is within our power to make things better. Audiences are desperate for some constructive good news in these confusing and troubling times; there are no simple answers and Krishnamurti would never offer these anyway, but this is like sitting round the fire with a trusted elder.

Habit Stacking - Come cambiare un'abitudine in trenta giorni
by The BlokeheadUn metodo semplice, rapido ed efficace per liberarvi di ciò che vi impedisce di realizzare il vostro massimo potenziale e per cambiare un'abitudine limitante trasformandola in un fattore di successo.
Habit Stacking and some Tips to Improve Your Mind
by Marcela Gutiérrez BravoThe enormous library that the internet represents in our times has made people in favor of and against its effects in our habits, behavior, and even brain structure. The fact is that they will never agree if it is beneficial or not, as the individuals in the world are varied, as are their needs, habits, ideologies, and other aspects. In such a small nucleus, like a family, there can be discrepancies concerning said quandary. The truth is that it exists, and it is the main tool of our time. However, heads of households, teachers, and other similar people concerned over the moral good that this tool influences, have come to prohibit it in several places; this seems sad to me, as this tool contains all of the human knowledge up to today, and it would be a betrayal to our advance as a humanity, denying us the right to enjoy this knowledge. That’s why I have collected in this book, and in those that will follow, only some of the best ideas that the majority of professionals will suggest, that are found on the internet. After being a website and self-help book translator from four languages to Spanish, I have realized that not all languages have the same information on the internet. I have noticed, also, that there is very valuable information out there, but it is found in specialized blogs or in very lengthy articles that few people wish to read in their short navigation routine. This is the reason that I decided to do this collection. A book has a different manner. It claims a distinct moment for itself, just like the one network navigation claims for itself. It usually, barely gives us time to read publications that interest us, or manage to distract us, or improve our mood, stressed by the crazy and unending movement of the times that we live in. To that end, I have tried to present the material in the most enjoyable way possible and in small chapters that are good for reading while waiting in line, in transportation, in the last minutes of t
