Practicing Life Together: A Common Rule for Christian Growth
by Paul GutackerYou don&’t have to go it alone after college—nor should you!Even when we want good things, when we desire what&’s right, we&’re often frustrated by how we fail to follow through. Practicing Life Together invites readers to experience the blessings and benefits of a common rule.A rule of life is like a trellis. It&’s a standard, offering guidance and encouraging growth in the right direction. It&’s a way of living intentionally—of making a commitment to spiritual disciplines that are too important to leave up to our day-to-day whims. And the best way to take on a rule of life? Doing it with others. Practicing Life Together invites emerging adults to consider participating in a common rule that will guide their growth and cultivate genuine community. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer discerned, Christian community is &“not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.&” Christians don&’t have to go it alone during the formative years after college—it&’s possible to practice life together. Paul Gutacker introduces practices we can take up with others—communal prayer, weekly dinners, studying together, and Sabbath—in the hope that these can become life-shaping habits.

Practising Happiness: How Mindfulness Can Free You From Psychological Traps And Help You Build The Life You Want
by Ruth A. BaerMindfulness is a way of paying attention that originates in Eastern meditation traditions but is increasingly discussed and practised in Western culture. It is usually defined as focusing one's complete attention on present-moment experiences in a non-judgemental and accepting way. Buddhist traditions suggest that the cultivation of mindfulness through the practice of meditation reduces suffering and cultivates positive qualities, such as insight, wisdom, compassion and equanimity. In recent years, the Western mental health community has adapted mindfulness meditation practices for use in medical and mental health settings, and several interventions based on mindfulness training are now widely available. Those with the best scientific support include mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These treatments can be applied to a wide range of problems, disorders and populations and the evidence increasingly supports their efficacy.Practising Happiness is the first self-help book to integrate the wisdom, skills and practices available from the four leading evidence-based mindfulness treatments (MBSR, MBCT, DBT and ACT).FREE audio content and guided meditations are available at www.practising-happiness.co.uk

Pragmatism and the Search for Coherence in Neuroscience
by Jay SchulkinWe have known for over a thousand years that the brain underlies behavioral expression, but effective scientific study of the brain is only very recent. In Pragmatism and the Search for Coherence in Neuroscience, two things converge: a great respect for neuroscience and its many variations, and a sense of investigation and inquiry demythologized. Schulkin seeks to anchor inquiry about neuroscience to objects and adaptation, whilst also showing that neuroscience is symbolic of the very Socratic idea to 'know thyself,' as the brain is that very organ that renders such knowledge possible. Think of it as foraging for coherence.

As spiritual development progresses, facing the many unintentional mistakes made through mind, speech, and conduct become disconcerting. Naturally one begins to wonder, “How to forgive and forget in unhealthy relationships?”, “How to forgive yourself - both for mistakes of the past and for ongoing mistakes in the present?” One of the most powerful tools for spiritual healing of both past and present is repentance with sincere apology. Yet, it is rare to find a concise scripture on forgiveness. In the book “Pratikraman: Freedom Through Apology & Repentance”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan describes the spiritual power of forgiveness prayer, and offers a precise formula for asking for forgiveness. The book allows anyone seeking to practice spiritual forgiveness prayer to easily understand how to repent, how to forgive someone, and self.

Pratikraman (Granth): પ્રતિક્રમણ (ગ્રંથ)
by Dada Bhagwanપોતાની ઈચ્છા ન હોવા છતાં દરેક મનુષ્ય ભૂલો કરે છે. લોકો પોતાની ભૂલોમાં સપડાય છે અને સતત ભોગવટામાં રહે છે. તેમને એનાથી મુક્ત થવાની, આંતરશાંતિ મેળવવાની, અને મુક્તિના રસ્તે આગળ વધવાની અંતરથી ઈચ્છા હોય છે. તીર્થંકરો અને જ્ઞાનીઓએ આ જગતને આવા દુઃખો માંથી છૂટવાનું એકમાત્ર સાધન (શસ્ત્ર) આપ્યું છે, અને તે સાધન (શસ્ત્ર) એટલે આલોચના, પ્રતિક્રમણ અને પ્રત્યાખ્યાન (આલોચના – પોતાની ભૂલોની કબુલાત કરવી; પ્રતિક્રમણ – ભૂલોની માફી માગવી; અને પ્રત્યાખ્યાન – ભૂલો ફરી નહિ કરવાનો દ્રઢ નિશ્ચય). અસંખ્ય લોકો એ આ સાધન (શસ્ત્ર)થી નફરત અને વેરભાવના વિશાળ વટવૃક્ષના મૂળ નો નાશ કરી મુક્તિરૂપી સંપતિ મેળવી છે. જ્ઞાની પુરુષ, દાદા ભગવાને પોતાની વાણી વડે પ્રતિક્રમણનું આ વિજ્ઞાન જેમ છે તેમ ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે. તેમના કહેલા શબ્દો આ અને બીજા ઘણા પુસ્તકો માં જોવા મળશે; સત્ય અને મુક્તિના આકાંક્ષી માટે આ શબ્દો અમુલ્ય પુરવાર થશે.
