Practicing the Present: The Neglected Art of Living in the Now
by John KoesslerThe present is more than a place where the past comes to rest.It is more than a staging ground for the future.The present is where God shows up.We live our lives in the present, but often our minds are racing toward the future or overwhelmed by the past. We want to change the past and control the future, but usually all we really do is exhaust ourselves in the here and now. Writing especially with church leaders in mind, Dr. John Koessler, a former pastor and professor, teaches you how to evade the tyranny of past regrets and future plans and meet God right where you are, in the present.
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.

Pratikraman - Der Meisterschlüssel, der alle Konflikte auflöst
by Dada BhagwanJeder Mensch begeht gegen seinen Willen Fehler. Menschen verfangen sich in ihren eigenen Fehlern und leiden dadurch unentwegt. Sie haben den aufrichtigen Wunsch, sich davon zu befreien, inneres Glück zu finden und sich zu ihrer Befreiung hin zu entwickeln. Die Tirthankars (vollständig Erleuchtete) und die Gnanis (Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft) haben der Welt die einzige Waffe gegeben, um dieses Leiden zu bekämpfen, und diese Waffe ist die spirituelle Wissenschaft von Alochana, Pratikraman und Pratyakhan (Alochana – Bekenntnis der eigenen Fehler; Pratikraman – um Vergebung bitten und Pratyakhan – der feste Entschluss, den Fehler niemals zu wiederholen). Unendlich viele Wesen haben durch diese Waffe den Reichtum der Befreiung erlangt, in dem die Wurzel des riesigen Baumes zerstört wurde, der durch Hass und Abscheu wächst. Der Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan hat in seinen gesprochenen Worten die Wissenschaft von Pratikraman, so präzise wie sie ist, dargelegt. Seine gesprochenen Worte kann man in diesem und vielen anderen Büchern finden. Worte von unschätzbarem Wert für den Aspiranten der Wahrheit und der Befreiung.

Suas palavras ditas podem ser encontradas neste livro, juntamente com muitos outros livros; palavras de valor incalculável para o aspirante à verdade e libertação.
