Tree Wisdom: A Year of Healing Among the Trees
by Vincent KarcheTwelve lessons that trees can teach us to achieve inner calm, with mindfulness and journaling exercises.Forest bathing, tree hugging, 'earthing' and nature retreats--more and more, we are craving a return to nature, to peace, and simplicity. This book shows the way.When international opera tenor and forester Vincent Karche lost his voice, he was instructed by a shamanic healer that, to regain it, he would have to find himself again first. Thus began a journey into the heart of the forest.In this book, Vincent mirrors the cyclical nature of the seasons to help us reconnect to our natural rhythm, find inner peace, and activate physical and emotional healing. Just as a tree anchors its roots into the earth to weather storms, so too can we learn to cultivate resilience; to find instant relief from stress, we need only breathe slowly in and out as a tree would; and we can forge stronger relationships by encouraging symbiotic links with all beings, giving and taking only what we need as trees and plants do.In this poetic exploration of the unbreakable bond between nature and human, Vincent reminds us that we are both the forest and the tree: each unique in our being and yet part of a Divine natural creation.

Whoever has learned to listen to trees no longer wants to be one. He wants to be nothing except who he is.”
Trees: Propagation and Conservation
by Ankita Varshney Mohammad AnisPlant tissue culture is an essential component of Biotechnology which has gained unbeatable recognition in plant sciences for successful micropropagation and improvement of plant species, leading to the commercial application. A number of plant species have been investigated around the globe. This book presents current research on the application of in vitro technology in the improvement of Balanites aegyptiaca Del. , a medicinal plant of semi-arid tropics. The worldwide importance of forestry, summed to the lengthy generation cycles of tree species, makes unavoidable development of new technologies that complement conventional tree breeding programmes in order to obtain improved genotypes. Recently, a new set of tools has become available in the past 20 years that combined with traditional plant breeding will allow scientists to generate products that are genetically improved varieties of the future. These set of tools come under the general title of 'Biotechnology'. The three specific biotechnological tools have been successfully used in several programmes of plant conservation, namely, tissue culture techniques for in vitro propagation, the use of molecular markers to assess the degree of variability among population and techniques of long-term conservation such as encapsulation and cryopreservation. Plant tissue culture techniques are particularly relevant and become an alternative not only for large scale propagation of individuals that are threatened, reduce production costs and increase gains to the industry, but also to provide ecological advantages as in phytoremediation or in the establishment of artificial plantings in weed infested site. The book gives a complete documentation of the results and demonstration of Balanites aegyptiaca conducted by the authors over the past 5 years. The end-to-end approach developed through plant tissue culture techniques is reflected in the book and there has been a successful transfer of technology from lab to field. The authors hope that this information would provide valuable data and also be a reference material for future research activities in this area.

Tribes: We need you to lead us
by Seth GodinIn this fascinating book, Seth Godin argues that now, for the first time, everyone has an opportunity to start a movement - to bring together a tribe of like-minded people and do amazing things. There are tribes everywhere, all of them hungry for connection, meaning and change. And yet, too many people ignore the opportunity to lead, because they are "sheepwalking" their way through their lives and work, too afraid to question whether their compliance is doing them (or their company) any good. This book is for those who don't want to be sheep and instead have a desire to do fresh and exciting work. If you have a passion for what you want to do and the drive to make it happen, there is a tribe of fellow employees, or customers, or investors, or readers, just waiting for you to connect them with each other and lead them where they want to go.

In-the-moment exercises on how to process difficult emotions and physical manifestations are offered throughout the book to cultivate the inner resources necessary to deal with recurring trauma.

Trimantra: ત્રિમંત્ર
by Dada Bhagwanલોકો ધર્મ માં ‘મારું’ અને ‘તારું’ માટે ઝઘડે છે. આવા ઝઘડાને દૂર રાખવા માટે આ ત્રિમંત્ર છે. જયારે ત્રિમંત્રનો મૂળ અર્થ સમજાશે ત્યારે, ખ્યાલ આવશે કે આ મંત્ર કોઈ એક ધર્મ અથવા ગચ્છ, અથવા સંપ્રદાય માટે અલાયદો નથી. ત્રિમંત્ર માંના નમસ્કાર જેમણે સર્વોચ્ચ જાગૃતિ મેળવી છે તેમને બધાને છે, જેમણે આત્મજ્ઞાન પ્રાપ્ત કર્યું છે, ત્યાંથી શરુ કરીને જેમણે કેવળજ્ઞાન પ્રાપ્ત કર્યું છે અને જેમણે અંતિમ મુક્તિ, મોક્ષ પ્રાપ્ત કર્યો છે તેમને પણ છે. આવા નમસ્કારથી જીવનના અંતરાય દૂર થાય છે, મુશ્કેલીઓમાં પણ શાંતિ લાગે છે અને મોક્ષના લક્ષ તરફ ડગલાં મંડાય છે. જ્ઞાની પુરુષ દાદાશ્રીએ આપણને ત્રિમંત્ર આપ્યો છે. આ મંત્ર સંપૂર્ણપણે નિષ્પક્ષપાતી છે. તેઓ આપણને સંપૂર્ણ જાગૃતિ સાથે સવારે અને રાત્રે એ પાંચ પાંચ વખત બોલવા કહે છે. જો તમને બહુ સમસ્યા હોય તો એક કલાક બોલશો તો તમે જોશો કે તમારી સમસ્યાઓ ઘણી બધી ઓછી થઇ જશે. આ મંત્રમાં બધી મુશ્કેલીઓ ઓછી કરવાની શક્તિ છે. તે પહાડ જેવી મુશ્કેલીને ઢગલી જેવી કરી શકે છે! જેઓ આ મંત્ર પૂરી સમજણ સાથે બોલે છે તેમને તે કઈ રીતે ઉંચે ચડાવે છે તે પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી સમજાવે છે. તમે જાતે રટણ કરો અને અનુભવોકે કેમ મુશ્કેલીઓ કેવીરીતે ઓછી થાય છે.

Tripping Into the Light
by Charlie CollinsDiagnosed with a rare eye disorder in the third grade, Charlie's self-esteem began to unravel by the thread. He wouldn't have a future as a detective like his hero, Magnum P. I. He would never soar in a jet fighter like he dreamed. He would never drive a race car and see the checkered flag wave. College was out of the question, because he just wasn't smart enough. At least that's what the teachers told him. Only a God who was unusually cruel would shatter the dreams of a little boy by creating him defective. It was the only explanation that made any sense, and it was a crushing blow. If God didn't care about him, why should he care about himself? And so began Charlie's freefall into a world of negative self-talk and ultimately addiction. A self-destructive plummet that would see him cheat death twice as he marched to the precipice of suicide. Raw and brutally honest, Tripping into the Light is a tale of soaring triumphs and heartbreaking defeat. It illustrates the power of true love and the undying spirit of hope. It is about one man's willingness to try just one more time, when it seemed all was lost. Through Charlie's eyes, we see that all things are possible if we are willing to roll up our sleeves and do the work. www. TrippingIntoTheLight. com
