Beyond the Breath
by Marshall GlickmanBeyond the Breath is one of the first books to give a complete overview and description of sensation based vipassana meditation, the form of mediation thought of as the original method of meditation as used by the Buddha 2,500 years ago. This form of meditation, brought to the West by S. N. Geoneka, provides a means to experience emotions directly and nonverbally-accessing the mind through the body. One of the main principles of this school of meditation is that meditation alone is not sufficient practice, but that it must be combined with a whole-life and ethical commitment. M. Glickman's approach is unique-he takes a mediation practice deeply rooted within a historic Buddhist framework, and gives it a modern-day, scientific spin-he presents sensation based viapassana meditaiton and Buddhist principles in 20th-century language, secularizing ideas that may sound exotic, off-putting, or out-dated. Glickman's passion for the topic, as well as his great understanding of Buddhist concepts, make this an inspiring read.

Beyond the Good Girl Jail: When You Dare to Live from Your True Self
by Sandra FeltContrary to common theories, it is not only good to focus internally, but it's actually healthy to the point of being crucial to developing a loving, spiritual self. Here, Felt uniquely describes the process of that growth and how each step feels in vivid detail, utilizing right-brain language and poetry that emphasizes experiential maturation in addition to left-brain comprehension. Beyond the Good-Girl Jail is unique in that it is written from a neutral, encouraging, developmental point of view, rather than a mental health point of view, which is sometimes interpreted as judgmental and shaming. It is theoretical in the basics, yet practical. It is psychological, yet not steeped in pathological jargon. Part of the appeal of Felt's approach is her use of case examples and illustrations of the "Self Principles" in various common situations. When you listen from a deeper place, you hear a deeper truth. This stick-to-the-ribs book will have readers thinking long after reading it. They will not only remember the words and stories, but they will experience a shift in their language and a surprising growth in their choices.

Beyond the Influence: Understanding and Defeating Alcoholism
by Katherine Ketcham William F. Asbury Mel Schulstad Arthur P. Ciaramicoli"This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease." --from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one. Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic. Based on the latest scientific research,Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including: Steps to take for an intervention How to find the right treatment program Which psychological approaches work best Why spirituality is essential to recovery New insights into relapse prevention What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives. BEYOND THE INFLUENCE explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes: Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments The most effective types of psychological counseling The critical role of nutrition Non-traditional healing methods for recovery The importance of a spiritual component to recovery. The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs, efforts to curtail college bingeing and underage drinking, and the advertising and marketing strategies of the alcohol industry.
Beyond the Instant: Jewish Wisdom for Lasting Happiness in a Fast-Paced, Social Media World
by Mark WildesMore than ever, young people today are searching for a sense of purpose and direction. Advances in science and technology have given our generation opportunities our grandparents could only dream of, yet our need for meaning and values is more unfulfilled than ever. Growing addiction to instant gratification and attachment to circumstantial highs leave us lacking when it comes to long-term contentment.Beyond the Instant shows young adults how to enrich their lives through faith. It examines ten different areas of contemporary life, including friendship, family, dating, money, and career, to demonstrate how a return to spirituality can help people find happiness and satisfaction. It addresses many important questions along the way: What is the true role of sex in relationships? What is the significance of failure? How can people really make a difference in the world? In the book, Rabbi Mark Wildes draws upon Jewish tradition and wisdom to bring a sense of balance, stability, and purpose to the often frenzied and occasionally directionless twenty-first-century way of life. Each chapter examines what the Torah has to say about a particular concern of modern life and then shows how thousands of years of rabbinical teachings can be applied to the contemporary situation. Written in a relatable and engaging style, it shows how faith and religion can provide a practical guide to finding happiness that goes beyond the instant.

In this important book, Patricia Cori invites another, overlooked group--perhaps the most important one--to join the discussion. Beyond the Matrix collects some of the most provocative, forward-thinking interviews conducted on Cori's radio show of the same name, bringing together leaders in various fields of alternative thinking to propose new and exciting perspectives on the future of humanity as we approach the potentially life-changing 2012.Beyond the Matrix offers a portrait of a refreshingly optimistic future in a time when we are bombarded with an apocalypse scenario as the future of our civilization.

With its blend of fascinating dialogue and higher ideals, Beyond the Matrix offers both hope and reassurance in these challenging times.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Beyond the Mayan Prophecy: A Collective Opinion from Today's Most Notable Psychics and Metaphysicians
by Paul Shavelson***Featuring contributors such as: John Edward, Char Margolis, Sandy Anastasia, Rick Levine, Glynis McCants, Mark Van Stone, Mary Jo McCabe, Gahl Sasson, Dr. Alicia Tisdale, Maggie Kerr, Kala Ambrose, Mirabai Devi, Linda West, Derek O'Neill, Alan Oken , John Holland and Austyn Wells.***For the past forty years there have been a growing number of people who believe that nothing less than a cataclysmic change is coming in the evolution of Mankind. From the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to cosmic forces—read Aliens—coming to engineer our DNA, to the doomsday scenarios triggered by the end of the Mayan calendar, there have been those who are sure that the world as we know it is coming to an end. And soon.But that cataclysmic end has not (de)materialized, or has it? In 2012 new data was discovered in Guatemala that gives us concrete evidence of a new paradigm concerning the Mayans and their calendar. We are now faced with the idea that perhaps we aren't staring at Armageddon but stand in the middle of a 33-year transformative process. While the Mayans might have seen a change for humanity it isn't an ending per se. And if there is change, why does that change need to imply destruction? Couldn't it be an opportunity for mankind to assess their place in the universe and engage in a positive rebirth in a new era?Beyond The Mayan Prophecy posits that our modern day weakness or confusion can be attributed to a less spiritual way of thinking. Perhaps our left side brain thinking has held us back from discovering and accepting higher planetary secrets for centuries. To move forward with more balanced understanding, Paul Shavelson, a multi-media story teller and former Executive Producer of the hit psychic television show CROSSING OVER, has spent the last decade exploring the world of psychics and mystics. Paul has assembled a "psychic dream team" to decode the past and to predict the future. With famed metaphysical experts such as Char Margolis, Rick Levine, Maggie Kerr, Alan Oken, and Numerologist Glynis McCants, Paul covers everything from alien communication to instant collective thinking (The Collective Unconscious) being cultivated on the internet. The dialogue and interviews will be discussed through sidebars by psychic medium, author, and TV personality, John Edward, who also provides the forward, and afterword of this provocative subject.With positive energy and a willingness to have us think outside the box (and a personal journey by the author that brings an unexpected and moving aspect to the experience), Beyond The Mayan Prophecy is an entertaining, thought provoking work that will let the reader embrace why the second half of this transition could be remarkable and inspiring.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Beyond the Summit
by Todd SkinnerWorld-class rock climber Todd Skinner is also one of today's most sought-after motivational speakers for business audiences. Whenever he describes his history-making sixty-day free climb of the 20,500-foot Trango Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas (shown on the jacket), people are in awe of his stamina, skill, ambition, and determination. They are also eager to apply his lessons in their professional and personal lives. Skinner argues that everyone has a mountain to climb, whether it's meeting your annual sales target or launching a new product or getting your department to improve its teamwork. And he stresses that you should set your goals even higher than you normally would, and constantly look beyond the current summit to the next one. For instance, instead of aiming for 10 percent revenue growth, go after a seemingly impossible 50 percent target, and then think of new ways to get there. In both rock climbing and business, you must define your exact mission, assemble the right team, make the critical transition from preparation to action, have courage when crossing difficult terrain, and weather the storms well. Skinner offers fresh insights into all of these topics and explains principles such as: how you think is more important than what you know pick teammates for what they will do, not what they have already done make decisions in answer to the mountain fall toward the summit see each challenge as part of a bigger picture, your lifelong ascent Beyond the Summit presents fresh and inspiring advice on leadership, teamwork, and decision-making skills, combined with an epic adventure tale.
