by David R. HawkinsA collection of 365 insightful quotes from best-selling author and consciousness researcher Dr. David R. Hawkins to guide readers on the path to enlightenment.This collection of inspiring quotes from world-renowned consciousness researcher and mystic Dr. David R. Hawkins can help readers elevate their level of consciousness. In doing so, they will explore ways to understand truth, raise their awareness, and find enlightenment and infinite peace.Readers will engage with some of Dr. Hawkins's most profound insights from his classic works, such as:To best serve the world, seek enlightenment and transcend illusions rather than contribute to them.Success comes about automatically from knowing where to look. Not what to look for, but where to look. We do not look at what we have, nor at what we do, but at what we are. Once we find within ourselves what we've been searching for, we won't have to bother looking "out there."We can't own that which is great within ourselves unless we learn to recognize it in others.Peace comes with total inner surrender to what is.By continuously letting go, it is possible to stay in that state of freedom. Feelings come and go, and eventually you realize that you are not your feelings, but that the real "you" is merely witnessing them.

Daily Reminders for Living a New Paradigm
by Anne Wilson SchaefAs a species, says author, teacher, and healer Anne Wilson Schaef, we humans aren’t functioning very well. In fact, the societies we’ve created are actively destructive, not only to themselves but to all life on this planet and even to the planet itself. Clearly it’s time for a change. We need a new paradigm, and we need a way to live it.This new paradigm isn’t something we can outline clearly and implement programmatically. To arrive at a new way of living with ourselves, one another, and the planet is a journey that requires faith, because we can’t see exactly where it will lead. Quite frankly, where it will lead is, at this point, beyond our imagination.However, we do have some resources to bring to the table. Schaef, whose classic and beloved works include Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much and Meditations for Living in Balance, explains that deep within ourselves —in our cells, in our blood, in our souls —we have the ancient knowledge we need to find our way. We simply need to be reminded of what we already know —and this book is written to help us remember. Schaef takes thirty themes, one for each day of the month (months with 31 days get a "wild card" day), and offers a cycle of reflections on each theme that expands and deepens over the course of the year. Through insightful reflections on Beliefs and Assumptions, Honesty, Entitlement, Accepting Our Humanness, and Walking in Beauty, we enter a process that broadens our perspective and opens our minds so we can live fully into a new future.

by Carmen Muñoz¿Te has preguntado cómo le han hecho algunas parejas para amarse plenamente? ¿Será que amar es un aprendizaje que nunca termina? Y si termina, ¿por dónde empieza? No te preocupes, yo me sentía tan dudosa como puedes sentirte tú en este momento. Cómo me hubiera gustado saber entonces un poco de lo que sé ahora sobre crecer en el amor. Me habría evitado varias decepciones y un corazón roto. Es por eso que, para ahorrarte dos que tres desilusiones, quiero compartirte mi historia y las de otras personas, historias de amor y desamor que escuché y de las que aprendí. Porque, aunque ya lleves un tramo recorrido o apenas estés emprendiendo tu camino en los terrenos sentimentales, estoy segura de que leer este libro te guiará a esa relación que siempre has soñado. Ya sabes, no existen fórmulas ni pócimas mágicas, pero sí hay manera de darle vuelta a los problemas recurrentes, sí se puede tener una sexualidad placentera, sí es posible construir un plan de vida juntos y, sobre todo, sí hay un comienzo: ámate primero, date un like y luego dáselo al amor.
Dall' altro lato della luna
by Asma ElferkoussSono stata guidata mentre scrivevo " Dall' altro lato della luna". Parole che sono nate spontaneamente, cristalline come acqua di fonte, mi hanno permesso di vedermi con chiarezza, di arrivare al di là di quello che credevo su di me e sul mondo che mi circonda. Mi hanno permesso di attraversare l'abisso, di fronteggiare i miei limiti, queste barriere che io stessa ho costruito senza rendermene conto, per proteggermi dalla mia vera natura. Se vi sentite pronti a immergervi nelle profondità di voi stessi, pronti a viaggiare al di là dello spazio-tempo, pronti ad imbarcarvi verso una nuova prospettiva di vita, allora questo libro sarà a sua volta pronto ad accogliervi e ad accompagnarvi durante tutta la vostra avventura. Un passaggio transitorio tra il mondo sottile che ci abita e l'ambiente che ci circonda. "Dall' altro della luna" vi invita a intraprendere un viaggio unisce la magia dell' evasione alla realtà terrena. Cariche di energia, le parole vi trasporteranno attraverso le pagine in dimensioni parallele. Una destinazione che esiste e che è là pronta ad accogliervi e farvi vedere... Al di là delle apparenze.
Dalla dipendenza all'Amore: Il cammino verso la mia Fiamma Gemella
by Asma ElferkoussÈ possibile provare Amore qualsiasi cosa facciamo? Essere amati sebbene non si senta di meritarlo? Sentirsi uniti e connessi nonostante i diversi percorsi di vita? Non sapevo che tutto questo fosse possibile prima di provarlo sulla mia stessa pelle… non è stato facile per me che confondevo Amore e dipendenza, per me che immaginavo le relazioni amorose come una prigione. Questo percorso alchemico mi ha spinto a guardare verso orizzonti inaspettati, mi ha aperto gli occhi su verità che mai avrei immaginato e mi ha spinto a credere in sogni che mai avrei osato realizzare. Con questo racconto voglio condividere con voi il mio cammino iniziatico, la mia nuova consapevolezza, e vi invito ad immergervi in queste pagine per scoprire l’Amore.
Damage Control: Women on the Therapists, Beauticians, and Trainers Who Navigate Their Bodies
by Emma ForrestTraditionally, women share their secrets with their hairdressers. But what about their manicurists, masseurs, chi gong teachers, and tattoo artists? In Damage Control, women wax poetic about the experts and gurus who help them love themselves, sharing stories of everything from friendships born in the make-up chair to the utter dismay of a truly horrible haircut. Minnie Driver finally meets a Frenchman who understands her hair . . . and tries to teach her not to hate it.Marian Keyes remembers the blow-dry that pushed her over the edge.Francesca Lia Block tells the ugly story of the plastic surgeon who promised to make her beautiful.Rose McGowan explains why it's harder to be depressed when you're glamorous . . . and shows how it takes a village to transform from mere mortal to movie star.Witty and wise, Damage Control is an intimate, sometimes dark, look at our experiences with the professionals who pluck, prod, and pamper every inch of our bodies—and a reminder why we surrender ourselves to their (hopefully) very capable hands.
