Purple Fire Phoenix Rise


Book Description

Can I trust myself enough to stop fucking myself over? Succumbing to every convenient vice and then seeking an escape? I know I should listen deeper. My heart is a portal I can access. I know this. When I do not practice what I know to work, I am directly denying my InnerTrust. I am... the InnerTRUTH. My existence is presence. Presence is all I have. Everything is channeling through and can go as easy as it comes. LET THOUGHTS GO. HOLD ON TO NOTHING. The more I hold on, the more it hurts. So my conscience begins to tell me this: take a deep breath and follow it out slowly. Breath feels best when it flows evenly; not more than a few seconds should the flow stop. Keep breathing. Keep being. Keep processing. Even keep thinking. Just be ready, at any moment, to let it all go!

Taoist Astrology


Book Description

This guide brings Chinese astrology back to its ancient roots, providing all the information you need for understanding one of the world's oldest systems of divination. The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today. Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining personality by the time of the year in which you are born, in Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. Additionally, your personality depends on which of the five traditional Taoist elements you are born under--water, wood, fire, earth, or metal. This makes for a cycle of sixty unique signs. Taoist Astrology includes information for each sign's personality, compatibility, child-parent relations, and rising and falling fortunes during the twelve-year cycle. Discussions of yin and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy, and the connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology give you all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest systems of divination known to humanity. Taoist Astrology differs from other books on the subject by grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it originated.
