Peace of Mind


Book Description

Live life more fully and enjoy the present moment with mindfulness practices for cultivating deeper mind-body awareness—from legendary Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh. We can’t heal with our minds alone. Thinking can be something productive and creative, but without integrating body and mind, much of our thinking is useless and unproductive. In Peace of Mind, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that integrating body and mind is the only way to be fully alive in each moment, without getting lost in our thoughts while walking, cooking, driving, and going about our everyday lives. Only by cultivating a mindful body and an embodied mind can we be fully alive. Bringing together ancient wisdom and contemporary thinking, Thich Nhat Hanh says it's like hardware and software—if you don't have both, you can't do anything. Peace of Mind provides a foundation for beginning mindfulness practices and understanding the principles of mind/body awareness. By learning how our physical body and mind are inseparable in creating our own perceptions and experiences we can begin to trust and nourish our ability to create well-being.

The Way of Grace


Book Description

“Perhaps you hunger to finally end the struggle of living from a consciousness of fear and separation. Perhaps you yearn for a saner, wiser, more spiritually elegant way to move through our world. Perhaps you are weary of the dizzying pace of a culture that drives us ever further from our true nature. There is another way: a way of Grace. This book is a hand of friendship to help you come to abide in the living presence that you are and always were.”—Miranda Macpherson, The Way of Grace Many of us struggle to truly live what we believe spiritually. What if closing that gap wasn’t about trying harder, but something quite the opposite? The Way of Grace is a guide to spiritual surrender and nondual realization based on the practice of ego relaxation—a holistic, feminine approach to welcoming all of your experience and responding with compassion and wisdom in a world in need of your unique gifts. “Grace has four primary dimensions, or ways that it comes alive,” explains Macpherson. “Ego relaxation gives us access to these dimensions, so we can stop trying to beat ourselves into spiritual shape and yield instead to an unshakable presence within.” In The Way of Grace, she shares reflections, inquiries, and meditation practices for each phase of your journey: • Relaxing into the Ground of Grace—move beyond identification with your personality and return to the felt sense of your connection to Grace as your natural and ever-present foundation • Receiving the Blessings of Grace—move beyond “the spiritual poverty of lack” and rediscover the gift of life in every moment through the portals of trust, humility, patience, and joy • The Transforming Power of Grace—move beyond that which limits your full freedom through forgiveness, compassion, unwinding ego identity, and abiding in your boundless nature • Living the Embodiment of Grace—continue to surrender anything that binds you into self-centered patterns and behaviors and become a “Grace-delivery device,” the presence of love here on Earth “Grace will always deepen, season, and bring out the very best in you,” writes Macpherson. “You are its embodiment, always and forever.” The Way of Grace will be your steady companion to “live as the fountain we were made to be, letting the living waters flow to quench our parched and tired Earth.” Foreword by Russ Hudson.

The Mysteries of the Book of Enoch A Devastating Mind Scene


Book Description

In this edition, I try to analyze more deeply the scenario both at the time the manuscript was written, in comparison to the current scenario. How they look like each other. And drawing a parallel between the two, we see human nature corrupting its values. The power syndrome looms large and devours everything. A true apocalyptic scenario is established. And a judgment will be the end result. How truths resemble and relate to each other. First let's talk about the origin of the findings of the Qumran manuscripts. I make use of other texts and manuscripts which I consider to be of great importance for us to reach a broader understanding of the past scenario and compare it with the current one. It is not possible to understand the prophetic scenario without contextualizing it using information from different sources. I also draw a parallel with the rapture experience where the manuscript writer is taken to see a desolate place which was not yet complete in its manufacture. We can see this in Chapter 21 of the manuscript. But what does this mean? What did Enoch want to talk about in this chapter? These and other questions I want to address in this book. a devastated place
