To Live Fully, Here and Now


Book Description

To Live Fully, Here and Now formulates a coherent and comprehensive understanding of Alice Walker's spiritual wisdom in the age of heightened global awareness, natural devastation, and spiritual crisis. Simcikova argues that to fully understand Walker's complex and multi-layered concept of spirituality, we have to move beyond the womanist model to incorporate and/or accommodate all the influences that have had a significant impact on Walker, particularly her interest in Native American spirituality. Simcikova also offers a new paradigm of wholeness, unity, and interconnectedness for critical analysis of her Walker's latest works. This ground-breaking book will find audiences across disciplines as it addresses the fundamental ethical question of what it means to be human.

Radical Acceptance


Book Description

In our current times of global crises and spiking collective anxiety, Tara Brach’s transformative practice of Radical Acceptance offers a pathway to inner freedom and a more compassionate world. This classic work now features an insightful new introduction, an exclusive bonus chapter, and additional guided meditations. “Radical Acceptance offers us an invitation to embrace ourselves with all our pain, fear, and anxieties, and to step lightly yet firmly on the path of understanding and compassion.”—Thich Nhat Hanh “Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering,” says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork—all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach’s forty years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students. Writing with great warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive through personal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhist tales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she shows us how we can stop being at war with ourselves and begin to live fully every precious moment of our lives.




The Here and Now


Book Description

In today's fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded with distractions, responsibilities, and the pressure to always be on the go. We are so focused on the future, planning and worrying about what's to come, that we often forget to live in the present moment. But what if we told you that the power to find happiness and fulfillment in life lies in the present moment? This book is about the power of now and how it can help you harness the present moment to live a happier and more fulfilling life. The idea of living in the present moment is not new. It has been a part of many spiritual traditions for centuries. However, with the rise of mindfulness practices and the increasing amount of research on the benefits of living mindfully, the concept of the present moment has become more mainstream in recent years. Living in the present moment means being fully engaged in the here and now, paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or distraction. It means letting go of the past and not worrying about the future, but instead focusing on the present moment, embracing it, and fully experiencing it. In this book, we will explore the power of the present moment and how it can transform your life. We will delve into the concept of time and how it affects our perception of reality. We will also discuss the nature of the mind, the ego, and how they can influence our thoughts and emotions. This book is designed to be accessible to anyone, regardless of their experience with mindfulness practices or spirituality. We will provide practical tips and techniques for cultivating mindfulness and living in the present moment. We will explore the many benefits of living mindfully, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved physical and mental health, and stronger relationships. We will also discuss the role of intention, acceptance, and gratitude in cultivating mindfulness. We believe that living in the present moment is not only a powerful tool for personal growth but also a way to bring more peace and harmony to the world. When we are fully present, we are more aware of our surroundings and the needs of others. We are more compassionate, empathetic, and understanding. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and mindfulness. Whether you are new to the concept of living in the present moment or have been practicing mindfulness for years, we hope that this book will provide you with practical tools, inspiration, and guidance to harness the power of now and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Happier Here and Now


Book Description

'A tale of loss and hope, of strength drawn from truly inhabiting the moment.' - Raynor Winn, bestselling author ofThe Salt Path Heartwarming non fiction up lit about starting over and embracing life, one simple moment at a time. Shattered when her 25-year marriage comes to an abrupt and painful end, writer Mary Jane Grant runs away to London to immerse herself in any reality but her own. Reeling from the shock and loss of her marriage and the life she's known, she begins to discover that if she can just focus on the moment, take notice of the people, the sights and smells around her, that her pain and grief start to recede. From the bustling cafes of Camden and the pastel-coloured streets of Primrose Hill, to the sun soaked vineyards of the south of France, her journey leads her to rich new experiences that she could never have imagined in her old life. Real connections are made, she lets go of the things she no longer needs, and takes pleasure in the good, generous and beautiful parts of life that she encounters every day. Beautifully and succinctly told, this is a story about what happens when you embrace life, whatever it may bring, with surprising - and joyful - results. While the tea steeped, I split open the muffin and slathered butter across the warm, crumbly surface. I watched the butter melt. I took a bite. Memories of my grandmother's kitchen came back. I cradled the smooth white cup in my hand, ran my fingers over the uneven top of the time-worn wooden table. I looked around the place and watched people. Time passed. I realised that it was an hour since I first saw the sign telling me to smell the tea. And, all this time I had been possessed of neither sad memories nor anxious worries. I was completely and simply here, with the tea, the place, the people, myself. I was present. And it felt wonderful.

Here and Now


Book Description

What is time? We measure it and we use it to measure an infinite number of things. We try to save it. We live in it. (Can we live without it?) Paul told us to redeem it but we have to admit that we do not perfectly understand what it means. Has it real existence of its own? Or is it something man has made up as an aid to measuring the sequence and duration of events or to describing historical incidents in relation to each other? Even for the greatest scientists it is hard to define, it remains to some extent a mystery—one of the most fascinating. In a series of inspiring meditations, Chiara Lubich shows us that living the present moment is our way to be connected with what is unlimited: eternity. It puts us in touch, already here on earth, with heaven. “In the light of her Christian faith and a lifetime of experience with her friends, Chiara Lubich gives us advice on how to use well the `here and now.' If we focus on the present moment, we are planting a seed in eternity, to be enjoyed forever.” Julian Stead, O.S.B. Author of Saint Benedict: A Rule for Beginners
