Embers : one Ojibway's meditations / by Wagamese, Richard,author.;
"In this carefully curated selection of everyday reflections, Richard Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in the bush--sawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. Embers is perhaps Richard Wagamese's most personal volume to date. Honest, evocative and articulate, he explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality and spirituality--concepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. Within these pages, readers will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring reading."--

The hidden power of the five hearts : empower your thoughts, balance your emotions, and unlock vibrant health and abundance / by Snyder, Kimberly,author.;
Includes bibliographic references."New York Times best-selling author Kimberly Snyder shows that your heart is not just a muscle pumping blood through your body or a metaphor for sentimental love. It is a center of profound intelligence. When you learn to work with your heart and harness your heart intelligence, you create heart coherence, or more efficient communication between your heart, brain, and nervous system. In doing that, you can access a far deeper intelligence--heart intelligence--that infuses the whole of your life with a different kind of synergistic power, paving the path to your best performance, higher health, incredible relationships, and the ability to find better solutions throughout your day, no matter what you are doing. There are five progressive stages that make up the process of awakening your heart intelligence and heart coherence, as well as unlocking the energetic, or spiritual, heart. These five stages of heart awakening are inspired by the teachings of the revered yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru to Paramahansa Yogananda. The Five Hearts are as follows: The Dark Heart ; The Propelled Heart ; The Steady Heart ; The Devoted Heart ; The Clear Heart. As she did in You Are More Than You Think You Are, Kimberly shares a modern perspective on ancient teachings through the lens of her own spiritual journey and experiences of the heart as well as the latest research in science, psychology, and personal transformation. Using practical exercises, meditations, and journaling prompts, Kimberly teaches that following your heart does not mean going along with strong, obsessive, or erratic thoughts and emotions--whether they are anger, desire, worry, infatuation, or fear--that ultimately limit the quality of your life. Instead, heart intelligence is calm, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent; it gives you access to more mental clarity and to expansive solutions that are the best for your life in the long term. It puts your body, mind, and life into peak performance"--

How to stay human in a fucked-up world : mindfulness practices for real life / by Desmond, Tim,author.;
"A modern approach to mindfulness from an esteemed Buddhist scholar and Psychology professor. Everywhere we go, we hear about the benefits of mindfulness--to bring us joy, peace, and productivity, and even to make us look younger and live longer. Meanwhile, in the real world, things aren't so rosy: suicide rates are skyrocketing; prescription drug use is on the rise; exposure to negative news is causing PTSD-like symptoms; and we continue to report feeling disconnected, distracted, and depressed. How can we be more mindfulwhen the world is this fucked up? Tim Desmond--esteemed Buddhist scholar and lecturer on Psychology at Yale Medical School--is the fresh, engaging answer to this important question. Using techniques cultivated from the monastery of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and at Google headquarters in Silicon Valley, Tim has been inventing new ways to bridge the gap between the ancient tradition of mindfulness and modern life. In How to Stay Human in a Fucked Up World, he presents readers with exactly that--the first mindfulness practice designed for surviving the sometimes-miserable world we live in, with advice, strategies, and guidance you can start using to feel more connected, joyful, and presenttoday. Direct, witty, and surprising, with chapters titled "Why Bad Things Happen," "You're Not Crazy," and "Becoming Fearless," How to Stay Human in a Fucked Up World gets right to the heart of our collective pain with a simple practice rooted in science, self-compassion, and psychotherapy. If you've tried mindfulness before and failed, Tim gets it. Likely you were told to sit on a pillow in a dark room, meditate, or count your breaths. But mindfulness isn't about separating ourselves from the problems in the world. Instead, it is about re-learning how to get out there, connect with the suffering of every living being and in so doing, embrace our own personal suffering, let go, and move on"--
