With hundreds of books on the market today urging readers to develop mindfulness, pointing to the condition of "awakening" that most religious/philosophical traditions aim toward, this new addition by Red Hawk stands head and shoulders above the crowd. It offers detailed practical guidelines that allow one to know with certainty-not from imagination, theory, thought, or lying-when one is Present and Awake; it details the objective feedback mechanisms available to everyone for attaining this certainty: Am I awake now? How do I know? Sincere readers will find that help in answering these two questions is invaluable and life-changing. Written from the perspective of a practitioner of more than thirty years-one who has studied the significant work of his predecessors, received instruction from two spiritual masters (Osho Rajneesh and Mister Lee Lozowick), and trained rigorously within daily life. This book is the first detailed examination of the Practice-of-Presence (called "self remembering" in the Gurdjieff tradition). The author's aim is to give general guidelines in this practice, discuss its implications, and then offer specific instruction. Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love is meant to be a companion piece, volume ii, to the author's previous book Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience, which is fast becoming a classic. Taken together, they present the most detailed examination of the practice available in English. He clearly points out that self remembering is only one half of a foundational spiritual practice called "self observation/self remembering." Where other authors/teachers have gone wrong in the past is to take only one half of this practice and consider it the whole, entire unto itself. Mister Gurdjieff's student, A.R. Orage (1873-1934), made this mistake with self observation; contemporary teacher Robert Burton made a similar error with his book, also titled Self Remembering. While P.D. Ouspensky speaks of the practice of self remembering in his seminal book In Search of the Miraculous, and Rodney Collin in The Theory of Celestial Influence, there has not been a book-length study on self remembering that examines the practice from the many angles that Red Hawk's does. His chapters cover such diverse yet integrated topics as The Removal of Self Importance; Kaya Sadhana or the wisdom of the body; and Separation Grief, i.e., addressing the terror of our current situation without denial or dramatics.

This book presents a short, simple and readily-accessible summary of the internal and external therapeutic uses of the 12 essential tissue salts, commonly called "cell salts." The use of cell salts to treat a wide variety of health-related conditions has been extremely popular in Europe (especially in Germany) for many years. Today, there is widespread and growing interest in this branch of homeopathic treatment in the U.S., as evidenced by the inclusion of these twelve cell salts in special displays in health food stores across the country. Cell salts (tissue salts) exist in every human body. They are the inorganic biochemical elements found in the blood and tissues. They are the builders and the catalysts for many essential processes. For example, most people have heard of potassium chloride, but probably few realize that it is first and foremost a tissue salt (cell salt) essential to the digestive process. This salt unites with hydrogen to form HCL (hydrochloric acid), aids in the production of bile, serves as an alkalizer, and helps in digestive enzyme formation. Therefore, it is a dynamic component of health. Twelve cell salts were identified in the 1850s by European scientists, and this knowledge was soon added to the materia medica of physicians and practitioners throughout Europe. Today, homeopathic practitioners and naturopathic doctors in the United States and other countries are beginning to revive the use of cell salt supplementation in successfully treating a spectrum of disease conditions. Much of what has been previously written on cell salts is in somewhat archaic medical language, which is decidedly hard to understand. Mr. Card's new book is different. He explains cell salts in a comprehensive fashion, yet simply, and in modern language; gives clear instruction in how to use cell salts, and supplies extensive lists of various disease- or imbalance-conditions that can be helped by cell salt supplementation. A section on the external uses of cell salts, something seldom revealed in the English language, is also included. Finally, the author makes a correspondence between the twelve signs of the zodiac and the use of each of the twelve different cell salts. The book is clearly indexed for ease of usage.

Free Range Learning presents eye-opening data about the meaning and importance of natural learning. This datafrom neurologists, child development specialists, anthropologists, educators, historians and business innovatorsturns many current assumptions about school-based education upside down. The books factual approach is balanced by quotes and stories from over 100 homeschoolers from the U.S., Canada, Germany, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Mexico, India and Singapore. These parents and kids are the true authorities on alternative learning. Written for interested parents and educators, Free Range Learning will also encourage and excite those who want their children to have the benefits, but who are timid to approach homeschooling. This is the only book anyone needs to make the choice and start the process of homeschooling children, and is applicable for young people from pre-school through high school. Studies indicate that adults who were homeschooled are: More likely to vote, volunteer and be involved in their communities than graduates of conventional schools. Read more books than average. More likely to have taken college level courses than the population as a whole. Tend to be independent and self-reliant. Free Range Learning presents the simple choice to homeschool as something much more significant than a homespun method of education. Weldon asks us to consider this choice as participation in a cultural shift toward redefining success; and as a form of collective intelligence with major implications for the future of education. Children are naturally free range learners, she says. They build knowledge and skills naturally, within the full spectrum of their daily lives, while observing, exploring and pursuing their interests. This book guides any parent or educator in assisting that process. Free Range Learning demonstrates: that children and teens can best be nurtured outside of restrictive educati

This childrens picture book is the sequel to Hohm Presss highly-successful We Like to Nurse. Like its predecessor, We Like to Nurse Too draws attention to our kinship with all mammals, using simple text and showing delightful full-color illustrations of animal mothers naturally feeding their babies. The illustrations and text in We Like to Nurse Too focus on sea mammals living in the oceans of our shared planet home. Children learn about the nursing habits of animals they love from all parts of the worldsea lions, manatees, porpoises, whales, polar bears, walruses and others. This book serves a dual function. First, it is a celebration of the mother-infant bond that is naturally established through nursing. Because of its commitment to family health and the well-being of infants and children, Hohm Press is proud to present another title that stresses the benefits of human infant breastfeeding. This book joins We Like to Nurse, and Breastfeeding: Your Priceless Gift to Your Baby and Yourself in our Family Health Series, along with other titles like To Touch is To Live, and Conscious Parenting. Secondly, the book takes a stand for the health of the environment, honoring the Earth and all her creatures. Jacques Cousteau, the famed oceanographer, has said We protect what we love. Today, the ocean environment and its inhabitants is threatened by hunters, by the melting of polar ice caps, and by the pollution and debris dumped without conscience into our waters. However, careful decisions made by humans can save our planet. We believe that introducing young children to the nursing habits of sea mammals can foster a love and concern that will grow to protect the Earth we love.

In an age where ninety percent of the public under the age of 35 suffers from Attention-Deficit Disorder (the attention function in the brain having been badly damaged by TV and computers), this book offers the most direct non-pharmaceutical means of healing this disorder and restoring Attention-function to a fully functional, efficient, and powerful working tool for success in life and in relationships. It is an in-depth examination of the process of self-study, known as self observation. Know thyself is the most ancient of teachings for awakening. Self observation is the means. In an age when humanity has lost its connect with conscience, when humanity has poisoned the Earths atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, what is the root cause? Failure to develop conscience. We are a race without conscience. Self-observation is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life. This book is for the lay-reader. The beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and meditation, but almost none on self-study via self-observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of explication, and richness of experience which this book offers. Nobody really details how to recognize and dealt with the habits of a lifetime, whether in personal, spiritual or work life.

Maher offers compelling testimony to the power of women in community to overcome some of the most oppressive social conditions, and thus offers inspiration and hope for oppressed women and children across the globe. Women Healing Women in India is rich with storiespoignant firsthand accounts by women and children whose lives have been transformed by the Maher project. Notable insights and statistics about the plight of oppressed women in India and everywhere are woven throughout this book. Later chapters explore the larger implications this pioneering work, with guidance for implementing similar projects elsewhere. The operating principles and practices implemented at Maher are transferable to other potential projects, both in India and abroad. This book articulates this potential, and recounts how Maher has already begun a training program for social workers, clergy, and other clinical professionals, who take these lessons back to their home communities and begin to implement them there. Among the reasons for Maher's uniquenessand suc

Lozowick once again gracefully and humorously presents His argument for living our Enlightenment (God) at once and abandoning deadening positionality that often becomes the student's substitute for real spiritual life. He announces the good news. Enlightenment is not scarce; survival is not an issue. Living Grace is available.

This is a heart-opening poetry of longing and love from the last great poet in the classical Persian tradition.

With sparkling clarity and humour, Rick Lewis explains exactly what meditation can offer to those who are ready to establish an island of sanity in the midst of an active life. This book offers a comprehensive look at everything a beginner would need to start a meditation practice, including how to befriend an overactive mind and how to bring the fruits of meditation into all aspects of daily life. Experienced mediators will also find refreshing perspectives to both nourish and refine their practice. Lewis's twenty-five years of disciplined sitting practice allow him to clarify common myths and confusions about meditation and its applications to life. His use of both inspiring insights and practical examples, together with anecdotes from the lives of masters and students of many traditions, make this book immediately accessible for mediators of all levels.

A savoury new collection nominated for the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in Literature. An impressive sequel to his previous work which was also nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. A reviewer once described Red Hawk's poetry as "having that rarest of all virtues: a sense of civilization." Another said that his "poems are so exquisite, they seem almost to have been translated from an alien tongue." Nowhere is that talent more on display than here, in his third book of poems.

A collection of poems by Ramprasand Sen, written in Bengal in the 18th century. The works express his passionate devotion for the Great Mother Goddess, primarily in her manifestation as Kali, the dark goddess and gaurdian of the cycles of birth and death.

Brilliantly illustrated, this book celebrates the wonder of breastfeeding in humans and animals. A lovely book for young children and mothers.
