The definitive feminine interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, now expanded to include all four padas

Yoga is best known for its power to create a healthy body, but the emotional and spiritual benefits of the practice are even greater. In The Secret Power of Yoga, Nischala Joy Devi offers a simple, elegant, and deeply personal interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras--the principles at the basis of Yoga practice. Hers is a heart-centered, intuitive, feminine perspective, and the first translation intended for women. Her interpretation beautifully captures the spirit of each sutra, and her suggested practices offer numerous ways to embrace the spirituality of Yoga throughout your day.

The original edition summarized the final two padas with the intention of encouraging curiosity about further practice without overwhelming the reader. But today, there is more focus on the importance of understanding the foundation of yoga than ever. With so many making a commitment to the practice of Yoga to further their own spiritual growth and development, Devi believes now is the time to give more, and has provided additional commentary and practices, making The Secret Power of Yoga a complete scripture.

Anyone who has read Patricia St. John's books already knows how her stories come alive, and this account of her own life is no exception. Her powers of description make the story leap from the page and the reader is transported to far off places and times; and the people and the things she describes can almost be touched, smelled and seen.Patricia was not just a gifted story-teller, though; she was also a deeply committed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose spiritual journey began when she was only six years old. 'My name is Patricia, ' she prayed, 'and if You are really calling me I want to come and be Yours. ' Out of that small beginning there issued a river of life and light and blessing that went on increasing right up to the end of her life. Although she always thought of herself as 'an ordinary sort of girl', her life was extraordinary because of her supreme love for Jesus Christ.The life portrayed here is not that of the self-conscious saint, concerned only with her own saintliness. On the contrary these pages offer us an inside view of someone utterly human, prone to mistakes and failures like the rest of us, yet suffused with the love of God and a contagious joy and peace that was like the bubbling up of a perpetual fountain.

Featuring favorite quotes from the original texts and E. H. Shepard's incomparable illustrations, this book offers wisdom for everyone--wisdom that our chum Pooh has gained himself, usually the hard way. With chapters entitled "For Your Inner Bear," "For Those Bothersome Days," "For When You're in a Tight Spot," and "For Those Hummy Sort of Days," Positively Pooh is the perfect means to inspire smiles and offer encouragement. This well-appointed volume will charm collectors, friends in need of a pick-me-up, and new graduates who may well have to rely on the wisdom of Winnie-the-Pooh.

A Zen study wrapped in a memoir of destruction and healing written by an elite ultrarunner as she struggles to make it to the other side of a life-shattering injury with her sanity, and her marriage, intact

After flipping her raft days away from help on a trip down the remote Salmon River, Katie Arnold's shattered leg tests both her spirit and her marriage for years to come. It also reignites her meditation practice and motivates her to dive into Zen in search of healing. Before the accident, Katie was an elite ultrarunner with a simmering but adequate marriage who avoided being indoors whenever possible. But who is she afterwards?

In the midst of hardship, Katie turns for support to the Zen practice she had long dabbled in. Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World is a Zen study wrapped in a memoir that tells the story of a search for stillness by a woman born for wildness. Spanning roughly two years, from shortly before the accident through the long, uncertain healing of both leg and marriage, it is a personal narrative of that tumultuous time nested inside meditations on Zen.

Having gone from a reluctant spiritualist to a Zen practitioner over the course of a decade, Katie Arnold offers unique company for those seeking nature's exquisite highs as well as for creatives, spiritualists, and sensualists who want to slow down and examine the possibilities of a well-lived life. As the late Japanese master Shunryu Suzuki wrote, "Sometimes a flashing will come through the dark sky." These brief flashings are enlightenment--moments when we suddenly feel as if we're part of everything, and everything's part of us. This book is about how to experience the flashings when they come, and about what they mean for how we live our lives.

Why Celebrities Swear by These 15 Powerful Techniques As The Secret to Anything You Want in Life

Do you easily complain or start nagging whenever something isn't going your way?

Do you give fault and make others responsible for your misery?

Are you annoyed looking around seeing others having exactly what you want in life?

Believe it or not, you are the driver of your own life and no one else can steal your seat...if you don't let them.

What if there were straight-forward, easy principles to get everything you want in life?

Maybe you already manifest regularly or you've heard of it, but never consciously tried it. Using manifestation means using the power of your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs to bring something into your physical reality.

At first, it sounds abstract, but science has proven, everything is made of energy objects, animals, thoughts, and humans.

There are laws that control how this energy flows and where it goes just as there are laws of gravity and laws of growth. The more you know about these laws the easier it is to navigate the energy you need in the right direction.

No wonder that even stars like Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga swear by manifestation as the secret to their success.

Jim Carrey makes it sound really simple. He says: "As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working towards it while letting go of how it comes to pass."

Yet, there are reasons why some people are better at manifesting than others.

There are a couple of fundamentals you need to understand in order to apply manifestation effectively. With a little guidance and the right techniques, your best life is waiting for you.

This is only a select sample of what you'll discover in The Magic of Manifesting

• Flap or Fab: Why you should care about manifestation more than you think
• The scientific secret behind changing your reality
• Why you might be manifesting your misery and how to avoid these common mistakes
• The smartest and most powerful way to attract anything you want in life
• Is everything connected? Essentials about energy, flow, and connection

And much more.

If you think "manifesting" is just another 2024 buzzword, then you haven't heard the success stories of millions of people who made their dreams come true with this one powerful tool.

Stop waiting for life to happen to you and start creating your best life right now.

"Reading Ellen Bernstein's Toward a Holy Ecology is to partake in a garden of delights. She refreshes our reading of the Song by enlivening all of our senses." -Rabbi Nancy Flam, Co-founder National Center for Jewish Healing, and The Institute for Jewish Spirituality

Song of Songs is known as the erotic part of the Bible, but Ellen Bernstein shows how it is also an ancient source of deep ecological wisdom.

Toward a Holy Ecology is a new translation of this Hebrew text, illuminating the place of humans in the natural world and inviting you to develop a holy, ecological language for life.

This book sets the natural world before you with intensity and beauty, inviting you to savor it with all your senses. Then you are able to return to the world with a renewed clarity, love, and energy necessary for creating a healthier future for the earth and all her inhabitants.

Toward a Holy Ecology is for all who love the earth and its inhabitants--including outdoor enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, fellow poets, feminists, and students of the humanities, religion, and ecology. It will change how you see, how you speak, and how you live.

2022 Reprint and exact facsimile of the original editions, not reproduced with Optical Recognition. Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905 - 1972), generally known as Neville, was a Barbadian New Thought author and mystic who wrote on the Bible and esotericism. He is considered one of the pioneers of the law of assumption. Goddard viewed the Bible as a parable of the human psyche as opposed to a record of historical events. He argued that the Bible had to be interpreted as guidebook to enlightenment and personal power. Therefore, Goddard did not believe in an external God who answers prayers, but rather that each of us is a creator of their lives.

Neville's thought is often considered to be akin to solipsism, nondualism and Advaita Vedanta, especially considering that he stated different times that "everyone is yourself pushed out", alluding at the fact that only God exists and everything else is an extension of said God. Goddard thought that through this "truth", people could create their own reality by assuming the "feeling of the wish fulfilled", hence, the term "law of assumption".

The author also believed that death is an illusion and thought that, once "dead", people would be "restored" in the same life they lived again, in a similar way to the Nietzschean version of the concept of the eternal return, until they experienced enlightenment and became one with God, a concept that he referred to as "God's Promise".

The Neville Collection includes, in chronological order, the complete texts of all of Neville's books:

At Your Command (1939)

Your Faith Is Your Fortune (1941)

Freedom for All (1942)

Feeling Is the Secret (1944)

Former political and war correspondent, Karen Frances McCarthy, was on assignment when she received the news that her partner had suddenly died in New York. Skeptical by nature and numbed by the tragedy, she spiraled into a deep state of grief about never communicating with him again ... until he actually did."

Till Death Don't Us Part is a true, down-to-earth, but transformational story of one woman's extraordinary journey through tragedy to awakening to the knowledge that love and life never dies.

Dr. Sloop and her husband began their lifelong dedication to the mountain people when they rode horseback into the remote hill region of North Carolina in 1909. The conditions they encountered were shockingly primitive. The people had neither doctors, nor schools and were suspicious of medicine and "larnin'." Electricity and running water were unheard of, roads were rough mountain paths and the diet consisted of "hog meat, greens and grease." The main industry was moon shining.

Dr. Sloop declared a personal war on moonshiners, tracking down hidden still with a reluctant sheriff in tow. She fought against child marriages and in a region where girls often married at the age of fourteen. With the help of the mountain people, she reinvigorated the weaving trade, built a church and a modern well equipped hospital. Her spirited support of education resulted in a modern twenty-five-building school.

An amazing story of a unique crusade in the hill country of North Carolina.

"An excellent body of practice for those wishing to explore the vast depths of the magic of the Solomonic pentacles." --David Rankine, author of The Grimoire Encyclopaedia

The Key of Solomon is a family of closely related historic grimoires legendarily attributed to Solomon, the biblical Magician King. Most famously, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers's 1889 English edition presented forty-four Hebrew seals, commonly called the "planetary pentacles." However, it offered very little guidance for how to work with them. Sara L. Mastros, a leading teacher and practitioner of magic, translates and interprets each of these pentacles and presents practical methods for working with their magical powers, creating a clear, accessible user's guide.

"Sara Mastros has provided a deep dive into the forty-four pentacles as codified by Mathers. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and her own experiences, she includes many easy-to-follow exercises for exploring them." --Joseph Peterson, author of The Secrets of Solomon

In The Sorcery of Solomon, Mastros places The Key of Solomon in a historical and folkloric context, presenting a complete, fresh translation of the forty-four pentacles, all of which have been newly illustrated. She guides the reader through the process of working with Solomonic pentacles and more. Primarily intended for intermediate-level magicians who already have a basic knowledge of spellcraft, The Sorcery of Solomon is also appropriate for beginners who are willing to do a bit of extra "homework."

"Sara Mastros manages to illuminate the past history of the pentacles while shining a light forward into the future with clear and thoughtful instruction. Not only does she fully explain the design of each pentacle, correcting many errors along the way, but she shares advice and insight gained from her own work. The Sorcery of Solomon delivers what it promises: a fully workable system of magic." --Jason Miller, author of Protection and Reversal Magic

The universe is full of purpose. Many of us are discovering that aligning our own lives, our organizations, and even our global civilization with purposeful intent can have transformative effects. In this anthology, you'll learn from leading thinkers and actors in the field of purpose. Gain insight and wisdom from Ken Wilber, Ervin Laszlo, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Duane Elgin, Bill Plotkin, Cassandra Vieten, Dustin DiPerna, Terry Patten, Emanuel Kuntzelman, and many others.

From PEN/America Award winner, 2021 Guggenheim fellow, and beloved literary and tarot icon Michelle Tea, the hilarious, powerfully written, taboo-breaking story of her journey to pregnancy and motherhood as a 40 year-old, queer, uninsured woman

Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea's route to parenthood--with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex in order to carry her younger lover's baby.

With the signature sharp wit and wild heart that have made her a favorite to so many readers, Tea guides us through the maze of medical procedures, frustrations and astonishments on the path to getting pregnant, wryly critiquing some of the systems that facilitate that choice ("a great, punk, daredevil thing to do"). In Knocking Myself Up, Tea has crafted a deeply entertaining and profound memoir, a testament to the power of love and family-making, however complex our lives may be, to transform and enrich us.

Acts tells the story of Jesus' disciples in the years following his departure. He told them to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth. The Holy Spirit filled these common people with great power and courage to share the good news of Jesus, speak truth to corrupt power systems, and open up a space where there is enough room for everyone to co-exist as siblings in the body of Christ.
Journey with these amazing men and women through this full-color graphic novel. This ancient story of how the Holy Spirit leads Jesus' disciples to break down ethnic barriers and reach across cultural taboos is vital for our world today.

Over the centuries since the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, the two groups have diverged to the point that they often no longer understand each other's vocabulary, let alone the fundamental concepts on which each faith is built. Know the Faith is an attempt to present Orthodox Christianity in a way Western Christians can understand, grounding each point in Scripture and patristic theology, with comparisons to what Catholics and Protestants believe.

Whether you are an Orthodox Christian seeking to explain your faith to others or an inquirer into this ancient faith, Know the Faith will help you understand and communicate the Orthodox faith as never before.
