Synchronicity is when the universe gets personal. Through this book of games and enchanting stories, you'll learn how to monitor the play of coincidence and the symbolic resonance of incidents in daily life in order to tap into the deeper logic of events, receive extraordinary counsel, and have wonderful fun. You will be invited to become a kairomancer: someone who is poised to catch the messages in special moments when synchronicity is in play - and to take action to seize the opportunities those moments present. To be a kairomancer, you need to trust your feelings as you walk the roads of this world, to develop your personal science of shivers, and to recognize in your gut and your skin that you know far more than you hold on the surface of consciousness. This is a way of real magic, which is the art of bringing gifts from a deeper world into this one. Follow it, and you will put a champagne fizz of enchantment into your everyday life.

Women face many challenging transitions on the pilgrimage from girlhood through womanhood: menses, love and heartbreak, motherhood, menopause. Devoid of a central narrative, these rites of passage too often happen in shame and secrecy, leaving women doubting their personal power and self-worth. Bestselling author and founder of The Way of the Happy Woman(R), Sara Avant Stover saw how women erroneously viewed these initiations as "e;curses"e; and sought to present a new model that reflected the power and wisdom unique to the feminine path. The Book of SHE celebrates all that it means to be a woman, from mythological underpinnings to the cycles of our day-to-day lives. Drawing on archetypes including Mary Magdalene, the Dark Goddess, and Green Tara, Stover will guide you on a journey home to psychological wholeness, personal empowerment, and, ultimately, full feminine spiritual Awakening. Brimming with mystery and magic, this provocative book makes ancient wisdom and healing practices accessible to every woman who is ready to revel in her full femininity - the dark and the light - through joyfully becoming the heroine of her own life.

A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "e;old ones"e; still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and the complex, unforgettable characters we have come to know from Neither Wolf nor Dog and The Wolf at Twilight. Part history, part mystery, part spiritual journey and teaching story, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is filled with the profound insight into humanity and Native American culture we have come to expect from Nerburn's journeys. As the American Indian College Fund has stated, once you have encountered Nerburn's stirring evocations of America's high plains and incisive insights into the human heart, "e;you can never look at the world, or at people, the same way again."e;

Joseph Campbell famously defined myth as “other people''s religion.” But he also said that one of the basic functions of myth is to help each individual through the journey of life, providing a sort of travel guide or map to reach fulfillment — or, as he called it, bliss. For Campbell, many of the world''s most powerful myths support the individual''s heroic path toward bliss.In Pathways to Bliss, Campbell examines this personal, psychological side of myth. Like his classic best-selling books Myths to Live By and The Power of Myth, Pathways to Bliss draws from Campbell''s popular lectures and dialogues, which highlight his remarkable storytelling and ability to apply the larger themes of world mythology to personal growth and the quest for transformation. Here he anchors mythology''s symbolic wisdom to the individual, applying the most poetic mythical metaphors to the challenges of our daily lives.Campbell dwells on life''s important questions. Combining cross-cultural stories with the teachings of modern psychology, he examines the ways in which our myths shape and enrich our lives and shows how myth can help each of us truly identify and follow our bliss.

While resilience is innate in the brain, our capacity for it can be impaired by our conditioning. Unhelpful patterns of response are learned over time and can become fixed in our neural circuitry. What neuroscience now shows is that what previously seemed hardwired can be rewired.

Can you be an atheist and still believe in God?Can you be a true believer and still doubt?Can Zen give us a way past our constant fighting about God?Brad Warner was initially interested in Buddhism because he wanted to find God, but Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. In the three decades since Warner began studying Zen, he has grappled with paradoxical questions about God and managed to come up with some answers. In this fascinating search for a way beyond the usual arguments between fundamentalists and skeptics, Warner offers a profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the "e;ground of all being."e;

Personal growth pioneer Shakti Gawain has been mentoring readers toward optimal living for three decades.

Here, with her trademark insight and accessibility, Gawain highlights the transformative power of bringing the light of awareness to every aspect of the self - intuitive wisdom and rationality, power and vulnerability, peacemaker and warrior. Exercises on subjects including creativity, the world as mirror, relationships, parenting, money, health, and transforming the world help readers put Gawain's teachings to personal, practical use. Together they compose a comprehensive map to growth, ful?llment, and heightened consciousness. Today, as people grapple with personal, national, and global challenges on many fronts, Living in the Light is timelier than ever - for both longtime fans and ?rst-time readers.

Though he lived in the thirteenth century, Meister Eckhart's deeply ecumenical teachings were in many ways modern. He taught about what we call ecology, championed artistic creativity, and advocated for social, economic, and gender justice. All these elements have inspired spiritual maverick Matthew Fox and influenced his Creation Spirituality. Here, Fox creates metaphorical meetings between Eckhart and Teilhard de Chardin, Thich Nhat Hanh, Carl Jung, Black Elk, Rumi, Adrienne Rich, and other radical thinkers. The result is profoundly insightful, substantive, and inspiring.

In Sit Down and Shut Up, Brad Warner tackles one of the great works of Zen literature, the Shobogenzo by 13th-century Zen master Dogen. Illuminating Dogen’s enigmatic teachings in plain language, Warner intertwines sharp philosophical musings on sex, evil, anger, meditation, enlightenment, death, God, sin, and happiness with an exploration of the power and pain of the punk rock ethos. Riffing on his triumphant return to Ohio for a reunion concert of Akron punk bands, Brad uncovers the real heart of Zen, in teachings and stories with a sharp smack of truth,.

Do you know someone who...— Has trouble being close to others?— Has a strong need to be right – all the time?— Acts self-centered and egotistical?— Never asks for help?— Expects perfection in self and others?— Seldom appears vulnerable or weak?— Has difficulty relaxing?If so, this person may suffer from counter-dependency, the little-known flip side of co-dependency. The Flight from Intimacy, by psychologists Janae and Barry Weinhold, reveals counter-dependency as the major barrier to creating intimate relationships. People with counter-dependent behaviors appear strong, secure, and successful on the outside, while on the inside they feel weak, fearful, insecure, and needy. They function well in the world of business but often struggle in intimate relationships. Being in a relationship with this kind of person can be extremely frustrating.The Flight from Intimacy shows readers how to recognize and cope with counter-dependent people. And if you recognize yourself in the description above, this book will help you learn how to change. It teaches readers how to use committed relationships to heal childhood wounds and provides proven ways to use conflicts as opportunities for creating intimate, partnership relationships.

Alan Watts - noted author and respected authority on Far Eastern thought - studied Taoism extensively, and in his final years moved to a quiet cabin in the mountains and dedicated himself almost exclusively to meditating and writing on the Tao. This new book gives us an opportunity to not only understand the concept of the Tao but to experience the Tao as a personal practice of liberation from the limitations imposed by the common beliefs within our culture. The philosophy of the Tao offers a way to understand the value of ourselves as free-willed individuals enfolded within the ever-changing patterns of nature. The path of the Tao is perhaps the most puzzling way of liberation to come to us from the Far East in the last century. It is both practical and esoteric, and it has a surprisingly comfortable quality of thought that is often overlooked by Western readers who never venture beyond the unfamiliar quality of the word Tao (pronounced "e;dow"e;). But those who do soon discover a way of understanding and living with the world that has profound implications for us today in so-called modern societies. The word Tao means the Way - in the sense of a path, a way to go - but it also means nature, in the sense of one's true nature, and the nature of the universe. Often described as the philosophy of nature, we find the origins of Taoism in the shamanic world of pre-Dynastic China. Living close to the earth, one sees the wisdom of not interfering, and letting things go their way. It is the wisdom of swimming with the current, splitting wood along the grain, and seeking to understand human nature instead of changing it. Every creature finds it's way according to the laws of nature, and each of us has our own inner path - or Tao.

From a trailblazing female financial advisor, wealth planner, and money coach, a guide to reframing your relationship with money by redefining wealth, recognizing the “power of enough,” and creating satisfaction, joy, and connection Most of us feel overwhelmed and intimidated by money, confused by the complexity and abstraction of building wealth, nagged by the sense that even if we make a good living and have material things, we’re lacking something. The Power of Enough is designed to shift this mindset by exploring the ways in which our relationships with money affect well-being and how financial systems hinder our pursuit of genuine happiness. Written by a female financial advisor who has spent over two decades exploring the intersection of economics and finance with spirituality and psychology, this innovative guide argues that wealth is a state of being rather than a thing to accumulate, possess, and hold. By reframing our approach to money, Elizabeth Husserl shows that wealth should not be an end in itself, but instead is a means to vibrant living. Exercises throughout the book help readers: • define what “enough” means to them and adopt habits and practices to embody it • use money as a mirror that reflects their true depths and facilitates holding themselves accountable • understand money archetypes and the roles they play in our dynamics with money • identify their financial DNA: the cultural and familial money-related beliefs, behaviors, and habits we inherit and pass down to our heirs Designed to help readers create a life rooted in an understanding of their unique needs, The Power of Enough offers a path to financial satisfaction and, ultimately, joy.

A comprehensive guide to collaboratively building a community and literary reputation through small presses and magazines — and opting out of the “Big Five” publishing lottery Most beginning writers dream of huge book deals with big-name publishers, multicity book tours, and breathless write-ups praising their brilliant, bestselling debut. Eager to sustain this dream, most publishing guides focus on querying, finding an agent, and publishing a book with one of the “Big Five” mainstream, corporate publishing houses. The result for new writers is often frustration, disillusionment with the process, and, ultimately, a sense of creative failure. This first-of-its-kind guide suggests a different path, one that takes seriously the process of submitting to small presses and literary magazines and choosing a route to publication that is writer-led, community-based, and more accessible. It’s also a manifesto for finding joy in the process of submission, arguing that it should give writers energy, not take it from them. In How to Submit, veteran small press author and instructor Dennis James Sweeney shares the secrets of his success, such as: • practical advice on formulating a submissions plan, including choosing where to submit and whether to submit to contests • tips for writing a standout cover letter, as well as using an encouraging rejection letter to greatest advantage • strategies on how to manage wait times and payment • a vision of a publishing landscape that includes authors alongside editors and publishers, all working together to expand the possibilities of the literary world Perfect for writers of any genre, How to Submit demystifies the small press and literary magazine world for those seeking a place for their work that really feels like home.

An updated edition of a beloved classic, Creative Mythology tells the inner story of humanity's entire philosophical, spiritual, and artistic history since the Dark Ages, ultimately positioning each of us as the creator of our own mythology In this fourth and final volume in The Masks of God series -- Joseph Campbell's major work of comparative mythology -- the preeminent mythologist looks at the birth of the modern, individualistic mythology as it developed in Europe beginning in the twelfth century. Tracing the disintegration of orthodox tradition up through the radical art and philosophies of the late twentieth century, Campbell arrives at an astonishing insight: modern humans are the first to witness the creation of myth and position themselves as the center of their own mythology. Presaging our current era of personal brands, curated feeds, and celebrity influence, he wrote upon completion of this final volume, "[The unity of humanity] has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge." Updated with recent findings from archeology, anthropology, and psychology that support his perceptive analysis of human cultural evolution, this new edition of Creative Mythology remains as vital, revelatory, and urgent as the original did upon publication more than half a century ago.

An updated edition of the beloved final volume in Joseph Campbell’s monumental Masks of God series, Creative Mythology tells the inner story of humanity’s entire philosophical, spiritual, and artistic history since the Dark Ages, ultimately positioning each of us as the creator of our own mythology.

Upon completing Creative Mythology, he wrote that his work on The Masks of God had confirmed his long-held belief in the unity of humanity, “which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and, today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge.” Updated with new illustrations that support Campbell’s perceptive analysis of human cultural evolution, this new edition of Creative Mythology remains as vital, revelatory, and urgent as the original did upon publication more than half a century ago.
