With the advent of mind-body medicine, it is now possible to combine the healing principles of both the medical and spiritual fields. To this end, Dr. Phil Shapiro has developed a ten-step, self-help model that he uses himself and teaches to his students and patients.After you have received your medication, surgery, or natural remedy and you are still in pain, there are a variety of psychosocial and spiritual methods that can help you manage that pain skillfully. The ten-step model described in this book is a composite of healing principles and methods extracted from the great wisdom traditions and organized into cognitive-behavioral practices. These techniques are designed to help the reader accomplish three goals:1. Expand healing power: for body, mind, and soul2. Become more skillful pain managers: for any pain, problem, disease, or disability3. Evolve spiritually: feel better, become a better person, and experience higher states of consciousnessTo take advantage of the healing principles embedded in the religions, we need to solve the problem of toxic language and traumatic religious history. There is a way to do this. We can design healing models that serve people of all persuasions: Baptists, Sufis, ethical humanists, scientific atheists, true believers, true non-believers—all of us have the same magnificent healing power in every cell of our bodies, and we know how to make it grow.The ten steps do not declare answers to life’s big questions, such as why we are born, why there is so much suffering and evil, whether there is a God, and where we go after death. However, we can apply the wealth of healing wisdom in the great faith traditions to help us manage our pain and heal. This book is written for atheists, agnostics, religious or spiritual persons. Anyone can play in the expanded field of healing power.

Something within each of us yearns to find meaning in our lives, and to discover the reason we are here in this time and place. The search for purpose is age-old, and it compels us to move forward, to learn and to grow. Lissa Coffey, well known for her inspiring blend of ancient wisdom and modern style, brings us Vedanta’s Four Yogas, and explores how each one can help us to define our unique purpose. What’s Your Dharma? guides us on a journey of self-discovery, and shows us how to create a lifestyle where we can express ourselves creatively and feel fulfilled. “Dharma” is a Sanskrit word meaning “purpose.” We each come to feel at some point in our lives that there is something important for us to do, or learn, or experience. As we grow in awareness, we seek to know our dharma, to fulfill our purpose, to somehow have our lives make sense in the context of everything that is going on in the world. In Vedic philosophy, there are four yogas, or paths, that can lead us to our dharma: Bhakti Yoga is the path of love and devotion. Karma Yoga is the path of work, and service. Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge. Raja Yoga is the path of meditation. Although we each have attributes within ourselves that lead us toward each of these paths, one path calls to us more profoundly. Start by taking the quiz to find your dharma, or purpose in life, and start living your life with meaning right now. Read more

It’s been dreamt about for thousands of years. It’s been pondered by the greatest thinkers. It’s been searched for by the faithful. Now we have it: definitive evidence for God! Over One Hundred stunning new convergences of Science and Spirituality show God exists. The ‘science versus spirituality’ debate is over. Science and spirituality converge! The numerous new convergences discovered by Patel regard ancient descriptions of our Earth, Galaxy, and Universe. Hugely important findings, some of them have been published in two international science journals and have been hailed by many as the discovery of the millennium. These convergences will captivate millions of readers interested in science and spirituality alike. Easily accessible to a general reader, this book describes the immense universe of ancient Indian Yogis and its many correspondences with modern science. Their universe – and minds – were infinite and borderless. Their description of the cosmos is authentic even in minute details and they espoused an all-embracing God. The fruits of twenty years of research, Patel also shows how Genesis in the Bible has been greatly misunderstood and that it actually converges with science, too. It turns out that Genesis is a synopsis of more detailed descriptions given in ancient Yoga Literature. Genesis now shines in a whole new light, finally ending the centuries-old debate of its seven-day timeline and the event of Noah’s Flood. In this first of a series of extraordinary books, Patel expounds eloquently and convincingly that it was not the ancients who didn’t know what they were talking about, but we who didn’t know what they were talking about. That is ... until now! Read more

Erin Reese is a one-of-a-kind travel writer—a spiritual seeker and solo backpacker who dropped out of a successful career in corporate America, hit the road, and never looked back. Packed with plenty of spicy curry, cows, and comedy, Bindi Girl takes us on one heck of a wild ride across India. From Dharamsala and the Dalai Lama to ashrams, yoga schools, and meditation melodramas, Bindi educates and entertains as she goes. We discover the Hindu deities, the tourist trap mafia, and the beach havens of the hippie trail. From "Guru Disney" to the holy hell of Varanasi, Bindi's got us clamoring for more masala chai all the way. When Bindi meets an attractive young stranger who is more than her mental and physical match, her fiery spirit is put to the test. He whisks her off to the furthest reaches of India—the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. There, in an isolated jungle, they attempt to live out a Robinson Crusoe fantasy. Will it be the Garden of Eden or end up a natural disaster? Among the wild beauty and danger of the islands and the kooky madness of "typical India," Reese takes us deep into the heart of a country and her very self. Bindi Girl is a gift to the traveler, the spiritual seeker, and the armchair tourist—anyone yearning for honest inspiration and a real kick to get out and truly live! Read more
