The Humming Effect: Sound Healing for Health and Happiness
by Andi Goldman John Beaulieu Jonathan GoldmanAn accessible guide to the practice of conscious humming• Details conscious humming and breathing exercises from simple to advanced, including online access to examples of these practices• Examines the latest studies on sound, revealing how humming helps with stress levels, sleep, and blood pressure, increases lymphatic circulation, releases endorphins, creates new neural pathways in the brain, and boosts blood platelet production• Explores the spiritual use of humming, including its use as a sonic yoga technique and its role in many world traditionsHumming is one of the simplest and yet most profound sounds we can make. If you have a voice and can speak, you can hum. Research has shown humming to be much more than a self-soothing sound: it affects us on a physical level, reducing stress, inducing calmness, and enhancing sleep as well as lowering heart rate and blood pressure and producing powerful neurochemicals such as oxytocin, the “love” hormone.In this guide to conscious humming, Jonathan and Andi Goldman show that you do not need to be a musician or singer to benefit from sound healing practices—all you need to do is hum. They provide conscious humming and breathing exercises from simple to advanced, complete with online examples, allowing you to experience the powerful vibratory resonance that humming can create and harness its healing benefits for body, mind, and spirit. They explore the science behind sound healing, revealing how self-created sounds can literally rearrange molecular structure and how humming not only helps with stress levels, sleep, and blood pressure but also increases lymphatic circulation and melatonin production, releases endorphins, creates new neural pathways in the brain, and releases nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter fundamental to health and well-being. The authors show how sound can act as a triggering mechanism for the manifestation of your conscious intentions. They also examine the spiritual use of humming, including its use as a sonic yoga technique and its role in many world traditions, such as the Om, Aum, or Hum of Hindu and Tibetan traditions.Providing a self-healing method accessible to all, the authors reveal that, even if you have no musical ability, we are all sound healers.
The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat
by Stephan J. GuyenetFrom an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer.To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.

A Hypnotist’s Case Book
by Dr Alex Erskine“HYPNOSIS is nothing new. It was known long before Greek civilization existed, or the foundations of the Pyramids were laid. It probably dates back to before the dawn of history. Over three thousand years ago it was cultivated and practised by the Hindoo Priesthood, who perpetuated its secrets and mysteries by divulging them only to care-fully selected youths, destined to become priests in their turn, and impressed with the same urgency of self-preservation and secrecy as themselves.”“I do not put forward hypnosis as a quack remedy—a cure-all. It is not. It is a scientific fact. To what further end new research will lead, it is impossible to say. It is indeed improbable that the human mind will ever probe to the bottom of it; for the subconscious mind is of the essence of life itself, and to understand it fully might well be to wrest from Man the secret of Death and the power over it. But this book is not to that extent speculative. I have deliberately kept to facts within my own knowledge and practice. I have tried to show how easily this great science may be used by every man, woman and child in the world for his own benefit.”—Dr. Alex Erskine, Preface

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life
by Francesc Miralles Héctor GarcíaBring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai—the happiness of always being busy—as revealed by the daily habits of the world’s longest-living people.“If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something—and doing it with supreme focus and joy.” —New York Post “Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?

Iluminação Espiritual: Um acontecimento incrível!
by Jed Mckenna Renata CamposAUTOR, PROFESSOR E MESTRE ESPIRITUAL Jed McKenna elucida este tema como jamais feito antes. Um americano verdadeiramente autêntico. Jed teve êxito onde tantos outros falharam resumindo a mais elevada das conquistas - Iluminação Espiritual - ao mais simples dos termos. Efetivamente, desmistificando o místico, Jed surpreende o leitor não por acrescentar à sabedoria espiritual do mundo, mas por tirar a espiritualidade da iluminação espiritual. Nunca antes este tema evasivo foi tratado de forma tão envolvente e acessível. Uma obra-prima de escrita iluminada, Iluminação Espiritual é leitura obrigatória para qualquer pessoa seguindo um caminho espiritual. Parte revelação e parte manual de instruções, este é o primeiro livro a explicar por que o fracasso parece ser a regra na busca pela iluminação E como a regra pode ser quebrada. A Iluminação Espiritual segue Jed através de vários dias e noites em seu "ashram acidental", enquanto ele responde em linguagem simples, porém iluminada, às perguntas e preocupações de seus estudantes espiritualmente diversos. Vampiros e zumbis; Aventura aérea; Maya, Deusa da ilusão; E Lara Croft todos encontram o seu caminho de forma perfeita nestas páginas. O livro também contém citações cuidadosamente selecionadas e poemas dos grandes mestres do mundo, bem como poemas originais do autor. Diz Jed: A verdade é que a iluminação não é nem remota nem inalcançável. Está mais perto do que a sua pele e mais iminente do que a sua próxima respiração. Caso nos perguntemos por que tão poucos parecem capazes de encontrar o que nunca esteve perdido, podemos nos lembrar da criança que estava procurando na luz uma moeda que deixou cair no escuro porque “aqui a luz é melhor”. A humanidade passou muito tempo procurando na luz por uma moeda que nos aguarda não na luz, não na escuridão, mas além de todos os opostos. Essa é a mensagem deste liv
Iluminación Espiritualmente Incorrecta
by Jed Mckenna Liliana B. GandugliaLA MARCA DE UN VERDADERO MAESTRO es que sabe expresar un tema de suprema complejidad con una simplicidad fuera de serie. Jed McKenna es un maestro, e iluminado espiritual en el tema. Su primer libro, Spiritual Enlightenmen: TheDamedest Thing, fue un clásico instantáneo y lo ubicó como un maestro espiritual de una profundidad y claridad sorprendentes. Ahora su segundo libro, “Iluminación Espiritualmente Incorrecta”, nos invita a un recorrido fascinante del estado de iluminación –lo qué es y lo qué no es, quién está allí, y quién no, cómo llegar allí y como ser un poco mejor. Abundan deliciosas sorpresas, incluyendo el descubrimiento dramático de quizás la más grande de las obras de arte espirituales de todos los tiempos –escondida desde hace tiempo de la simple vista y bien conocida por todos. Whitman, Melville, Thoreau, Mark Twain y U.G. Krishnamurti todos aparecen, y un alumno del primer libro regresa a compartir sus diarios de Autoanálisis Espiritual. También son sorprendentes los esfuerzos amables del autor para guiar al lector desde la iluminación hacia un estado más deseable y accesible. Fracasas al buscarme al principio, mantente valiente, No me encuentras en un lugar, busca en otro, Estoy en algún lugar detenido, esperando por ti -Walt Whitman- Los libros de Jed Mc Kenna no son para todos. Son para las personas que están cansadas de la calesita espiritual y están preparadas para confrontar la cruda realidad con el proceso de concientización. Si te gustan los maestros con todo ese tipo de guarniciones y adornos, Jed no es indicado para ti, pero cuando estés listo para bajarte del carrusel y comenzar tu viaje, Jed McKenna es el tipo indicado para ver – allí, esperando por ti.

The Immediacy of Mystical Experience in the European Tradition
by Miklós Vassányi Enikő Sepsi Anikó DarócziThis volume examines mystical experiences as portrayed in various ways by "authors" such as philosophers, mystics, psychoanalysts, writers, and peasant women. These "mystical authors" have, throughout the ages, attempted to convey the unsayable through writings, paintings, or oral stories. The immediate experience of God is the primary source and ultimate goal of these mystical expressions. This experience is essentially ineffable, yet all mystical authors, either consciously or unconsciously, feel an urge to convey what they have undergone in the moments of rapture. At the same time they are in the role of intermediaries: the goal of their self-expression - either written, painted or oral - is to make others somehow understand or feel what they have experienced, and to lead others toward the spiritual goal of human life. This volume studies the mystical experiences and the way they have been described or portrayed in West-European culture, from Antiquity to the present, from an interdisciplinary perspective, and approaches the concept of "immediate experience" in various ways.
Immortality of the Gods: Legends, Mysteries, and the Alien Connection to Eternal Life
by Nick RedfernEach of us are alive for a very limited time. Or are we? What if we could live not just for a century, but for millennia? What if there were a way for us to never die? Is such a thing even remotely possible? It may not only be feasible; it may very well have been achieved in the distant past. Ancient aliens may well have uncovered the secrets behind slowing, and ultimately completely stopping, the aging process. History is filled with accounts of fantastic beings, powerful gods, and half-human/half-alien entities that had extraordinarily long lifespans. Many such stories are now largely dismissed as nothing more than the stuff of legend, folklore, and mythology. But what if the accounts are all too real? Highlights of Immortality of the Gods include: The story of the legendary Anunnaki, how they achieved everlasting life, and why they shared their secrets with Noah, Methuselah, and other biblical figures.The saga of Gilgamesh, a long-lived part-human, part-extraterrestrial Sumerian ruler who was obsessed with immortality.A study of the claims that one of the reasons for the 2003 invasion of Iraq was to uncover the millennia-old secrets of white powder gold, a manna-like substance that supposedly rejuvenates cells and tissue.
