Illumination: The Shaman's Way Of Healing
by Alberto VilloldoIllumination guides the reader on a healing journey, forged by the timeless wisdom of indigenous cultures and the latest theories of neurobiology. Through various stages in this journey of initiation, we grow to understand the causes of our suffering and how to free ourselves from the pain and drama of our unhealed emotions. Life itself invites us to be initiated through many means—the possibility of love, the loss of a parent or friend, the birth of a child, or a serious health crisis. True initiation is empowered by facing personal challenges and experiencing the spiritual rebirth—or illumination—that follows. Unifying this book is the sacred process of transforming toxic emotions into sources of power and grace. Illumination shows us how to bid a joyful goodbye to the people and places we have met, discovering a sacred space where the spirit inhabits, uniting the body and soul. When we learn to let go from difficult situations and problems, to accept our lives as they are, we can begin to identify with a self that is eternal. Recounting his own experiences, tracing the mythologies of an array of cultures, and expanding his inquiry into the field of neurobiology, Alberto Villoldo shows readers how they can benefit from these sacred practices.

The Illumined Heart: Capture the Vibrant Faith of Ancient Christians
by Frederica Mathewes-GreenWhy are modern Christians so indistinguishable from everyone else?How come Christians who lived in times of bloody persecution were so heroic, while we who live in safety are not?How could the first Christians fast valiantly, but we feel deprived without dessert?How did New Testament believers pray without ceasing?How could the early Christian martyrs actually forgive their torturers?What did the Christians of the first centuries know that we don't?That's what this book is about.From the author:When I look back at the process of writing The Illumined Heart, I'm amazed all over again at how God directed it. I wrote the whole thing in a week, the week before Christmas, in fact, which is so typically congested with last-minute errands, unpredicatable weather, aches and sniffles. For Orthodox Christians, it's also a week that we fast from meat and dairy, adding another ball to the juggling act. Yet somehow I started writing the book on Monday morning and completed it Sunday night, just fourteen minutes after the Christmas Eve service began. (I kept wondering where in the week I'd dawdled and lost that fourteen minutes.)It's no wonder that I look at The Illumined Heart as the one out of all of my books that felt the most God-directed. Mostly, he told me when to shut up. For a cup-runneth-over writer like me, starting a book is like moving into mid-pregnancy and putting on those stretch-front trousers for the first time; they're like a license to eat. And knowing that I have room to write on and on, whatever comes to mind, makes for abundant, wandering prose. Yet The Illumined Heart is quiet, proportional, just-enough; it's like a jewel. It's no wonder that this is a personal favorite among my own books, and the one I must urge people to read. I'm pleased by the amount of good work it's done so far, and hope that it will continue to do much more.
The Illusion of Money: Why Chasing Money Is Stopping You from Receiving It
by Kyle CeaseNew York Times best-selling author and comedian-turned-motivational speaker, Kyle Cease, shows how your obsession with money is actually preventing you from living the life of your dreams."I can't afford that." "Now's not the right time . . . I need to save up." "Quit my job? Are you nuts?!" Sound familiar? Money is one of the biggest excuses we make to not go after what we really want. Our fixation with money--the desire for more of it, and the fear of not having enough of it--is often really just a longing to feel safe. But this obsession with money is coming at a much bigger cost: our sanity, our creativity, our freedom, and our ability to step into our true power.This book is about eliminating the need to seek safety through the illusion of money, and learning to see ourselves for the perfection that we are--so that we can bring our gifts to the world in an authentic way, and allow ourselves to receive massive, true abundance as a result.Kyle Cease has heard excuses like the ones above countless times at his live events, and he has shown people how to completely break through them. In The Illusion of Money, he shares his own experiences as well as practical tools to help readers understand their ingrained beliefs and attachments to money, and how they can tap into our infinite assets and talents."After 25 years as a successful comedian, actor, transformational speaker, author and junior-league amateur bowler, I've experienced many times how chasing money is not an effective way to create an abundant and fulfilling life. The most alive I've ever felt was after I left my comedy career at its peak to become a transformational speaker. I left tons of guaranteed money and so-called security for a complete unknown. It was terrifying--but what was on the other side of that terror was a completely different life that is not only more abundant financially, but has more freedom, more ease, more passion, more impact and more joy." -- Kyle Cease

The Illusion of Well-Being: Economic Policymaking Based on Respect and Responsiveness
by Mark D. WhiteThe use of measures of economic output to guide policymaking has been criticized for decades because of their weak ties to human well-being. Recently, many scholars and politicians have called for measures of happiness or subjective well-being to be used to guide policy in people's true interests. In The Illusion of Well-Being, Mark D. White explains why using happiness as a tool for policymaking is misguided and unethical. Happiness is too vague a term to define, and too general a concept, to measure in a way that captures people's true feelings. He extends this critique to well-being in general and concludes that no measure of well-being can do justice to people's true interests, which are complex, multifaceted, and subjective. White suggests instead that policymaking be conducted according to respect and responsiveness, promoting the true interests of citizens while addressing their real needs, and devoting government resources to where they can do the most good.

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: Las siete lecciones del golf para el juego de la vida
by Deepak ChopraBestseller de The New York Times.Descubre la relación entre el golf y la vida y cómo este juego supone, también, una sabiduría espiritual que te llevará más allá del hoyo 18.Deepak Chopra ha descubierto los placeres -y las frustraciones- del golf. Intrigado por los vaivenes de su propio juego, se acercó a varios profesionales y desarrolló una nueva aproximación que cualquier golfista puede seguir. En vez de enfocarse en el swing perfecto, Chopra revela cómo es que el golf puede dominarse a través de la autoconciencia, que exige concentración aguda y relajación al mismo tiempo.Pero Iluminación es también la fascinante historia de Adam, un jugador de golf que al parecer está conforme con su vida pero no con su juego, y quien conoce a una golfista profesional con la que aprenderá no sólo a mejorar su nivel sino a conocerse a sí mismo y a transformar su vida para siempre.Profesionales del golf han opinado:"Lo fascinante de este libro es que su lectura ofrece la misma experiencia etérea y gratificante que aquella que experimentamos los jugadores de golf." -Jeff Johnson, jugador de golf profesional de la PGA-
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.
Iluminación. Las Siete Lecciones del Golf para el Juego de la Vida
by Deepak ChopraEn Iluminación, Deepak Chopra da vida a los conceptos que ha trabajado en sus obras previas. Valiéndose de un novedoso método que incluye siete lecciones de golf -deporte que recientemente practica el autor-, Chopra presenta igual número de lecciones para la vida, por medio de las cuales el lector aprenderá a vivir con plenitud y tranquilidad aun en medio del caos cotidiano. En esta obra, el autor relata la historia de Adam, un jugador de golf que, al parecer, está conforme con su vida, pero no con su juego de golf y quien conoce a una golfista profesional, Wendy, con la que aprenderá no sólo a mejorar su juego, sino a conocerse a sí mismo y a transformar su vida. A lo largo del relato, el lector aprenderá, junto con Adam, a integrar su mente, vivir en el presente para encontrar el tiro perfecto, jugar con el corazón y apreciar el triunfo sin estar sometido a él. Como dice el autor, cualquier momento o actividad es propicio para iniciar una nueva vida, para conocernos y dejar atrás los obstáculos que nos impiden ver que, en realidad, la felicidad está a nuestro alcance por el simple y sencillo hecho de que es parte de la naturaleza humana. Iluminación es una obra en la que se muestra la madurez de pensamiento alcanzado por un hombre que ha transmitido con gran facilidad su particular visión del mundo, la cual conjunta sabidurías milenarias y actuales para brindar a todos la oportunidad de cambiar desde este momento.

Ilusiones (Centro Literario)
by Richard BachPor el autor de Juan Salvador Gaviota. Historia para descubrir lo más hondo de nosotros mismos. En el espacio aéreo sin nubes que se extiende entre los campos de maíz de Illinois y el azul infinito, un hombre deposita su fe en la hélice de su biplano. Para ese piloto, la fe es tan real como un depósito lleno de gasolina# hasta que se encuentra con Donal Shimoda, un antiguo mecánico que se define como un mesías y es capaz de lograr que las penas desaparezcan y que la imaginación remonte el vuelo. En Ilusiones descubrimos las verdades atemporales que dan alas a nuestras almas: que la gente no necesita máquinas voladoras para levantar el vuelo, que incluso las nubes más oscuras tienen un sentido cuando nos situamos por encima de ellas y que los mesías pueden encontrarse en lugares tan insospechados como un campo de heno, un pueblo perdido en medio de la llanura o, sobre todo, en lo más hondo de nosotros mismos.

In spite of the pills prescribed by her doctor, a nameless terror disrupting her daily life intensifies until she is besieged by crippling anxiety attacks. A formerly strong, independent, successful woman, Barbara's life becomes a nightmare of paralysis and fear.When Barbara finds herself unable to leave her apartment or walk the streets of New York alone, she decides to take charge of her life.

Barbara had often spoken for the voiceless in her films, but she suddenly finds herself powerless, without a voice of her own. Though she feels frightened and misunderstood, the tenderness and love of another young patient, Jim, helps Barbara rediscover her voice and her identity.In the years since her memoir was first published, thousands of readers all over the world have read her book, followed her descent into hell, traveled with her along the bumpy road to recovery, and celebrated as she creates a new life.

If you are serious about rules and guidelines and closets and all the details, go see Martha. If you'd prefer some easy-going, mildly cynical guidance, I'm Free, I'm Free, I'm Free: Now What? is for you. Align the Law of 'what goes up must come down' with the Golden Rule. Now add beds, moving, bills, friends, food poisoning, cleaning, toilets, money, rentals, baseline manners, and roommates, and you have a pretty good idea where we're going here. The bottom line of I'm Free, I'm Free, I'm Free: Now What? is to help you become sort-of informed so that you decide, and whatever happens, it's your fault.
