The Practice: Simple Tools for Managing Stress, Finding Inner Peace, and Uncovering Happiness
by Barbara SchmidtThe mind has a way of interfering with personal happiness, often causing stress and doubt. Getting in touch with one's inner source of peace and following its guidance over the mind's often-unfounded concerns requires training and discipline. Knowing this truth intimately, Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life Founder Barb Schmidt developed a three-part spiritual discipline called The Practice. The Practice is a toolkit to be used throughout the day to guide people who are looking for confidence, less stress, and deeper meaning along life's path. These tools are a compilation of the great Truths taught by authentic teachers and masters throughout the centuries from various religious and spiritual traditions.In the first three chapters of The Practice, readers are guided through the daily routine: Waking Up, Living Present, and Letting Go. Beginning with a morning meditation, a thread of peace is followed over the course of the day through the repetition of a sacred mantra, practicing focused attention, reading for inspiration, and reflecting on the day. In the concluding chapter, readers are provided with an opportunity to deepen their experience of The Practice with engaging exercisesBy regularly taking the steps to go within each morning, stay present throughout the moments of the day, and letting go of attachments when the day comes to a close, readers will find that they are better able to do the following: Remove the obstacles that interfere with inner peace Manage stress and cultivate more patience, empathy, and compassion Have more courage when facing fears and making changes Overcome habitual behaviors and make better choices Reduce negative thinking and ease feelings of anxiety, worry, and stress See the blessings beneath life's more difficult experiences Know a deep feeling of wholeness
The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process
by Thomas M. SternerIn those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process. Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we don’t succeed? Modern life’s technological speed, habitual multitasking, and promises of instant gratification don’t help. But in his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have also forgotten the principles of practice — the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isn’t drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity. By focusing on “process, not product,” you’ll learn to live in each moment, where you’ll find calmness and equanimity. This book will transform a sense of futility around learning something challenging into an attitude of pleasure and willingness.
The Praise Of Glory: A Carmelite Nun Of Dijon (1901-1906)
by Sister Elizabeth Of The TrinityThis autobiographical collection of letters and diary entries by Elizabeth of the Trinity relates the life of the young nun whose intense spiritualism inspired many.Elizabeth tells of her formative years as an ill-tempered youth, and of determining from a young age that she should be a nun. She would see God in all things, and was an enthusiastic teacher and reader of various holy texts and works of historic saints. Gifted with words, Elizabeth was capable of writing evocative letters and speeches rich in spiritual allusion; given her youth, this ability was thought extraordinary.Tragically Elizabeth succumbed to illness at the young age of twenty-six. Despite the pain of her disease, she continued to write almost until the end, offering counsel and comfort to those around her.In a historic decision, Elizabeth of the Trinity was canonized as a saint in 2016 by Pope Francis. Recognized for her spiritual gravitas, the process of Elizabeth's beatification began in 1931 - her writings, including those in this collection, were intensively studied by committees in the Catholic Church. Several letters appended to the beginning of this book attest to Elizabeth's humble status as a daughter of God, her purity of being and perfection as an adorer of the Blessed Trinity.-Print ed.

Its words do not merely offer knowledge but, more important, are expressions of truths that have the ability to bring complete and lasting spiritual transformation. Many people today will never reach their full potential or become the person they sense is hidden inside, good people who desire to grow in love beyond their frustrations and weaknesses. They long for purpose, meaning, and fulfillment--to live a life of love--but have difficulty in finding it. I know how they feel. Through much adversity and with the help of God, this is what I've found. For all my struggle and disappointment, the answers to life's most difficult situations are usually simple. In fact, God is a God of simplicity. *** We are often the ones who make life difficult for ourselves. In fact, the answers to life's most difficult problems are usually simple. Jesus summed up the secret to life in a very uncomplicated, profound statement: Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said that doing this fulfills all of God's requirements of us. That's where "The Prayer of Love" comes in. Whether you know how to love or you feel that love has eluded you, this prayer will change your life. This is because love is not meant to be an occasional feeling but a daily experience that continually brings peace and joy. "The Prayer of Love" is a little-known yet powerful prayer that the Apostle Paul prayed over the church he founded in Philippi in what is now Greece. The Prayer of Love follows the outline of this fifty-nine-word prayer and is broken down into seven parts that form benchmarks for understanding and maturing in love. The Prayer of Love is a small book with a simple prayer and a memorable, easy-to-follow method for developing the capacity to allow peace and love to rule in our lives every day.

The Preacher, His Life and Work: and Being a Minister of Fine Christian Character
by John Henry Jowett“Experienced preacher John Henry Jowett shares advice to those aspiring or new to the ministry; how to deliver sermons that resonate, the scholarly aspects of the work, and adeptly providing spiritual counsel to those in need.As a veteran member in God's service, Jowett understood where the minister's attentions should be directed; mastering the sermon - such as through delivering moral and thought-provoking Biblical anecdotes - is but one aspect of a preacher's job. Achieving consistency upon the pulpit and in daily life is a matter not merely of study and practice, but of an authentic devotion cultivated alone with God. Preserving one's moral and intellectual integrity is both a scholarly study and a constant effort.The author proscribes a series of exercises and examples which will help the preacher improve in his role and avoid common pitfalls. Excessive routine and commonality in the preacher's life, and the gradual loss of the emotional core of the work, are cautioned against. While Jowett does not delve deeply into the thematic construction of sermons his work is an excellent companion, as he divulges advice on general good practice and lifestyle often overlooked by more technical guides.”-Print ed.
The Precipice of Mental Health: Becoming Your Own Safe Space
by Achea ReddIn The Precipice of Mental Health, Achea Redd shares her personal battle with mental illness and helps readers understand that there is a path to help and healing for those who are suffering, struggling, and stressed. The mental health crisis is worse than ever: In an age of increasing isolation, insecurity, and loss, people are suffering, and not everyone is able to afford or access the help that they need. Mental health activist Achea Redd wants to change that, because for her, it&’s personal. Though Redd seemingly led a charmed life as the daughter of a pastor and wife of NBA legend and former Olympian Michael Redd, the mother of two battled debilitating mental illness and is determined to help others overcome their own trauma and mental health struggles to thrive—all while knowing and acknowledging that it&’s OK to not be OK. In this remarkably reflective story about the societal issues of mental health, Redd opens up and shares a broader perspective through her journey through depression, anxiety, and atypical anorexia, including the impact that COVID-19 and its variants imparted on her battle, to prevent others from reaching the precipice of mental health. Through her own personal experiences in the trenches of her own mental health struggles, including eating disorders, panic attacks, and suicidal ideation, Redd reveals raw and valuable insight that will help readers understand themselves and others who suffer from mental illness—and let them know that their mental illness does not define them. As Redd says, &“Anxiety and depression are what I have. They are not who I am.&” Redd taps into topics that are not commonly spoken of, but are necessary for managing mental health, to ensure those struggling feel seen and understood. The Precipice of Mental Health offers encouragement to seek the proper and necessary help to a path of healing and understanding before it's too late: It&’s important for readers to know that things can and will get better, and it&’s just as important for them to know that they aren&’t alone.

The Prenatal Shadow: Healing the Traumas Experienced before and at Birth
by Cherionna Menzam-Sills• Explains how babies remember their experiences from the womb and birth as implicit memory, impressions that are held in emotions, images, and the body• Examines scientific evidence of how preverbal memory works and how prenates are highly responsive to their mother&’s perceptions• Looks at how to become aware of and acknowledge implicit memory from the womb as well as how to heal and prevent birth traumaIn a world where it is believed that babies lack awareness, somatic pre- and perinatal therapist Cherionna Menzam-Sills, Ph.D., reveals that babies do perceive negative prenatal and birth experiences, which can easily become unconscious shadow, infiltrating the psyche and affecting personality, relationships, behavior, and perceptions throughout life.Drawing on scientific evidence of how preverbal memory works, the author shows how babies, even before birth, are exquisitely sensitive with remarkable potential. She explains how babies remember the intensely formative experiences from this primal period as implicit memory, and she looks at how prenates are deeply influenced by their mother&’s perception of safety or threat, including during labor and birth, which affects their developing nervous systems.Examining the healing and integration of the prenatal shadow, the author presents body awareness exercises, reflection questions, and meditative practices for sensing the little one within and offering them what they need. She also shares stories about how clients were able to express their prenatal emotions, changing their lives with these techniques. By integrating the prenatal and perinatal shadow hidden just beyond conscious awareness, we can heal our relationships with ourselves and our loved ones as well as reconnect with our original potential.

The Presence of the Past: Morphic Resonance and the Memory of Nature
by Rupert SheldrakeExplains how self-organizing systems, from crystals to human societies, share collective memories that influence their form and behavior • Includes new evidence and research in support of the theory of morphic resonance • Explores the major role that morphic resonance plays not just in animal instincts and cultural inheritance but also in the larger process of evolution • Shows that nature is not ruled by fixed laws but by habits and collective memories In this fully revised and updated edition of The Presence of the Past, Cambridge biologist Rupert Sheldrake lays out new evidence and research in support of his controversial theory of morphic resonance and explores its far-reaching implications in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology. His theory proposes that all self-organizing systems, from crystals to human society, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behavior. This collective memory works through morphic fields, which organize the bodies of plants and animals, coordinate the activities of brains, and underlie conscious mental activity. Sheldrake shows how all human beings draw upon and contribute to a collective human memory and that even our individual recollections depend on morphic resonance rather than physical storage in the brain. He explores the major role that morphic resonance plays not just in animal instincts and cultural inheritance, such as religion and ritual, but also in the larger process of evolution, which Sheldrake shows to be more an interplay of habit and creativity than a mere “survival of the fittest.” Offering a replacement for the outdated, mechanistic worldview that has dominated biology since the nineteenth century, Sheldrake’s new understanding of life, matter, and mind shows that rather than being ruled by fixed laws, nature is essentially habitual. And because memory is inherent in nature, he explains, in order to survive successfully for generations to come, we will have to give up our old habits of thought and adopt new ones: habits that are better adapted to life in a world living in the presence of the past--as well as the presence of the future.
