Wholeliness: Embracing The Sacred Unity That Heals Our World
by Carmen HarraStanding on the brink of the greatest shift in human history, which is due to occur in 2012, we sense that our purpose lies in shattering illusions that have inhibited us from reaching our true potential. Internationally renowned clinical psychologist Carmen Harra explains that we must embrace wholeliness: the unity of humanity, the Divine, and the universe. Only by perceiving that we are both individuals and at one with the whole can we begin to eradicate our fears and draw on Divine support during this crucial time. Harra shows us how we can: regain trust in ourselves, others, and the spiritual realm; address the suffering we’ve caused to the human race throughout history; expand universal awareness and elevate our consciousness; and achieve a state of abundance, generosity, and joy so rich that we overflow with compassion. Wholeliness is the nourishment we require to transcend a challenging era and foster unconditional fulfillment in our lives.
Wholeness: Winning in Life from the Inside Out
by Touré RobertsWholeness is about removing invisible boundaries from our lives that keep us from realizing our highest potential. In order to live an outer life without limits, we have to uncover and address the inner limitations that hide in our blind spots.This life-changing book explains that regardless of where you are in life, Wholeness will take you higher. Wholeness will elevate your sense of fulfillment in life, produce healthier, more rewarding relationships, and will position you for optimum success in every endeavor.International thought leader and pastor Touré Roberts explains we can't always choose the experiences that keep us from being whole, but we can take control of our lives today and bring healing to any broken area. Key chapters include an in-depth relationship guide titled "Two Halves Don't Make a Whole." "The Cracked Mirror" shows how unprocessed experiences can negatively shape our view of self, others, and the world around us. "Ghosts of the Past" gives powerful, practical tools for avoiding the traps of the past and ensuring that we enter into the amazing future that God has planned for us.Wholeness is filled with wisdom garnered from Touré's own life--raised by a single mom, narrowly escaping the trappings of inner-city life, and finding success in corporate America. His insight is further broadened by his role as founder of one of the most influential churches in the nation, with over fourteen years pastoring thousands of millennials, couples, families, and a diverse group of individuals. Wholeness will take you on a transformational journey that won't leave you the same.Concluding with a "Wholeness Test," Wholeness will help you track and maintain your progress while walking out your journey to your full potential.
Wholesome Fear
by Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche Kathleen McdonaldWith the right perspective, our anxiety around sickness, old age, and death can be a "wholesome fear"--a fear with a positive quality that ultimately enriches and nourishes our lives. Lama Zopa Rinpoche shows us how we can use our anxiety as a high-octane fuel to really live what's most important. Alongside Rinpoche's teachings, Kathleen McDonald presents meditations that lead to peace, compassion, and joy for ourselves and others. Approaching our physical realities in this way will help us to live well and, when the time comes as it inevitably will, to die well too. It's never too early to start making this most important of efforts--and, fortunately, it is never too late. An essential guide for anyone confronting the challenges of death and dying, Wholesome Fear serves as a reminder of the gift and truth of impermanence.

by Lisa Esile Franco EsileA sympathetic illustrated guide to learning to live with your mind--even when it tries to trick you.Most of us spend our lives trailing after our minds, allowing our brains to take us in directions that are safe and secure, controlled and conformed.

But more often than not, that's not what you want. Whose Mind Is It Anyway? will help you learn how to separate what you want from what your brain wants and how to do less when your mind is trying to trick you into doing more.

Filled with charming illustrations, this book will be the friendly voice in your head to counter your negative thoughts, and it will teach you how to finally be at peace with all that you are.
