The Essential Edgar Cayce. Mark Thurston. The Sleeping Prophet. Clairvoyance. New Age

The Essential Edgar Cayce. Mark Thurston. The Sleeping Prophet. Clairvoyance. New Age

If you're looking for a good introduction/primer on the life and work of Edgar Cayce, then "The Essential Edgar Cayce" by Mark Thurston is the one to get. Dr. Thurston has a long lasting connection to Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment, and offers valuable insights on the subject.



A complete guide to the work of the remarkable twentieth-century seer Edgar Cayce, featuring Cayce's most intriguing and influential readings, and a biographical introduction to his life.

Edgar Cayce is one of the most mysterious men of the twentieth century. Sometimes called "The Sleeping Prophet," he was prone to pick up taglines that reflected the sensationalistic side of his work rather than its real depth and meaning. The core of his life's work was actually being an intuitive healer and Christian mystic.
More than one hundred books have been written about his teachings and his life story. Yet no book has combined insightful commentary with lengthy, verbatim selections of the full range of his contribution to holistic healing, practical spirituality, and the psychology of the soul.
The Essential Edgar Cayce gives the reader an understanding of each major area in which Cayce helped pioneer the modern holistic living movement, as well as the contemporary popular approach to spirituality that weaves together the best of Eastern and Western religious traditions. The book's substantial introduction frames Cayce and his life's work, and is followed by eight topical sections in which commentaries by Mark Thurston guide the reader through some of the seer's most significant readings.
Here is a truly integral portrait of the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most fascinating spiritual figures.

How to Practice. The Way to a Meaningful Life. His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Mindfulness. Buddhism

How to Practice. The Way to a Meaningful Life. His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Mindfulness. Buddhism
How to Practice. The Way to a Meaningful Life. His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Mindfulness. Buddhism

I'm enjoying a read through of "How to Practice" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In this relatively short book, His Holiness examines the principles of Mindfulness and offers advice on how to apply those ideas in one's day to day life.



As human beings, we all share the desire for happiness and meaning in our lives. According to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the ability to find true fulfillment lies within each of us. In this very special book, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, Nobel Prize winner, and bestselling author helps readers embark upon the path to enlightenment with a stunning illumination of the timeless wisdom and an easy-access reference for daily practice.
Divided into a series of distinct steps that will lead spiritual seekers toward enlightenment, How to Practice is a constant companion in the quest to practice morality, meditation, and wisdom. This accessible book will guide you toward opening your heart, refraining from doing harm, and maintiaining mentaltranquility as the Dalai Lama shows you how to overcome everyday obstacles, from feelings of anger and mistrust to jealousy, insecurity, and counterproductive thinking. Imbued with His Holiness' vivacious spirit and sense of playfulness, How to Practice offers sage and practical insight into the human psyche and into the deepest aspirations that bind us all together.

How to Be Happy. Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Meditation. Tibetan Buddhism

How to Be Happy. Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Meditation. Tibetan Buddhism
How to Be Happy. Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Meditation. Tibetan Buddhism

Lama Zopa Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist scholar, who has long been esteemed for his ability to communicate Eastern ideas to the West. This little book, "How to Be Happy", consists of his insights on finding peace through kindheartedness and meditation.



In How to Be Happy, Lama Zopa Rinpoche helps us find our good heart, the heart that rejoices in the happiness of others.
How to transform problems into happiness, how to find compassion for our "enemies", how to treat ourselves with kindness; it is on these persistent and universal challenges that Lama Zopa offers his wise and warm teachings. Including three wonderfully rich and evocative guided meditations, How to Be Happy works with the reader to show that happiness in this present moment is dependent on the wisdom of a truly open and generous heart.
Anyone looking for advice on how to be happy—truly, meaningfully happy—will find Lama Zopa Rinpoche to be a trustworthy and skillful guide. He is a tireless teacher of methods that work for us when all is well, and also when life's troubles, big and small, seem unmanageable.
