Zen Sex

Health, Mind & Body

Zen philosophy tells us that the great truth of the universe applies to all things at all times. Every moment of life, from guitar playing to working at the computer, to making love, offers a chance for Zen realization. Just awaken to that truth, Zen masters say; how and where do not matter. Sex offers the same opportunity for enlightenment as anything else. Zen Sex guides readers to the realization of that opportunity with "The Ten Stages of Zen Sex" and "The Six Principles in the Way of Making Love." Philip Sudo reminds our sex-obsessed age that not only is sex a fundamentally spiritual endeavour, it is indeed sacred. This elegant, gorgeous book will appeal not only to Zen practitioners, but to any one looking for enlightenment and spirituality in all aspects of life.Great gift potential.Good for the sex book audience, Zen practitioners and readers looking for meaningful sex.While there are quite a few books that deal with spirituality and sex from the Tantric and Taoist tradition, no other book has brought together Zen and sex.Easy-to-do practices help readers learn and experience Zen sex.

Mattress Care Tips

Health, Mind & Body

Mattress Care Tips reimagines mattress maintenance as a cornerstone of health and wellness, revealing how proper care combats hidden allergens while boosting sleep quality. This guide bridges practical cleaning techniques with scientific insights, showing how dust mites—found in 84% of U.S. homes—trigger allergies and disrupt rest. By linking mattress hygiene to preventable health issues like respiratory problems, the book reframes routine care as an act of self-care, not just household upkeep.Structured for easy adoption, the book progresses from explaining mattress materials’ vulnerabilities (like memory foam’s heat retention) to step-by-step solutions. It balances DIY frugality and clinical rigor, comparing eco-friendly fixes (baking soda mixes for odor control) with commercial products. A standout chapter details sewing washable mattress covers—a crafty hack that merges creativity with allergen prevention. The final sections offer long-term strategies, such as rotation schedules tied to sleep efficiency gains, while addressing debates like optimal replacement timelines using wear-and-tear indicators.Unique in blending crafts and health science, Mattress Care Tips equips readers with tools to tackle immediate needs (stain removal) and build habits (seasonal deep cleans). Its accessible tone, visual aids, and focus on measurable outcomes—like reducing dust mite populations—make complex microbiology actionable. Whether you’re allergy-prone, budget-conscious, or eco-minded, this book transforms mattress care from a chore into a health investment with rewards that ripple far beyond the bedroom.

Mind Your Body

Health, Mind & Body

Learn how to free yourself from chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, and myriad debilitating conditions through the transformative process of nervous system regulation in this accessible guide from psychotherapist and leading Mindbody clinician Nicole Sachs.At a time when chronic pain and other conditions have reached epidemic proportions, and the medical model is coming up short for so many of us, Mind Your Body shares the evidence-based practices that can help deliver readers from hopelessness to freedom. Most people who come to Nicole Sachs have exhausted all other paths to cope with their chronic back and bodily pain, IBS, sciatica, pelvic pain, long COVID, migraines, fibromyalgia, nerve inflammation, skin conditions, anxiety and panic disorders, and many more health conditions. Maybe they’re considering surgery or other interventions, with no real promise of a cure, or maybe the surgeries and treatments they’ve already attempted have proved disappointing and they are desperate for relief.Sachs knows that these kinds of syndromes often don’t originate from a physical source. Rather, they are fueled by trauma responses associated with deeply rooted psychological and emotional triggers that send the brain and the nervous system into fight or flight.In Mind Your Body, Sachs teaches readers about Mindbody medicine—which helped her overcome her own debilitating pain and dark prognosis. She explains the essential practice of turning inward, using her revolutionary JournalSpeak method, which has enabled countless people to achieve striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Mind Your Body takes chronic pain recovery into its next stage, for a new generation of readers who have been so underserved by our medical system.

A Beginner’s Guide to Winter Survival - How to Survive Cold WeatherTable of ContentsIntroductionWinter Storms and WarningsFreezing RainWinter PreparationWinter ClothingWhat Do You Do in Cases of Frostbite?Symptoms of FrostbiteHypothermiaTraveling In Harsh WeatherCaught in a BlizzardSheltering from Blizzards in Your HouseDefrosting Frozen PipesWinter Survival KitWhen to Call 911Winter FuelsCarbon MonoxideAnother Heating TipAppendixLong-Lasting healthy foodsGranolaPemmicanMaking Biltong the Traditional WayConclusionAuthor BioPublisherIntroductionMankind has been looking for the best ways in which to survive the harsh winter, for millenniums. That means that he knows that at one particular period of the year, he is going to be subject to ice, snow and cold temperatures. He is also going to face blizzards and storms.As man has not been built by nature to curl up in a warm cave and hibernate throughout the winter like more sensible animals, the onset of winter brings with it the heightened sense of self-preservation.In olden days, all man could do was huddle into a corner, around the fire, and keep praying for the blizzard to stop. During this time, he survived on the food that he had stored in his cave or in his place of shelter during the more clement and temperate months of the year. As time went by man found that it was easy to transport himself and his family to other places, on horseback, or in a cart. And that is why he managed to look for more temperate regions – where the weather was not so harsh – before the onset of winter.But as time went by, nature still kept to her rules of a harsh winter, but mankind did not learn much in terms of common sense. In fact, he persisted on going out in the cold, instead of staying under shelter. And that is why the popular melodramatic cliché of someone turned from a doorstep on a harsh winters evening remained a popular theme in theaters.Even today in 80% of the popular escapist novels, the dumb, but beautiful heroine (single and pregnant in 90% of the cases, according to manuscript submission requirements, goes driving in a blizzard. – I told you that she is dumb – And the multibillionaire hero rescues her. And there is going to be a happily ever after, on page 186, because he is going to marry her. And there we are, we have just wasted our money on another thoroughly idiotic novel.)In real life, she would have died of hypothermia, because she is not well clothed, does not have fuel and has been buried in a snowdrift.

The Yoga of Self-Perfection

Health, Mind & Body

“ALL LIFE IS YOGA.” Sri Aurobindo was an Indian philosopher, yogi, guru, poet. He developed a spiritual practice he called Integral Yoga. In this masterful study of Yoga, Sri Aurobindo explained the spiritual realization that not only liberated but transformed human nature, enabling a divine life on earth. The main objective of his teachings was to increase the level of consciousness of people and to aware people of their true selves. This book is a synthesis of many of the most important Indian spiritual philosophies, and is by far the most relevant to modern humanity and the most inspiring to westerners. If you've done some yoga, then move along to Sri Aurobindo and see what you can learn from one of the most fascinating minds of the past hundred years. This essay is plenty of very profound thought, and you will not leave this fantastic work without spiritual growth.EXCERPT :“THE FUNDAMENTAL idea of a Yoga of self-perfection must be, under these conditions, a reversal of the present relations of the soul of man to his mental, vital and physical nature. Man is at present a partly self-conscious soul subject to and limited by mind, life and body, who has to become an entirely self-conscious soul master of his mind, life and body. Not limited by their claims and demands, a perfect self-conscious soul would be superior to and a free possessor of its instruments. This effort of man to be master of his own being has been the sense of a large part of his past spiritual, intellectual and moral strivings. In order to be possessor of his being with any complete reality of freedom and mastery, man must find out his highest self, the real man or highest Purusha in him, which is free and master in its own inalienable power. He must cease to be the mental, vital, physical ego; for that is always the creation, instrument and subject of mental, vital, physical Nature. This ego is not his real self, but an instrumentation of Nature by which it has developed a sense of limited and separate individual being in mind, life and body.”

All Life Is Yoga: Numbers and Astrology

Health, Mind & Body

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. "It is not completely true that man‘s life is governed by the stars. The conjunctions of the stars are an indication of the forces, especially vital and physical forces. They exert a certain influence on man and the course of his life. It was, perhaps, the Chaldean occultists who found the inner basis of these calculations. Now, only tradition remains. Astrology is not yet an exact science; it is not purely mental. It is the man whose mind can touch the forces that are behind the stars who can make correct predictions. What is important for man is the inner life and on that the stars have little influence." – Sri Aurobindo

The Breath of Life, or Mal-Respiration

Health, Mind & Body

George Catlin’s classic work, where he passionately supports the practice of closing the mouth whilst breathing, is reproduced here in full including his illustrations. In the author’s opinion, closing the mouth is a way of ensuring a better mood and overall state in life. His lively illustrations contrast a person whose mouth is often open – whether during sleep or waking hours – with an individual whose mouth is generally shut. Catlin’s opinions were never accepted into the medical canon, but remain interesting in their historical context; Catlin was a painter and writer who spent years living among and painting members of various Native American tribes, gaining great admiration for their lifestyle and culture. Complimenting Catlin’s other book on this subject - Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life - The Breath of Life discusses more of the author’s personal experiences and encounters. His respect and high regard for the Native Americans is evident as Catlin observes how many tribesmen and women keep their mouths closed. Even the mouths of Native American babies are closed by their mothers as they sleep; a practice Catlin believes helps the infant retain an even temper and serene appearance later in life.
