All Life Is Yoga: Illness - Causes and Cure

Health, Mind & Body

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on Yoga, health and healing. "Instead of being upset and struggling, the best thing to do is to offer one’s body to the Divine with the sincere prayer, “Let Thy Will be done.” If there is any possibility of cure, it will establish the best conditions for it; and if cure is impossible, it will be the very best preparation for getting out of the body and the life without it. In any case the first indispensable condition is a quiet surrender to the Divine’s will." – The Mother

Comment éviter la prochaine pandémie

Health, Mind & Body

"De tout temps, des maladies se sont propagées entre les humains ; elles ne sont pas pour autant vouées à dégénérer en catastrophes mondiales. Ce livre détaille ce que les gouvernements, les scientifiques, les entreprises et les citoyens peuvent faire pour contenir les inévitables foyers épidémiques avant qu’ils ne se transforment en pandémies. C’est le moment d’agir. Le Covid-19 restera, pour toutes celles et ceux qui l’ont vécu, ancré dans les mémoires. La génération de mes parents a changé de perspective après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et, de la même manière, le Covid-19 a changé notre perspective sur le monde. Malgré tout, nous ne sommes pas condamnés à vivre dans la crainte d’une nouvelle pandémie. Nous pouvons procurer des soins de base à tous les habitants de la planète, tout en nous préparant à intervenir face aux maladies émergentes. Chaque chapitre de ce livre explique une à une les étapes à mettre en œuvre pour être prêts le moment venu. L’ensemble forme une stratégie qui vise à ce que les pandémies ne soient plus une menace pour l’humanité et à ce que personne d’autre ne traverse une crise comme celle du Covid-19." Bill Gates

All Life Is Yoga: Death and Rebirth

Health, Mind & Body

“Even if Science – physical Science or occult Science – were to discover the necessary conditions or means for an indefinite survival of the body, still, if the body could not adapt itself so as to become a fit instrument of expression for the inner growth, the soul would find some way to abandon it and pass on to a new incarnation. The material or physical causes of death are not its sole or its true cause; its true inmost reason is the spiritual necessity for the evolution of a new being.” (Sri Aurobindo)

Profound Healing

Health, Mind & Body

A woman faced with advanced cancer shares the story of how preparing to die led her to experience a profound healing on all levels--physical, emotional, and spiritual. • Explores the practical and spiritual aspects of confronting a life challenge as a springboard for spiritual growth. • Includes accounts of dreams, exercises, and visualizations that inspire profound healing. • Outlines 12 self-help practices of wellness--emotional clearing, meditations, and lifestyle changes--through the living example of a cancer survivor. • By the co-compiler of the spiritual classic Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words. At the age of 41 Cheryl Canfield was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. Going against warnings from doctors, she rejected proposed surgeries that would involve removing her uterus, cervix, lymph nodes, and surrounding nerves. Instead, she decided to accept death and focused her energy on attempting to die well. In the process, she cured herself. Profound Healing is Canfield's down-to-earth account of her journey as she inadvertently experiences a modern-day miracle, and her subsequent reflections on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. More than a biography, Canfield's story contains exercises, dreams, visualizations, and experiences--from encounters with the modern mystic Peace Pilgrim to her own acceptance of cancer--that assisted her healing process. Others can use her hard-earned insights as a source of hope, inspiration, and practical advice. Relevant to anyone seeking personal growth and life wisdom, Profound Healing is not merely about dying or living. It is about discovering one's life and living it fully while here.

Beyond Beautiful

Health, Mind & Body

Schluss mit den Selbstzweifeln!Makellose Promis, durchtrainierte Fitness-Gurus und top gestylte Social-Media-Influencer machen es uns Tag für Tag schwerer, uns wohl in unserer Haut zu fühlen. Nur eine von drei Frauen in Deutschland ist mit ihrem Aussehen zufrieden, jede zweite will abnehmen – und das, obwohl wir in Zeiten von Female Empowerment und Body Positivity leben. In ›Beyond Beautiful‹ geht die Ex-Beauty-Fanatikerin Anuschka Rees der Frage nach, warum immer noch so viele von uns Probleme mit ihrem Spiegelbild haben und was wir ganz praktisch dagegen unternehmen können. Mit frischem Blick und viel Empathie zeigt sie, wie wir unser angeschlagenes Body Image wieder aufpolieren können:• Wie soll ich mich gut mit mir selbst fühlen, wenn unsere gesellschaftlichen Schönheitsideale mir das quasi unmöglich machen?• Wie schaffe ich es, mich nicht mehr unzureichend, ungesund und uncool zu fühlen, wenn ich durch meinen Instagram Feed scrolle?• Kann ich irgendetwas gegen meine Panik vor dem Älterwerden und vor allem vor dem Älteraussehen machen?• Und wie werde ich selbstbewusst genug, um weniger (oder mehr) Make up zu tragen, genau das anzuziehen, was mir gefällt, oder mir einfach mal nicht die Beine zu rasieren?Weg vom ständigen Fokus aufs Äußere hin zu einem gesunden Selbstwert und der kleinen, aber bedeutsamen Erkenntnis, dass wir alle so viel mehr als schön sind – ›Beyond Beautiful‹ eben!

Quantum Science of Psychedelics

Health, Mind & Body

A groundbreaking exploration of how psychedelics and quantum science are vital to understanding the evolution of consciousness and reality • Explains why altered states of consciousness exist, how they work, and why psychedelics have the effects that they do • Describes how quantum waves, rather than the DNA molecule, have been the driving force behind biological and historical evolution • Explains how psychedelics interact with the human mind to create altered states that may further the continued evolution of consciousness In this groundbreaking book, Carl Johan Calleman reveals the quantum science of the Maya, a science lost to the modern world that explains the phenomenology of psychedelics and altered states of consciousness. The ancient Maya had a sophisticated understanding of the multidimensional nature of reality and the forces that drive the evolution of consciousness. Calleman explains how quantum waves, illustrated by the Mayan Calendar, emanate from the center of the universe and activate new phases in the evolution of consciousness through holographic resonance, which alters the dualities of the human mind. For example, the 5th Wave, which dominated in Paleolithic times and evolved human consciousness above that of animals, brought a chaotic floating state reminiscent of the psychedelic or shamanic state, and the recent 8th Wave brought the digital revolution. The 9th Wave, which began in 2011, offers the potential for individual development of higher consciousness and healing if we can synchronize ourselves with its positive holograms. This multidimensional perspective explains why altered states of consciousness exist and how they work. Calleman describes the role of the pineal gland for the human mind, how it controls our state of consciousness and how it can connect us to the cosmic Tree of Life. He shows that the mind is a “reducing valve” that normally limits our experience of cosmic consciousness but that this can be reversed through altered states. As Calleman concludes, psychedelics like ayahuasca and DMT not only give rise to extraordinary mystical and cosmic experiences and enable access to healing states, but they also are important for harmoniously synchronizing humanity with the 9th Wave to further the evolution of consciousness.

Why We Get Sick

Health, Mind & Body

A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a common root cause—insulin resistance—and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it. We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do—over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind. In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.
