Already Free: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation, Hörbuch, Digital, 437min
Different Paths, Different Strengths Freedom from unnecessary suffering is the goal of both Buddhism and modern psychotherapy, yet each approaches this intention from a very different perspective. "Buddhist practice helps us awaken to a well-being that is independent of our circumstances," explains Bruce Tift, "while Western psychotherapy helps us bring our disowned experience into awareness in order to live in a more skillful and satisfying way." On Already Free, this therapist and Buddhist practitioner opens a fresh dialogue between these two perspectives, and explores how each provides us with essential keys to experiencing full presence and aliveness. Practical Tools and Wisdom from the Eastern and Western Traditions Buddhism gives us powerful tools for breaking free of our own identity drama and our fascination with day-to-day problems, yet it does not address how early childhood experience shapes our adult lives. Western psychotherapy provides a wide range of proven techniques for understanding and untangling the development of our neurotic patterns, but it is only beginning to recognize the powerful impact of exploring awareness itself."These two approaches sometimes contradict and sometimes support each other," Tift explains. "When used together, they can help us open to all of life in all its richness, its disturbances, and its inherent completeness. "With a keen understanding of the wisdom of East and West, and a special focus on working with intimate relationships as a pathway to spiritual awakening, Bruce Tift presents seven immersive sessions of insights, wisdom, and practical instruction for realizing the fundamental freedom that is your birthright. The Developmental Approach - why we still use our childhood survival skills after we outgrow them The Fruitional Approach - Buddhist wisdom on finding liberation without resolving our historic issues Relationships and Awakening - p Language: English.

The One Life We're Given: Finding the Wisdom That Waits in Your Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
Beloved spiritual teacher, poet, and philosopher Mark Nepo returns to the inspiring short-chapter format of his number-one New York Times best seller, The Book of Awakening, to map an insightful and resilient path for inhabiting the soul by engaging in the world. Mark Nepo has been called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time", "a consummate storyteller", and "an eloquent spiritual teacher". With the rare ability to communicate stirringly profound truths directly to each individual heart, Mark inspires audiences of more than 15,000 people as well as small, intimate groups. Now, in The One Life We're Given, Nepo's personal stories, questions, and meditations take us on a deep and uplifting journey to know our own hearts and enliven our souls. "In order to fully live the one life we're given," Nepo writes, "we each must affirm how precious this one life is and open ourselves to loving whatever life puts before us. Whether that is suffering, pain, fear or loss, or surprise, beauty, love or wonder, we work to stay in touch with our hearts in order to make sense of our experience. As we learn when to try and when to let go, when to give our all and when to surrender and simply receive, we unfold the moments that reveal meaning and ready us for grace. This is how the heart breaks a path to our soul's work, leading us to our authenticity and to how we can be useful to others and the world." By illuminating the art of finding and restoring what matters and by exploring the craft of awakening, The One Life We're Given affirms our purpose as not just to stay alive but to stay in our aliveness. ungekürzt.

Office Visit Set II: Sexuality, The Aging Process and Handling Major Crises , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
A set of three talks given by Dr. Hawkins: Sexuality: Dr. Hawkins explains the difference between sex and making love. He presents sex as an expression of the energy of aliveness and the joy of being. He discusses sex and spiritual conflict, along with guilt, religion, programming, and social belief systems. He describes low-energy and high-energy sex, how to overcome impotence and lack of response, and how to transcend desire so that one is not at the effect of it. Learn about sex and gender, Yin and Yang energies, owning your "opposite" within yourself, the love of sex, and the sexual energy of the love relationship. Dr. Hawkins discusses dysfunctional sexuality as a key to understanding the problem in the relationship and as a projection of distorted self-image. Does God approve of sex? Sex and age - is it all over now or does it get better the older one becomes? The Aging Process: Throughout history, major emphasis, energy, and countless millions of dollars have been spent by the public in trying to eliminate, or at least retard, the aging process. Since most people attempt to deal with aging from the "outside" through face-lifts, plastic surgery, strenuous exercise programs, etc., the results are superficial and short-lived. Dr. Hawkins discusses working on aging from the "inside" through Consciousness and Awareness. Handling Major Crises: Although the experience of crisis may be different for each person, Dr. Hawkins examines the underlying thoughts and actions that create the feeling of crisis. Some of these are sin, anger, guilt, self-hatred, loss of meaning and self-worth, and depression. Dr. Hawkins shares, both from his professional expertise and personal experience, how to handle crisis and what is needed to make the difference. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David R.

Finding True Refuge: Meditations for Difficult Times, Hörbuch, Digital, 210min
Insights and Practices for Finding Sanctuary in Any Circumstance When the difficulties and losses of life feel overwhelming, is there someplace we can turn for the safety, nurturing, and peace that we long for? Most of us are strongly conditioned to react with fear and confusion, falling back on strategies of judgment, control, addictive behaviors, and anger. Yet there is another way. “In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love,” teaches Tara Brach. On Finding True Refuge, this renowned psychologist and meditation teacher offers you three sessions of spiritual teachings and practices for finding your way home to the inner sanctuary that is always available. Tara reveals how the three gateways of refuge-truth, love, and awareness-allow us to draw on our own deepest wisdom, and offers eight guided meditations that include: Mindful awareness-cultivating a non-judging, present-centered attention Using the therapeutic RAIN process for releasing fear and healing through self-compassion Letting go of our desire for control and certainty Cultivating a forgiving heart for ourselves and others When we seek comfort and relief from stress, Tara Brach teaches, we often unconsciously turn to false refuges such as material wealth, approval from others, or a preoccupation with the past and future. Yet by cultivating true refuge in this moment, we not only find reliable and trustworthy shelter from the storms of life, we also open ourselves up to fully experiencing joy and fulfillment. With Finding True Refuge, Tara brings you essential practices for awakening to the aliveness within you, and discovering that you can love this life - no matter what. Language: English.

At the Source of Being: Teachings on the Arising of the Awakened State, Hörbuch, Digital, 443min
If you go about your day trapped in the realm of thinking, it's difficult, if not impossible, to free yourself from stress and anxiety - and the interpersonal suffering that goes along with it. But if you're rooted in the now, explains Eckhart Tolle, you're already standing in a place of deep fulfillment. At the Source of Being brings you a five-part intensive retreat with Eckhart Tolle, presenting more than seven hours of in-depth guidance in the central aspects of his simple yet life-changing teaching. Recorded amid the natural beauty of an Australian rainforest, Eckhart discusses a range of topics including: How our obstacles can become an opening for spiritual growth Attending to the all-pervasive aliveness that surrounds us The realization of our "formless" identity The only question that matters: Am I present at this moment? The meaning of "saying yes to what is" - and the art of stating a "high-quality no" Being the space in which things happen That which cannot be threatened Stillness and true relationship Meeting situations with intense consciousness instead of reactivity Eckhart's personal "self-destruction" story How presence transforms our experience of uncertainty Eroding old habits through the practice of detachment Pre-egoic thinking and the archetype of the fool "The only true cause of upset is losing yourself in the world or in your mind," teaches Eckhart. "Mastery arrives when there is total attention to being without a secondary motive." At the Source of Being is rich with insights and inspiration for integrating your "presence practice" into every aspect of daily life. Includes a helpful question-and-answer session with retreat participants. Language: English. Narrator: Eckhart Tolle.

Here I Am: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1019min
A monumental new audiobook from the bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer's Here I AmIn the book of Genesis, when God calls out, "Abraham!" before ordering him to sacrifice his son, Isaac, Abraham responds, "Here I am." Later, when Isaac calls out, "My father!" before asking him why there is no animal to slaughter, Abraham responds, "Here I am."How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others'? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer's first novel in eleven years - a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy.Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington, DC, Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia Bloch and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the meaning of home - and the fundamental question of how much aliveness one can bear.Showcasing the same high-energy inventiveness, hilarious irreverence, and emotional urgency that readers and critics loved in his earlier work, Here I Am is Foer's most searching, hard-hitting, and grandly entertaining novel yet. It not only confirms Foer's stature as a dazzling literary talent but reveals a novelist who has fully come into his own as one of the most important writers in America. ungekürzt. Language: English.

How to Become Strong Enough to Love (eBook, ePUB)

It's practical. And it always works when you do it. In this book, Margaret, through the powerful Six-Step Inner Bonding pathway, shows how you can create and maintain the inner safety you need so you can become strong enough to love.Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal any underlying control issues.In friendships, marriages, and work relationships, your joy, aliveness, and creativity get lost as you give up parts of yourself in an attempt to feel safe. In romantic relationships, passion dries up. Superficiality, boredom, fighting, and apathy take its place. You try valiantly to figure out what went wrong. But too often you might ask, "What am I doing wrong?" or "What are you doing wrong?" rather than inquiring into the underlying fears and resulting self-abandoning behaviors that create the unsafe relationship space.The key to doing this is learning how to create a safe inner space where you can work with and overcome your false beliefs and your fears of rejection and engulfment. This is a process, not an event.- Shop: buecher

Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
Your voice says a lot about you. Based on the tone and expression of your voice alone, your listeners may make up their minds about you before they even process the meaning of your words. And if what you say is at odds with how you say it, they can miss your message altogether. As important as our voices are, few of us know how to use them to their full potential. Full Voice offers a fun, tested method to harness the power of your voice to become a more effective and flexible communicator. Barbara McAfee identifies five distinct vocal tones or qualities - earth, fire, water, metal, and air - and explains how to cultivate each voice. You’ll also discover how to use your voice to convey authority, passion, compassion, and other essential leadership qualities - and how to choose the right voice to ensure your message and meaning are understood. With online practice videos and real-life stories to reinforce the message, you’ll experience an authentic shift in the impact your voice has on your colleagues, friends, and family. McAfee’s approach offers much more than a minor cosmetic improvement. It enables you to use your voice to support your intentions and aspirations, express who you truly are, and bring your gifts to the world. As you become more aware of your own voice, you also become a better listener, more attuned to what people are saying underneath their words. You learn to transform the ordinary act of everyday speech - the presentations you give, the meetings you lead, the stories you read your children at bedtime, even your casual conversations with friends - into works of art. You’ll discover how opening your full voice opens you to untapped potential, power, and aliveness as well. This audiobook includes 3 songs. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara McAfee.
