Happy New Year, dear reader of Mastery
Journal!
Year 2011 has been exciting and challenging for many of
us, yet most of our readers seem to be optimistic about
the prospects of 2012 and what it may bring. However,
there is something special the world-class masters of
meditation, personal development, Yoga, and Qigong
did during the week between Christmas and New Year
that the majority of us did not. As they say, by doing what everyone else does, you are bound
to get the results everyone else gets… And you probably want better than average results, do
you not? If so, you can glean from the masters now!
If you want to make year 2012 better than any pervious year in your life, consider spending
some time visualizing what you would like to experience by the end of the coming year.
Imagine yourself having manifested exactly that or even something better in the next twelve
months… Do you wish to create more harmony in your relationships or attract a dream
partner? Do you want to create or develop a successful business and be your own boss? Do
you dream of enjoying more free time and peace of mind?
How would you know that you have achieved that? What would it feel like in your body to
be the way that you need to be in order to manifest your dreams for 2012? Do you feel any
difference in your energy, when you focus on that way of being, which may be somewhat
different from your current state? Now, this no ordinary Law of Attraction incantation, as this is
certainly not about just “feeling within as though you have already manifested what you want.”
The two essential steps that most New Age gurus appear to be missing are:
1) going back to the midway point (say, in June) and connecting with the energy required
for manifesting your dreams, which is guaranteed to be distinct from the energy associated
with successfully achieving your goals
2) and finding the seed of that energy within yourself at the present moment (without it,
you would not have been able to even conceive that particular dream), which allows you to tap
into it and make it your driving force – helps you walk the talk, if you will.
Just this one bit of additional energy
awareness can boost your ability to make
things happen as you dream. In this issue
of Mastery Journal, you can find some
excellent materials that will support you
on your journey in 2012.

Suzanne Friedman LaC DMQ
Shifu Yan Lei
Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is an ancient Chinese practice
consisting of physical movements, meditation, creative visualization,
and breathing exercises to help revitalize the body and heal the
spirit. Similar to tai chi, qigong cultivates vital life-force energy in
the body for better health, heightened energy, and longevity. Its
powerful benefits have been known in China for thousands of years.
This unique book presents over 100 easy, five-minute qigong
exercises designed to target specific health issues, from strengthening an aching back and reducing stress
to improving sexual function and boosting energy. You can use this book to quickly find the best qigong
exercises to target your particular physical and mental health needs. Heal Yourself with Qigong allows you
to customize routines, making it ideal for both experienced practitioners and those new to qigong.
Choose and combine from these four sections:
Instant energy boosters
Exercises for restoring physical vitality
Emotion-balancing techniques
Practices for calming the spirit
For the past 1500 years, the Qigong workout for longevity has
been secretly passed from generation to generation at the
Shaolin Temple of Zen in Henan Province, China. Now, for the
first time, a 34th-generation fighting disciple from the temple
shows how to optimize energy, alleviate stress, boost the
immune system, and achieve optimum health. The complete
workout is shown with easy-to-follow instructions and images,
covering everything from stretches and stances to the Instant
Health self-massage. This comprehensive guide provides
detailed advice on adapting Shaolin Qigong to suit any life stage,
and includes training tips, Zen wisdom, and a personalized mind-body
workout created especially for the busy Western lifestyle.

8. The Root of Chinese
Qigong:
Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment
The Healing
Promise of Qi:
Creating Extraordinary Wellness Through
Qigong and Tai Chi
Yang Jwing-Ming
Roger jahnke
“...we are in Dr. Yang’s debt for this definitive guide to better health
and well-being.” --Irwin H. Rosenberg, M.D., Professor of Medicine and
Nutrition, Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Tufts University)
Yang, Jwing-Ming Ph.D., is a renowned author and teacher of Chinese
martial arts and Qigong. Born in Taiwan, he has trained and taught
Taijiquan, Qigong and Chinese martial arts for over forty-five years. He
is the author of over thirty books, and was elected by Inside Kung Fu
magazine as one of the 10 people who has “made the greatest impact on
martial arts in the past 100 years.” Dr. Yang lives in Northern California.
Unlocks the secrets of one of the most powerful of Chinese healing
arts...
Developed over millennia in China, qigong (literally, life force +
mastery, or refinement) is a set of techniques used to increase your
vitality, longevity, and sexual potency as well as achieve and maintain
optimal health and inner peace. In the groundbreaking The Healing
Promise of Qi, Dr. Roger Jahnke, internationally respected doctor of
Chinese medicine and author of the bestselling The Healer Within,
clearly and simply explains the concepts of qigong in practical terms.
With the help of 125 superbly rendered illustrations, he describes
a multitude of simple qigong tools, practices, and techniques for
accessing and utilizing the incredible power of qi. Rather than
focus on a particular form of qigong, Dr. Jahnke presents concise, easy-to-follow
techniques from among the more than 25 traditional and modern forms that he
has mastered and taught to thousands of people across the United States and
Canada.

9. Dragon and Tiger
Medical Qigong:
A Miracle Health System for Developing Chi
Qigong Empowerment:
A Guide to Medical, Taoist, Buddhist and
Wushu Energy Cultivation
Bruce Frantzis
Master Shou-Yu Liang
Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health,
Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to
mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Frantzis chose Dragon
and Tiger from among several hundred sets he researched because its seven
simple movements are easy to learn and offer about 80 percent of the health
benefits found in the more complex sets of 50–100 movements.
Dragon and Tiger qigong uses simple body movements to accomplish the
same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate
not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the
tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and
strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it
releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other
fluids; and quickly raises the body’s energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities. With over 150 illustrations
accompanying clear, thorough instructions, Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong offers an accessible and effective path
to health and healing.
Qigong Empowerment is the most unique and complete volume ever
written in the English language on qigong (Chi Kung). This volume can
be used for attaining better health, for healing, for gaining extraordinary
power, and for spiritual development. This volume consists of five books
which covers: - Traditional Chinese Medical theories and qi cultivation
methods. - Taoist methods to foster Essence, Qi, and Spirit. - Buddhist
Esoteric Abilities of the Body, Speech, and Mind. - Emitting, Absorbing,
and Healing Qigong. - Wushu (martial arts) Iron Shirt training. Qigong
(Chi Kung) has been an integral part of Chinese culture since ancient
China. High level qigong masters have always been respected and held
in high esteem in Chinese society. Qi is a Chinese term used to refer to
all types of energy. It is the intrinsic substance or the vital force behind
all things in the universe. It is the medium between and within all
material substances. We are all immersed in it. The term gong refers to
the power to produce an effect, an attainment of, or an accomplishment
that is achieved with steady practice. Loosely, qigong can be translated as the attainment of qi. Healers and the
medical society use qigong for healing and preventing illness. Martial artists use qigong for developing incredible
strength and abilities. Others use qigong to attain a greater consciousness.

11. Shaolin Qi Gong:
Energy in Motion
Daoist Nei Gong:
The Philosophic Art of Change
Nei Gong has been a well-kept secret
within the Taoist sects of China for
centuries. Based upon the original
teachings of the great sage Lao Tzu, it has only ever been taught to close
students of the masters chosen as the heads of the ancient orders. For
the first time in the English language, this book describes the philosophy,
principles and practice of Nei Gong. The author provides a breakdown of
the entire Nei Gong process, and explains in plain English the philosophy
which underpins Nei Gong practice, and which is based on the original
teachings of the ancient Taoist priests. The methodology of Sung breathing,
an advanced meditative practice which has until now been reserved for
‘inner-door’ students is described, and the book contains an entire set of
Qigong exercises accompanied by instructional photographs and drawings.
This book will be of interest to all practitioners of Qi Gong, martial arts and
meditation, and will be a rewarding read for anyone interested in Eastern
philosophy.
Damo Mitchell
The great teacher Bodhidharma is credited with the creation of Shaolin Temple
Qi Gong and kung fu in the 6th century CE. Motivated by the terrible physical
condition of the monks who spent all their time meditating or copying scrolls, his
two-part system promoted physical as well as spiritual fitness and became the
basis for all the martial and meditative arts taught in the Temple. These ancient
practices increase physical health and vitality, enhance creativity, and can be
practiced well into old age.
Author Shi Xinggui, a Shaolin monk, explains the fundamental principle of Qi
Gong--the art of mastering energy (qi) and moving it through the body--and
provides clear demonstrations of all the positions and movements. In order to
develop qi attentively, it is necessary to cultivate the art of slowness in both
movement and breathwork. Xinggui provides both a short form and a long form
of the daily exercises, with lessons on heart centering, organ strengthening, and
balancing the energy using the three dantians--the three energy centers of the
body. A 53-minute DVD of the exercises performed by the author is included.
SHI XINGGUI became a student at the Shaolin Monastery at the age of eight. His teachers there included Masters
Shi De Shin, Xu Xi, De Su, and De Duzan. In 1988 the author won the National Championship title for kung fu (70-kg
class) in Shaolin and again in 1993 and 1994 in Zheng Zou. He received his diploma in 1989 from Master Shi De Yuan.
He now lives and teaches in Goldegg, Austria.
Authentic qi gong as practiced in the Shaolin Temple where this discipline originated centuries ago
• Reveals the fundamental spiritual principles and includes both a short and long form of the daily exercises
• Explains the benefits of mastering energy in the body, such as organ strengthening
• Includes a 53-minute DVD of exercises performed by the author, a Shaolin monk

14. Qigong for Staying
Young:
A Simple 20-Minute Workout to Culitivate Your
Vital Energy
The Subtle Body:
An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy
Shoshanna Katzman
Gentle movements from the ancient Chinese art of self-healing and
fitness to maintain youthful health and vitality.
Shoshanna Katzman introduces readers to the practice of qigong
through her graceful twenty-minute program that incorporates
postures, breath, sound, visualization, and self-massage. This
revitalizing workout will help women of all ages maintain youthful
skin, eyes, and hair; improve fitness; and renew energy. Readers can
then customize their routine, as the author explains how to apply the
healing powers of qigong-along with herbal and dietary remedies-to
specific age-related concerns such as arthritis, osteoporosis, menopause, weight gain, and decreased sexual
vitality.
Shoshanna Katzman has been a qigong instructor and tai chi master for more than twenty-five years. A board
member of the National Qigong Association, she is the founder and director of the Red Bank Acupuncture and
Wellness Center in New Jersey and the co-author of Feeling Light.
All healers are “energetic” healers, whether they
know it or not. Because every health issue has a
physical and an energetic component, even a simple physical treatment like
bandaging a cut also impacts the body’s spiritual, mental, and emotional
welfare. The Subtle Body is a comprehensive encyclopedia devoted to the
critical world of our invisible anatomy, where so much of healing actually
occurs. Compiled by intuitive healer and scholar Cyndi Dale, this 500-page
full color illustrated reference book covers: What is the “subtle body”? New
scientific understanding of our quantum-state existence and the unseen
fields that determine our physical condition; True integrative care: how
combining Eastern energetic modalities with Western scientific rigor yields
optimum results; The meridians, fields, and chakras: detailed information
and diagrams about the role of these energetic structures in our overall
health; Energy-based therapy principles from the world’s healing traditions
including Ayurveda, Qigong, Reiki, Quabalah, and many more.
Cyndi Dale of Minneapolis, MN, is author of seven books, including Illuminating the Afterlife (Sounds True, 2008)
and New Chakra Healing (Llewellyn, 2002), which is currently in its 14th printing and has been translated into
11 languages. She is president of Life Systems Services and has conducted training across Europe, Asia, and the

15. Qigong Fever:
Body, Science, and Utopia in China
Chinese Medical Qigong
Tianjun Liu
Qigong is one of the most important aspects of traditional Chinese culture
and medicine. In recent years, Qigong therapy has attracted more and more
attention from modern medicine and science and is now widely applied in
clinical settings to treat illness and promote well-being. “Qigong Study in
Chinese Medicine” is the first English translation of the only official textbook
of medical Qigong, now in its third edition, used in colleges and universities
of traditional Chinese medicine in China. Combining the traditional therapies
of Qigong with the most recent outcomes of modern scientific research, it
provides an authoritative introduction to the knowledge system and contents
of Qigong study. This textbook will be a useful tool for medical students
and healthcare professionals interested in complementary and alternative
therapies as well as for anyone who would like to learn more about the
beneficial medical applications of Qigong.
Dr Tianjun Liu is director of the Qigong research laboratory at Beijing
University of Chinese Medicine where he has taught Qigong for twenty years.
He is also secretary general of the National Qigong Education and Study Association, a council member of
China Academic Society of Medical Qigong and the editor-in-chief of Qigong Study in Chinese Medicine, the
only official Qigong textbook used in universities and colleges of traditional Chinese medicine in China.
Qigong—a regimen of body, breath, and
mental training exercises—was one of the most
widespread cultural and religious movements
of late-twentieth-century urban China. The practice was promoted by senior
Communist Party leaders as a uniquely Chinese healing tradition and as a
harbinger of a new scientific revolution, yet the movement’s mass popularity and
the almost religious devotion of its followers led to its ruthless suppression.
In this absorbing and revealing book, David A. Palmer relies on a combination of
historical, anthropological, and sociological perspectives to describe the spread
of the qigong craze and its reflection of key trends that have shaped China since
1949, including the search for a national identity and an emphasis on the absolute
authority of science. Qigong offered the promise of an all-powerful technology
of the body rooted in the mysteries of Chinese culture. However, after 1995 the
scientific underpinnings of qigong came under attack, its leaders were denounced
as charlatans, and its networks of followers, notably Falungong, were suppressed
as “evil cults.”
According to Palmer, the success of the movement proves that a hugely important religious dimension not
only survived under the CCP but was actively fostered, if not created, by high-ranking party members. Tracing
the complex relationships among the masters, officials, scientists, practitioners, and ideologues involved in
qigong, Palmer opens a fascinating window on the transformation of Chinese tradition as it evolved along
with the Chinese state. As he brilliantly demonstrates, the rise and collapse of the qigong movement is key to
understanding the politics and culture of post-Mao society.

16. Natural Chi Movement:
Accessing the World of the Miraculous
The modern world is largely focused on the physical—
on the appetites and senses, on doing and having—
which can blind us to the spiritual realm. In Natural
Chi Movement, Tienko Ting articulates a theory of life that unites the physical and
spiritual worlds. He suggests there is nothing to learn or master; each of us—and
every living thing—is a product of the merging of physical and spiritual energy,
already endowed with the capacity to thrive and heal. Activation of our chi is the
component to wellness that most of us have been missing. It is the essence of the
practice of Natural Chi Movement.
Natural Chi Movement guides modern seekers in embracing their spiritual nature
and accessing the boundless potential of energy. Doing so, says Ting, can also help
address global problems from health care to ecology. Featuring 23 illustrations,
the book draws on Chinese history, philosophy, and medicine, as well as from the
author’s own work with spiritual energy. Natural Chi Movement is an exploration
into the nature of spiritual energy and how to access and use it for vibrant health
and optimal well being. Written in a simple, lucid style, Natural Chi Movement
sheds much-needed light on the nature of the energy that makes up all life,
opening up a world of extraordinary healing for everyone.
Tienko Ting is the originator of Natural Chi Movement, the simple practice of allowing the body to respond naturally
and spontaneously to the flow of energy. Born in Taiwan, Ting studied chi-enhancing techniques before discovering
the ancient form of chi activation he currently practices. This form extends back to Bodhidharma, the renowned

China: Qigong
Shi yan Ming
Charles McGee & Effie Poy Yew Chow
In his loft in New york City’s Greenwich Village, Sifu Shi Yan Ming
trains men and women of all ages, body types and backgrounds in
the fundamentals of kung fu. A 34th generation Shaolin Warrior
monk from China’s Shaolin Temple--the birthplace of Chan
Buddhism and the mecca of all martial arts--Yan Ming teaches the
students at his USA Shaolin Temple that there is no better workout
program than his brand of kung fu for getting the body and mind
into warrior condition.
Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of four-color photographs, the
warrior workout, distills a lifetime of Shaolin training and wisdom
into a 28-day workout. This complete-unto-itself program of both
fitness and spiritual lessons can be applied to every aspect of one’s
life: work, relationships, family.
Kung fu gives a superb aerobic workout at the same time that it
dramatically increases flexibility, power, and speed.. The ultimate
promise of the book is this: readers who stick to the plan for 28 days--for as little as 15 minutes a day--will be
transformed inside and out. And the enormous sense of accomplishment that results will radiate through their life,
allowing them to tackle the world with a warrior’s confidence, calm, and poise.
This introduction to Qigong (pronounced chee-goong) describes its

24. The Miracle of
Mindfulness:
An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
Meditation:
An In-Depth Guide
Thich Nhat Hanh, vo-dihn Mai,
Mobi ho
Ian Gawler, paul bedson
In this beautiful and lucid guide, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh offers
gentle anecdotes and practical exercise as a means of learning the skills
of mindfulness--being awake and fully aware. From washing the dishes
to answering the phone to peeling an orange, he reminds us that each
moment holds within it an opportunity to work toward greater self-understanding
and peacefulness.
Thích Nhất Hạnh (born October 11, 1926) is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk,
teacher, author, poet and peace activist who now lives in France. Born
Nguyễn Xuân Bảo, Thích Nhất Hạnh joined a Zen (Vietnamese: Thiền)
monastery at the age of 16, and studied Buddhism as a novitiate. Upon his
ordination as a monk in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thích Nhất Hạnh. Thích is an honorary family
name used by all Vietnamese monks and nuns, meaning that they are part of the Shakya (Shakyamuni
Buddha) clan.[1] He is often considered the most influential living figure in the lineage of Lâm Tế
(Vietnamese Rinzai) Thiền, and perhaps also in Zen Buddhism as a whole.
Meditation is increasingly recommended for relaxation, for enhancing
relationships and well-being, to increase performance in sports and business,
for personal growth, and to assist healing. Introducing mindfulness-based
stillness meditation, Ian Gawler and Paul Bedson explain how to build a daily
meditation practice. The authors also show how meditation can be used to
work with our emotions, aid healing, manage pain, or as a spiritual practice.
Meditation is a path we can pursue and refine throughout our lives. Drawing
on modern science as well as ancient Eastern traditions and the authors’ own
extensive personal experience as practitioners and teachers, this guide offers
the techniques and understanding needed to explore meditation practice
deeply. It is also an invaluable resource for meditation teachers from all
background.
Ian Gawler is a pioneer in the therapeutic application of meditation. He is the author of the bestselling

26. The Tibetan Book of
Meditation
Meditations from the
Mat: Daily Reflections
on the Path of Yoga
Lama Christie McNally
Rolf Gates, Katrina Kenison
Meditation helps us relax, sharpens our minds, and increases our creativity. In The
Tibetan Book of Meditation, Lama Christie McNally demonstrates that meditation
also provides a much greater gift. It awakens our innate potential to shape our
reality, to make moments of joy last forever, and to bring us the peace and
contentment that we all ultimately seek.
Written in an instructional yet intimate style, the author guides readers through
a progression of meditations, from the simple concept of compassion to the
transformative concept of emptiness. Teaching technique and content at the same
time, this book is unique in its comprehensive approach and will find a special
place in the hearts of novice and experienced meditators alike.
Christie McNally, a renowned master teacher and lecturer who has studied
with some of the greatest Indian, Tibetan, and western Buddhist masters, explains the central tenets of
Buddhism and reveals how they apply to everyday life. Combining ancient wisdom and contemporary
teachings, she leads readers along the path to a richer, fuller life through resonant examples and eye-opening
insights.
As more and more people in the West pursue yoga in its various forms,
whether at traditional centers, in the high-powered atmosphere of sports
clubs, or on their own, they begin to realize that far from being just
another exercise routine, yoga is a discipline of the body and the mind.
The 365 meditations incluided in this book offer a way to integrate the
mindfulness that yoga teaches into everyday life. Whether used in the morning to set the tone for the day,
during yoga exercise itself, or at the end of the day, during evening reflection, Meditations from the Mat
will support and enhance anyone’s yoga journey.

27. Science of Being and Art

Meditation:
The First and Last Freedom
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the
founder of Transcendental
Meditation, and this one-of-a-
kind book remains the definitive introduction to its practice. Since it was first
published in 1963, the book has sold more than 1.1 million copies in the U.S. alone.
In Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi unfolds his vision for bringing life to
fulfillment through a simple, effortless technique that anyone can easily learn and
enjoy. Currently, there are more than six million practitioners worldwide, with TM
centers in more than 108 countries.
More than 600 scientific studies have shown that Transcendental Meditation
technique helps to:
* Expand the mind to its unlimited cosmic potential
* Improve health and reverse the aging process
* Lower high blood pressure and risk of stroke
* Increase intelligence and creativity
* Boost memory and learning ability
* Reduce stress, tension, and anxiety
* Increase energy, vitality, and well-being
* Nourish inner contentment, happiness, fulfillment-the state of enlightenment.
The first upgrade to meditation since Buddha’s time
In this essential meditation handbook for the 21st century, Osho turns the traditional
notion of meditation practice on its head. Meditation: The First and Last Freedom
shows that meditation is not a spiritual discipline separate from everyday life in the
real world. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside
and around us. As we acquire the knack, meditation can be our companion wherever
we are-at work, at play, at rest.
Meditation contains practical, step-by-step guides to a wide variety of meditation
techniques selected by and/or created by Osho, including the unique OSHO Active
Meditations which deal with the special tensions of contemporary life. Recognizing
that it’s almost impossible for most people these days just to stop and sit silently, these meditations - including
the Osho Dynamic Meditation and Osho Kundalini Meditation - begin with one or more stages of vigorous physical
activity. This brings our physical and mental energies to a peak, so that the following silence is easy -- leaving us
alert, refreshed, and newly energized.
Newly revised and resized into a handy portable format, Meditation is the perfect text to begin or continue
exploring the joys of meditation.

Mindfulness for
Beginners
Dharma Singh Khalsa
Jon Kabat-Zinn
Proven effective by scientific research and presented here by Dr. Dharma
Singh Khalsa and Cameron Stauth, the practice of Medical Meditation
revolutionizes the healing process. By balancing and regenerating the
body’s ethereal and physical energies through simple meditations, Medical
Meditation unites the mind, body, and spirit into a powerful triad.
Each Medical Meditation here has a specific physiological effect, targeting
afflictions from arthritis to ulcers to cancer. Dr. Khalsa details the five unique
attributes that endow this type of meditation with far more power than
standard meditation. The combination of special postures and movements;
exact positioning of the hands and fingers; particular mantras; specific
breathing patterns; and a unique focus of concentration can change your
entire biochemical profile, easing you into a calm, healing state. Practiced in conjunction with conventional
or alternative medical treatments, cutting-edge Medical Meditation activates the healing force within you.
Perhaps no other person in America has done more to bring mindfulness
meditation into the mainstream than Jon Kabat-Zinn. Through many
research studies and his pioneering work at the University of Massachusetts
where he is founder of its world renowned Stress Reduction Clinic, Kabat-
Zinn has served as a recognized bridge between science and meditation.
With Mindfulness for Beginners, he offers the definitive course designed
specifically to introduce new students to the proven benefits of mindfulness
practice, including: stress reduction, alleviation of depression, chronic pain
relief, and more.
Featured in Bill Moyer’s PBS Special Healing and the Mind, Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD. is executive director at the
Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical
Center. He is the founder and former director of the UMMC Stress Reduction Clinic and an associate
professor of medicine in the division of preventive and behavioral medicine. Using mindfulness meditation,
Kabat-Zinn works to help people reduce stress and deal with chronic pain, and a variety of illnesses,
particularly breast cancer. He was a trainer for the 1984 U.S. Men’s Olympic Rowing Team and is especially
interested in reducing the stress-related problems in the inner city and in prison populations. Kabat-Zinn’s
books include: Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain
and Illness (1991); Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life (1994) and

29. Present Moment
Awareness:
A Simple, Step-by-Step Guide to
Living in the Now
Awareness:
The Key to Living in Balance
(Insights for a New Way of Living)
Shannon Duncan
Osho, Sarito Carol Neiman
Filled with easy, accessible anecdotes and exercises, Present Moment
Awareness shows readers how they can drop their emotional baggage,
calm their worries about the future, and start enjoying the peace and
happiness that can only be found in the present moment. Through
a series of simple but enlightening concepts, Duncan, who retired a
multimillionaire before the age of 30 and has become a word-of-mouth
phenomenon, shows how we can discover the true causes of our stress
and discontent, transform our emotions from rulers into advisors, and
start enjoying our lives, right here and now.
As a striving entrepreneur, Shannon Duncan had always thought
that money and success would bring him happiness. But when he retired a multimillionaire before the
age of thirty and could buy almost any possession or experience he wanted, he realized that the source
of happiness was definitely elsewhere. Through a series of realizations, brought about through self-exploration
and study, Duncan realized that what he was really searching for was to feel good about
himself, and thus feel safe and peaceful in the world. Once he gained the opportunity to realize what
wouldn’t bring him peace, he began to understand that peace was always within him, underneath the
turmoil, if only he would surrender enough to see it.
Underlying all meditation techniques, including martial arts-and in fact underlying all
great athletic performances-is a quality of being awake and present to the moment,
a quality that Osho calls awareness. Once we can identify and understand what this
quality of awareness is, we have the key to self-mastery in virtually every area of our
lives.
According to great masters like Lao Tzu or Buddha, most of us move through our
lives like sleepwalkers. Never really present in what we are doing, never fully alert
to our environment, and not even aware of what motivates us to do and say the
things we do.At the same time, all of us have experienced moments of awareness-or
awakening, to use another-in extraordinary circumstances. On the road, in a sudden
and unexpected accident, time seems to stop and one is suddenly aware of every movement, every sound,
every thought. Or in moments that touch us deeply-welcoming a new baby into the world for the first time,
or being with someone at the moment of death.Awareness, says Osho, is the key to being self-directed,
centered, and free in every aspect of our lives. In this book, Osho teaches how to live life more attentively,
mindfully, and meditatively, with love, caring and consciousness. OSHO challenges readers to examine and
break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to life in all its richness.
He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century”
and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people-along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha-who have
changed the destiny of India. More than a decade after his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings
continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

30. Radiant Mind:
Awakening Unconditioned Awareness
The Power of Now:
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Peter Fenner
Eckhart Tolle
Whether it is called enlightenment, pure awareness, or the “unconditioned
mind,” there exists an awakened state of pure liberation that is at the heart of
every contemplative tradition. Yet, according to Peter Fenner, this experience
of boundless consciousness does not have to exist separately from our day-to-day,
“conditioned” existence. Rather, we can learn to exist as unique individuals
at the same time as we rest in a unified expanse of oneness with all existence-
-in a state he calls “Radiant Mind.” In Radiant Mind, Peter Fenner shares the
insights, techniques, and exercises he has developed in teaching the thousands
of students who have attended his sold-out workshops, including: - How to
observe and dissolve fixations, to live in the here and now without being
controlled by our desires - Listening and speaking in a way that moves us toward pure openness--and lets us
share this experience with others - Tools for identifying our conscious and unconscious sources of suffering-
-and learning to transcend those patterns “As extraordinary as unconditioned mind may sound,” teaches
Peter Fenner, “it isn’t distant from our everyday life; it’s always readily available to us.” Now, this respected
authority on both Eastern spirituality and Western psychology introduces readers to a set of practices
available to anyone open to the complete possibilities of their spiritual evolution--and to the experience of
the unconstrained bliss of Radiant Mind. A master of nondual spirituality teaches practices for integrating
the liberated state of unconditioned awareness into your everyday life.
It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies
worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much
more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an
inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the
ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural
enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and
shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present.
The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect
to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One
Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.”
Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being,
liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London
and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of
his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation,
which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals
and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Health, Joy, andVitality
A New Earth:
Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
Donna Eden, David Feinstein
Eckhart Tolle
A tenth-anniversary edition of Donna Eden’s and David Feinstein’s definitive
guide to energy medicine . In this updated and expanded edition of her
alternative health classic Energy Medicine , Donna Eden shows readers
how they can understand their body’s energy systems to promote healing.
A highly interactive guide to working with energy to alleviate physical pain,
decrease stress, and improve memory and learning skills, this anniversary
edition includes: * a new foreword by Donna Eden; * a new section on
energy techniques that can help you deal with invasive medical procedures
such as surgery or chemotherapy; * extensive updates and revisions
throughout, based on Eden’s work with hundreds of patients and students
over the course of the past ten years; and * an updated “Resources Section.”
Donna Eden is a pioneer in the field of Energy Medicine, within both traditional and alternative health care
settings. Recognized for her in-born ability to literally see the body’s energies, to accurately determine the
causes of physical and psychological problems based on the state of these energies, and to devise highly
effective treatments.
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired
millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the
now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how
transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential
to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering
throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego
creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and
shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow
the path to a truly fulfilling existence.
The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has
been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies
in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A
New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.
Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London
and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of
his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation,
which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals
and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

32. Healing with Form,
Energy, and Light:
The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism,
Tantra, and Dzogchen
Energy Work:
The Secret of Healing and Spiritual Development
Tenzin W. Rinpoche, Mark Dahlby
Robert Bruce
In the shamanic world-view of Tibet, the five elements of earth, water, fire,
air, and space are accessed through the raw powers of nature and through
non-physical beings associated with the natural world. In the Tibetan tantric
view, the elements are recognized as five kinds of energy in the body and
are balanced with a program of yogic movements, breathing exercises, and
visualizations. In these Dzogchen teachings, the elements are understood to
be the radiance of being and are accessed through pure awareness. Healing
with Form, Energy, and Light offers the reader healing meditations and
yogic practices on each of these levels.
Tenzin Rinpoche’s purpose is to strengthen our connection to the sacred aspect of the natural world and
to present a guide that explains why certain practices are necessary and in what situations practices are
effective or a hindrance. This is a manual for replacing an anxious, narrow, uncomfortable identity with
one that is expansive, peaceful, and capable. And the world too is transformed from dead matter and blind
processes into a sacred landscape filled with an infinite variety of living forces and beings.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is one of the few Bon masters now living in the West. His skill as a teacher reflects
his more than 15 years in guiding Western practitioners. Geshe is the founder and director of the Ligmincha
Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia, and is the author of The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep and Wonders
of the Natural Mind.
Robert Bruce, author of Astral Dynamics, a metaphysical classic,
has worked privately as a healer, mystic, spiritual consultant and
paranormal researcher for 30 years and provides a free consulting and
healing service to the global Internet community. He has developed an
exciting method that enables readers to enhance their physical health
and spiritual practice by providing natural support for their personal
energy systems. Bruce’s method, which can be learned in 30 minutes,
delivers such profound benefits as improved immune system function;
enhanced vitality, energy levels and healing from everyday ailments;
better appetite control and easier weight management; and increased
development of psychic and spiritual abilities. Those feeling “stuck” on a
plateau in spiritual practice—from yoga, t’ai chi and chi gong to kung fu
or reiki—or simply searching for a way to increase their well-being and
overall enjoyment of life will want to experience the accelerated spiritual
progress made possible by Bruce’s simple method. His step-by-step
approach is Western in orientation and vocabulary, and it incorporates
thought form imaging, intention, elemental properties, self-healing practices and essential grounding
exercises to encourage safe, rapid results. Bruce reports that most people experience significant
energy body activity in their first practice session.

33. Light Emerging:
The Journey of Personal Healing
Energy Medicine
Barbara Brennan
Donna Eden, David Feinstein
Barbara Ann Brennan’s bestselling first book, Hands of Light, established
her as one of the world’s most gifted healers and teachers. Now, she
continues her ground-breaking exploration of the human energy field, or
aura -- the source of our experience of health or illness. Drawing on many
new developments in her teaching and practice, she shows how we can
be empowered as both patients and healers to understand and work with
our most fundamental healing power: the light that emerges from the very
center of our humanity.
In a unique approach that encourages a cooperative effort among healer,
patient, and other health-care providers, Light Emerging explains what the
healer perceives visually, audibly, and kinesthetically and how each of us
can participate in every stage of the healing process.
Presenting a fascinating range of research, from a paradigm of healing based on the science of holography to
insights into the “hara level” and the “core star,” Light Emerging is at the leading edge of healing practice in
our time.
Barbara Ann Brennan is a healer, therapist, and scientist who has devoted more than twenty years of
research and exploration of the human energy field. Following an advanced degree in atmospheric physics
from the University of Wisconsin, she worked as a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
She trained in bioenergetic and core energetic therapy at the Institute for Psychophysical Synthesis and at
the Community of the Whole Person in Washington, D.C. She was in the first graduating class of Dr. John
Pierrakos’ Institute for the New Age, now known as the Institute of Core Energetics in New York City.
The first practical guide to using energy medicine to improve physical
vitality, emotional health, and mental acuity.
World-renowned healer Donna Eden is able to literally see the body’s
energy keypoints and meridians. In Energy Medicine, she tells readers how
they, too, can visualize these energy systems, determine the causes of
physical and psychological problems based on the state of these energies,
and devise highly effective treatments to remedy specific ailments and
injuries. This is the only interactive guide that shows how you can work
with energy to strengthen the immune, circulatory, lymphatic, and
respiratory systems; alleviate pain, emotional stress, and depression; and
improve memory and learning skills.
In health conferences throughout the world, Eden consistently exhilarates
and amazes her audiences. Blending intuitive genius with a profound grasp of how the body functions as an
energy system, Donna Eden’s unique approach to energy medicine integrates Eastern, Celtic, and Western

34. Cutting Through Spiritual
Materialism
Meditation in Action
Chogyam Trungpa
Chogyam Trungpa
In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa
highlights a common pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls
prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal human tendency, he
shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to
develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. “The
problem,” Trungpa says, “is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even
spirituality.” His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from
this trick we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true
and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than
working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for over
thirty years and remains fresh as ever today. This edition includes a foreward by
Chögyam Trungpa’s son and lineage holder Sakyong Mipham.
Chögyam Trungpa (1940-1987)--meditation master, teacher, and artist--founded Naropa University in Boulder,
Colorado, the first Buddhist-inspired university in North America; the Shambhala Training program; and
an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International. He is the author of
numerous books including Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism,
and The Myth of Freedom.

35. Work, Sex, Money:
Real Life on the Path of Mindfulness
Chogyam Trungpa, Carolyn Rose
Gimian, Sherab Chodzin Kohn ed.
Each day we deal with the challenges of ordinary life: a series of mundane
experiences that could be summarized by the title of this book, Work,
Sex, Money. We all hope that these aspects of our life will be a source
of fulfillment and pleasure, and they often are. Yet they are also always
sources of problems for which we seek practical advice and solutions. The
best prescription, according to Chögyam Trungpa, is a dose of reality and
also a dose of respect for ourselves and our world. His profound teachings
on work, sex, and money celebrate the sacredness of life and our ability to
cope with its twists and turns with dignity, humor, and even joy.
He begins by breaking down the barrier between the spiritual and the
mundane, showing that work, sex, and money are just as much a part of our
spiritual life as they are a part of our everyday existence. He then discusses
these subjects in relation to ego and self-image, karma, mindfulness, and meditation. “Work” includes general
principles of mindfulness and awareness in how we conduct everyday life as well as discussion of ethics in
business and the workplace. “Sex” is about relationships and communication as a whole. “Money” looks at
how we view the economics of livelihood and money as “green energy” that affects our lives. The result is an
inclusive vision of life, one that encompasses the biggest issues and the smallest details of every day.
There are, in fact, few definitive answers in these pages. There is, however, authentic wisdom providing us with
tools we need to work with the toughest stuff in our lives.
The Way of Qigong:
The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing
Ken Cohen
Qigong is an integrated mind-body healing method that has been
practiced with remarkable results in China for thousands of years.

China scholar Kenneth S. Cohen explains how you too can integrate
