True Abundance

Michael Bernard Beckwith

When we find ourselves wanting more money or material wealth, what is it that our souls are really seeking?

According to Michael Bernard Beckwith, what we long for is 'true abundance' the overflowing treasure of divine energy that is all around us at all times. On True Abundance, this visionary teacher brings listeners practical and accessible techniques for breaking free of our limited view of prosperity and connecting to the bounty that is always available to us.

This two-CD program includes: Practicing the Law of Circulation: insights on how our concept of 'ownership' undermines genuine wealth and meditations for dismantling the internal barriers between you and your true divine inheritance, as well as skilful means for hearing the voice of Spirit that guides you toward prosperity, and more

Mindfulness Meditations for Pain relief

Jon Kabat Zinn

CD's AUD33.00

The chances are that your life, or the life of someone you know, is shaped by pain-and by the physical and emotional suffering that usually accompany it.

The good news: Jon Kabat-Zinn and his colleagues have helped thousands of people learn to use the power of mindfulness to transform their relationship to pain and suffering, and discover new degrees of freedom for living with greater ease and quality of life.

Session one gives you an overview of seven fundamental attitudes you can develop and deploy to cultivate mindfulness in relationship to chronic pain and its incessant challenges.

On session two, Jon Kabat-Zinn leads you in guided meditations drawn from his pioneering Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) methodology.

"Through the systematic cultivation of mindfulness, we can reclaim the entire spectrum of our experience and the joys inherent in living," explains Jon Kabat-Zinn. Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief offers you a precious and tested vehicle for embracing the 'full catastrophe' of the human condition and thriving in the face of it.

The Three Marriages

David Whyte

CD's AUD69.95

In The Three Marriages, David Whyte, the bestselling author, poet, and speaker, asks you to think about your significant relationship to your partner, your work and your inner self in a radically different way by drawing them into a mutually supportive conversation. According to Whyte, we humans are involved not just with one marriage with a significant other. We also have made secret vows to our work and unspoken vows to an inner, constantly developing self.

These Three Marriages constantly surprise us, and they demand larger and renewed dedication as the years go by. Whyte's thesis is that to separate these marriages in order to balance them is to destroy the fabric of happiness itself; that in each of these marriages, will, effort, and hard work are overused, overrated, and in many ways self-defeating.

Happiness, Whyte says, is possible, but only if we re-imagine how we inhabit the worlds of love, work, and self-understanding. Whyte argues that it is not possible to sacrifice one marriage for any of the others without causing deep psychological damage. He looks to a different way of seeing and bringing these relationships together and invites us to examine each marriage with a fierce but affectionate eye as he shows the nonnegotiable nature at the core of each commitment.

Only by understanding the journey involved in each of the Three Marriages and the stages of their maturation, he says, can we understand how to bring them together in one fulfilled life.

The Prophet

Joseph Tawardos

CD and Book AUD29.95

Joseph Tawadros never ceases to amaze and at 26 years of age, this young Australian already has a Freedman Fellowship under his belt, two young Australian of the year nominations, two limelight awards, four ARIA nominations and six albums to his name.

He continues to appear at festivals and concert halls throughout the world, dazzling audiences with his brilliant technique, his passionate musicianship and his joyous style of performance.

Kahlil Gibran's much loved book, The Prophet is the inspiration behind Joseph's sixth album. This literary classic, philosphically addresses topics such as Love, Pain, Work, Reason and Passion, Children and Friendship through poetry, and Joseph has composed music relating to each of these.

The packaging includes a full colour hard cover book featuring Gibran's poems accompanying the CD. This album is a remarkable body of work, which showcases a young Australian composer of musical maturity way beyond his years. It places Joseph squarely in the ranks of the world's greatest Oud players and is destined to become a classic in its own right.

Special Note: I had the pleasure of listening to Joseph perform tracks from this album live in January 2010. The music he created that night was breathtaking, soothing and stirring. Sue
