True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart

Thich Nhat Hanh
Shambhala, 2006
An Onion Layer Pealer
I just finished reading Thich Nhat Hanh's "True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart." This little 100 page meditation simply changed my perspective on many things. Talking about a powerful read on how to show and demonstrate love in your life. It all comes back to mindful presence, being there, not just in body, but in full absolute awareness. A true demonstration of love is not monetary ...

Miyamoto Musashi
Shambhala, 2005
Business and Martial Arts
The book written by the samurai warrior Miyamoto Musashi circa 1645 is considered a classic treatise on military strategy, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists: for instance, some business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work. The term "Ichi School", which is referred to in the book, Go Rin No ...

Best book on growing up I have ever read!
If you just want to get your way, then this book is not for you. I'm a 62 years old widower looking for a partner to share love with. We are both reading this book and working on our relationship in light of the loving mindfullness perspective. I think it makes all the difference and therefore, have purchased about 10 copies for my kids and friends. Some people may think it redundant and ...

This is a great Mandala Coloring Book. The pictures are one-sided so you don't have to worry about them bleeding onto the other side. Great variety of Mandalas. Highly recommend!!!

Pema Chodron
Shambhala, 2007
Don't be scared to read or listen to it
In a nutshell, if you don't want to bring awareness to the places in yourself you avoid and would rather not deal with awakening, do not listen to or read this book. If you are interested in a brilliantly written perspective on compassionate spiritual awakening, then by all means get it and listen or read it over and over. We are so blessed to live in a time where we have teachers like Pema ...
When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Pema Chodron
Shambhala, 2005
let go of your cherished notions
This is mainly in response to the reviewer who wrote that this book is "esoteric drivel." The reviewer's summation of the main ideas in the book is incorrect and if you know anything at all about Buddhism, you know it isn't about dogma. One of the many teachings of Buddhism says "Live your life as an experiment. Don't take someone else's word about what the truth is. Find out for yourself." That ...

Shambhala, 2008
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910?1991) was one of the most respected and influential Tibetan Buddhist teachers of our age.

Here is his memoir of a remarkable life of study, teaching, and solitary retreat, told with a wealth of anecdotes and stories. It will be an inspiration to the readers of his numerous ...

Writing as spiritual practice - acceptance of your self
Thank you Natalie. I have felt writing as a spiritual practice for a long time, even though I had no name for it particularly. I don't know much about Zen but the insights helped me with my own practices. The book also helped me free the part of me that wants to write self-indulgently and for fun instead of always pursuing the next big project. Write for joy and for yourself, as well as for ...
Coloring Mandalas 2

Susanne F. Fincher
Shambhala, 2004
Quality Product in Many Ways!
Recovering from back surgery, I knew my artistic mind needed a more relaxing, yet retain a stimulating art media to keep my interest. This book does it! Mandalas do have spiritual or rather meditative foci that can help increase healthy thinking as one heals, but the FUN I have had using my professional color pencils, watercolor pencils and a bit of charcoal, chalk, and pastels on the quality ...

The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving Kindness

Pema Chodron
Shambhala, 2001
Very practical, accessible and well-written....
This is one of my favorite books by Pema Chodron. It not only does a very good job of describing the essence of Buddhism, but it goes beyond that in making Tibetan Buddhism more understandable and relevant to a Western audience without deveating from the tradition. In short, it contains the heart of the teachings of the Vajrayana. A nice complimentary book if you are interested in going deeper ...
When the Past Is Present: Healing the Emotional Wounds that Sabotage our Relationships
4 reviews
David Richo
Shambhala, 2008
One of the best books I have ever read
"When the Past Is Present" is one of the best books I have ever read. In this beautifully written work Dr. Richo explains psychological terminology in a manner that is easy to understand. This aspect of the book refreshing, clear and illuminating. Yet it is also a very spiritual book that speaks to one's heart. The material provides a profound and useful way for us to examine relationships so ...
Insight Yoga
Sarah Powers
Shambhala, 2008
Sarah Powers is widely known for her original ideas and techniques for using yoga both for health and spiritual growth. Combining traditional yoga techniques with the meridians of Chinese medicine and meditation, she has created a practice she calls Insight Yoga; a series of sequences that teaches both the dynamic flow poses (yang) and the more passive resting poses (yin) forms its foundation. Demonstrated by the author in beautiful photographs, ...
The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind--A New Perspective on Christ and His Message

Cynthia Bourgeault
Shambhala, 2008
A New View
Cynthia Bourgeault is a hidden treasure. When I first read her, I encountered, for the first time, the Jesus and the Christianity I had always looked for and longed for. This was confirmed to me yet again with the publishing of the her new book, "The Wisdom Jesus." With the publication of this book, I was moved to do something I never do: give a religious book to a Catholic priest. And the ...

Ken Wilber
Shambhala, 2007
Integral Vision
This little book is an excellent introduction to Ken Wilber's "map" and would serve as an excellent outline for an introductory course on his theory. It gives a brief description of the states, stages/levels, types, lines and quadrants as well as the concepts of perspectives and holons and 'holarchies.' It's very easy to read and the format is bright and captivating (almost like a comic book.)
The Unfolding Now: Realizing Your True Nature through the Practice of Presence
8 reviews
A. H. Almaas
Shambhala, 2008
Extraordinary "how to" of practicing Presence
We spend so much of our lives trying to get somewhere else. This book revealed to me how this habit of striving interferes in my inner experience of what is happening now. Learning to truly experience what is happening now does not mean being passive. It does not mean that I refuse to take action. It means that if I am sad, I experience that sadness, rather than rushing to cover it up with ...
Don't Bite the Hook: Finding Freedom from Anger, Resentment, and Other Destructive Emotions
11 reviews
Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2007
Philosophy delivered in common sense style
Pema Chodron explains the Buddhist philosophy in this as well as her many other CDs in a clear, relevant manner with just the right touch of humor relating to the human condition. She has mastered the philosophy, yet her modesty lets the listener know that she has been where we listeners often are. Easier to absorb than reading, for me, and a lot more fun. A great way to clear the mind at ...

Not just for generals
This is a book of strategy for psychological warfare--it helps you tackle the battles you face every day. One of the biggest themes is how to win a fight *before* it actually starts. If only our current government and military leaders had followed the wisdom of "The Art of War"...
