  • The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today.   Awakening Osiris is a beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead as a series of meditations that reveals the soul of Egypt like no book before. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate  - they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of  effective utterance, Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.
  • Technology touches every part of our lives. Computers put men out of work; pushing a single button can start a nuclear war. Yet gradually, the world is beginning to remember that it is Man for whom the machines must work, not the other way around. Science, for all its achievements, has not really helped us understand ourselves or realise our potential. Each of us needs to take it upon ourselves to understand our true nature and strength, remembering the infinite power given to us by the Universe and that the power of Buddha, a saint or even a great business man is available to all. The author regards his Four Principles to Unify Mind and Body as having been given to him by the universe to spread the word of the way of the universe and asks that each reader of this book pass the teachings within to others.
  • A master storyteller takes us further on his passionate and moving journey towards Truth, from a dramatic encounter with the shamans of Mexico to the peace of the Welsh countryside. His book is also a love story - about our need to know we are loved, and about love that faces death. In this enlightening exploration of the Sufi tradition Reshad Field brings us profound insights into the mystery of he unfolding matrix of life, the womb of the moment, and the many aspects of the archetypal feminine. To truly know that this body dies and that this is the only time we have, is the most powerful weapon we can ever have. With this understanding we can begin to live passionately, not wasting a moment of the precious time that is allotted to us, plunging gracefully into the immediacy of living, We work now, for the future of humanity, and as we know we are loved, time will be on our side.
  • Dr. Keeney has been at the forefront of significant changes in the psychotherapy field over the past twenty years. His writings have been published throughout the world by academic presses, and he has worked at some of the most prestigious psychotherapy institutions in the United States. Seeking to offer people a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us. The son of a minister, Dr. Keeney realized from an early age that the only way to achieve peace with himself was to discover his own spiritual path. He has spent years experiencing the teachings of holy men and women on the meaning of spiritual awareness, and has been initiated into the mystical practices of indigenous peoples of North and South America, as well as the Bushmen of the Kalahari. Dr Keeney is one of a handful of people who have been taught the all but extinct Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Offering experiences from his own life, Keeney skillfully incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life - from sleep to relationships, from work to your movement through the world - toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light.

  • Well-known Jungian analyst Bani Shorter examines how women are initiated into becoming themselves. In  former times transitions from one stage of life to another were prepared for and marked by ritual initiation; in modern times this necessity has been overlooked and women's natural development is being made more difficult as a consequence. Through working in close therapeutic relationship with women, Shorter found that women instinctively create rituals when faced with challenges and crises, to mark their journey towards maturation, wholeness and meaning.  In this process they discover who they are and recognise dimensions of themselves previously repressed or unrecognised.
