Collected by the author over many years, these stories from the Yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder daily to bring to light ever deeper meaning. They may be similar in intent to Zen Koans – but they are rather different in content. In many Zen Koans someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it’s extraordinary –but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life. In contrast, the stories here are often ordinary incidents from ordinary lives (not that there aren’t some extraordinary ones too!) that nevertheless open the mind’s eye to the vast potential for realization and inspiration to be found in daily life. The pictures featured throughout this book were brushed by Jacques Allais in the Suiboku style, in which he was an acknowledged expert. The innate beauty of this ancient monochrome ink-painting technique lies in its subtlety of expression, in which infinitely more is suggested than is drawn on the page – making it the perfect vehicle for focusing meditation practice as well as an ideal complement to the stories in this book.

Everyone in life is gonna hurt you,?You just have to figure out which people are worth the pain.?- Erica Baican??She Walks In Beauty like the night (Lord Byron)??Everybody is looking for someone they belong to. Everybody is looking for the sense of their lives. But whatever you do, nothing makes sense without love in your heart.?So, the question is "What can love do?"?Love helps to live and to survive in the hardest moments of our lives.?Love inspires you.??Love awakes good feelings in your soul. The feeling of flying in the sky...The feeling of growing wings... The feeling of real living, not existing...?Love brings harmony in your heart.?Love is belief.??Love is warmth. Warmth, which can protect you from all your fears.?Love is caring. Caring for every living being around you.?Love is giving. Giving everything you have, your joy and your sorrow, your heart and your soul, your love and your mind, offering a helping hand in hard moments to the person you love...?Love is pain. Pain that hurts you & inspires you at the same time...?Love is peace. Peace in your heart, in your mind, in your life.?Love is charity...?Love is romance. Romantic ideas, romantic acting...??And Love is the best feeling in the world. Love makes the world go round. It is the greatest mystery of all times. If you ask someone What is love?, He or she will hardly find enough words to express its meaning. Love can be different. There is love for parents, love for children, love for animals, love for friends; first love, love for husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. ??When you love someone or something, your heart and soul become warmer and kinder. People, who carry love in their hearts, are always happy and in good mood. Love helps to live and survive in the hardest moments of our lives. Almost all feelings in the world have some advantages or disadvantages.??However, love has only advantages.?It brings harmony and peace. About Author: Was born in city of Kharkov in Ukraine.

Ce livre n'est pas un nouvel ouvrage de l'auteur. Il regroupe et réunit ses deux guides pratiques, actualisés, sur la mise en ?uvre du magnétisme curatif et l'usage du pendule, publiés séparément en juin 2015 (Magnétiser, un acte d'amour) et en décembre 2016 (Le pendule, un fil de l'?me).??L'auteur s'est initié seul à ces deux méthodes qu'il utilise conjointement. Le pendule intervient comme un assistant, un "conseiller" sur la zone de souffrance à traiter et le geste à faire.

The text translated here is an historical find: an unknown commentary on the Yoga Sutra-s of Patanjali by Sankara, the most eminent philosopher of ancient India. Present Indications are that it is likely to be authentic, which would date it about AD700. The many references to meditation in his accepted works have sometimes been regarded as concessions to accepted ideas of the time , and not really his own views. If he has chosen to write a commentary on Yoga meditation, it must have been a central part of his own standpoint, although he was opposed to some of the philosophical doctrines of the official Yoga school. One would expect a tendency to modify these unacceptable doctrines if this text is really by Sankara. This turns out to be the case'.? T.P.Leggett - Introduction for the general reader -?1990 '.....Leggett's translation of the Vivarana did not receive the attention it deserved when it first came out. Some of the points that he raised are well worth consideration in the context of the authorship problem, and his contribution to the debate should be recognised..... Dr Kengo Harimoto in his Foreword to the e-book edition -?2017 'When enthusiasm flags, read sutras 11.15 - 17; look around you and see how anxiety, pain and death are rushing towards us like an express train. Yoga is a way to escape them'. T.P.Leggett - How to use this book for Yoga Practice - 1990 Excerpts from 'The Complete Commentary by Sankara on the Yoga Sutra-s' by Trevor Leggett

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.

Robert R. Provine p??e?te f?r? team? pe c?r?ri rareori b?tute de al?i oameni de ?tiin?? – ?n c?utarea sughi?urilor, tusei, c?scatului, str?nuturilor ?i a altor comportamente umane, aparent nedemne ?i de joas? spe??. De?i multe dintre activit??ile prezentate ?n Comportamente bizare sunt contagioase, ?n aceast? privin??, niciunul dintre ele nu ?ntrece c?scatul – p?n? ?i simpla citire a cuv?ntului ne poate face s?-i c?dem prad?. Chiar dac?, adesea, ?l privim ca pe un semn de somnolen?? sau plictiseal?, c?scatul ne ofer? indicii despre devoltarea socialit??ii ?i capacit??ii noastre de a empatiza cu ceilal?i. Implacabilul s?u mecanism de transmitere ne reaminte?te c?, uneori, suntem programa?i neurologic s? ne comport?m ca ni?te simple animale de turm? incon?tiente. ?Deschide?i cartea aceasta, care se bazeaz? pe cercet?ri serioase, dar care se cite?te ca un roman poli?ist, ?i descoperi?i lucruri pe care nici nu vi le-a?i fi imaginat vreodat? despre aceste comportamente.“ Frans de Waal, profesor la Universitatea Emory ?i autor al lucr?rii The Age of Empathy(2009)

n unele momente, mintea omeneasc depete att limitele simurilor, ct i pe cele ale gndirii obinuite, intrnd pe trmul altor realiti. Pentru minte, visele n sine constituie realiti solide, precum starea normal de veghe. n vis, ca i n starea de veghe, percepem o multitudine de sentimente i emoii, precum i situaii de o realitate de necontestat, care ne influeneaz modul de comportament i fora vital. Numai c, atunci cnd ne trezim, ne dm seama c totul a fost doar o iluzie. Mintea, care n sine este un instrument, ajunge, prin puterea pe care i-o acordm n mod incontient, s ne subjuge i s ne manevreze dup propriile nchipuiri, fcnd acest lucru inclusiv n somnul cu vise. ns, n somnul adnc mintea nu mai este prezent, iar atunci cnd ne trezim nu mai avem nimic care s ne aminteasc de acea perioad. Totui, chiar i n somnul adnc exist ceva care ne nsoete, fcndu-ne s intuim c existm chiar i n acea perioad n care mintea este absent. Dup cei 10-12 ani ghidai de o persoan a crei identitate a rmas chiar i acum necunoscut, realiznd care este adevrata noastr natur, toate aceste metode i tehnici aplicate de mine i scrise aici n carte mi se par inutile. ns mi dau seama c la acel moment dac mi-ar fi spus doar att: tii c exiti“, Eti contient c exiti“ i Ai avut vreun moment n care nu ai existat“, nu cred c a fi neles nimic i simplitatea adevratei mele naturi (care este i a voastr) ar fi fost, ca de obicei, trecut cu vederea de minte.

Povestea celui mai subestimat organ al corpuluiCheia unei vie?i mai s?n?toase ?i mai fericite se afl? ?n?untrul nostru.De?i intestinul este aproape la fel de important ca inima sau creierul, ?tim foarte pu?ine lucruri despre el. Giulia Enders ne arat? c?, departe de a fi doar acea parte utilitar? ?i – trebuie s? recunoa?tem – cam jenant? a corpului, a?a cum ne imagin?m, este unul dintre organele cele mai complexe, mai importante ?i chiar miraculoase ale anatomiei umane. Iar oamenii de ?tiin?? abia sunt pe cale s? descopere c?t de mult are acesta de oferit. Noi cercet?ri arat? c? bacteriile intestinale pot juca un rol ?ntr-o gam? larg? de afec?iuni, cum ar fi obezitatea, alergiile ?i Alzheimer.Pornind de la experien?a personal? a bolii care a inspirat munca ei de cercetare ?i continu?nd prin a explica totul de la fundamentele absorb?iei nutrimentelor la ultimele descoperiri ?tiin?ifice care leag? bacteriile intestinale de depresie, Enders a scris o carte de s?n?tate antrenant? ?i informativ?. ?armul discret al intestinului ne arat? f?r? t?gad? c? putem s? beneficiem cu to?ii de pe urma cunoa?terii minunatei lumi a func?ion?rii noastre interne.Mesajul autoarei este simplu: dac? ne trat?m bine intestinele, ?i ele ne vor trata le fel de bine. Dar cum ?i de ce trebuie s? facem asta? Putem afla citind aceast? surprinz?tor de agreabil? explorare a celui mai subestimat dintre organele noastre.?Cu entuziasm ?i un sim? al umorului foarte dezvoltat, Enders explic? tot ceea ce cititorii voiau ?i nu voiau s? ?tie despre intestinele lor... cartea aceasta sfideaz? plictiseala.“ – Publishers Weekly?Surprinz?tor, cartea se cite?te ca un thriller. Entuziasmul autoarei fa?? de subiectul tratat este contagios. Desenele alb-negru realizate de sora ei reu?esc s? aduc? un plus de informa?ii ?ntr-o manier? amuzant?. E ?mbucur?toare absen?a re?etelor ?i a limbajului tipic pentru c?r?ile de self-help.“ – Self Magazine
