Book Description
Imagine you have become two different people. Today, you are a Bar Mitzvah, studying for a ceremony in November. Then, suddenly, you dream (a vivid one, no less!) that you have been transported back in time to 1939 Poland, and become part of a Holocaust. And you are LIVING this dream. And then you dream that you have been transported to Poland in the middle ages. And you are a Jew. And you are to be eradicated by gentile society that sees Jews as not chosen, but sub-human. How can you react? How can you think? What do you think? What is the TRUE reality? How can you survive? And what does it mean to be a Jew, today or then? And what about GOD, ADONOY? Is GOD listening to us? Does GOD care? And most important, what is the purpose of a modern Bar/Bat Mitzvah if it doesn't give the Jews of 2008 a link with the terrors and beliefs of the past? And if it isn't meaningful or relevent? Imagine you are Reuben Maimon, an impressionable young man of almost-thirteen, about to take the vows of Judaism for his Bar Mitzvah, yet, with these horrible (lifelike!) dreams, he must question who he is, and what the purpose of that ceremony is. Imagine you are Reuben Maimon, living two different lives with the same cast of people, and not knowing what the true reality is. Imagine. Imagine what would happen if you should die before you wake. Imagine, if you were Reuben Maimon, if he should die before he wakes. Imagine!

Lighten Up
Author: Rodney Laney
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 1637580118
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Do you understand how your cardinal memories are the keys to your story development? Or how these very same memories may limit your potential? Lighten Up is more than a coming-of-age memoir. It is an in-depth look at Rodney Laney’s disengagement from his cardinal memories. The book is humorous and provocative as Laney describes his journey into meditation and spirituality. Once you learn how to release the negative emotions attached to the images in your mind, you’ll free yourself from the habitual thoughts and emotions that cause your circular and limiting behavior. And once you release the emotions weighing you down, you’ll actually feel lighter. And maybe your stories will be funnier, as well.

Sun After Dark
Author: Pico Iyer
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030742801X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
One of the best travel writers now at work in the English language brings back the sights and sounds from a dozen different frontiers. A cryptic encounter in the perfumed darkness of Bali; a tour of a Bolivian prison, conducted by an enterprising inmate; a nightmarish taxi ride across southern Yemen, where the men with guns may be customs inspectors or revolutionaries–these are just three of the stops on Pico Iyer’s latest itinerary. But the true subject of Sun After Dark is the dislocations of the mind in transit. And so Iyer takes us along to meditate with Leonard Cohen and talk geopolitics with the Dalai Lama. He navigates the Magritte-like landscape of jet lag, “a place that no human had ever been until forty or so years ago.” And on every page of this poetic and provocative book, he compels us to redraw our map of the world.

Mirror Meditation
Author: Tara Well
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 168403969X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Discover the power of mirror meditation to help you awaken self-compassion, increase self-awareness, and gain the confidence needed to thrive. Seeing ourselves clearly isn’t always easy—especially in the age of social media. Technology has eroded our capacity for authentic self-reflection. As a result, we feel more anxious and depressed, have shorter attention spans, and have become more estranged from ourselves and each other. We’ve also become more critical of our physical appearance, and this self-criticism can damage our confidence and stand in the way of our happiness. In order to heal, we must come face to face with our true selves—not the images of ourselves that we alter and post online. If you're ready for self-reflection that has nothing to do with selfies, this book will reveal the way. Based in cutting-edge neuroscience, Mirror Meditation offers mindful practices for increasing your self-awareness, managing stress and emotions, developing self-compassion, and increasing your confidence and personal presence. Using the three principles of mindfulness meditation—attention to the present moment, open awareness, and kind intention toward oneself—you’ll realize just how much your self-criticisms are affecting you. Then you’ll have a choice—and a practice—to treat yourself with more self-acceptance. Self-awareness can help you break free from both your inner critic and the external world that stokes the fears and anxieties that we are never good enough, never have enough, and are never safe enough. The simple self-mirroring technique in this unique guide isn’t grounded in technology—just a commitment to be present with yourself.
