Book Description
Spiritual engineering brings a radically profound contribution to spirituality: clear instruction in the specific action needed to induce, enhance, and sustain sacred ecstasy, the utmost mystical communion and union with the divine. This groundbreaking book introduces creative practices and mystical techniques that ready you for old-school ecstatic spiritual awakening.The Keeneys initially get you working with the essential "ingredients" of sacred ecstasy-fascinating rhythm, spontaneous movement, tonal alignment, and sacred emotion. You are next introduced to the required but typically overlooked art of ecstatically turning a mystical prayer wheel. This enables the heartfelt reception and soulful expression of sacred song, the triggering of sanctified shaking, the activation of an inner rhythm machine, the release of spontaneous ecstatic healing, and more. Rather than offer reductionist techniques that dilute the sacred, the tools in this book invite you to plunge more deeply into divine mystery, empower your hookup to God, and set your soul on fire.The beginning inspiration for spiritual engineering arose from the Keeneys' visionary dreams of the forgotten genius and pioneer sensory physiologist Charles Henry who conducted his work at the Sorbonne in Paris during the late 19th century. Dreams of Henry, along with Nikola Tesla, William Blake, Zora Neale Hurston, and others led the Keeneys to "reverse engineer" sacred ecstatic experience so that sincere seekers from any spiritual tradition can open the door to an ecstatically charged spiritual life.This book is a mutual and equal collaboration of Hillary Keeney, Ph.D. and Bradford Keeney, Ph.D., authors of Sacred Ecstatics: The Recipe for Setting Your Soul on Fire, Climbing the Rope to God: Mystical Testimony and Teaching, Way of the Bushman: Spiritual Teachings and Practices of the Kalahari Ju/'hoansi, Circular Therapeutics: Giving Therapy a Healing Heart, Creative Therapeutic Technique: Skills for the Art of Bringing Forth Change, and Recursive Frame Analysis: A Qualitative Research Method for Mapping Change-Oriented Discourse. www.sacredecstatics.com

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thought leader, visionary, philanthropist, mystic, and yogi Sadhguru presents Western readers with a time-tested path to achieving absolute well-being: the classical science of yoga. “A loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SPIRITUALITY & HEALTH The practice of hatha yoga, as we commonly know it, is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. In fact, yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative book Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening, from a boy with an unusual affinity for the natural world to a young daredevil who crossed the Indian continent on his motorcycle. He relates the moment of his enlightenment on a mountaintop in southern India, where time stood still and he emerged radically changed. Today, as the founder of Isha, an organization devoted to humanitarian causes, he lights the path for millions. The term guru, he notes, means “dispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for you. . . . As a guru, I have no doctrine to teach, no philosophy to impart, no belief to propagate. And that is because the only solution for all the ills that plague humanity is self-transformation. Self-transformation means that nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life.” The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new. Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our agency and our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.

Seiki Jutsu
Author: Bradford Keeney
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620552531
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
A guide to the ancient Japanese art of working with concentrated life-force energy, seiki, for self-healing, revitalization, and creativity • Explains how to awaken seiki, guiding you through the stages of seiki development • Details how to develop your own daily practice for self-healing and renewal as well as providing exercises to infuse your everyday activities with seiki • Includes many inspiring stories from the authors’ decades of healing work Seiki jutsu is the ancient Japanese shamanic art of working with seiki, concentrated life-force energy, for self-healing, revitalization, creativity, and inspiration. Known in Tantra as kundalini and to the Kalahari Bushmen as n/om, seiki has been called “activated and strengthened chi” and is often described as a “non-subtle” energy because it is strongly felt when awakened. Centering on spontaneity of movement to gather and transmit seiki, the practice of seiki jutsu does not require years of training or endless memorization of forms. Once you have received seiki, your daily practice will teach you to activate the flow of this powerful energy to recharge your body, mind, and spirit and empower you to find your unique destiny. Renowned seiki jutsu masters Bradford and Hillary Keeney detail the history and lineage of seiki jutsu beginning in 8th-century Japan and reveal how this ancient practice was used by the samurai. The authors show how seiki underlies the “flow experience” sought after by artists, musicians, athletes, and performers of all types. They explain how to recognize the awakening of seiki, guiding you through the stages of seiki development with stories of healings they have participated in or witnessed. They reveal how to develop your own daily practice for self-healing and renewal as well as provide active exercises to discover your life’s purpose, infuse your everyday activities with seiki, and motivate yourself to create a fulfilling life. They show that no method of performance, spiritual practice, or philosophy of life can fully awaken unless you are instilled with sufficient seiki. Regarded in Japan as “the fountain of youth,” seiki jutsu provides a way to bring maximum vitality into every aspect of life.
