Abstract

In this CD, Dr. Nelems describes the detrimental effects of

persistent stress and anxiety on the immune system and how

favourable immune responses can be created by evoking the

relaxation response. A progressive muscle relaxation follows using

the breath to help release the tensions and anxieties of the day in

order to prepare for restful sleep (Sunset). It also introduces the

dynamic process of relaxation that allows us to become actively

involved in our healing journey and to interact in a healing way with

the inspiring images of nature?s renewal seen in day break or the

return of spring.

Abstract

"Cain shows how a bittersweet state of mind is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain. If we don't acknowledge our own sorrows and longings, she says, we can end up inflicting them on others via abuse, domination, or neglect. But if we realize that all humans know--or will know--loss and suffering, we can turn toward each other. And we can learn to transform our own pain into creativity, transcendence, and connection. At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways"-- Publisher's description

Abstract

This CD offers relaxation through guided imagery. Just as the

hummingbird knows how to draw nurture from the flowers, so the

listener is encouraged to draw upon images in nature that are

peaceful and calming. To variations of the tune of the well-loved

song "All through the night", we are reminded how nature itself

needs to sleep. The journey continues with progressive muscle

relaxation, the sound of gentle waves and finally the lovely mantra

"I am calm, I am peaceful, I am loved and I am healing". It ends

with guitar music and humming lull the listener further into restful

sleep.

Abstract

"How We Live is How We'll Die shares Pema Chodron's wise words on working with this flow of life-learning to live with more ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty; embracing new beginnings; and ultimately preparing for death with more wonder and less fear. Beloved teacher Pema Chodron writes this book in her 85th year, and her insights on making friends with change are poignant for readers of all ages. This book shares Pema's thoughts on the bardos--the Tibetan teachings on what happens between this life and the next--and how they are relevant in each moment of our life now. She also shares wisdom on working with challenging emotions of craving, aggression, and ignorance, transforming them into a path of awakening and love. The more freedom we can find in our hearts and minds as we live, the more fearlessly we'll be able to confront death and life's countless changes."-- Provided by publisher
