How do you feel about learning how to open it and transform your life? Since the beginning of human history, the third eye chakra has been recognized and revered by ancient cultures as a powerful entity that is the gateway from the physical world into the non-physical world. It has been described as "the seat of the soul", "the eye of wisdom", "the inner eye", and "the mind's eye." Awakening the third eye to harness its amazing powers has long been the pursuit of many spiritual schools, including Buddhism and Hinduism. Today, it remains the pursuit of those seeking happiness, health, and wellbeing. When awakened, the third eye allows us to fathom into the non-physical (but very real) spiritual realm, where we can find the true enrichment and purpose that we lack. This is the realm of our higher consciousness where we can claim our deepest intuition, our highest wisdom, and inner abundance to become healthier, more productive, and happier human beings. Today, slowly but surely, science has begun to confirm this. This book is a step-by-step guide that contains all you need to know about your inner eye and the steps required to awaken it. This is not your typical book on spirituality. This is a book about "actionable spirituality," meaning that you will learn very real and effective techniques to awaken, empower, and nurture your dormant third eye. After all, what good are vague theories and spiritual platitudes if you can't apply them to get tangible results? You will learn: How to awaken your third eye to bring your physical and spiritual body into harmony, empowering you to live as your highest possible self. How the amazing and mysterious pineal gland is related to your third eye. Basic groundwork techniques for opening the third eye. Powerful meditations for opening and balancing the third eye. How to nurture your third eye with diet, crystals, color, essential oils and affirmations. How to balance the chakra system. Preparing yourself for the spiritual gifts of psychic dreams, seeing auras and clairvoyance. How to see and read auras. How to interpret psychic dreams and intuitive messages. And much more, including visualizations, lifestyle changes, and simple tips and methods to add to your routine. It's unfortunate that many people are skeptical of the spiritual aspect of our being and the role it can play in reconnecting us with ourselves and with the world around us. The powerful takeaways and the results you will experience will make this very clear. This book will take you on a magnificent adventure that will end with you experiencing inner peace, incredible wisdom, immense gratitude, and the discovery of realms you never knew existed.

Danger is Firesign's take on the hard-boiled detective character, with firstperson narration and crazy adventures that often involve mistaken identity, and of course there's always a dangerous dame. The skits spoof the conventions of those old detective radio shows, right down to the special effects, the sponsors, the on-air host, the convoluted plots, and just about anything else that one might have heard on a classic serial. "The Beatles of comedy." -Library of Congress "The Firesign Theatre is a comedy group that uses the recording studio at least as brilliantly as any rock group ..." -Robert Christgau ..". [Firesign is] the funniest team in America today, combining elements of W C Fields, James Joyce, Lord Buckley, contemporary television and Thirties radio, scrambling it all up in a collective consciousness that defies description, and then spewing it out in a free-form half-hour epic presentation of sheer insanity ... Their timing is dynamite, their dialog kaleidoscopic, and their satire is, so to speak, acidic. WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN ... a masterpiece of paranoia." -Ed Ward, Rolling Stone
“A must-read for anyone interested in incorporating meditation into their lifestyle.” ––Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent for CNN Heartfulness is an ideal, a spiritual way of living by and from the heart that is inclusive of all ideologies, beliefs, and religions. In this heart-centered book, a student in conversation with his teacher, Kamlesh D. Patel—affectionately known as Daaji, the fourth and current spiritual guide of the century-old Heartfulness tradition—present a unique method of meditation with the power to facilitate an immediate, tangible spiritual experience, irrespective of a person’s faith. Our modern, fast-paced world can be an overwhelming place. Every day, we’re bombarded with messages telling us that in order to be happy, fulfilled, and worthy, we must be better, do more, and accumulate as much material wealth as possible. Most of us move through our busy lives with our minds full of these ideas, multitasking as we strive to navigate the responsibilities and expectations we must meet just to make it through the day. But what if there is another way? What if, rather than letting the busyness of life overtake our minds, we learn to be heartful instead? Based on Daaji’s own combination of approaches and practices for the modern seeker—which draws from the teachings of Sahaj Marg, meaning “Natural Path”—Heartfulness is a contemporized version of the ancient Indian practice of Raja Yoga, a tradition that enables the practitioner to realize the higher Self within. While many books describe refined states of being, The Heartfulness Way goes further, providing a pragmatic course to experience those states for oneself, which, per the book’s guiding principle, is “greater than knowledge.” Heartfulness meditation consists of four elements—relaxation, meditation, cleaning, and prayer—and illuminates the ancient, defining feature of yogic transmission (or pranahuti), the utilization of divine energy for spiritual growth and transformation. Using the method, detailed practices, tips, and practical philosophy offered in this book, you’ll reach new levels of attainment and learn to live a life more deeply connected to the values of the Heartfulness way—with acceptance, humility, compassion, empathy, and love.
An edge-of-your-seat thriller from the bestselling author of I Know What You Did Last Summer. When Karen closes her eyes, the visions come. Through time and space, she sees a place where stolen children sleep. And if Karen denies a young policeman's request for help, the children may never go home again. Lois Duncan presents a ticking clock mystery with thrills at every turn.
The first modern, comprehensive resource on spiritual awakenings, this pragmatic, clear guide covers everything from the first step on a spiritual journey to enlightenment, and the different types of spiritual awakenings, from mild to dramatic, we may go through. Using the concept of the twelve layers that cover an awakened state Mary Mueller Shutan addresses every step of the spiritual journey, starting with the Self and showing how family, ancestral, past lives, karmic, archetypal, and other larger layers such as societal, cultural, global, and cosmic energies condition us to sleep and obscure our realization of an awakened state. Instructions for how to navigate through each of these layers and how to recognize where we are in our spiritual journey are included each step of the way along with common physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms that may be experienced. By addressing post-awakening states, oneness, dark nights of the soul, ego death, near-death and severe illness, psychic abilities, addictions, dietary changes, the God self, personal and collective shadow, and psychosis vs. awakening we understand the experiences we may go through while struggling with spiritual awakenings. This practical book opens new understandings of how to live in the world while going through an awakening process, and offers the revolutionary idea that we are meant to be humans, to have a physical body with physical, sensate experiences and emotions. We are meant to live in the world and be a part of it even as fully awakened individuals. This guide proposes a look at the possibility of leading a grounded, earth-bound life of work, family, friends, and other experiences in an awakened state.
