Transcendent Beauty will take you on a journey where you’ll see how easy it can be for you to shine! At the moment of conception, our soul fills us with a radiant light, as it gently whispers into every cell of every baby girl that we are beautiful. But as our mind begins to develop, a new voice begins to emerge: that of the ego. This voice tells us what we “should have done,” what we “must look like,” or how we “need to be.” It can talk so much, and so loudly, that if we listen to it long enough we’ll become so distracted from our soul that our light, once vibrant and radiant, becomes dull and dim. Often when we meet a person who has “lit up the room,” we say that she’s beautiful. The transcendently beautiful have an inner beacon that’s brilliantly lit and brimming with bliss. They’ve learned how to radiate light while calming the ego—knowing that when the mind abides by the soul, the body, in turn, is connected to this knowingness, and transcendent beauty follows. Such women SHINE! The world is magically attracted to them. And while most people talk about attractiveness as being merely physical, true beauty definitely comes from the soul. If you embrace and practice the principles outlined in Transcendent Beauty, you’ll see how easy it can be for you, too, to shine with an intoxicating power!

"Transcendent beauty rises above physical limitations and endures the passage of time."--Hema Sundaram, M.D. Have you ever considered why some cosmetic procedures carry no stigma at all, but procedures that relate to aging do? If it is not "wrong" for a 14-year-old to straighten her teeth orthodontically, why is it "wrong" for a 40-year-old to have laser surgery to remove her wrinkles? In Face Value, Hema Sundaram, M.D. shows you how to make your own choices when it comes to beauty. She examines our culture's conflicted messages about beauty, from ancient myths to modern tabloids, and she reveals how women get caught in false dichotomies such as "natural versus artificial beauty" and "inner versus outer beauty." Dr. Sundaram's authoritative guide to ageless beauty teaches you how to harmonize your inner and outer beauty. Her integrative regimen includes: * Suggested lifestyle changes that can slow your rate of aging * Advice on how to vanquish the seven negative emotions that age you, and replace them with the principles of transcendent beauty * An up-to-date prescription for at-home skin rejuvenation, including a 7-Minute Amazing Skin Regimen that fits into even the busiest schedule * Must-have information on the newest cosmetic surgery technologies and strategies for successful surgery, including how to know when you're ready for cosmetic surgery, how to choose the best surgeon and how to avoid cosmetic surgery disasters * Meditations to develop and project your inner, spiritual beauty * A results-oriented plan for harnessing your personal "Power Points," to overcome the ten ways your face ages Along the way, you'll read the inspiring real-life stories of Dr. Sundaram's patients, women who've experienced the liberation of finding their true Face Value.

Anyone attempting to describe the indescribable nature of reality faces the same challenge-how does one use words to explain something that transcends language? Many writers fall into the trap of using more words, but author, spiritual teacher, and health psychologist John Astin takes a different approach: using fewer words instead of more, and grounding them with practical exercises designed to help readers focus on the content of their immediate experiences, rather than their linguistic or conceptual descriptions of them.

Synesthesia is a fascinating phenomenon which has captured the imagination of scientists and artists alike. This inherited condition gives rise to a kind of 'merging of the senses', and so for those who experience it, everyday activities like reading or listening to music trigger extraordinary impressions of colours, tastes, smells, shapes and other sensations. Synesthesia research also informs us about normal sensation because all people experience cross-sensory mappings to an implicit degree. Synesthesia has a considerably broad appeal, and in recent decades the field has experienced a resurgence of interest. These advances have painted a detailed story about the development, genetics, psychology, history, aesthetics and neuroscience of synesthesia, and provide a contemporary source of study for a new generation of scholars. The Oxford Handbook of Synesthesia brings together this broad body of knowledge into one definitive state-of-the-art handbook. It includes a large number of concisely written chapters, under broader headings, which tackle questions about the origins of synesthesia, its neurological basis, its links with language and numbers, attention and perception, and with 'normal' sensory and linguistic processing. It asks questions about synesthesia's role in language evolution, and presents both contemporary and historical overviews of the field. It shows synaesthesia's costs and benefits (e.g., in creativity, memory, imagery) and describes how synaesthesia can provide inspiration for artists and designers. The book ends with a series of perspectives on synesthesia, including a first-hand account, and philosophical viewpoints which show how synaesthesia poses unique questions about sensation, consciousness and the nature of reality.
