Few activities are as spiritually satisfying as the art of the meditative “tangle” drawing. With this book, teens can find a quiet moment to craft an intaglio of intricate, mandala-like drawings that will calm and bring on a peaceful state that clears the mind and facilitates creativity and relaxation. Offering a different hand-illustrated prompt for each day of the year, Daily Zen Doodles inspires kids to lose themselves in the contemplative act of sketching beautifully repeating patterns and abstract designs. Whether it’s the outline of a nautilus shell, the petals of a lotus blossom, or the spokes of the Buddhist wheel, the mindfulness-inspiring ideas in this book foster focus and help unlock that budding inner artist. Accompanied by apt quotes from spiritual leaders and famed philosophers to provide you with an added spark of inspiration, each drawing prompt is an invitation to an improved mindset and elevated state of inner peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe wave of the future has been around since the beginning of times: it's called Nature. Let inventor and entrepreneur Jay Harman introduce you to stunning solutions to some of the world's thorniest problems. Why does the bumblebee have better aerodynamics than a 747? How can copying a butterfly wing reduce the world's lighting energy bill by 80%? How will fleas' knees and bees' shoulders help scientists formulate a near-perfect rubber? Today an interdisciplinary and international group of scientists, inventors and engineers is turning to nature to innovate and find elegant solutions to human problems. The principle driving this transformation is called biomimicry, and Harman shares a wide range of examples of how we're borrowing from natural models to invent profitable, green solutions to pressing industrial challenges. Aimed at a business audience, aspiring entrepreneurs, environmentalists and general science readers, The Shark's Paintbrush reflects a force of change in the new global economy that does more than simply gratify human industrial ambition; it teaches us how to live in harmony with nature and opens bright opportunities for a better future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExperiences of one life...told simply. A beautiful book filled with gorgeous pictures, poetry, stories, and Spirituality for the real world. Sucarha's thoughts express respect for All life and the Home we all share. Synopsis: A new look at a more simple facet of Spirituality. These 'Ponderings' touch on the living of Life, its agonies and its ecstasies. They honor the incredible World we reside in, along with all of Its creatures. They serve, simply, as food for thought, and implore no rigid list of 'should's' and 'should not's' for attaining enlightenment. They make no promises of continual Epiphanic bliss, yet, acknowledge the Miracles surrounding us. The ideology presented is only the discernment of Life 'within' yourself, and the impact of your perceptions of the world you are surrounded by 'without'. Perhaps, there is no other way to live it... From Inside... a portion of Circle of Life It became my fondest desire to share with other searchers, others in pain, that it is ok to be human. It is ok to question, to hurt, to anger, to slide back just as you begin to inch forward. It is Life. Experience it. Learn and grow from it. That worth achieving does not come cloaked in leisure, free of effort, and definitely not wrapped in continual bliss. Yet, in the midst of the toil, the wounds, take rest in the gifts that surround you. You need but look at a rose, a waterfall, for the Universe and all Life is God in Form. I share with you, now, my little book of simple things. Things anyone, regardless of age, health, wealth, or belief, can ponder, can do.
