The Midrash of the death of Moses, our teacher, is a text belonging to the midrashic literature, one of those jewels that have gone unnoticed by the general public, and that only a few specialists know and appreciate. This text is a commentary on a well-known but misunderstood Judeo-Spanish proverb: "No one is a prophet in his own land". In the end, like all mortals, Moses will die, but not like other men, not at the hands of the Angel of Death, but from a kiss of the Eternal.

Discover a clinically proven way to reduce inflammation, stress, loneliness, and burnout while improving overall well-being. As lifelong meditators and mindfulness teachers, we confess we were almost embarrassed when we stumbled onto a 5-15 second shortcut to transcendence. This idea ran counter to everything we knew about meditation before we began our research. But, yes, it is possible. It only requires accessing the powerful emotion of awe in ordinary, everyday life. The changes in our lives have been profound, and after seeing the results repeated again and again in our thousands of patients, clients, and study participants, we've proven that our shortcut, coined the A.W.E. Method, works. --from the Preface. Research has proven that mindfulness improves well-being and reduces stress, anxiety, and pain. But for some, the practice itself feels challenging and inaccessible. That's where the A.W.E. Method comes in. In The Power of Awe, therapist Jake Eagle and chronic pain specialist Michael Amster, MD, share their extraordinary yet simple mindfulness practice that turns ordinary moments into awe-inducing experiences, helping you effortlessly achieve a heightened state of consciousness usually reserved for seasoned practitioners of mindfulness--all within a matter of seconds. A.W.E. stands for Attention, Wait, Exhale and Expand, and the method is a five- to fifteen-second, three-step process--a type of "microdosing mindfulness," or a brief, informal mindfulness practice supported by research conducted at UC Berkeley. The A.W.E. Method quickly transports us into awe, an incredibly powerful emotion that produces wonderment and a heightened state of consciousness along with some remarkable changes in the mind and body that can improve health and wellness. Experiencing awe does not require any demanding discipline or skills or "awesome" settings. The A.W.E. Method ensures that awe and its many benefits are accessible to you at any time, in any place--sitting at a stoplight, cooking a meal, petting an animal, or listening to a loved one's laugh.

David Wolfheart is an author, lecturer and mentor specializing in the world of runes. Along his path of spiritual development he felt a small emptiness. His purpose was to be able to help personal development through energy work and meditation with the runes. His study and development led him to practice with Rune Yoga and Stadhagaldr meditation techniques for several years. This inspired him to further evolve these practices and techniques into a more comprehensive energy harmonization work through rune meditation which he has called Rune Önd (runic life energy), which led him to write the book you hold in your hands today. The Rune Önd is a holistic work with the runes that encompasses many previous practices and other pioneering practices of the author, thus completing a solid system of meditation practices and energies with the runes, such as Staðagaldr (runic postural meditation), Rune-Staða Energy Flow (Staðagaldr in motion), Hvelir Rune Energy (rune work with the Hvelir or chakras), Önd Breath Work (breathing work of vital energy), guided visual meditations and more... This book is a reference for personal development through the runes, covering all areas: vibration, balance, healing, connection, relaxation and magical projection.

At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie was the perfect mark for cryptocurrency: a dad stuck at home with some cash in his pocket, worried about his family, armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something he--despite a degree in economics--didn't entirely understand. Lured in by grandiose, utopian promises, and sure, a little bit of FOMO, McKenzie dove deep into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded. But after scratching the surface, he had to ask, "Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?" In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jacob Silverman for an investigative adventure into crypto and its remarkable crash. Weaving together stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto "visionaries," Hollywood's biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government operatives, Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of irresponsibility and criminal fraud. Based on original reporting across the country and abroad, including interviews with Sam Bankman-Fried, Tether cofounder Brock Pierce, Celsius's Alex Mashinsky, and more, this is the book on cryptocurrency you've been waiting for.

You may have noticed that your child is easily saturated, feels intensely, and is very empathic. High sensitivity is a personality trait that brings a number of positive characteristics, such as increased creativity, enjoyment or closeness to others, but it also has a flip side, such as over-saturation or the difficulty of controlling intense emotions. Clearly, these are characteristics that affect child development and that may have become particular challenges in your day-to-day life. That is why it is so important to take them into account when raising a highly sensitive child. The book you hold in your hands offers the tools and information you need to determine if your child is highly sensitive and to understand what makes them different from other children. What's more, the authors offer a series of guided activities to help you acquire the habits that will lead to success in their overall development. It is a very practical book that proposes valuable steps to follow in your conscious upbringing in order to optimize your child's personal care in the physical, cognitive, social and emotional areas. Debora and Rosario are professionals in child development and high sensitivity, but they are also mothers of highly sensitive children who have experienced what it means to raise a child with these characteristics.

Based on the latest research, Skinny Liver is an authoritative, easy-to-follow guide not just for your liver, but for your whole body. The liver is the seat of our overall health and wellness and the health of nearly every organ is intimately connected with our liver. A healthy liver is essential to a fully functioning body, but our modern sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits can truly damage the liver -- and damage our health overall.A silent health crisis is impacting one-third of the American population -- nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Because its symptoms often don't manifest until the liver is seriously compromised, many people are not aware that they are at risk. Did you know that if you have fatty liver disease, you are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke), and potentially several devastating conditions such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer? Did you know that fat is as dangerous as alcohol to the liver? Award-winning dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick and hepatologist Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh have teamed up for a life-changing program that will help you achieve optimal health. Skinny Liver's four-week program shares the steps you can take to get your liver health back on track, with everything from exercise to healthy eating and other lifestyle changes--along with delicious liver-friendly recipes.

Dr. Elaine Aron's newest book, Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person, redefines the term "highly sensitive" for the professional researcher and practitioner. She dispels common misconceptions about the relationship between sensitivity and other personality traits, such as introversion and shyness, and further defines the trait for the benefit of both the clinician and patient. Readers will learn to assess for the trait, distinguish it from clinical diagnoses such as panic disorder or avoidant personality disorder, understand how sensitivity may change the presentation of a problem such as depression or shyness, and generally inform, validate, and improve the quality of life for these clients. She pays particular attention to self-esteem issues and helping patients separate effects of their innate temperament from problems due to their personal learning histories. Dr. Aron keeps both patient and practitioner in mind as she suggests ways to adapt treatment for highly sensitive persons and how to deal with the typical issues that arise. Three appendices provide the HSP Scale, a summary of the extensive research on this innate trait, and its relation to DSM diagnoses. Through this helpful guide, therapists will see a marked improvement in their ability to assist highly sensitive clients.

The traditional Tarot is what the ancients called a Mutus Liber, that is, a silent book, a book without words. Hence the importance of knowing the symbols that make it up. Ignorant of what the motifs refer to, which the discreet author of the Tarot has taken from the Tradition and the master cardmakers have copied and perpetuated, modern man considers these cards as a mere divinatory support. However, the Tarot conveys a traditional message. It is the same teaching handed down from age to age, unchanged in substance, but often adulterated in form through the ignorance of the copyists. This teaching, by its very nature, cannot be expressed in words because it does not speak to the discursive intelligence but directly to the soul.

The Owl Who Couldn't Hoot is a collection of four stories in which Robert Fisher and Beth Kelly remind the child in all of us of some important ideas that we have lost on our journey through adulthood. The main characters are an owl and a duck who can't pronounce what owls and ducks are supposed to say, a cuckoo who seeks to make another bird's song her own, a little butterfly who decides to make the most of the only day of her life, and a little sighthound who is terrified of everything. Written in the style of a fable, these stories help us to identify our fears, our worries and our doubts. They are thought-provoking. Their message is simple: if we fill ourselves with love, we will leave no room for hate. A seemingly simple teaching, but one that is often forgotten.

Discover Spiritual Minimalism: the "inside-out" path to getting rid of inner clutter and living a more fulfilled life. Everywhere you look, people in all walks of life are "going minimalist" and getting rid of their possessions. Yet as exciting as it can be to throw out half of your belongings, does it really bring happiness? As Light Watkins says: "If you're unhappy now, becoming a minimalist isn't likely to change that... unless you do the inner work to cultivate happiness on the inside." Light is famous for taking minimalism to the extreme―and now lives his whole life out of a single backpack. In Travel Light, he shares his surprising revelation that being a "spiritual minimalist" means you don't focus on material objects. What matters more than clearing out your closets is how much trust you have in your inner guidance. "Spiritual Minimalism is not about how much physical stuff you have," he says. "It's about how you communicate, incorporate service into your life, exercise, cook, clean, and express your love." Light shares his unique inside-out approach to minimalism using stories, anecdotes, and vignettes, along with real-world experiments and exercises that you can adapt to your own life. Here you'll learn how to: prioritize and cultivate inner happiness, make the most important decisions from your heart, get comfortable in the discomfort, live as though there are no throwaway moments, and tap in to your curiosity as a gateway to your true path, the "freedom of choicelessness"―decluttering your life decisions. You'll be invited to discover the joy of giving what you want to receive, following your curiosity, and living with a "clutter-free" approach to your choices, values, and life purpose. Implementing the principles of Spiritual Minimalism will get you aligned with your values and lead you to a life-changing adventure!

This book tells us about a very special garden: the garden of Life. It is the gateway to Peace and Love, both inside and outside. In it, a very special gardener dialogues with the plants and trees, with the gnomes, the sylphs and the fairies, with the undines and the elves. In it, we all discover that just as the bird does not understand the mechanism of flight and yet flies because it is in its nature to fly, so it is in the nature of man to attain love. In the tradition of The Little Prince or Juan Salvador Gaviota, this is a book written from the heart that speaks directly to the heart. Simple in its reading, but, at the same time, of great depth, The Gardener has been able to reach the soul of people of all ages, transmitting with simple metaphors drawn from nature those secrets that can help us to achieve happiness. Numerous readers have described it as a "bedside" or "bedside table" book, and its calm and harmonious atmosphere provokes a manifest sense of peace in those who read it. The first instalment of a trilogy entitled The Garden Cycle, The Gardener was published in 1996 without any publicity support, but thanks to the enthusiasm of its readers it has been passed on by word of mouth and has become a worldwide bestseller, now translated into English, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and Catalan.
