You can dissect and analyze your issues for decades, but nothing will actually resolve them and change your life like The Presence Process.

We all long to be free of our discomfort and experience inner peace. However, the attempt to get rid of our discomfort is misguided. We're not broken and don't need to be healed. Our difficulty is that our deeply suppressed emotional imprints from childhood distract us from an awareness of the present moment. Until this emotional charge from our past is integrated, our attempts to quiet our thoughts and access the peace, joy, and love that are the bedrock to our being are of only limited success. Since presence is universal, it has the ability to manifest in our daily experience the very circumstances required for us to integrate the dysfunction that keeps us from experiencing the radiance of present moment awareness.

We are each responsible for determining the quality of our personal experience, and The Presence Process guides us into taking responsibility for our emotional integration. It's a way to consciously grow up.

Today there are many websites and Hildegard groups that celebrate and honor Hildegard's teachings, philosophy, art, and music. Author Matthew Fox writes in Hildegard of Bingen about this amazing woman and what we can learn from her.

In an era when women were marginalized, Hildegard was an outspoken, controversial figure. Yet so visionary was her insight that she was sought out by kings, popes, abbots, and bishops for advice. A sixteenth century follower of Martin Luther called her the first Protestant because of her appeals to reform the church.

As a writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess, healer, artist, feminist, and student of science, Hildegard was a pioneer in many fields in her day.

For many centuries after her death Hildegard was ignored or even ridiculed but today is finally being recognized for her immense contribution to so many areas, including our understanding of our spiritual relationship to the earth--a contribution that touches on key issues faced by our planet in the 21st century, particularly with regard to the environment and ecology.

Better Days will help you get to know your inner critic, and quiet its yammering, and in so doing, get to know the person you were born to be. - Anne Lamott, Author of Dusk Night Dawn, Bird by Bird and others

What if your superego has it wrong?

That snarky little bully in your head...you know the one.

You've lived under its weight for decades.

I'm a fraud, I'm lazy
I need to work harder
I need to be tougher, funnier, calmer...
I need to stay quiet, look pretty, stop showing off
I need to put others before me, I need to put myself first
I need to be perfect
I need to hide who I really am

Sound familiar?

You know that its scolding voice is harmful to you, but you can't will it away. You accept a life with short periods of peace and long stretches of stress and anxiety. But you don't have to.

In this revolutionary new book, Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic, writer and spiritual coach, Neal Allen, examines a critical aspect of the human psyche that often gets ignored - the superego.

Building on Freud's idea that the superego necessarily forms a person's moral conscience, Neal explains how this voice in your head develops in childhood as a survival mechanism, but when no longer needed for protection, camps out in your mind like a personal parasite. A parasite that doesn't belong.

Through simple and engaging exercises and explorations, Neal leads you into meeting, confronting, and ultimately quieting your own inner critic.

By shedding off the burden of the superego, you can overcome tired patterns of reward and punishment, reduce the self-talk that harms you, and ultimately clear an open space for the life you deserve, one that is gentler and more peaceful.

Just imagine...if all that nasty, negative chatter in your head just evaporated ... what would you do next?

Better days are just ahead.

His journey from the stars represents our birth from star stuff, and his romance with the rose on his planet depicts the struggles we have when it comes to forming passionate, enduring relationships.

The Awakened Company is a landmark reflection on business that offers practical examples from companies, communities, and academic authorities who are taking commerce to an awakened level. The depth, scope, and practicality of The Awakened Company sets it apart from other books in the field.

The book's premise is that work isn't separate from life, and the metrics for success in business need to change at a fundamental level if the world is to transcend its present crises. There is another way of doing business, and a shift in our behaviors could in very short order bring prosperity to the entire planet.

The Awakened Company's three pivotal focuses address how businesses can become energizing, sustaining, and regenerating. The book shows how to shift not only some of a company's personnel but entire organizations into an exciting new mode that's creative, sustainable, and responsive.

This book addresses Brother WayneTeasdale's vision of The Interspiritual Age, a vision that parallels the equally well-known and publicized visions of the world's developmental and evolutionary consciousness movements (known therein as coming Integral Age or Age of Evolutionary Consciousness) and the international humanist movement (known therein as the emerging international Ethical Manifold). As such The Coming Interspiritual Age is the first synthesis of interfaith and interspirituality with the popular writings of integral leaders Ken Wilber and Don Beck.

The book includes provocative sections regarding the inherent unity within the world's religious and spiritual understanding (especially their shared mystical understandings), the relationship of these and modern scientific studies of consciousness and brain/mind, the developmental and evolutionary views of history, the inevitable ongoing processes of world globalization and multiculturalism, the emergent understanding of the Divine Feminine, the nature of spiritual experience and the reputed spirit realms, and the various predictions around and surrounding the year 2012. The book concludes with extensive how-to sections regarding the development and practice of interspirituality as it can happen both within the world's current religious traditions as well as in new, creative and entrepreneurial settings worldwide.

The stories of his life with his Master and friends started to flow through her and on to the page. She shared these stories in her meditation teachings, urging the participants when they listened to them to do so mindfully. They loved Bizah and quickly learned the lessons he had to teach them. In time, it became clear the world needed to meet him too.

Please enjoy this collection of fables in the silence of meditation, aloud in gatherings, before or after yoga, or while wrapped in a blanket at bedtime.

Let Bizah remind you of your own innate truth, of the innocence, wisdom, and goodness that exists inside all of us.

When puzzled about what to do in a particular situation, just ask yourself, What would Bizah do?

The Awakened Company comes at a time of crisis in the business world, as evidenced by current world-wide financial instability, which was a cry for help from a bipolar boom-bust business model that's failing. From a mentality of profits first and growth at all cost, those in the know in the business world are coming to the realization this approach is no longer sustainable.

The book's premise is that work isn't separate from life, and the metrics for success in business need to change at a fundamental level if the world is to transcend its present crises, which increasingly threaten us all. There is another way of doing business, and a shift in our behavior could in very short order fuel innovation, open up undreamed of markets, and by so doing bring prosperity to the entire planet.

The Awakened Company adopts the premise that the world's greatest challenges will be solved by people working together in new ways. It is different from other business books in the sense that it blends proven business practices with insight from the wisdom traditions and leaders in business thought in a way that hasn't been done before. An awakened approach calls for a fundamental reset to today's economy, a shift to where businesses will be measured by their state of awareness, not profitability alone.

In a world of economic uncertainty, The Awakened Company gives a roadmap to a new way of doing business -- a way that is humane, fosters innovation, and meets the needs of All stakeholders, including Mother Earth. - Tony Robbins, New York Times #1 Best-Selling Author, Entrepreneur, Philanthopist

This is a must-read for those of us in the organization world-- David Daniels, M.D., Professor Emeritus, Stanford University

What if the Bible is not a book of rules to avoid judgment and condemnation but a book of revelation meant to empower us to do what we came here to do--to thrive, heal, and create?

What if Jesus is trying to tell us that we are miracle workers, just like him? That we have the capacity to heal, transform and manifest anything?

What if the Bible, although written 2000 years ago, is as relevant right now--for us--in modern times?

These are the questions Justin Yarnell, a minister at one of America's biggest megachurches, asked himself when he had a personal awakening to the true messages in the Bible.

He discovered that the Bible is not meant to be dogma or doctrine but rather a mystical code for developing our innate human power. Its messages are designed to actualize the higher consciousness within all of us, to show us how to create our own reality with our imagination and the noble desires of our hearts.

After he had this revelation, Justin left 20 years of mainstream Christian faith behind and found his niche, helping people transition from Church life to authentic spiritual freedom.

He has never looked back.

In Reality Is Negotiable, Justin provides an approachable, condensed overview of the tools necessary to make this journey back to Self. His lessons tie the principles of reality creation to the words of the Bible, shedding light on our misinterpretations while simultaneously casting a fresh perspective that reshapes our understanding of existence.

Refreshing and accessible, Reality Is Negotiable is a book for anyone interested in manifesting their own reality, and especially for those who want to free themselves from the chains of organized religion without abandoning their love for God.

Reality Is Negotiable will provide some food for thought, some condensed milk, if you will, for life and for the soul.
