The first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras--the basic text for classical yoga--are examined in this spiritual guide to the practice of yoga. Foundational to all yogic thought, they are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living that free individuals to take ownership of their lives, direct them toward the fulfillment they seek, and gain the skills to choose attitude, thought, and action. The first five guidelines are referred to as the yamas--a Sanskrit word that translates to restraints--and encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, nonexcess, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are referred to as the niyamas, or observances--purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. A self-study section at the end of each chapter may also be used by instructors for group discussion.

The Yoga Sutras are a collection of ancient directions about the mental and physical benefits of yoga. In their original form they are brief concepts, perfect for remembering in an oral tradition, but which require a teacher's explanation to fully understand. Deborah Adele uses a lifetime of learning and study to bring understanding to these essential yoga concepts. The Sutras explain that the Kleshas create versions of the truth for our minds that are the most appealing. These appealing truths are often false and they create entanglements that prevent us from being truly happy. As we grasp for more appealing truths we only create a cycle of needs and wants that confusingly never satisfy. The physical and mental practices of yoga are designed to break this cycle of dissatisfaction. This book provides the insight needed to understand the Kleshas and guides the reader to simple attainable practices that they can easily add to their yoga routine.

Jay Donnelly

A successful career. Great friends. And now, I'm able to enjoy retirement still in my fifties. But there's something missing.

I'm just about ready to throw in the towel when a night out with friends changes everything. The sexiest damn fire-haired woman I've ever laid eyes on takes care of our table. She awakens something inside me. Something I forgot existed. But I can't get anywhere past friendship.

What will it take to get her to give me her heart?

Tammy Foster

To say I've been through hell is the understatement of the century. After a difficult battle with medical issues, I'm a brand-new woman.

Other battles still plague me though. In particular, the ex-husband who filed for divorce while I was still in the hospital and the parents who abandoned me when I turned eighteen.

Now, this amazing man has come into my life and I'm fighting yet another battle. He has feelings for me, and I feel the same, but I just can't risk another heartbreak. He won't give up and I can feel my walls starting to break down.

Is it time to finally give love another try?

The Infection helped prove that love was stronger than death. Hearts prevailed over the evil plans of Major Hedake. The threat of the zombie infection was ended. Or was it? Following the events of Love and Brains: Infection, the threat of the zombie infection has returned, and on an even larger scale.

Judd

I made a colossal mistake. I actively made a decision I know will destroy the love of my life forever.

There's no way I can tell her. Not without betraying the trust of one of the people I know she holds closest to her heart.

But the decision to keep the secret puts a wedge between us. It's buried so deeply, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to dig it out.

Melissa

He's hiding something. Is he sick of me? Is my family too much for him? Am I too messed up for him to care about me anymore?

He's quiet. He won't even hold me when I shiver. I feel like it's the end, but I don't know what I did. He won't talk to me, so I'll never be able to figure it out.

I love Judd more than anything in the world, but it's obvious to me that we've sailed our course. That realization destroys me, and I'm not sure how I'll survive without him.

The conclusion to the Shooting Star Ranch Series is upon us. Can Judd's and Melissa's love survive? Or is their final goodbye?

In 1923 four friends jumped in a 1917 Model T and began an adventure traveling from Ohio to California. Combined with original pictures and postcards, the journals of this trip look at everything from crossing the Mississippi River, the lakes of Minnesota, the plains of Montana, and the majesty of Yellowstone, to the streets of San Francisco, complete with a cast of fellow travelers they had occasion to meet along the way. Montana Cowboys, school teachers, field hands, and fellow vagabonds make up an eclectic cast detailing life in America in 1923.

This true story takes an authentic look at America in the early 20th Century and how, with an adventurous spirit and a little gumption, you can make the memories of a lifetime. The original Hellbent for California was based on the journal of Sam Doney. This second, expanded edition, includes the journal of Dennis West, who shares this trip with Sam and the others, and provides his own perspective on their adventures.
