Book Recommendation : The Law of Attraction Made Simple by Jonathan Manske

The Law of Attraction Made Simple: Magnetize Your Heartfelt Desires
The Law of Attraction Made Simple has definitely simplified my life!
I knew about this book for a couple of years, but didn’t buy it, figuring “What else can be said about the law of attraction that hasn’t already been said 10,00 times?” Finally I did, and it was a revelation! I would have to say it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. His explanation that the law of attraction is like gravity at last made the concept concrete to me, and I have used several of his techniques over and over. I especially like the “wonder” concept, the difference between being “committed” to an outcome versus “attached”, and the Grand Canyon technique. The situation I’ve been visualizing has become stronger and stronger, not only in the exercise, but also in real life! Thanks, Jonathan, for this rich source of simple, intriguing methods…

Book Recommendation : Magic of Conflict by Thomas Crum

How to turn the crisis of conflict to an opportunity

“Connectedness is reality. Separation is an illusion. … True strength is flowing energy and a willingness to blend energies. Unlimited strength and power are available to the extent that we let go of tension, fear, and boundaries.”

Conflicts can be disastrous or miraculous says Thomas Crum in the Magic of Conflict, depending on how you react to them. If you feel threatened and try to defend yourself, you will lose even if you win. If you know you will lose, you probably will. If you hope to win and work hard at winning, you MAY just wear yourself out and fall into bitterness and decay. OR you MAY take a leap from the you OR me attitude to the you AND me attitude, says Crum. This is the magic of conflict. That we both care so much that we are willing to talk until we learn from each other. Understanding each other’s concerns, we can see other possibilities, win-win solutions. Through the alchemy of conflict, we can turn the base metal of discouragement and divisiveness into the gold of understanding a new paradigm.

The book is written in a very lucid language and an average literate person can read it and understand the point that Gandhi wanted to convey. Continue reading →

Book Recommendation – Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through The Storm

/ onetusk / Leave a comment

Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through The Storm Renowned Zen master and Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, explores the origins of fear and offers detailed practises on how to deal with its often toxic presence in our lives. Formed by a lifetime of mindfulness in action, he also shows us the path to peace, happiness and freedom that can come out of such explorations. For him, happiness is not found by suppressing our emotions but by purposefully living in a mindfully aware state. Only by practicing mindfulness in this way can we identify the source of pain that is responsible for our fear and anxiety, and cut it off from its roots so that the pain can subside. When we’re not held in the grip of fear, we can truly embrace the gifts of life.
