Turn Toward the Beautiful: Creativity as a Path of Liberation, Hörbuch, Digital, 117min
The play of sunlight through leaves...the songs of the wind...the arc of a brushstroke on paper. To be awake, reflects Jack Kornfield, is to discover the beauty hidden in all things - and to express that beauty ourselves. With Turn Toward the Beautiful, this lyrical writer and teacher inspires us to reclaim our childlike wonder, attuning ourselves to the beauty that often passes us by unnoticed. Then, through insightful verses and stories from many traditions, he invites each of us to nourish the artistic impulse in ourselves - to choose to create as an essential expression of the spiritual life. In two compelling sessions, you will explore: Why beauty and awareness are inseparable and how they enrich each other. Rediscovering the world through our "child's eyes". Presence - an essential component for awakening the artist's gifts of receptivity and wonder. How to use writing, drawing, music, dance, and more to bring insight to others. Practices to spark our own creative expression. What if the light that reveals the truth of our lives were waiting right here before us? For seasoned artists or novices of all spiritual traditions, Turn Toward the Beautiful points to that illumination - the beauty of the world that beckons to be received and shared. Language: English.

The Law of Mind and Its Practical Application , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
Demonstrating the spiritual principle of life is a process of convincing the mentality of an inner and ever-present good, reality is already perfect. God is always God and good is never evil. It is only as we turn, with our whole consciousness to the light that we receive light. It is impossible, while we keep ourselves covered with darkness, for the light to shine on us. Demonstration, which means bringing into our experience some happy thing which we have not heretofore enjoyed, is a conscious act of the mind specifically stating that the presence of the desired good is now felt, known and experienced. Treatment provides a spiritual nucleus in the creative mind and the law produces at the level of our spiritual receptivity to the idea. A treatment or prayer cannot produce beyond our ability to receive. Hence a treatment or a prayer contains, in a subtle way, its own answer. The answer is in a complete abandonment to the idea, the absolute acceptance of it in a spontaneous, normal, natural and happy way. God and the law knows nothing about struggle or unhappiness. God is a happy, a joyous, universal and eternal spirit of absolute perfection. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Wentland.

Meditation to Help You Control Diabetes, Hörbuch, Digital, 75min
Can you really improve blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C by relaxing and meditating? Yes, absolutely, and that's why this recording by psychotherapist and guided imagery pioneer Belleruth Naparstek has been endorsed and distributed by AADE, the American Association of Diabetes Educators. Embedded in this soothing, hypnotic meditation, designed for either Type I or Type II diabetes, are suggestions of the body's receptivity to insulin, whether from an under-utilized, natural supply or from medications, or some combination of both. The physiologically and psychologically sophisticated narrative offers imagery of a steady, balanced digestive process; continuous, on-going organ renewal and repair, and a steady flow of energy and strength, thanks to the healthy, even absorption of nutrients. Other imagery provides extra relaxation and stress relief training for additional stabilization of blood chemistry. There are also suggestions to inspire and motivate self-care and a positive attitude toward the sometimes rigorous and frustrating demands involved in managing diabetes. The exquisite scoring is composed and played by Steven Mark Kohn. Listen to a sample, and see for yourself why this extraordinary guided meditation for diabetes has been such a popular professional and word-of-mouth favorite for years. Better yet, check your blood sugar before and after listening to 10 or 15 minutes of this program, and you'll see that this is an essential addition to your diabetes care toolkit. Language: English.

The King James Bible: The New Testament , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1206min
The creation of the King James Bible was an extraordinary event in literary and religious history. This was a political act of nation-building and it was a great spiritual gift, of "one more exact translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue", this new translation stamped with royal approval. The King James Version of the Bible changed and helped create the modern English language. Just as with Shakespeare, so this magnificent text was planted deep in the English-speaking people’s consciousness, and there it would grow and thrive. We hear its influence in America, in Britain, in Australia. We hear it in India and in Africa. And here we are, at a point of origin and the heart. Oliver Peers’ reading of this classic text is clean, fresh and modern. He asks the listener to hear the King James Version anew - as a contemporary text. Oliver’s stated aim has been that the glory of the language of the King James Version sit perfectly in accord, 400 years on, with easy receptivity to God’s word, just as if we were hearing a friend share a tale with us - and here we have the word of God with all the richness, the beauty and the poetry of the King James Version to delight and enthrall. ungekürzt.

Mother Mary: Inspiring Words from Pope Francis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis encouraged devotion to "Our Lady, Undoer of Knots". On the first day after his election to the papacy, he visited the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome to place flowers on the altar and pray for Mary's help and protection. Since that day he has continued to shine a light on the woman he calls "the first pilgrim" and "the perfect disciple". The writings, homilies, prayers, talks, and even tweets of Pope Francis in this book gather his most important and inspiring words about Mary. For Pope Francis, Mary is an icon of wisdom, strength, courage, and joyful hope. Her unconditional yes to God encourages modern believers to say yes to God's call today. We must turn to Mary often, he says, for she is a mighty intercessor and a faithful companion on our spiritual journey. "Mary is so closely united to Jesus because she received from him the knowledge of the heart, the knowledge of faith, nourished by her experience as a mother and by her close relationship with her Son." (Pope Francis, January 1, 2015) Because Pope Francis highlights Mary's "feminine genius" and her receptivity to divine guidance - something to which believers of many religious traditions aspire - people of many faiths will find nourishment in the Pope's words. ungekürzt.

The Love of a Father: Faith Principles of the Power of a Father's Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
This book is a celebration of a father’s love. Much is written about a mother’s love, but little, if anything, is ever said about a father’s love for his children, except around Father’s Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father’s love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood. Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create “ah-ha” moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like. Through the use of Biblical scriptures, references, and examples, it highlights fathers in the Bible who modeled the love of a father, and challenges men to openly express the love of a father, as modeled in the word of God. It sets a mood of openness and receptivity for a topic not so often discussed and gives permission to the reader to expand his thoughts beyond what he sees to what can be possible. Married and divorced men with children will find the message empowering, versus hearing the usual societal message that a mother’s love is greater. Women with men in their lives who are fathers will better understand a father’s love. For children who do not have a healthy relationship with their father and have judged him not to love or care about them, this book will open their eyes to the ways men show love, and will challenge them to find their own father in that new revelation. ungekürzt.

A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West Approach to Fully Loving Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 848min

The God Conspiracy: The Path from Superstition to Super Consciousness, Hörbuch, Digital, 1270min
Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring series of talks, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. Osho is no atheist by far and not in favor of any "anti-believe" system either. "It is meditation that fulfills your inner being and takes away the vacuum that used to be filled by a great lie, God." In The God Conspiracy, Osho offers a solution beyond Nietzsche - meditation, a direct connection with existence itself. Here, he shows how Zen and meditation allow us to find meaning and significance, creativity, receptivity, and a path to freedom. Zen has no God, but it has a tremendous power to transform our consciousness, to bring so much awareness that committing evil becomes inconceivable. In this series of talks, one of the very last talks in Osho's life, he sums up the message of his life and argues persuasively that transformation cannot be imposed, but must come from one's innermost being and understanding. With the meditations at the end of each talk, into which Osho guides his audience, the listeners are given exquisite experience of meditation, of a let-go and a rebirth. Chapter Titles: Chapter 1: God Is Dead and Man Is Free...for What? Chapter 2: God Is an Insult to Man Chapter 3: God Is Just Like Tomorrow Chapter 4: God Is a Lie Chapter 5: God Is Your Insecurity Chapter 6: God Is the Original Sinner Chapter 7: God Is the Business of the Priest Language: English.
