The Dance of Darkness and Light in Our Search for Awakening

This book is a profound and timely guide that delves into the complex dance of darkness and light within our spiritual journeys.

Through captivating stories of historical and contemporary spiritual figures, Zweig illuminates the transformative potential of spiritual yearning and the dangers when misdirected or exploited by unscrupulous leaders. Her guidance offers a path toward spiritual maturity and a deeper comprehension of the role of shadows in our spiritual evolution. For both spiritual seekers and those grappling with disillusionment, this book is a beacon of wisdom, navigating the complexities of spiritual growth, reclaiming inner authority, and reigniting the flame of longing on the path to genuine spiritual awakening.

CONCENTRATION: A GUIDE TO MENTAL MASTERY

An accessible guide to controlling the mind.

This book has been written to bridge the gap between the many existing theoretical works on mental concentration and meditation, and the general application of the mind’s powers to everyday life. Written in a simple and easily understandable style, Concentration is a classic among books on the art of meditation.

Without the ability to concentrate, our efforts at meditation will result only in going nowhere, in spinning our wheels in an unending rut. Through a series of practical steps, Mouni Sadhu provides the framework of achieving the state of Samadhi. It encourages readers to actively walk the path of spirituality and achieve a state of super consciousness, rather than just passively read about it.

A GUIDE TO CONSCIOUS MENOPAUSE

Passage to Wise Woman

An alternative and unique perspective on our understanding of menopause. This groundbreaking book offers a response to the call of women to listen deeply to the wisdom of their bodies as they go through the change and stages of peri-menopause and menopause. Despite increased awareness of recent years, the overriding response is management and relief of symptoms. However, in this book Reva provides a revolutionary approach to menopause, perceiving this transition as a rite of passage and alchemical process.

Through her own experience Reva acts as a guide in allowing women to connect with their bodies and awareness though contemplation, as well as suggesting practices to support a deepening of women’s exploration of menopause, including yoga, meditation and ritual. Reva instills women with a sense of trust, and wider perspective as they discover more about their bodies, their perceptions, learning from, rather than fearing this time of change.

MALLEA – TIME FOR A YOGA KIT UPGRADE

In an industry that’s one of the worst for pollution, BAM is on a mission to show how a clothing company can be truly responsible, being the kindest possible to people, nature and the planet.

BAM focuses on nature-based fibres. Why? Because bamboo, for example, absorbs five times more carbon than hardwood trees, needs half the land cotton needs to produce the same amount of fibre, doesn’t need irrigation or pesticides and can be transformed into an unbelievably soft, flexible, high-performance fabric.

Mallea is BAM’s new game-changing fabric: a sustainable bamboo modal. A finer yarn and a breathable, lighter weight, it is also supportive and buttery soft, moving with the body and draping beautifully. Best of all, with just 10% elastane, Mallea proves there’s no place for plastic on the yoga mat.

Mallea is available in a wide range of colourful kit including leggings, shorts, a crop top and longline vests. It’s the ultimate yoga kit upgrade.

EBB AND FLOW: CONNECT WITH THE PATTERNS AND POWER OF WATER

Our strength lies in being soft like water. This book is about the power we gain by connecting to water. It’s about how we can restore our relationship with the world’s different bodies of water, and by doing so, restore both the water and ourselves. By sharing Easkey’s own experiences as surfer and marine scientist, as well as those of many of her mentors who are at the forefront of water protection and activism around the world, it guides readers into reimagining the spirituality of water and restoring our innate connection with this lifeblood of the planet.

The book also provides the reader with water-inspired strategies to restore calm, reduce stress and soothe anxiety ranging from simple breathing and visualisation exercises to undertaking a journey from a water source to the ocean in order to forge a deep connection with the water. The emphasis is as much on the benefit to water as it is to the individual, and on creating a culture of reciprocity and care. By regaining this lost connection with water, we learn to develop an empathic connection with the force of all life and in the process restore our own hearts and minds.
