Many men come to a point in life where they feel a sense of emptiness or lack of motivation. This state may be confused for depression, but David Deida reveals a vital distinction, inspiring a new possibility for discernment and action. When a man grows tired of his life, what can be done?Beyond the basic man who wants to win and be pleasured, or the superior man who wants to achieve mastery and serve the world, there is a state of being known as the “Man of Zero.” Even if your life is filled with love and success, you may end up feeling dissatisfied. When you don’t want to do anything and life feels meaningless, what’s the next step? Zero motivation can be a portal to a deeper way of living. The Man of Zero shows a way to relax through the doorway of emptiness into a freedom more powerful than sex and more boundless than success.Written in short chapters of pith instructions that evoke immediate insight and experience, Deida shows how to live your life while resting as Zero—being effortlessly present, aware, and complete without the need for striving. Relax into primal power. Ease into drama-free sex. Liberate creative flow. Remember how to live as The Man of Zero.

You’ll find a variety of exercises to support your own learning style, as well as QR codes that point to guided audio practices to further bolster your journey.IFS has proven to be a revolutionary tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, disordered eating, relationships, and more.

The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening—seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein’s source teaching is the Satipa??hana Sutta, the Buddha’s legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of:• Mindfulness of body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics• Mindfulness of feelings—how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds• Mindfulness of mind—learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought• Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, and the Seven Factors of Awakening"There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.

When it comes to sex, most of us want more. The question is: more of what? According to David Deida, when the depth of intimacy you've been experiencing is no longer fulfilling to your heart and body—when you sense that sexuality should go far beyond an embrace of brief satisfaction—the time has come to explore your unique sexual path to the divine. In Finding God Through Sex, this brilliant writer and internationally renowned expert on spiritual sexuality presents a revolutionary new way to love—one in which sex literally becomes an erotic act of devotional surrender, "making love, magnifying love, from the boundless depth of your heart through every inch of your body and in merger with your lover."Through provocative vignettes that illuminate the many moods that color lovemaking, and direct instruction that speaks honestly to the masculine and feminine desires within each of us, Deida brings wisdom gained from 30 years' work with thousands of couples to illustrate the distinct yet complementary avenues men and women can skillfully travel toward untamed passion and sacred unity. What unfolds is an unparalleled road map to the place where we "love as the cosmos loves: One loving itself as an other, yet remembering itself as One."

How traumatic events can break our vital connections—and how to restore love, wholeness, and resiliency in your life.From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. And in the wake of a traumatic event—such as a car accident, severe illness, loss of a loved one, or experience of abuse—that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next.In The Power of Attachment, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, a pioneer in attachment theory and trauma resolution, shows how overwhelming experiences can disrupt our most important connections— with the parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us, and with others.The good news is that we can restore and reconnect at all levels, regardless of our past.Here, you’ll learn key insights and practices to help you:• Restore the broken connections caused by trauma• Get embodied and grounded in your body• Integrate the parts of yourself that feel wounded and fragmented• Emerge from grief, fear, and powerlessness to regain strength, joy, and resiliency• Reclaim access to your inner resources and spiritual nature"We are fundamentally designed to heal," teaches Dr. Heller. "Even if our childhood is less than ideal, our secure attachment system is biologically programmed in us, and our job is to simply find out what’s interfering with it—and learn what we can do to make those secure tendencies more dominant."With expertise drawn from Dr. Heller’s research, clinical work, and training programs, this book invites you to begin that journey back to wholeness.

It's always here. You can go out right now and kiss the earth.”

"Wild Nights cuts through the illusions of modern spirituality into the depth of life before God. Impure, soaked with all bodily liquids, pierced by clear recognition of death, wide opened with the power of love—living as love—in any moment of daily life. If you do not choose to be a hermit, if you want to practice awakening within relationships, in the realm where sex and death are such powerful momentums—you'd better read this book, and not only once."—Rabbi Ohad Ezrahi, author of Paths of EmpowermentMeet Mykonos, both scurrilous madman and the voice of truth. Wild Nights presents David Deida's remarkable account of his days with the unconventional teacher who revealed to him the deeper wisdom of the erotic path to the divine.From our very first encounter to the "burden of bliss" that is his parting gift, Mykonos challenges our understanding of what makes a spiritual life. Brutally candid, he offers his teaching to anyone ready to listen, with an uncanny ability to see into the hearts and minds of his students better than they can their own. Charged with provocative scenes of unbridled passion and play, Wild Nights explodes with spiritual insights into our choice to "open as love, or close and suffer"; yogic sexual techniques including circular breathing and expanding feeling beyond the self and into the heart of a lover; and why, for some, full sexual expression is a requirement of spiritual maturation.For its honest depiction of the spiritual teacher and student relationship—and the questions it demands we ask about our own sexuality—Wild Nights proclaims David Deida a guiding light in the often cloudy realm of sex and spirit.

What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? "Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain," says Judith Orloff, MD.

Is healing a matter of solving a problem, curing a sickness, or making our wounds disappear? “In my experience,” writes depth psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher Matt Licata, “true healing is not a state where we become liberated from uncomfortable feelings, but one in which we are free and flexible to welcome our complete experience - whether happy or difficult - more fully.” With A Healing Space, Dr. Licata invites us to explore a more vital sense of wellness - one that does not put us in opposition to life’s hardship, but instead welcomes all experience as part of the soul’s majestic vastness.“While there is a part of us that very genuinely wishes to heal, awaken, and transform,” writes Dr. Licata, “there is a lesser known, hidden part invested in maintaining things the way they are.” Through metaphors and teachings from diverse traditions such as alchemy, neuroscience, mindfulness, contemplative spirituality, Buddhism, and depth psychology, he illuminates the spiritual journey with profound subtlety and deep insight. If you’ve found yourself wondering why years or even decades of self-improvement, meditation, prayer, or therapy hasn’t resulted in a feeling of wholeness or completeness, you may be ready to enter A Healing Space.

For almost two millennia, the story of Jesus has shaped the lives of countless people. Yet today, even though the majority of us grew up in a culture suffused by the mythos of Jesus, many of us feel disconnected from the essence of his teachings. With Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti invites us to rediscover the life and words of Jesus as a direct path to the most radical of transformations: spiritual awakening.Jesus crossed all of the boundaries that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. In Resurrecting Jesus, Adya embarks on a fascinating reconsideration of the man known as Jesus, examining his life from birth to Resurrection to reveal a timeless model of awakening and enlightened engagement with the world. Through close consideration of the archetypal figures and events of the Gospels, Adya issues a call to "live the Christ" in a way that is unique to each of us."When the eternal and the human meet," writes Adya, "that’s where love is born—not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union." Resurrecting Jesus is a book for realizing this union in your own life, with heart and mind wide open to the mystery inside us all.With an all-new foreword by Episcopalian priest and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault.

Life can often feel like a distraction, dividing us not only from others but also from ourselves. Yet even within the cacophony of life, deep down you can intuit your own soul, that part of you that knows you better than you know yourself, and that offers moments of solace.Our disconnect from this inner source of guidance leads to self-doubt, but bestselling author and Jungian analyst James Hollis provides a reminder that we carry within what we’re so anxiously looking for from a crazed world. “Behind the noise and beneath the surface, something in the soul of each of us cries out,” says Hollis. “While we may be distracted from this summons, the soul keeps asking that we pay attention.” These summons come to us through symptoms, dreams, and restless nights. Here, Hollis reveals tools we can utilise to engage in a conversation with the soul.In this collection of essays, Hollis helps us to reflect deeply on questions that explore and celebrate life's challenges in our evolving world, including how happiness is attained, how to approach our dreams, the divided soul of America, our fear and fascination with death, and the conflict between good and evil. Using analytic psychology as a vehicle for the recovery of a spiritual life in a secular age, you’ll find inspiration for reconnecting with deep wisdom, bringing renewed purpose and dignity to this mysterious journey called life.
