THE SECRET OF THE YOGA SUTRA:
Samadhi Pada

THE SECRET OF THE YOGA SUTRA:
Samadhi Pada
by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD
Himalayan Press

The Yoga Sutra is the living source wisdom of the Yoga tradition. Using it as a guide, we can unlock the hidden power of Yoga and experience the promise of Yoga in our life. The Yoga Sutra is as fresh today as it was 2,200 years ago when it was compiled by the sage Patanjali. By applying its living wisdom in our practice, we can achieve the purpose of life – lasting fulfillment and ultimate freedom.

The Secret of the Yoga Sutra: Samadhi Pada shares the essence of Pandit Tigunait’s rigorous scholarly understanding of the Yoga Sutra through the filter of experiential knowledge gained through decades of advanced yogic practices and enriched by the gift of living wisdom he received from the masters of the Himalayan Tradition.

BLUE MARBLE SANDCASTLE,
The Adventure of a Restless Warrior

by Barbara Centrella
Publication – Sirri

In the Blue Marble Sandcastle, Barbara Centrella has captured, with great acuity, the universal struggle of man vs. himself. Though a seemingly complex and heady matter, Centrella has managed to illustrate with grace and ease the challenges each one of us will face, and the rewards we will reap, as we embark upon our heart’s journey. That is, if we are brave enough to do so. Filled with numerous life lessons and gentle reminders from which both children and adults will benefit, Centrella has crafted a relatable character and world of possibility and promise that intrigues and inspires.

In essence, Blue Marble Sandcastle is an invitation to awaken our natural and innate curiosity, joy, and divine purpose. It is a gift that all children – young and old –should be given and reminded of, and Centrella does a beautiful job of doing so.

THE FIVE AGREEMENTS GAME
by Olivier Clerc, Marc Kucharz and Brandt MorganTHE FIVE AGREEMENTS GAME
by Olivier Clerc, Marc Kucharz and Brandt Morgan
Findhorn Press

Our relationships can be our greatest source of joy and present some of the biggest challenges in our lives. What if a simple game of cards, played with like-minded friends, could open up new ways of seeing those challenging relationships? It would have to be a special kind of game, since competition can often exacerbate difficult relationships.

Enter The Five Agreements Game, a fun-filled adventure game in which every participant is a winner. Utilizing the work of shamanic teacher and healer don Miguel Ruiz and his son, this game promises to transform your relationships with others and yourself and radically improve your attitude toward life. The Five Agreements, around which Ruiz’s work is based, expose our self-limiting beliefs and present a simple yet effective code of conduct for life learned from Toltec ancestors. This game makes use of the alchemical power of the agreements in a revelatory way.

All players become “warriors” on the Toltec path, and the metaphor of “chivalry” runs throughout. A sword, shield, motto and quest represent the Four Agreements and the inner accomplishments of the intrepid “knight.” The apprehension felt when first picking a card from the relationship stack is soon replaced with the joy of insight and the “aha!” moments that follow. Participants are known to laugh and even cry as they become increasingly selfaware and ready to face the challenge of “slaying the dragon” that lies within the psyche.

Everyone is a winner, and ALL participants leave the table with a gift – the keys to transforming their relationships and their life. The game comes with an 80-page explanatory booklet, rules, a notepad, 25 relationship cards, 5 agreement cards, 25 prize cards and 25 bonus gift agreement cards.
