RUBY GIBSON
TRUPUL MEU.PĂMÂNTUL MEU. Practica vindecătoare a Arheologiei Somatice
Mii de ani de spiritualitate descarnată, de căutare a Spiritului în afara Corpului au făcut
umanitatea să ignore complet uriaşul potenţial terapeutic şi ontologic al corporalităţii. Ca şi
cum Corpul nu ar fi făcut parte din Creaţie. Ruby Gibson restaurează cunoaşterea ancestrală
şi o toarnă într-o formă în care să poată fi folosită în mod direct pentru vindecare.

JEAN YVES LELOUP

AŞEAZĂ-TE ŞI MERGI. Elogiul călătoriei interioare
A rămâne centrat pe de-o parte, focalizat în interior, mereu în conexiune cu sine, transparent
la influeţele formei, este echivalent cu “şederea”. A te mişca, a merge, a explora pentru a
nu rămâne niciodată prizonierul obişnuinţelor, al mecanismelor de gândire, a rupe mereu
legăturile rigide pe care mentalul tinde să le sudeze, şi în acelaşi timp a rămâne mereu
conectat cu marele flux al vieţii, acesta este “mersul”. Două atitudini complementare în faţa
vieţii, care se îmbină paradoxal pentru cei aflaţi în explorarea de sine

KRISHNA DAS
CÂNTARILE VIEŢII. In căutarea aurului inimii
Cântările Vieţii este o splendidă privire din interior a acelei generaţii care a schimbat, cu
adevărat, lumea, şi fără de care marea transformare de conştiinţă de astăzi nu ar fi fost
posibilă. Puştiul de atunci, aflat în căutarea iubirii spirituale şi a propriului său suflet, străbate
America şi lumea întreagă, într-o aventură a cărei experienţă avea să-l transforme complet.
În India îl întâlneşte pe maestrul iluminat al inimii sale, Maharaj-Ji, care îi deschide porţile
spiritului. Krishna Das se născuse a doua oară.

BROTHER DAVID STEINDL-RAST

ADÂNCIMILE CUVÂNTULUI. Înțelesul ascuns al Crezului
In ultimii cincizeci de ani, sute de mii de oameni au fost atinși de mesajul său care transcende
orice sistem de credințe pentru a coborî adânc, până la izvorul sacru al Ființei, inima, acolo
unde noi suntem cu adevărat creatorii, conștienți sau nu, ai realității pe care o trăim. David
Steindl-Rast este ceea ce în lumea modernă s-ar numi un iluminat, iar marele său har este
acela de a transmite direct, de la inimă la inimă, vibrația subtilă a iubirii, a curajului, a
încrederii și a bucuriei acestei experiențe extraordinare care se numește Umanitate.

VINDECAREA ÎNCEPE IN INTERIOR. Transformă-ți viața prin puterea prezenței
Nu există decât un singur fel de vindecare: aceea care vine din interior şi care presupune o
transformare a conştiinţei. Un alt cuvânt pentru „vindecare” ar putea fi „întregire”. Presupune
a deveni conştienţi de integralitatea Fiinţei noastre. De aceea cheile adevăratei vindecări sunt
întotdeauna la noi înşine. Orice fel de altă vindecare este doar o îmbunătăţire temporară a
sănătăţii, fizice, energetice, emoţionale sau psihice, căci rădăcinile oricărei alterări a acesteia
se află în modul în care ne raportăm la tot ce există.

REVOLUŢIA CONŞTIINŢEI. Noua spiritualitate şi transformarea planetară
Suntem martorii unor timpuri istorice. Planeta trece prin schimbări fundamentale, noi
toţi simţim puternic aceste transformări dar orice schimbare, şi cu atât mai mult una de
conştiinţă, presupune traversarea unei crize majore. Revoluţia conştiinţei este transcrierea
unei captivante discuţii despre provocările vremurilor pe care le trăim, între trei dintre cele

MANDALA FIINŢEI. Drumul către percepţia conştientă
Călătoria pe care ne-o propune Richard Moss este o călătorie spre libertate a propriei noastre
Fiinţe. Este o călătorie care presupune descătuşarea Fiinţei din lanţurile propriilor temeri, ale
sentimentelor auto-limitatoare, o călătorie în cursul căreia intervin înţelegeri profunde, vindecări
spontane şi creativitatea debordantă ce însoţeşte întotdeauna expansiunea conştiinţei.

ALLAN COMBS – MARK HOLLANG

SINCRONICITATE. În spatele evenimentelor se află ţesătura subtilă a destinului
Împreună cu marele fizician cuantic Wolfgang Pauli, Jung a căutat să prezinte coincidenţele
ca pe nişte fenomene care implică psihicul şi materia, ştiinţa şi spiritul, furnizând astfel
explicaţii raţionale pentru evenimente parapsihologice cum ar fi telepatia, precogniţia
şi intuiţia. Cartea de faţă este o incursiune tulburătoare şi uneori şocantă în adâncurile
misterioase ale întâmplării, o investigaţie a însăşi ţesăturii destinului. Este o încercare de a
descifra felul în care ne este alcătuită viaţa.

CĂLĂTORIA ULTIMĂ. Dincolo de frontierele morţii
Această carte este una fundamentală pentru aceia care sunt conştienţi de transformările
de Conştiinţă prin care trece Umanitatea în aceste timpuri. Peste 40 de ani de studiu
experimental cu stările de conştiinţă extinsă, lucrul cu substanţele şi plantele psihedelice
şi cu bolnavii în fază terminală l-au condus pe doctorul Stanislav Grof la o perspectivă clară
asupra misterelor ultime ale existenţei omeneşti. Unul dintre meritele sale uriaşe este acela
de a fi introdus dimensiunea spirituală în psihologia modernă şi de a fi recunoscut natura
spirituală a Conştiinţei şi a întregului Univers cuprins în ea.

SETEA DE ÎNTREGIRE. Uneori ne împinge către droguri sau alcool; cuprinde însă

Setea de întregire este, de fapt, căutarea lui Dumnezeu. Este sentimentul inexprimabil că
aparţinem altui loc, altui spaţiu, altei lumi. Că, aşa cum ne percepem pe noi înşine în acest
moment, ne lipseşte ceva fundamental. Acest sentiment ne urmăreşte pe parcursul întregii
vieţi, de la naştere pînă la moarte.

PSIHOLOGIA TREZIRII. Budismul, psihoterapia şi calea transformării personale
şi spirituale
Psihologia trezirii unifică trei dimensiuni majore ale existenţei umane – personalul,
interpersonalul şi suprapersonalul pe care nici o tradiţie orientală sau occidentală nu le-a
integrat într-un cadru unic de înţelegere şi practică. Novici, teologi şi psihoterapeuţi
deopotrivă vor găsi această carte educativă, transformatoare şi înălţătoare. Welwood nu cere
din partea cititorilor cunoştinţe prealabile în domeniile meditaţiei şi psihoterapiei, reuşind
pe de o parte să-i familiarizeze pe începători cu ambele discipline, iar pe de alta, să dezbată
chestiuni complexe ce se vor dovedi o adevărată provocare pentru profesionişti.

IUBIREA LA TIMPUL PREZENT. Pasi către conșiența relației de cuplu
O carte fundamentală pentru toţi aceia care sunt pe calea iubirii conştiente şi în acelaşi timp
a explorării de sine. În mod aparent paradoxal, relaţia cu sine articulează de fapt modul în
care se aşează iubirea cu celălalt. Este o carte despre Conştienţă în relaţie. A fi conştient
înseamnă a ieşi din rolurile vechi, a nu rămâne încremenit în trecut şi în clişee. Relaţia este o
fiinţă vie, şi pentru a rămâne vie este nevoie de Prezenţă. Iubire conştientă la timpul Prezent.

CELE O MIE DE NUME ALE BUCURIEI. În armonie cu lucrurile așa cum sunt acestea
Viaţa, moartea, iubirea şi împlinirea, abundenţa şi calea spirituală, toate acestea sunt
explorate în profunzime din perspectiva filosofiei perene, pe care Katie Byron a descoperită
singură, în interiorul propriei sale Fiinţe. O carte de o superbă şi adâncă profunzime, de o
înţelepciune iluminată, care nu are nimic teoretic. Este o înţelepciune intrinsecă, nestudiată,
care irupe din poveştile simple de viaţă. Katie Byron, directă şi clară, nu descrie starea de
iluminare a minţii, ci ne permite s-o simţim, s-o privim în acţiune în aşa fel încât acestă
libertate interioară apare accesibilă oricăruia dintre noi. Odată ieşiţi din mecanismele
mentale, redevenim ceea ce am fost dintotdeauna: fiinţe libere, superbe în conştienţa
adevăratei lor naturi de Creatori ai realităţii.

IUBESTE CEEA CE ESTE. Patru întrebări care îți schimbă viaţa
Katie Byron a trăit ceea ce se numeşte o Revelaţie. A putut arunca o privire dincolo de cortina
care ne acoperă adevărata, marea Realitate. După ce a trăit întunecimea depresiei şi a băut
până la fund cupa disperării, într-o bună dimineaţă ea s-a trezit într-o stare de bucurie deplină
şi şi-a dat seama că suferinţa ei a luat sfârşit. Libertatea acelei Revelaţii nu a mai părăsit-o
niciodată. Această carte, Iubeste ceea ce este, cuprinde întregul conţinut al acelei Revelaţii
trăite în mod direct. Katie Byron împărtăşeşte cu noi toţi, într-un fel simplu şi de o superbă
claritate, calea pe care ea parcurs-o de la întuneric spre lumină.

AM NEVOIE DE IUBIREA TA. Să fie oare adevărat ?
Viaţa este relaţie. Ne definim pe noi înşine în funcţie de felul în care ceilalţi ne oglindesc. O
perdea de imagini înşelătoare, de convingeri şi de speculaţii ia locul realităţii. Ego-ul rătăceşte
în nisipurile mişcătoare ale iluziei. Căutăm cu disperare înafara noastră ceea ce ne refuzăm
noi înşine: iubirea, respectul, compasiunea. Ceilalţi nu fac decât să reflecte propriile noastre
temeri, blocaje şi frustrări. Relaţia cu exteriorul nu este decât o reflexie a relaţiei cu noi înşine.
Aveţi în mână o carte excepţională, care depăşeşte cu mult subiectul relaţiei şi al cuplului.

una dintre acele cărţi excepţionale care aduc înţelepciunea perenă, codată în miturile şi

O carte splendidă, o capodoperă mistică, magică și literară, o bijuterie de înțelepciune
metafizică, șlefuită de un adevărat Maestru. Obiectul în sine, cartea făcută din hârtie și
cerneală nu este decât oglindirea în materie tangibilă a trăirii unei stări de conștiință supreme
a umanității. Unii o numesc Christos, alții o numesc Starea Maestrului Interior, alții, pur și
simplu Iubire. Dincolo de orice cuvânt, este o experiență în care devenim conștienți de acea
parte din noi, universală, unică, din care își trag energia toate rolurile pe care le-am jucat
vreodată în această dimensiune încarnată.

ÎNTREBĂRI ŞI RĂSPUNSURI DESPRE MOARTE ȘI A MURI. Un volum însoţitor la
Despre moarte şi a muri
O carte practică, destinată acelora care se confruntă cu o încercare dificilă de acest gen, iar
alături de celelalte cărţi din seria de autor reprezintă cu adevărat o contribuţie importantă
la spulberarea mitului convenţional al morţii şi al vălului de tăcere care-l înconjoară. Căci a
spulbera frica de moarte înseamnă de fapt a recupera adevărata calitate şi bucurie a vieţii. Aşa
cum în aceste vremuri de mari schimbări descoperim că ceea ce suntem este mult mai mult
decât am crezut, tot aşa, nici moartea nu este tocmai ceea ce am fost învăţaţi să credem că
este. Această descoperire ne poate schimba viaţa.

MOARTEA. Stadiul final al evoluției
Ne temem de moarte şi o negăm atât de mult încât nu suntem în stare să-i privim în ochi
pe cei care pleacă, suntem înfricoşaţi să le vorbim şi să-i ascultăm, preferăm să-i minţim că
totul e în regulă chiar şi atunci când cea mai mare eliberare pentru ei ar fi tocmai să vorbească
despre asta. Nu mai ştim să-i îi însoţim pe dragii care pleacă pentru că NOI ne temem de
moarte, neînţelegând-o, fiind prizonierii acestui tabu.

STEPHEN LEVINE
CINE MOARE? O investigaţie asupra vieţii şi morţii conştiente
Această carte se adresează multiplelor aspecte ale procesului morţii cu o înţelegere proaspătă,
candoare şi uşurinţă. Ne invită să ne uităm direct la ceea ce este, cu claritate şi fără judecată.
Dezbracă incredibila melodramă numită moarte de puterea ei înfricoşătoare, înlocuind frica
cu înţelegere calmă, simplă, plină de compasiune.

DESPRE MOARTE ŞI A MURI. Harta marii transformări
O carte ce sparge convenţiile dureroase asupra marii transformări pe care o numim moarte.
Este o carte eliberatoare din toate punctele de vedere, căci pe de-o parte rupe lanţurile tăcerii
şi ale adevărului nerostit aducând pacea aceluia care pleacă, pe de-altă parte, pe aceia care îl
însoţesc, îi eliberează de teama de moarte, redându-i astfel, complet, viața.

DAAN VAN KAMPENHOUT

IMAGINILE SUFLETULUI. Constelaţiile familiale şi şamanismul
O carte care vorbeşte despre legăturile profunde dintre tehnicile șamanice străvechi și
metoda „constelaţiilor familiale”, identificând principiile spirituale comune pe care se
întemeiază aceste două abordări, aparent atât de diferite. Deși provin din tradiții culturale
diferite, cele două tehnici își trag puterea vindecătoare din aceeași cunoaștere adâncă a ființei
omenești, dincolo de barierele arbitrare ale minţii. Amândouă se pot completa şi îmbogăţi
una pe cealaltă cu propriile puncte de vedere, experienţele păstrându-şi în acelaşi timp
calităţile specifice.

EXPERIENȚA AKASICA. Ştiinţa şi câmpul memoriei cosmice
O buna parte din valoarea acestei cărţi este adusă de mărturiile directe ale unor excepţionali
exploratori ai conştiinţei, medici, antropologi, filosofi, scriitori, vindecători, mistici din
diferite tradiţii spirituale, cercetători ai „fenomenelor parapsihice” care nu sunt altceva decât
percepţii ce apar spontan odată cu expansiunea. Toţi aceşti oameni depun mărturie în cartea
lui Laszlo, asupra propriilor experienţe exploratorii ale „câmpului akashic”, aşa cum numeşte
autorul acea realitate subtilă care constituie fundamentul întregii existenţe.

Mitchell sare cu eleganţă peste capcanele limbajului şi face mesajul lui Lao Tzu accesibil

cuvinte, pentru a găsi spiritul în care a fost scris, toate acestea au făcut din cartea lui Mitchell
un Best Seller.

MICHEL ODENT
CEZARIANA. Care este viitorul unei umanităţi născute prin cezariană ?
În secolul ştiinţei şi al tehnologiei, femeile au fost învăţate să abordeze sarcina şi naşterea
ca pe nişte chestiuni pur medicale, ca un soi de boală ce trebuie tratată la medic , câteva
examinări cu nume complicate, o tăietură şi s-a rezolvat! Orice emoţie, orice senzaţie şi
orice trăire au fost eliminate cu eficienţă pentru că, am fost învăţate să credem, că senzaţiile
legate de naştere au de-a face doar cu durerea. O carte care ne redă nouă, femeilor, puterea
şi demnitatea pierdute prea uşor în saloanele maternităţilor. Este o carte care ne reînvie
siguranţa şi încrederea în corpurile noastre, în emoţiile noastre, în natura noastră sensibilă
dar puternică, care ne redă bucuria de a fi femei şi mame.
