The Secret of Everlasting Life is the first translation from the Chinese of the second-century "Can Dong Qi" This ancient work, the earliest known text on transformation and immortality, echoes the wisdom and poetry of both the Tao Te Ching and I Ching. "The Can Dong Qi" is also the ancestral text of all Qi Gong exercises in China. This translation reveals for the first time the meditation methods practised for thousands of years by Taoist sages. Presented here with its original Chinese commentaries, the "Can Dong Qi" is full of practical information and advice about the process of human transformation and how to nurture and develop the natural life-energy within us. Richard Bertschinger's additional commentary explains the intricacies of Chinese allegory and symbolism for the Western reader. This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Daoist thought, Chinese philosophy and culture, or Chinese medicine.

Tantric Kali: Secret Practices and Rituals
by Daniel Odier
The mythology, rituals, meditations, and practices used in Tantric worship of the goddess Kali in the tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism
• Reveals the practices of Vamachara, known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti
• Includes a Kali ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra, translated here for the first time
• Presents devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali
According to traditions going back to pre-Vedic times, Kali sprang from the third eye of the Goddess Durga as a destructive and terrifying manifestation of feminine power sent to lay waste to the forces of evil. Throughout India to this day, Kali is worshipped as the destroyer of bondage, capable of liberating her devotee from all rules and subjugation.
In Tantric Kali, Daniel Odier presents the mythology, practices, and rituals of Kali worship in the Tantric Kaula tradition within Kashmiri Shaivism. He reveals the practices of Vamachara, commonly known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti. In this tradition the body itself is Kali’s temple, and it is therefore unnecessary to reject or deny the body to know union with the divine. Instead, nothing is regarded as pure or impure and there is complete freedom from rules. Focused on working directly with forbidden emotions and behaviors, this path allows the seeker to transcend obstacles to liberation through sexual union. According to the Kaula Upanishad, “In your behavior do the opposite to what the norms dictate but remain in consciousness.” This is the essence of Tantra. Kali is absolute reality: manifested as woman intoxicated by desire, she frees the tantric practitioner from all desire except union with the divine.
The author includes an evocative ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra--never before translated into any Western language--containing devotions to the 64 yoginis according to Matsyendranath, founder of the Kaula path. Offering devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali, this empowering book provides practices and teachings for those on the Tantric path to liberation

Speaking through Belinda Womack, who has been a channel for the 12 Archangels for more than 30 years, the Angels explain that the root issue behind our lack of abundance is the fear of not enough. Sharing 64 healing visualizations, the Angels guide you to dissolve the deep subconscious layers of guilt and shame that keep you stuck in a fear-induced lack of wealth and become receptive to the infinite bounty of the Universe. Reading the visualizations from the 12 Archangels, with intention, helps you tap into the singing colors and undiluted love of the Central Sun mirrored in your chakras.

"In this in-depth guide to working with the chakras, author Glen Park draws on her decades of experience as a Chakra Therapist to explain how the chakras can be understood as an embodied map of the psyche, with each chakra representing a different stage of development from infancy and childhood through adulthood, with the Heart Chakra playing a central role in awakening the spiritual potential of the upper chakras. She examines each chakra individually on the physical, psychological, psychic, and spiritual level, as well as through the lens of the solar (masculine) and lunar (feminine) channels. She shows how the connections between the chakras and developmental stages are paralleled in the findings of Western psychology and neuroscience and how our collective expressions of the chakras influence cultural trends in society.

The author’s system of Chakra Therapy integrates healing touch with guided chakra visualizations, offering practical exercises to nourish and balance each chakra so it can be integrated and in harmony with the entire chakra system. She explores how to work with the Heart Chakra for deep transformation and self-healing, including healing emotional wounds from childhood and enabling the psychic and spiritual levels of the Throat and Eye Chakras to develop, with the potential of opening to the divine realm of the Crown Chakra. Sharing case studies from her Chakra Therapy practice, she shows how we gain a richer understanding of ourselves both mentally and physically by working with the chakras, opening ourselves to the potential for deep soul growth and transformation."

"Imagine having an “instruction manual for life”; one that could simultaneously enhance both the everyday practical aspects of your existence as well as the spiritual. What would your life look like then? How would it feel?

Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Kybalion 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master, presents his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. And he does so in a way that is “lovely” and “easier to understand”.

In his work, you’ll discover:

• An answer to each of life's questions, a solution for each dilemma, a healing for each wound.
• How to let life lead, and go with the flow.
• A teaching that helps break through the anger, hardness, and resentment in your heart.
(All that live have suffered. Wouldn’t you like to know how to let go?)
• How to ride the rhythms of life instead of swimming against the tide.
(Can you imagine how much easier this would be?)
• How to understand the Great Mystery in a completely non-denominational way.
• Why you suffer, and how to end it.
(How nice would that be?)
• How to actually enjoy this world for once, and relax into life.
(Hint: Just don’t do this one thing.)
• How to bend but never break.
(Did you know that nature shows us how?)
• The true determinant of survival and happiness, and why it’s not what you think.

What makes this translation different is that it is a modern, simplified interpretation. One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them."

In only 81 brief, truly non-denominational chapters, you’ll discover:

• an answer for each of life’s questions.

• how to find and align your efforts with the Creative Principle of the Universe.
• how to see Spirit in even the most mundane of activities.
• how to find strength in flexibility.
• how to work effortlessly.
• and much, much more ...

Dr. Barnes’ second translation goes a bit deeper than his first, but he was able to express the advanced concepts in a manner that is still modern, practical, direct, and very simple."

"This is a brief manual on using the four bigrams of the I Ching for magical purposes. Though the methods described in this manual have roots in ancient methods, they have been updated to suit a modern context, making use of some of the innovations brought into magic by what is known as Chaos magic. Chinese sorcery modernized itself many times over in its history, making use of newly refined metals and paper upon their invention and incorporating other influences — mainly Indian but also Mongol — when it seemed useful to do so. In this book I have blended both ancient Chinese methods and norms with the more simplified and direct ethos of Chaos magic, creating a hybrid system which, I hope, will prove both interesting and useful to you."
