PRAYING WITH POWER
by Jose Luiz Stevens
Explore the many facets of praying, techniques, positions, and more.
From the book …
Good Positions for Praying:
– Shamans in the ancient Toltec tradition stood facing the sun with legs apart and knees bent; the back, shoulders, and head arched far back; face straight up toward the sky; and the arms outstretched to either side, palms facing up.
– Followers of the Japanese Zen Buddhist faith sit on the floor in the lotus or half-lotus position (legs folded underneath the body) with the right hand resting in the left palm, thumbs touching.
– Try lying on your back outdoors facing the sky with your back to the earth. Imagine your body is a seed in your abdomen, then free your mind and let it soar upwards. Pray with an open heart.

A Novel about the History of Philosophy
by Jostein Gaarder
A passionate plea to rediscover our capacity for amazement, Sophie’s World is more than a mere mystery. It is also the first novel to present a complete–and entertaining–history of philosophy.
Long and dense, this novel, a bestseller in the author’s native Norway, offers a summary history of philosophy embedded in a philosophical mystery disguised as a children’s book-but only sophisticated young adults would be remotely interested.
Sophie, a young teenager, meets a philosopher who makes her his apprentice and teaches her the history of the world’s greatest thinkers, and together they discover things about the life they’re living and the world they live in, and must now find how to make the changes they need in order to survive.
Read Sophie’s World and experience a journey through worlds within worlds. [..more..]
