365 Nirvana Here and Now: Living Every Moment in Enlightenment by Josh Baran (Paperback) $13.97
To order

A TREASURE!,
This book is a treasure! In combining a plethora of views into one simple context, Josh Baran takes a form of pointed concentration (joriki, in Japanese Zen meditation) to an entirely new level and then brings it into everyday consciousness. Like the prescription from an old sage to his frustrated student, "Why climb the mountain when I can bring the mountaintop to you?" 365 Nirvana Here and Now places the seemingly un surmountable at our feet. Having said that, however, 365 Nirvana will rest at my bedside, or maybe in my purse, briefcase, or . . . well, wherever it wants to be in the "here and now!"
Donna Lee Gorrell, author of Perfect Madness

Bringing Yoga to Life : The Everyday Practice of Enlightened Living by Donna Farhi (Author) (Hardcover) $15.37

Counter to the plethora of seven-step solutions and quick-fix formulas offered by so many contemporary self-help guides, the ancient science of Yoga does not pretend to be simple, quick, or easy. It is a practice that takes into account the very messy and often complex phenomenon of what we call a human being and the equally challenging task of everyday living. What Yoga does promise, however, is that through sincere, skillful, and consistent practice, anyone can become peaceful, happy, and free. -- Donna Farhi
