Описание: Jung and the Alchemical Imagination illustrates the spiritual nature of Jungian psychology and the debt it owes to the tradition of esoteric religion. Unlike other books on Jung and alchemy which contain a psychological interpretation of alchemical material, this work uses alchemy to understand the three cornerstones of Jungian spirituality--the self, the transcendent function, and active imagination. Through the interpretation of alchemical imagery, Raff explains the nature of these three concepts and illustrates how together they form a new model of contemporary Western spirituality. This book is also unique in selecting alchemical texts for analysis that are relatively unknown and which, for the most part, have never been interpreted. In addition, he presents two new concepts--the ally and the psychoid realm. Through the addition of these ideas, and the new understanding that they offer, it is possible to apply alchemical imagery to transpsychic experience/ that is, to a world of spirits which may not be reduced to psychological concepts. By including this realm in the study of alchemy and Jungian thought, it is possible to gain insights into the nature of visionary and ecstatic experiences that form part of the path of individuation--the road to completion.
Intelligent, thought-provoking and delightfully candid, Towards a Soulful Sexuality: new perspectives of sex, age & menopause for woman 35 to 60 plus by Adele Gruber separates fact from fiction in regards to a woman's sexuality after menopause. With startling insights and meticulous documentation, this bold proposal proves to be a fascinating and celebratory examination of what it should mean to be an older woman in the twenty-first century. A truly revolutionary book that brilliantly distils history, anatomy, sexology, psychology and even quantum physics into remarkable and powerful suggestions to prompt adult women to reexamine the nature of sex, love and spirituality. Comprised of a manifesto, a healing workbook and a self-assessment questionnaire, the journey begins with a thorough history of female sexual anatomy and the timeless misconceptions of menopause and old age. Incorporating three condensed histories full of intriguing facts, the author dissects dichotomies of menopause and stereotypes of ageing women to supplant past perceptions of ageing women with a new bias towards modern Western sexology and Eastern esoteric secrets. Next, she outlines the essential nature of sex from the physical to the metaphysical to challenge readers' core beliefs about body, mind, spirit and sex. Additionally, the healing workbook, "Working with your Sexuality", is a personal program of reflections, memories, exercises and meditations to enable readers to better understand their own personal patterns and history around the issues raised in the text.
In this riveting and candid memoir, "Vera Jo opens up her world to us in a vulnerable yet captivating way that elicits every thought and emotion from the reader; it's relatable, heart-wrenching, surprising, funny, challenging and encouraging," said Ronald Nored, NBA assistant coach of the Charlotte Hornets.
At twenty-two, six thousand miles separated her from her comfort zone, but Vera Jo Bustos signed a contract to play professional basketball in Greece. So, she said goodbye to what she knew and plunged headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime. A Mindful Journey gives the reader a first-hand experience of Greece and its culture. With humility and humor, Vera Jo tells a story of resilience powered by connection to others. She takes us with her as she discovers the honest and sometimes brutal truth of the struggles of learning a foreign language, the obstacles of self-doubt, homesickness and loneliness, and the heartache and heartbreak that accompanies constant defeat.She learns that defeat is not a dead end. It's a detour to what really matters-what's most important in life. She unearths who she truly is, and most important, who she's about to become.
The practical training Vera Jo used to hone her mental skills alongside her physical skills and life wisdom are interwoven throughout the pages. With the nuggets shared throughout the book of mental toughness, wisdom, and resilience, the reader is compelled-and challenged-to go on "a mindful journey" of their own.
