From the co-founder of the Jivamukti

yoga method, this book is a simple guide

to developing your own individualised

daily spiritual practice for greater peace

and wellbeing. The Magic Ten And Beyond

incorporates yoga poses and practices,

meditation, blessings and other spiritual

practices to help the reader begin their day

in a positive and life-affirming place. Includes

how-to instructions on ten simple yoga poses

for health and flexibility, as well as guidance

on meditation, blessings and awareness

exercises. An essential guidebook to help

readers infuse their day with greater focus,

compassion and joyfulness.

Heartfulness is a unique, accessible practice

that awakens us to the wisdom and inspiration

that comes from the heart and transforms

us from within. In this book, student of

Heartfulness Joshua Pollock is in conversation

with his teacher Kamlesh D Patel, affectionately

known as Daaji. Based on Daaji’s own

approaches and practices for the modern

spiritual seeker we find a contemporised

version of the ancient Indian practice of Raja

Yoga, a tradition that enables the practitioner

to realise the divine self within. This book

provides a pragmatic course to experience

refined states of consciousness, enlightenment,

and connection to a higher self.

This is a book about all the unwanted and

unexpected moments in our lives. They

surprise us, they blindside us. They shock us.

These moments are collision points between

life as we perceive it and life as it actually is –

these are lifeshocks. In this book, the author

explains how these lifeshocks can actually

awaken us by challenging us to see what we

are missing – not just through significant,

life-changing events like bereavement,

divorce, redundancy or abuse, but through

the unexpected moments of our daily lives.

Ultimately, she shows how these lifeshocks

can bring healing, transformation and peace if

only we knew how to decipher their messages.
