elebrate a loved one with a gift of flowers or add a touch of
color to your home with one of these twenty distinctive
flower arrangements. Keiko Kubo translates the sophisticated
charm of ikebana for today’s homes. With just a few simple materials, and by following her clearly described techniques, you
can create stunning floral arrangements to give as gifts or to
decorate your own living space.
The clean, elegant look of ikebana is well regarded in the
West, but the complicated techniques can be intimidating.
Here, the making of each arrangement is simplified into three
to four basic steps, and each of them can be constructed using
tools and materials easily available to Western readers. The
results are distinctive arrangements that blend the aesthetics
of traditional ikebana with the functionality and portability of
Western floral arts.
Included is a range of tips and techniques that are sure to
broaden the flower arranging skills of both beginners as well
as those already familiar with this craft. Clear step-by-step instructions with photographs are included for each arrangement.
Keiko Kubo grew up in Japan, where she took ikebana classes with her
mother as a teenager and eventually went on to obtain her teaching license for ikebana. After graduating from college, Keiko came to the states
to pursue studies in art and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a master of fine arts in sculpture. While in graduate
school she also studied Western floral art. Her style is a unique blend of
these three major influences: traditional ikebana, Western floral arrangements, and sculptural art. She currently lives in Chicago and is the author
of Keiko’s Ikebana (Tuttle, 2006).

Dissolving Pain
Simple Brain-Training Exercises
for Overcoming Chronic Pain
Les Fehmi and Jim Robbins
F
A leader in the field of
brainwave biofeedback
explains how to overcome
chronic pain with simple
brain-training exercises.
▼
Health
or four decades, Dr. Les Fehmi has been training people to
regulate their own brainwave patterns to improve their
mental, emotional, and physical health. His new book focuses
on the treatment of pain, and it is based on the premise that although pain is perceived to exist in a particular part of the body,
pain actually arises in the brain.
Drawing on existing scientific research and on decades of
clinical experience, he offers brain-training exercises that quiet
the pain signal in the brain. The exercises involve altering the
way we pay attention to pain, cultivating what Fehmi calls
Open-Focus Attention: a relaxed form of awareness that changes
the neural blood flow and increases alpha brainwave activity (associated with reduced stress and beneficial hormonal changes).
These exercises are effective in the treatment of many forms of
pain including back, shoulder, neck, and joint pain; headaches;
muscle pain and tension; and pain from traumatic injury.
Included with the book is a 60-minute CD that guides listeners through the Open-Focus exercises to help them to become
pain free.

Ordinary Recovery
Mindfulness, Addiction, and
the Path of Lifelong Sobriety
William Alexander
Foreword by Kevin Griffin
T
he key to ongoing freedom from alcoholism or any other
kind of addiction is right before us, here and now, in the
ordinary and perfect present moment. The problem is that addictions are often the result of our efforts to escape living in the
present in the first place. Bill Alexander’s unique approach uses
mindfulness, story, and meditation to help alcoholics and others
learn to come back to the present moment and find healing there.
Emerging scientific research suggests that mindfulness (a
nonjudgmental awareness of our moment-to-moment experience) can help prevent addiction relapse. Ordinary Recovery is a
revised edition of Alexander’s book Cool Water, with a new
foreword, a new preface by the author, updates throughout the
book, and a new resources section.
“Bill Alexander gets at the blood and soul of recovery.”—Kevin Griffin,
author of One Breath at a Time
“Unpretentious and profound. Alexander’s book shows readers that
simple awareness itself has the magical power to heal.”—Publishers Weekly
How meditation and mindfulness can help recovering

llen is forty-six, divorced, and having no luck with personal ads when her Chinese girlfriend comes up with a
plan: she has a brother in China, Zhong-hua, who’s lonely too.
Maybe they’d like each other? Taking a leap of faith that most
of us wouldn’t dare, Ellen travels to China to meet him. Though
they speak only a few words of each other’s language, there’s an
unspoken connection between them and they decide to marry.
What follows is a remarkably touching and humorous story
of two people from completely different worlds trying to make
a marriage work. Settling in at Ellen’s ramshackle farmhouse
in upstate New York, they quickly discover the cultural chasm
that lies between them. Ellen and her teenage daughter decide
to adopt a policy of nonjudgment as Zhong-hua lobbies to sell
their refrigerator (“Just three people, no need”), serves them
giant sea slugs for dinner, and brusquely nudges Ellen aside
without an “excuse me” (“Family no need these kind of words”).
Zhong-hua is not the type to offer his wife impromptu smiles
or hugs, but in bed at night he holds her tightly like she’s
“something long lost and precious that might not live until
morning.” The Natural Laws of Good Luck is an unusual and
exquisitely written love story—one that will resonate with
anyone who has ever contemplated with wonder the spaces
that exist between us and those we care about.

Yoga
6 x 9, 256 pages

$24.95 hardcover
he Mirror of Yoga is a detailed overview of the rich teachings and sutras that inform the many schools of yoga.
With great depth and clarity, Richard Freeman describes the
various styles and schools of yoga; explains the Upanishads and
Sankhya philosophy; and discusses the role of the guru, the
practices of chanting and meditation, and the imperative to
serve others. He gives clear explanations of the Yoga Sutra of
Pantanjali, of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga, and of the process and purpose of hatha yoga. All of this is applied to the actual practice, giving the reader the tools to digest and apply this
wealth of information.
Looking back five thousand years to early texts, Freeman
observes how the living roots of yoga philosophy have grown
into many schools, techniques, and philosophies that are united
by a vast, interpenetrating “matrix.” This matrix holds the key
to understanding yoga’s full depth and greater purpose. He
shows that all the styles, traditions, and practices are interconnected and contain each other. Ultimately all forms of yoga are
concerned with freeing us from the never-ending quest of the
ego-mind to reduce everything to theories. The various yoga
disciplines are designed to help us see things as they really are
in the present moment and thereby to give us a direct experience
of the deepest truth about ourselves and the whole of being.

ondering difficult questions leads to powerful insights.
That’s the premise of this intriguing new book by Buddhist
teacher Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel. The difficult questions are
ones like: What causes human suffering? Where is the self?
How do we get beyond “us-and-them” ways of thinking? By
inviting us to be curious about our personal experience and to
trust our insights, she guides us on a spiritually enriching journey of contemplation that could last a lifetime.
Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel speaks with the authority of her
training in traditional Tibetan Buddhism, but her language is
friendly and inviting, and her approach is completely accessible. She teaches all around North America and Europe and will
tour to promote the book in the fall of 2010 and spring and
summer of 2011.

his lucid overview—which has come to be regarded by
many as the best introductory book on Tibetan Buddhism—looks at its subject from the perspective of the three
traditional “vehicles”: the Hinayana, the Mahayana, and the Vajrayana. These divisions are often presented as a historical development, but here Traleg Kyabgon equates them with the
attitudes that we bring to our Buddhist practice. Basic to them
all is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The
primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of
Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice.
Beginning with the most basic teaching of the Four Noble
Truths, Traleg Rinpoche goes on to incorporate the expansive
vision of the bodhisattva path and the transformative vision of
Tantra. The final chapters present the transcendent view of
Mahamudra. Along the way, the author provides vivid definitions of fundamental concepts such as compassion, emptiness,
and Buddha-nature.
With a new look and a foreword from Sogyal Rinpoche, this
book will further establish itself as an essential part of the canon
of Tibetan Buddhist literature.

Discovering the Woman
at the Heart of Christianity
Cynthia Bourgeault
M
The author of The Wisdom
Jesus goes on a quest to
discover the real Mary
Magdalene—and finds
a powerful model for
21st-century Christians.
▼
ary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in
the history of Christianity—yet, if you look in the Bible,
you’ll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did
she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry
evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and
newly discovered texts to see what’s there. She then applies her
own reasoning and intuition, informed by the wisdom of the
ages-old Christian contemplative tradition. What emerges is a
radical view of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’s most important disciple, the one he considered to understand his teaching best.
That teaching was characterized by a nondualistic approach to
the world and by a deep understanding of the value of the feminine. Cynthia shows how an understanding of Mary Magdalene
can revitalize contemporary Christianity, how Christians and
others can, through her, find their way to Jesus’s original teachings and apply them to their modern lives

est-seller Pema Chödrön draws on the Buddhist concept of
shenpa to help us see how certain habits of mind tend to

these patterns, they instantly begin to lose their hold on us and
we can begin to change our lives for the better.
“This path entails uncovering three basic human qualities,”
explains Pema. “They are natural intelligence, natural warmth,
and natural openness. Everyone, everywhere, all over the globe,
has these qualities and can call on them to help themselves and
others.”
This book gives us the insights and practices we can immediately put to use in our lives to awaken these essential qualities. In her friendly and encouraging style, Pema Chödrön
helps us take a bold leap toward a new way of living—one that
will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for
our troubled world.

usic is nothing but a sequence of fleeting vibrations that
arise and subside. Why can something so insubstantial
thrill us, pacify us, or even make us cry? Because, says W. A.
Mathieu, whether it’s a cantata or a blues jag, a harmonica solo
or a symphony, music always reveals the sacred, making a
bridge across the space between us and others, and uniting
mind and heart within us. It’s truly a mystical path, and you
don’t even need to listen that deeply to discover it. Mathieu’s
lively and delightful essays lead you to question what music is,
how it works, and what it’s for. And he shows you how to make
music a spiritual practice, to understand its value in your life
and in the creation of family and community.

Another question, a most perplexing one: What is this tone that we are listening to? It is nothing.
A musical tone has no substance. It is motion through time—but motion of what? The tone that
began as a notion in my mind went through the muscles in my arm to a black key that operated a
series of levers resulting in a felt hammer striking a taut string that agitated the room’s air in a
pattern of waves that found our eardrums and traveled thence through skin and bone to a hidden
liquid which, rippling like a pond in rain, cajoled teeny hair cells growing like reeds in rivers to
transform the sodium ions in their roots into a train of electrical pulses that split apart and regrouped like startled birds and became at last our consciousness of something we can call G sharp,
but which actually has no name complete enough to honor its power.
And the life of that G sharp didn’t stop after it was “over.” It let loose a stream of notes that
had been waiting impatiently for the sluices to open, a stream begun in past ideas and actions and
now racing in a sudden flood toward future oceans. Maybe every action we make does that, but
every action is not G sharp—this G sharp—that I can isolate in space and in time, a G sharp that
feels clear and right, and connects my inside self with yours, and with the other selves listening in
the room, and with the selves we will touch when we leave the room.
We could ask more questions. Why am I doing such a thing as performing an improvisation on
a piano? I have a quick answer. I need to know who I am, and this is my most complete way of
knowing. And as for why are you listening? You need something as well, some connective beauty
we all seem to be longing for.
Now the piece is over. In the quiet moment before applause, the sense of community is palpable.
We’ve been connected, but not necessarily in the same ways to the same places. If there is anything
we can hold on to in music it is perhaps this quiet, infinite instant when we can inhabit our collective
body. In myriad ways, energies have been bridged. The waves have done their special work.

hese Tibetan Buddhist teachings provide instructions for
gathering and harnessing basic life energy. According to
the tradition, a very effective way to do this is to arouse sexual
energy and to direct the essence of that energy toward spiritual
realization. According to the philosophy, sexual energy brings
one naturally and effortlessly into flow with creativity and
awareness in both mind and body—when used skillfully by
committed practitioners with appropriate training.
These ancient texts, attributed to the great Tibetan meditation master Padmasambhava (who practiced sexual union with
the famous Tibetan queen Yeshe Tsogyal), offer traditional
Buddhist teachings on the nature of the elements that all beings and our world are made of. They show us a practical view
of how to use life-energy for personal development. The teachings are for experienced Buddhist practitioners.
Kennard Lipman, PhD, studied for more than twenty years with teachers from all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He received his PhD under
Dr. Herbert Guenther in Far Eastern Studies in 1979. In 1988, he graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San
Francisco. Dr. Lipman has written about Tibetan yoga for Yoga Journal

taught budo for over forty years, addresses the myriad issues,
vagaries, and inconsistencies that arise for students of karatedo, judo, kendo, kenjutsu, aikido, and iaido as their training develops. He examines such questions as:
What is the relationship between the student and
teacher, and what should one expect from the other?

What does rank really mean?

How do you correctly and sensitively practice with
someone less experienced than you?

What does practice look like as one ages?

Why do budo arts put such an emphasis on etiquette?

Lowry also gives practical advice for beginning and advanced students on improving structural integrity in posture
and movement, focusing under stress, stances and preparatory
actions before engaging with an opponent, and recognizing a
good teacher from a bad one.

Rebel Buddha
On the Road to Freedom
Dzogchen Ponlop
zogchen Ponlop presents traditional Buddhist philosophy and practice for Generations X and Y in this refreshing new take on Buddhism for modern times. Each of us has an
inner rebel, he teaches, and that rebel represents our innate
wisdom. The inner rebel is the voice inside that tells us we don’t
have to conform to the materialistic status quo. If we listen to
that voice, we discover the courage to pursue a genuine spiritual life.
The authentic Buddhist path is based on testing for oneself
the wisdom attributed to the Buddha that has been passed
down through the centuries. Dzogchen Ponlop encourages his
readers to do just that: to investigate any presentation of “spiritual truth” and to apply our own reasoning and logic to analyzing it from top to bottom. When we’ve examined what it
means and its implications for us and for others, then we’ll
have the conviction to “live up to it,” and serve humanity with
generosity and compassion.

During the two years and two months he spent there, he began

ere is the core of the Buddha’s teaching in his own words,
as it was memorized word-for-word by his disciples and
written down two hundred years after his death. These selections from the Buddhist scriptures deal with the search for
truth, the way of contemplation, life and death, living in community, and many other topics, serving as an excellent small
introduction to the Buddha’s teaching. Whether addressed to
monks and nuns, householders, outcastes, or thieves, the Buddha’s teachings are characterized by one main concern: conveying the reality of our bondage to suffering—and the supremely
good news that liberation is possible. It is a concern as relevant
for people today as it was for the people of north India a millennium and a half ago.

This haiku epitomizes a moment that we naturally have
or that occurs naturally but that we often hurry or gloss
over. Haiku awareness is a way to tune into this fleeting
moment and merely appreciate what is right in front of
us; in the midst of our daily life activities, the possibility
to slow down, to stop, and then to appreciate naturally
unfolds. For a fleeting moment we simply pause and
note the sunlight on the sheets as we make the bed, note
the warm sun on our cup as we sip tea, or note the fading light on the curtain as we enter the room. And we
let out a breath or sigh. Pausing.

The Tao of Physics
An Exploration of the Parallels between
Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism
35th Anniversary Edition
Fritjof Capra
H
The best-selling classic
(over 870,000 copies sold
in the U.S. and Canada) on
the paradoxes of modern
physics and their relationship to concepts of Eastern
mysticism.
▼
ere is the book that brought the mystical implications of
subatomic physics to popular consciousness for the very
first time—way back in 1975. Many books have been written in
the ensuing years about the connections between quantum theory and the ideas of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism, but Fritjof Capra’s Tao of Physics serves as the foundation on which the
others have been built, and its wisdom has stood the test of time.
Its publication in more than twenty-three languages stands as
testimony to its universal applicability, and its astonishing threeand-a-half decades of strong sales to its enduring significance.
This special edition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of this
early Shambhala best seller that has gone on to become a true
classic. It includes a fresh cover design and a new preface by
the author reflecting on further discoveries and developments
in the years since the book’s original publication.
“Physicists do not need mysticism,” Dr. Capra says, “and
mystics do not need physics, but humanity needs both. “ It’s a
message of timeless importance.

nosticism was a diverse religious movement of the first
millennium c.e. whose followers sought salvation above
all through personal religious experience. Gnostic writings
offer striking perspectives on both early Christian and nonChristian thought. This collection provides fresh translations

an eye to presenting them as literature, with full appreciation of
the aesthetic sense of the original languages of Greek, Latin,
Coptic, and Arabic. Among the works included are new translations of the best-selling Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the
Gospel of Judas—along with many lesser-known texts of profound wisdom and striking beauty.

Meditation in Action
40th anniversary edition
Chögyam Trungpa
Afterword by Samuel Bercholz
I
A concise, classic handbook of Buddhist spiritual
practice from a renowned
Tibetan meditation
master—now in a 40th
anniversary edition with
a new afterword.
▼
n Meditation in Action, Chögyam Trungpa teaches that meditation is based on trying to see what is, rather than trying to
achieve a higher mental or physical state. Trungpa describes
the life of the Buddha, and emphasizes that, like the Buddha, we
must find the truth for ourselves, rather than following someone else’s example. Meditation in action might also be called
“working meditation,” for it is not a retreat from the world.
Rather, it builds the foundation for tremendous compassion,
awareness, and creativity in all aspects of a person’s mind or
behavior.
There are six activities associated with meditation in action:
generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom.
Trungpa transcends the conventional understanding of these
terms, showing how through simple, direct experience, one
can attain real wisdom—the ability to see clearly into situations and to deal with them skillfully, without the self-consciousness connected with ego.
This fortieth anniversary edition features a new afterword
by Samuel Bercholz, founder of Shambhala Publications.

Daring to Trust
Opening Ourselves to Real Love and Intimacy
David Richo
A
The best-selling author
of How to Be an Adult in
ccording to psychotherapist David Richo, all the major
relationship struggles are fundamentally trust issues,
whether it’s fear of commitment, fear of abandonment, communication problems, jealousy, or a tendency to be controlling. In
Daring to Trust, he explores the importance of trust throughout
our emotional lives: how it develops in childhood and how it
becomes an essential aspect of healthy adult relationships.
Richo emphasizes that developing trust in others begins by developing true trust in ourselves—in our feelings, our body, and
in our inner voice—and he offers practical exercises for exploring and enhancing our sense of trust.
Topics include:

N E W I N H A R D C OV E R
Our first life task was to trust. We may have been gratified to notice it was wisely placed. Or we
may have been let down as we found out it was not. When trust happens with our parents or with
any person, we are launched into an assurance that the world and others have what it takes to fulfill
us. Trusting later in life will come easy.
The opposite of trust is not mistrust. It is despair because we have given up on believing that
safety and fulfillment are possible. We have lost our hope in fellow humans. Trusting was our first
need. Perhaps it became our worst fear. In the venture of growing as adults in relationship, it is our
finest risk.
One of the first things we notice when we enter an intimate relationship is that trust is required
if it is to work. If we never learned to trust others to begin with, we will be bewildered and notice
that we are in over our heads. We will feel powerless because we did not make the preparations
required to take a course this complex.
A healthy adult learns to trust himself first. We trust ourselves to receive trustworthiness with
appreciation and to handle untrustworthiness with strength but without retaliation. We shall be
seeing clearly in this book that trust can grow with practice, especially that of choosing to be trustworthy, whether or not others may be.

So what exactly is Buddha nature? It is the sky-like nature of
our mind. Utterly open, free, and limitless, it is fundamentally so simple and so natural that it can never be complicated, corrupted, or stained, so pure that it is beyond even
the concept of purity and impurity. As it is said, “It is simply your flawless, present awareness, cognizant and empty,
naked, and awake.”

T
he quality of presence a therapist or counselor brings to
the therapeutic relationship can make all the difference in
the world in how effective treatment is. But an open, compassionate presence doesn’t just happen. Here, a seasoned psychotherapist shows how therapists—and anyone—can cultivate
the presence of healing by using as their model the Buddhist
figure of the bodhisattva, the archetype of compassionate service. For the growing number of professional counselors interested in meditation and Buddhist concepts, this book provides
ways for integrating those principles and practices into their
work with clients.
Dr. Wegela brings together her years of teaching psychology at the graduate level and practicing psychotherapy with
clients, along with thirty years of meditation experience, to
show just how useful Buddhist principles can be for enhancing
the therapeutic process.

Here is a new approach—balance your mind with your body.
Bo Forbes, a clinical psychologist and yoga instructor, found
that when our body is relaxed and balanced, our emotions also
become in tune. This observation inspired her to introduce a
blend of yoga and relaxation into her psychotherapy practice,
with positive results. The simple yoga practice she developed is
ideal for when we feel stressed out or slightly depressed, though
it is also a helpful tool for people with more serious anxiety or
depression.

Beyond Happiness
The Zen Way to True Contentment
Ezra Bayda
M
any books have been published in recent years on happiness. Zen teacher Ezra Bayda believes that the happiness “boom” has been largely a bust for readers. Why? Because
it’s precisely the pursuit of happiness that keeps us trapped in
cycles of dissatisfaction and suffering.
In Beyond Happiness, Bayda draws on Zen teachings to question our conventional notions about happiness. Most of us seek
happiness in things that are external to us. We imagine that
getting more money, a better relationship, or going on a nice
vacation will finally make us happy. But he shows us that the
deepest and most lasting kind of happiness does not rely on
external circumstances at all. It’s deeper than any kind of passing emotional state or circumstance, and beyond any idea we
have about it.
He offers Zen insights and practices to help readers to tap
into the true sources of lasting happiness: mindfulness, compassion, gratitude, and generosity. Beyond Happiness is loaded
with simple meditation and mindfulness practices that will
help readers to put these insights into action in their daily
lives. Practices include: basic sitting meditation, gratitude
practice, loving-kindness practice, and the Three Questions
(Am I happy right now? What blocks happiness? Can I surrender to
what is?).
