The Japanese word “Ikigai” can be translated as “that, which makes life worth living”. Dedicating our days to what for us is really worth experiencing, to the things that, as soon as we’ve opened our eyes in the morning, fill us with the energy and the enthusiasm we need to face the coming day is the best condition in which to exist.This book is a practical guide. It does not rely on theory, but provides concrete practices that anyone can do, easily and autonomously. Readers will be astonished at how much these experiences will reveal. Selene Calloni Williams, an expert in deep psychology,shamanism and life-coaching, renowned worldover for her energy and clarity, provides a path to develop the awareness needed to make your “Ikigai” come true. For only when we are working at it can we discover what our “Ikigai” truly is. An “Ikigai” cannot just be a vision in our mind, for it is far vaster, deeper, absolute than our heavy mind.One can only live it, and only by living it can one come to know it. Living your “Ikigai” is joy, it’s an inexhaustible source of satisfaction, contentment and fulfilment.
A podomancy manuale. As ancient as the ancient civilizations, Solestry or foot-reading has developed, a bit under-stream, through the centuries, in the shadow of the most famous divinations such as the sisterly palmistry, perhaps because our extremities have often been a source of shame, contempt for their proximity to the villainous land and then, in the end, to become the subject of secret, sinful, fetish desire. The art of reading the foot has been disseminated from ancient Babylon, India, China, driven by the desire, something which man has always held, to understand the secrets of the soul and to anticipate the surprises of fate. It has been fragmented and mixed with reflexotherapymedicines and has reached us rich in stratification and contamination.This streamlined manual, enriched by the author's illustrations, offers readers an original inspiration to begin personal search of the secret correspondence between lines, wrinkles, calluses, shapes of our belovedhated extremities and psychological features, perhaps even catching a bit of a glow of the future.
In this original book the authors accompany the reader on a journey to understanding of the ancient art of Feng shui, a humanistic and philosophical science which due to its practicality can be used to bring harmony to the home, bringing alignment and equilibrium with cosmic and natural vibrations, to promote well-being and bring prosperity to those who live there. Along the way, they demonstrate different ways to use Tibetan bells and essential oils. The vibrations of these traditional instruments are knowingly incorporated in order to create the right harmony for every room in our home. The text contains simple targeted exercises such as, for example, the ancient ritual practice with Tibetan bells that has historically been used to purify homes from negative energies, or techniques to help us learn to feel the vibrations in our homes and thus,consciously, create harmony. Moreover, the authors also outline a series of practical strategies to manage stress, the quality of knowing how to listen, to consciously live with good energy, motivating us to learn to listen in order to knowingly live life with positive energy.

Archetypes are a valuable evolutionary tool that allows us to develop our potential. in fact the journey through the different archetypal figures is a path through our qualities and our characteristics and it is also a unique opportunity to be able to review and also rebalance those aspects which, for one reason or another, we have not been able to express to our best. Thus the journey through the archetypes is a journey through ourselves, that traces our lives and our experiences in search of new meanings. it is a heroic journey, intended to awaken us, to make us open our eyes on something much more real, deep and rich, than what we are used to seeing. This book, through the analysis of twelve archetypal figures (the innocent, the orphan, the Warrior,the Angel, the Seeker, the lover, the Destroyer, the Creator, the ruler, the Magician, the Sage, the Fool) that each one of us will discover within himself/herself, in different proportions, intends to stimulate change, awaken ourselves from the deep sleep in which we are immersed, allowing us to find a new, more authentic reality, along with a completely different view of ourselves. TOPICS• A book for those who are not only happy to live but who also want to grow.• Many self-assessment tests on the presence of the archetype.
In recent years, research on death has made many steps forward: new cases have risen, further inquiries have been made, publications of testimonies of those who have reached the threshold of death and have been emerged to life thanks to modern techniques of reanimation. This book, which represents the only inquiry carried out in Italy on the subject, takes into consideration all available material today, presenting a vast documentation collected in Italy and abroad, compares the case records of the past and takes into consideration even new elements: the experience on the point of death of children, those born blind, those belonging to religions different from ours, those who attempted suicide, oneiric experiences of the dying and more. The causes referred to are distinguished by great harmony and positivism, but one chapter is dedicated also to certain experiences which present elements of an opposite sign, with reflection and comments which make one understand how, in the end, for all there is grace and illumination. Thus, this book represents an anthology of what until now is known about near death experience and can, certainly, contribute to give us a more serene vision on our final destiny.

This book reveals the heart of an ancient spiritual universal and natural revival and healing. This has reached us thanks to the oral transmission of passing down frommaestro to disciple through the centuries, but for the first time in this book the main points are in a written form.All great esoteric paths, the path to self-development and personal growth, psychology of the profound and alchemy, if they are truly effective, are so as they preserve in their heart the extraordinary key of the reabsorption of reality. Freeing oneself of the burden of objective matter, from eventual inevitable events of which one can be nothing more than a victim. The tradition of the Mantra Mother is, for excellence, the tradition that conveys such reabsorption of the real (or “withdrawal of projections”) in the purest and original manner, without superstructures, that have traveled in the circuits of shamanic-tantric yoga and alchemy, in the East as well as in the West, for many centuries.
Focusing was developed more than fifty years ago within the field of humanist psychology by doctor Eugene Gendlin (who worked with Carl Rogers).Focusing means directing the attention to a specific form of “bodily sensation” that summarizes the complexity of everything we experience – the Felt Sense – which contains much more information about ourselves than what is kept in our minds. At a higher level, Focusing allows us to undertake a dialogue with the various aspects ofour personality and to comprehend their deep motivations: in this way energies which were blocked begin to flow again and inner harmony is reestablished. The author has an original perspective on this: “What we call the 'Parts' of our personality actually seem to be intelligent programs that developed over millions of years of evolutionin order to permit the physical body to live and interact on this material plane”. Focusing has enormous potential, much of which yet to be explored, since it reactivates our capacity to access information fields through “feeling-perceiving” rather than understanding. It could be of great support to scientists and researchers in anyhumanistic field since it adds to the understanding of reality an inner perception, or “subjective science”,as Gendlin called it.The text in the appendix, “THE GRACE OF THE STROKE. Encountering trauma and the gifts of listening”, by Roberto Tecchio, is an extraordinary example of how a traumatic event can be experienced in a constructive and integrated manner thanks to Focusing and, as in this case, be transformed into a spiritual experience.
