In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us.

Why were Prometheus and Loki envisioned as chained to rocks? What was the Golden Calf? Why are mirrors believed to carry bad luck? How could anyone think that mortals like Perseus, Beowulf, and St. George actually fought dragons, since dragons don't exist? Strange though they sound, however, these "myths" did not begin as fiction.

Sex Up Your Life goes beyond simply giving advice on how to have a better sex life. It’s a deep dive into the unconscious and mostly unspoken realms about the meaning of sexuality within our lives. It offers a continuum of sexual experiences and personal stories that explore the range of expressions from lack of consent, to sexual exploitation, and into realms of play, the heart, and our spirit. At each point along this continuum, the listener is asked to explore within their experiences and beliefs around the topic.

Accessing mindfulness is a therapeutic touchstone for a range of emotional issues, from mild distress to the treatment of trauma, but the term mindfulness has often left Christians wary. Stripped of Christlike spirituality, it sounds self-focused at best, and at worst like a fusion with modern pop-religions of the day. But the quality of mindfulness - of being fully present, aware of ourselves and our situation so that we can better respond to the chaos around us - is a profoundly biblical concept. And it can be used effectively by Christian counselors and healing practitioners.

Se puede decir que el tema central de este libro es pasar del cuerpo a la mente, o de la forma al contenido, una cuestión de la que se habla abundantemente en Un curso de milagros. El ego se preserva a sí mismo haciendo que nos identifiquemos con lo externo, o con la forma, a expensas del contenido de la mente. En el contexto de este libro, el ingenio del ego hace que nos concentremos en los síntomas externos de la enfermedad y en su mejoría.

Testosterone propels our drive for exploration and risk, for competition and creation, and even our survival. The effects of testosterone permeate the traditions, philosophy, and literature of every known culture - without it, the world would be a drastically different place. It also has a role in humanity's darker side, contributing to violence, hubris, poverty, crime, and selfishness. Recent revelations of the science of testosterone show that high levels will deplete compassion and generosity, and even reduce the affection we show our children.
