Messages from Your Animal Companion
55 Card Oracle DeckIf you're a pet owner—or owned by a pet—you're more than likely aware of at least some of the vast landscape of activity that goes on in the hearts and minds of domestic animals. You know when your pet is happy and when it's sad, when it wants to play and when it wants to sleep. And, depending on your animal's temperament, you may have a pretty good idea of some of the other thoughts and feelings it's entertaining at any given moment.
But what if you could find a way to receive more precise communication from your animal friends? That's what this deck is all about. With the help of artist Pamela Becker, Angelica del Mar has created 55 cards to keep you up-to-the-minute on your pet's musings, desires, worries and needs.
Of course, the real magic lies in your ability to tune in to your heart so that your intuition leads you to draw the right card or cards at any given moment. But don't worry—the deck comes with instructions to assist you in doing this.
This is a beautiful deck of cards, with insightful messages to cover just about anything that might be on an animal's mind. My experience has shown me that any openhearted person can benefit from the use of such a deck, and in this case your animal will benefit, too! A thoughtful holiday gift for your pet-owner and pet-owned friends. —Chiwah
The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita
An Introduction to India's Universal Science of God-RealizationThe Bhagavad Gita , one of the oldest and most highly revered of all Indian spiritual texts, tells of a legendary battle between two armies and of Krishna's advice to Arjuna, the young soldier caught in the middle.
Probably most of us have opened it, maybe read it—and if we've taken part in conversations or study groups, it's likely they have revealed that not everyone gets the same message from it. This is because the Gita offers itself on different levels to different readers.
The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita is a gorgeous volume designed to offer some clarification on the subject. Bringing together selections from God Talks with Arjuna, Yogananda's in-depth two-volume translation and commentary on the Gita, it makes it clear that the battle is between the forces of good and evil and that what Arjuna is learning is that it is possible to achieve material and spiritual victory on the battlefield of daily life by applying the deep wisdom of yoga.
“We came from God and our ultimate destiny is to return to Him,” Paramahansa Yogananda tells us, “The end and the means to the end is Yoga, the timeless science of God-union.” At a time when the world around us appears to leave little room for anything but focus on the material, I find this book a welcome arrival in my life. Along with its companion volume,
The Yoga of Jesus, it provides a much-needed port in the storm for readers of a wide range of backgrounds who are still looking for a way in.
