The Practice of Presence: Five Paths for Daily Life
Taming Your Inner Tyrant: A Path to Healing Through Dialogues with Oneself.
Discover practical guidance on how to contact your own inner truth from the seminal ideas of five great spiritual paths.
The Practice of Presence: Five Paths for Daily Life, is about making a new start by coming alive to this present moment, wherever we are, without changing our conditions. It is in the present that we will find meaning and heal the wounds caused by hate, violence and the suffering that is an inevitable part of life. By practicing attention to our own presence we can learn to receive in a new way everything that comes toward us -- the demands, the seductions, the possibilities for joy and nurture.
In The Practice of Presence the reader will find practical guidance on how to seek daily what we truly desire behind all the urgencies and obligations of our lives: contact with our own immediate inner truth. The book contains the seminal ideas and experiential activities of five great spiritual paths as seen through the lens of a seeker s experience. T ai Chi, prayer and meditation are well known. The Alexander Technique and Jungian studies are not usually thought of as spiritual, and the Gurdjieff teaching is relatively unknown.
Each of these paths to wholeness is complementary to the others, calling on the body, mind and feeling in unique ways that can lead to a growing integration of all three. The author, Patty de Llosa, has studied all of these paths intensively for many years, while pursuing fulltime activities as a journalist, parent and teacher. Her website is practiceofpresence.com.

Taming Your Inner Tyrant: A Path to Healing through Dialogues with Oneself describes the author's experiences with psychiatrist C. G. Jung's active imagination exercise, in which she dialogued with her intrusive inner critics and gradually found relief from both physical and psychic pain. At the end of each of the 17 chapters she offers experiments the reader can make to discover and dialogue with his or her own personal inner judges. Now that Jung's Red Book has been published, hailed by the New York Times as "the Holy Grail of the Unconscious," there is increasing interest in this mysterious process. Possible markets include psychology, spirituality, New Age, self-help and women's studies. More information is available at www.tamingyourinnertyrant.com.
