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). • Feature Also available Carefree Clothes for Girls Junko Okawa ISBN 978-1-59030-717-5 $19.95 pb (Canada $24.95) Felting for Baby Saori Yamazaki ISBN 978-1-59030-716-8 $21.95 pb (Canada $26.95) [4] SEPTEMBER MAKE GOOD: CRAFTS + LIFE [5] SEPTEMBER MAKE GOOD: CRAFTS + LIFE Creative Paper Cutting Basic Techniques and Fresh Designs for Stencils, Mobiles, Cards, and More Edited by Shufunotomo T An introduction to a range of paper-cutting techniques complete with contemporary designs and uses for today’s crafter. ▼ Crafts 7 1 8 x 9 ¼, 128 pages ransform a simple sheet of paper into a snowflake, a flower, or a dainty doily—or create an enchanted forest using a modern twist on the traditional technique for making paper dolls that you likely learned as a child.

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. 6 x 9, 224 pages, 1 CD $16.95 paperback original with CD (Canada $19.95) ISBN 978-1-59030-780-9 “The techniques described in this book can make life fuller, more enjoyable, and more productive.”—Andrew Weil, MD Trumpeter On sale September 14, 2010 Foreign rights: Stuart Bernstein (New York) Promotion • Feature campaign to health and alternative health magazines • Online campaign to various “pain management” foundations and associations Les Fehmi, PhD, BCIA-EEG, is director of the Princeton Biofeedback Centre in Princeton, New Jersey.

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.

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.

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.

SEPTEMBER N E W I N H A R D C OV E R The Power of an Open Question Venturing Beyond Conclusions on the Buddhist Path Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel Foreword by Dzigar Kongtrül P 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.

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.

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 Christianity 5 ½ x 8 ½, 256 pages $16.95 paperback original “A spiritual masterpiece, and by far the wisest and most profound book (Canada $19.95) ever written on Mary Magdalene.”—Andrew Harvey, author of Son of ISBN 978-1-59030-495-2 Man and Hope: A Guide to Sacred Action On sale September 14, 2010 Foreign rights: Shambhala Promotion interview campaign pitch to Christian and MBS publications • Advertising in Parabola • Author lecture tour Cynthia Bourgeault is an Episcopal priest who leads lectures, workshops, and retreats across the U.S. She is also the author of Chanting the Psalms, The Wisdom Jesus, and Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening. • Radio • Feature Also available The Wisdom Jesus ISBN 978-1-57062-580-5 $16.95 pb (Canada $21.00) Chanting the Psalms ISBN 978-1-59030-257-6 $24.95 pb (Canada $27.95) [18] SEPTEMBER NOW IN PAPERBACK The Tassajara Bread Book Edward Espe Brown T he Tassajara Bread Book has been a favorite among renowned chefs and novice bakers alike for more than thirty years.

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. Praise for W. A.

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. devi mathieu —from Bridge of Waves William “Allaudin” Mathieu is a composer and musician whose long and colorful career ranges from his early work with the Stan Kenton band to his compositions for the Second City comedy troupe, to his best-selling recordings on the Windham Hill label in the 1980s.

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 and the mind-body connection in Advances: The Journal of Mind-Body Health.

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.

His book will help those seeking personal transformation.”—Publishers Weekly “Lucid, thought-provoking, and illuminating.”—Martha Beck, author of Finding Your Own North Star DECEMBER 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. —From Daring to Trust David Richo, PhD, is a psychotherapist, teacher, and writer who is known for drawing on Buddhist thought, poetry, and Jungian perspectives.

DECEMBER N E W I N H A R D C OV E R 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?). Praise for previous books by Ezra Bayda A well-known meditation teacher explains that true happiness can only be found by dropping our idea about happiness and learning to live fully and fearlessly in the moment. ▼ Buddhism 5 ½ x 8 ½, 160 pages $21.95 hardcover (Canada $25.95) ISBN 978-1-59030-825-7 “Bayda writes with exceptional clarity and simplicity about the awakened life.
