The New York Times best-selling author and trusted spiritual adviser offers a follow up to his classic Care of the Soul. Something essential is missing from modern life. Many who've turned away from religious institutions - and others who have lived wholly without religion - hunger for more than what contemporary secular life has to offer but are reluctant to follow organized religion's strict and often inflexible path to spirituality. In A Religion of One' s Own, best-selling author and former monk Thomas Moore explores the myriad possibilities of creating a personal spiritual style, either inside or outside formal religion.

The human body evolved to live well and fight off disease on a supply of only a dozen or so essential nutrients. Unfortunately, modern meat-laden, high-sugar diets provide catastrophically inadequate levels of those nutrients. Scientific research consistently indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country, and we spend over a trillion dollars each year on disease care.

Freedom from suffering is not only possible, but the means for achieving it are immediately within our grasp - literally as close to us as our own breath. This is the 2,500-year-old good news contained in the Anapanasati Sutra, the Buddha's teaching on cultivating both tranquility and deep insight through full awareness of breathing. In this book, Larry Rosenberg brings this timeless meditation method to life.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Taurus. Taurus is a sensual fixed earth sign. Its energies are enduring, but can be slow to change and can sometimes get stuck. This meditation will help you get present and cultivate greater acceptance of the here and now.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Gemini. Gemini is a mutable air sign. Its energies are always-alert, inquisitive, and ready to pivot. Busy thoughts, adaptability, and the importance of breath are all inherent to it. This meditation will help you to feel more at ease within your body and mind.

The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen.

The paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can't be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thought or mental projections. Pure consciousness is neither high nor low, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad. No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we always have an immediate access to that inner stillness.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Aquarius. Aquarian energy connects us to possibility. It is a fixed air sign that governs the parts of you that feel both detached from others and connected to the community of our shared humanity. Because these energies can be heady and erratic, they can get fixed on the future, pulling your focus away from the here and now. This meditation will remind you that this is the only moment that requires stewardship. Use this meditation to get centered in the present moment.

While many Westerners still think of yoga as an invigorating series of postures and breathing exercises, these physical practices are only part of a vast and ancient spiritual science. For more than three millennia, yoga sages systematically explored the essential questions of our human existence: What are the root causes of suffering, and how can we achieve freedom and happiness? What would it be like to function at the maximum potential of our minds, bodies, and spirits? What is an optimal human life?

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a highly analytic and discerning mutable earth sign. While analysis is incredibly valuable, it can lead to perfectionism, which can stand in the way of presence and progress. Part of the magic of Virgoian energies is found in ritual and embodiment. Embodied knowledge is awareness that is not just accessed through the mind, but is integrated through the heart and lives within your body. This form of awareness empowers you not just to know something, but to live in alignment with it.

This meditation is designed to complement the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio energies are often misunderstood because of their depth and intensity. Scorpio is a fixed water sign that holds in it the power of creation and destruction. It is the deepest of your inner waters, and within it lives your capacity to hold grudges, to forgive, to experience the transformational power of love, grief and passion. These feelings can be overwhelming at times, but are a powerful part of who you are.
