Mind Training: Ravinder Taylor

Embody the powerful, passionate, fiery energy that is the authentic expression of you. Love beyond external circumstances, live fully in the present moment, and fully embody the spark that is you, letting it shine the way for generations to come. Life is inviting us to stop focusing on everything that is going on outside of us, to stop believing the fear narrative, and to let go of all the things that distract us from cultivating the resilience, joy, and grit it takes to live a bold, beautiful, and deeply meaningful life. We can let go of the focus on the outer world dictating our sense of well-being. The point of power is in the present moment. You get to choose what you want to focus on. This is an inside job and the time to begin is now. It is time to become fierce.

Learn how this presence of love can become your constant companion on one of the greatest of all life journeys, whether you are dying, taking care of the dying, or want to prepare for your death whenever that may come.

You will encounter humor, sadness, joy, grief, angel prayers, and words of wisdom from beyond death. The life-death journey calls each one of us, and this book answers that call.

We know that exercising regularly will bring numerous benefits, from improved health and wellness to enhanced creativity, but most do not know that training the mind will bring a host of benefits too.

Having an awareness of the ‘whys’ behind some of our behaviors will reduce many of the self-destructive patterns that all of us are subject to in certain areas of our lives. Understanding some of our brain chemistry mechanisms allows us to take some manual control to increase our successes and overall feelings of well-being. Discovering some of the automatic mind mechanisms makes it possible to offset the ability for others to exploit them.

Manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic phooey. Now, James R. Doty, MD—a Stanford neurosurgeon, New York Times bestselling author, and Dalai Lama collaborator—reveals that manifestation is rooted in science. Throughout his latest book, Mind Magic (Avery; on sale: May 7, 2024), Dr. Doty unveils his six-part plan for harnessing your mind’s power to change your brain structure and reclaim your agency. He grounds you in practices for neurological transformation by strategically targeting your attention, desires, obstacles, intention, passion, and expectations, so you can consciously create the life you want. In addition to his medical expertise, Dr. Doty has the lived experience of using manifestation to revamp his reality. After he went from rags to riches back to rags, Dr. Doty overhauled his thinking to focus on being spiritually and morally centered. In turn, the riches stayed for the long haul.
