Blocked? A Revolutionary Guide to Getting Unstuck Author Bridgit Dengel Gaspard coined the term “the final eighth” to describe a phenomenon she experienced herself and observed in others: talented, energetic, motivated people accomplish many steps toward a goal (seven-eighths of it) but then are mysteriously stalled. Practical tips and pep talks don’t work because the problem — and the solution — lies deeper. While the conscious, everyday self says, “I want this,” other inner selves worry that success will put them in some kind of danger. The powerful secret? Not every part of you wants what you think you want! The innovative technique of voice dialogue will help you communicate with your alter egos, whatever your goal is. In the process, you’ll discover and liberate inner “wise counselors, canny advisers, and magical sages,” transforming them into valuable allies who’ll help you finally achieve your goals.
Jean-Paul Sartre once declared waterskiing to be “the ideal limit of aquatic sports.” Aaron James, who is both an avid surfer and a professor of philosophy, vigorously disagrees. In these pages, he presents his surfer’s worldview as a foil to Sartre’s, along the way elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms “leisure capitalism.” In developing his unique surfer’s philosophy, he draws from surf culture and lingo—and engages with philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein. In the process, he speaks to those of us in search of personal and social meaning—particularly in our current anxious moment—by way of real, authentic philosophy. In or out of the water.

The Voyage of the Cormorant by Christian Beamish Pdf
Christian Beamish, a former editor at The Surfer’s Journal, envisioned a low-tech, self-reliant exploration for surf along the coast of North America, using primarily clothes and instruments available to his ancestors, and the 18-foot boat he would build by hand in his garage. How the vision met reality – and how the two came to shape each other – places Voyage of the Cormorant in the great American tradition of tales of life at sea, and what it has to teach us.
This is an incredibly inspiring exploration of the sea's role in the wellness of people and the planet, beautifully written by Easkey Britton Ð surfer, scientist and social activist. She offers a powerful female perspective on the sea and surfing, explaining what itÕs like to be a woman in a man's world and how she promoted the sport to women in Iran, surfing while wearing a hijab. She speaks of the undiscussed taboo around entering the water while menstruating Ð and of how she has come to celebrate her own bodily cycles. She has developed her own approach to surfing, which instead of seeking to dominate the waves, works in tune with the natural cycles of her body, the moon and the seasons. In a society that rewards busyness, she believes that understanding the influence of cycles becomes even more important Ð and we all have them, men and women. For Easkey, the sea is a source of mental and physical wellbeing. She explores the mental toughness needed in big-wave surfing, and presents surfing as an embodied mindfulness practice in which we can find flow and connect with the movement of the waves. She stresses the need to recognize the ocean as our most powerful ally when addressing our greatest global challenge: the climate crisis. Above all, EaskeyÕs relationship to the sea has taught her about the need to meet life and evolve with it, rather than seeking to control it. By such wisdom our planet might just survive and thrive.
Life can be a conscious voyage on the sea of dreams, surfing the waves of love. This book is a response to the calling of my soul, who longed to tell her story which might inspire people to open up to live their story according to their own inner wisdom. Our soul keeps us constantly connected to the Source, and you might already have your preferred way of communicating with it. Whether through prayer, meditation, dreaming, or by listening to intuition, body awareness, breath flow, the language of nature, or the magic of synchronicity, everyone has access to their guidance within. We all carry a unique gift we have come here to develop and that makes each being an original work of art. While we live, we are fully responsible for our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual condition. We were born into a specific body and background, potentially aware of how on a deeper level everything is interconnected – at the level of body, soul, humanity, our planet and the universe at large. Creating this book has become a three-year journey of healing, self-acceptance and increasing awareness of the uniqueness of my own journey. Where is the place on Earth where I am supposed to be? I asked myself a few years ago. During that time, my natural desire to grow my awareness on the path to mastery in being myself attracted many kindred spirits who whom we support each other. We enjoy being and living this mystery together. The dream of our soul holds the idea of what it wants to experience and create for ages and across lifetimes. The task of our human self is to open up to this big dream of the soul and allow it to reconcile anything that is not aligned with this great soul’s intent in our current life. Each of us moves within the flow of life as an endless experiment. Collectively, we are on Earth in the middle of a war for our consciousness and energy. The only way out of the chaos is through higher vibrational states of being such as love, peace and joy. It all starts with our thoughts, emotions, words and actions. Let’s not wait for any savior to tell us what to do. Instead, let’s turn inward. To the truth about the light of the Source, which is our essence. Let’s anchor in the awareness that we are love and thus allow our body to radiate it in the form of light outside of us. A few years ago, I had a dream in which I was presented with a list of values that will be fundamental on Earth in the future. I missed humanity among them. Our soul, heart, empathy and humanness, these qualities are now needed more than ever before. As the old structures of the outside world fall apart and we are seemingly constrained by restrictions, we are presented a life chance to immerse ourselves inside and by consciously sailing the endless sea of dreams on the waves of love, to return to our essence, which is crystal clear love. Only when we harmonize within may the outside world change. The game we play here therefore begins and ends inside each of us.
