On the surface, this is a biography of an accomplished seeker who mastered the practices of yoga and brought a system for understanding the mysteries of body, mind, and spirit to students in the West. But, like the life of Swami Rama, this audiobook offers more than a sequence of astonishing events. As you read the stories of authentic guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had both with his master and with his own students, you will see how the spiritual wisdom is transmitted through generations. This book also serves as a guide to advanced practices of yoga and tantra not commonly understood in modern times.

On some full-moon nights, He dances with Radha and His beautiful girlfriends, the gopis in the rasa lila.

If you need an appendectomy, he can do it with a stone scalpel he fashioned himself. If you have a condition nobody can diagnose - "creeping eruption" perhaps - he can identify what it is and treat it. A baby with hair tourniquet syndrome, a human leg that's washed ashore, a horse with Lyme disease, a narcoleptic falling face-first in the street, a hermit living underground - hardly anything is off-limits for Dr. Timothy J. Lepore. This is the spirited, true story of a colorful, contrarian doctor on the world-famous island of Nantucket.

I interview adventure athletes, artists, yogis, and the person next door. I'm fascinated by how people choose and commit to their passions. I find the stories of how individuals just like you and me have devoted themselves to their practices and the challenges they have met along the way incredibly inspiring. I believe we can gain insight for our own practice and habits by listening to others' stories. I love sharing these conversations of how people connect with, and commit to, what lights them up.

You are invited to join me as I explore and expand my practice of daily meditation and mindfulness. I am using this format as a sort of public journal to help me work through some things (and people) I need to let go of, so that I can move forward into tomorrow without the weight of old relationships or toxic people while also trying to become a more empathetic, caring, and thoughtful person myself. Six days a week I post a short little morning wake up. On Wednesdays we do a morning meditation and sometimes I do longer meditations, or, spill the tea about what an ass my father really is.

Jamie Mustard was born into one of the most influential fringe movements in the 1970s: Scientology. Raised on a mythos of spaceships and made to believe that it was his life’s purpose to help save the world, he was determined to survive—not only unsurvivable neglect but also the impossible physical and psychological gauntlet of extreme poverty and illiteracy. Child X is a dark existential journey into a deepest hole of human existence and the road back.

Born in West Africa in the early 1950s, Somé was kidnapped at age four by a French Jesuit missionary to be trained as a priest, for the next 15 years enduring the harsh regimen of a seminary where his native language and tribal traditions were systematically suppressed. At age 20 he escaped, but when he returned to his Dugara people in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) they rejected him as an outsider. To reconnect with his native culture, Somé underwent a month-long initiation into shamanism.
