Great Relief:

Nine Sacred Secrets Your Body Wants You to Know About Freedom, Love, Trust, and the Core Wound of Your Life

By Saniel Bonder

As one reader wrote, “These secrets are so obvious and simple that we complicated human beings keep overlooking them.” Yet they are so profound that they transmit deep spiritual truths as well – without requiring any belief whatsoever. Full of powerful exercises and suggestions for journaling, this book will take you into deep harmony with your own body and its real life, whatever you may have previously thought about “it” and “you.”

“Great Relief does what it says. With deep compassion for the human condition, Saniel Bonder leads us to a greater awareness of our core anxiety, and in so doing lightens our load. The more people who read and digest this book, the better. I personally was quite moved – and relieved. ”
-Peter Russell, author, From Science to God

"This is a wonderful book. It makes me think, feel, relax, and hum with vibrant energy - all at the same time! Reading Saniel Bonder is like having a conversation with someone who's really smart and thinks I'm smart, too. Someone who really cares about me and has a healing message for my heart. Someone who honors complexity and refuses to oversimplify our human predicament into "feel good" messages. It's a great relief that "Great Relief" is as authentic as it is soothing, and as open-minded as it is passionate."
-Raphael Cushnir, author of Unconditional Bliss, Setting Your Heart on Fire, and How Now: 100 Ways to Celebrate the Present Moment

“If you feel something's missing in your life but you can't quite explain it, Great Relief may help you. If you feel uncertain and less than happy and nothing seems to allay your distress, Saniel Bonder's way of clarifying things may be for you. Check it out. What have you got to lose but your confusion, anxiety or unhappiness?”

Healing the Spirit/Matter Split:

An Invitation to Wake Down in Mutuality and Fulfill Your Divinely Human Destiny
By Saniel Bonder

This is a potent book on the essential challenge of 21st century spirituality: uniting transcendental awakeness with full valuation of the Earth, life, the body, and all relationships. Edited by Laurel Airica, these lively conversations reveal the core of this Marin-based teacher's pioneering work since 1992 to help us bring our enlightenment all the way down to Earth – and out into a “divinely human” destiny of awakened service that hundreds of people are now embracing.

“Saniel Bonder has written a masterful work on the core problem we face as human beings trying to realize the Self. The Self we want to realize is Infinite AND Finite. We awaken as both. Saniel points this out the way no man I know has ever done, and his work is so clear, approachable and vulnerably human that I can commend it to anyone. I found Saniel's work to be instrumental in bringing me to the Realization of Self. Read this book, do this work. It DOES produce the results you've been looking for.”
-Jonathan Labman, M.A. in Counseling Psychology

The Second Birth
Bob Valine

In The Second Birth a group of "ordinary" men and women share their journeys of self-discovery and awakening. Each of the thirty-seven selections in the book shares intimately the moment of awakening and the circumstances leading to it. A few are accounts of a lifetime’s searching; others focus on the key elements leading to transformation.

The stories, poems, letters, journal entries, and interview describe a journey of mental, emotional, and spiritual exploration, always mysterious, sometimes harrowing, leading to a Second Birth, a profound personal transformation. There’s a secret to this book: it’s contagious. The Waking Down community has found a way to naturally share a "transmission" or energy of personal evolution and awakening. Sometimes readers will find they are starting to experience transformations simply by reading.

The message in this book is deceptively simple and clear: you can awaken. It’s possible–NOW. Everyday, ordinary people are doing it, and so can you with the guidance of an awakened, loving community.

Paperback, 296 pages, $18.99.  Order this book at www.amazon.com.
