T.S.BOOKSHOP NEWSVolume 14 Issue 2 June 2009

We recently created a special edi-tion of the T.S. Bookshop News forthe “Meditate 09 Australian Medi-tation Conference”: we included adefinition of Theosophy, a descrip-tion of the types of things we sell,and a detailed introduction to ourrange of CDs on meditation. Itstruck me that this might be of in-terest to all our readers, so thisnewsletter is based on that one!The T.S. Bookshop is the retailarm of the Melbourne Theosophi-cal Society: you might thereforeask, “what is Theosophy?”“The word Theosophy comes fromthe Greek ‘theosophia’ meaning‘Divine Wisdom’. Theosophy isthe essence of the great religionsand philosophies of the world.The most important principle ofTheosophy is its presentation of aholistic world-view which empha-sises the unity and interconnected-ness of all life, the basic oneness ofall peoples and all species of lifeon earth. Theosophical teachingspoint to a spark in each of us thatis always part of the Divine Life orSource from which all arises, and

affirm that all life is ultimatelyOne. The Theosophical Societydoes not claim to have conclusiveanswers to life’s deeper purpose,but does provide an environmentfor free enquiry and exploration.”At the T.S. Bookshop, we sellbooks and products that supportthis world view: you will findbooks on the world’s great reli-gious traditions, including Bud-

dhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Is-lam, Judaism and Taoism; we havebooks on astrology, tarot, palm-istry and dowsing; we also havebooks on psychic development,dreams, past lives and reincarna-tion. You can find information onalternative health, aromatherapy,Ayurveda, body therapies, ChineseMedicine, crystals, energetic heal-ing, herbs, homoeopathy, martialarts, massage, nutrition and yoga.We have a large range of self-helpand psychology books, includingtitles on relationships, families,men’s and women’s issues, andJungian psychology.

A few words about meditation from our music buyer, Perry HoltMost people are familiar with meditation, and whether for health reasons or a desire to plumb the depths ofone’s self, it is widely practiced. It is prescribed by therapists of various disciplines to assist in healing, orhelping a patient reduce stress levels which can damage our bodies in so many ways. Meditation is used byall sacred traditions as a means for aspirants to get in touch with their inner self: its practice is seen as a vitalpart of the Buddhist, Sufi and Yoga traditions, amongst many others. Put simply in the words of British psy-chologist John H. Clark, “Meditation is a method by which a person concentrates more and more upon lessand less. The aim is to empty the mind while, paradoxically, remaining alert”. He goes on to say, “Normally,if we empty our minds, as we do when we settle down to sleep - for instance, ‘counting sheep’ to narrow ourthoughts - we become lethargic and eventually go to sleep. The paradox of meditation is that it both emptiesthe mind, and at the same time, encourages alertness”.With the advent of recorded media, many meditation instructors and teachers began to record meditationsand make them available so that people could practice at home. Naturally, there are many kinds of medita-tion, to suit the many kinds of people and their needs. Correspondingly, a teacher’s voice may be a comfort-ing balm to one meditator, to another, an irritation, which is why we encourage you to come in and have alisten on headphones before purchasing your meditation CDs. Following is an introduction to the differenttypes of meditation CDs that we stock, and a brief review of the most popular.

Meditation CD Reviews - Part 1

Letting Go ofStress ($31.95) byEmmett Millerand St ev enHalpern was oneof the first, and

still is, a bestselling guided relaxa-tion. This title features the eventones of American mind/spirit/medicine pioneer Emmett Miller,and the gentle keyboard music ofnew- age composer StevenHalpern. There are four practices:Muscle Tension Relaxation, Auto-genic Stress Relief, A Trip to theBeach and Mental and Physical Re-laxation.

Guided MeditationsAs the title suggests these practices areguided, and usually involve visualiza-tions and suggestions. The visualiza-tions can range from simple beachsidewalks to journeys into fantastic realms.Within this category we can includehealing imagery, an area that is con-tinuously expanding as the mind/bodyinteraction is explored. Another com-mon motif used in guided meditationsis that of light. Chakra meditations areincluded within this category: these fo-cus your attention on the various en-ergy centres of your subtle body, andwhile originating from esoteric Yogapractice, they now serve as a kind ofcombined body scan and visualization.Sometimes a period of silence is in-cluded within the meditation. In truth,the fact that these are guided through-out, suggests that rather than beingmeditations they are really visualiza-tion/relaxations as one is always listen-ing/aware of the narration.
