Recharge the Powernap

Sinopse

Recharge The Powernap
For millennia, cultures across the globe have cherished the restorative power of the afternoon siesta. This time-honored ritual of stealing a brief respite in the middle of the day dates to the ancient Egyptians, who sought refuge from the sweltering heat on cool stone pillows as early as 1500 BC. The Greeks and Romans also heartily embraced the nap, with luminaries like Aristotle and Plato extolling the virtues of a post-lunch slumber. Beds and couches were even expressly designed for languid lounging.

As civilization marched forward, the nap stayed a steadfast companion. Pious monks napped according to strict schedules in the Middle Ages, while wealthy nobles followed suit, indulging in sumptuous feasts and lengthy siestas. From the sun-dappled streets of Spain to the rolling hills of Italy to the bustling markets of China, the nap was woven into the very fabric of daily life.

In Spain, the sobremesa reigns supreme, a languorous affair stretching from 2-4pm. Italians treasure their riposo as a hallmark of civility and key to proper digestion. Greek workers have even enshrined the right to nap in their employment contracts! Across Latin America, entire families retreat home for comida and 2-3-hour siesta. And in China and Japan, a quick post-lunch snooze is seen as essential nourishment for the mind and soul.

Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous...

Jude Barnes

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
This audiobook presents the complete, unabridged 1955 Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous—including the full basic text (pages 1–164) —line by line, alongside modern commentary designed to help any listener understand and apply the Twelve Steps. The original Big Book text is in the public domain, and this is a zero-profit project for the author.
The commentary never rewrites or modernises the Big Book. Instead, it follows each paragraph closely, offering clear, practical reflections that help listeners navigate the religious language, moral tone, and 1930s cultural framing without losing the depth of AA’s message. It speaks equally to believers, atheists, agnostics, and anyone who has struggled to interpret the Steps through the original wording.
Jude Barnes explores how the Big Book’s historical limitations—especially in the chapter We Agnostics—can create barriers for newcomers, and shows how the programme still works even where the argumentation falters. The aim is not to replace the Big Book but to open it up, offering a path into the Twelve Steps for those who have felt excluded, confused, or put off by the language.
This edition is for anyone who wants to take the Steps but isn’t sure what they truly mean; for those who sense power in the Big Book but can’t easily access it; for newcomers who want guidance; and for long-time members revisiting the text from a new angle. Nothing is summarised or altered—every line of the original is preserved, followed by commentary to help listeners understand the intention, meaning, and practical application.
Whether you’re approaching the Big Book for the first time or returning with new eyes, this audiobook offers a clear, inclusive route into the foundational text of recovery.

Viewing Past-Lives - The...

Dick Sutphen

You don’t regress—you go directly back to the past life!
DO NOT USE WHILE DRIVING
This audio uses a gentle meditative body relaxation, followed by the “Ascension Technique” instructions. You don’t regress: you go directly back to experience your past lives. Use alone or with others.
Track 1: Special Instructions—how to assure successful results.
Track 2: General Past-Life Regression—Each time you use it, you are instructed to go back in time to a different lifetime, or you can re-experience a one you’re already aware of. Insert your own overriding instructions or Dick will direct you through aspects of the past life: important events, career, person closest to you. Learn the year and location of the life. Without pain or emotion observe how you experienced death in this past life, and cross over into the spiritual world before being awakened.
Track 3: Pre-Birth Decisions About Your Current Life—
Go back to a time before you were born into your present life when you were making decisions about rebirth, choosing parents, your astrological pathway.
Track 4: Past-Life Patterns—Learn the patterns that continue to come up for you, lifetime after lifetime. Take steps to rise above an undesirable trait and appreciate one that’s desirable in which you’ll progress through each lifetime.

Track 4: Past-Life Exploration with a Person of your Choice—Discover if you have a past-life tie with anyone close to you. Pick the person you desire to know about, and learn how to “lock in” on that person in the regression. It will explain a lot about the relationship you share today and what to expect with them in the future as your joint karma unfolds. Learn to rise above an undesirable aspect of that karma.
Track 5: Past-Life Exploration to a Time or Civilization of Your Choice—Become aware of the content of a time you have always been interested in.
Track 6: Past-Life Karma Affecting Your Present Life—Maybe it’s positive—a talent, ability, personality trait or relationship; maybe it’s negative—health problems, monetary troubles, conflict, fear or phobia. Wisdom erases karma. The first step to wisdom is awareness.
Track 7: Intensifying Déjà vu Potential—Programs you to experience a physical/mental reaction whenever you touch on the subject or timing of one of your past lives while reading or watching a show. You’ll sense an internal alarm that will make you aware.
Make certain you are fully alert and awake at the end of this session.
