Summary

Is it possible to seek enlightenment--to feel alive and whole and useful and joyful--in an imperfect job? The Office Sutras can help transform any job--even one you hate--into an active part of spiritual practice. Work can be an arena that challenges you spiritually as well as professionally.With humor and wit, Marcia Menter helps readers recognize that the things that drive them craziest at work can be doorways to growth and understanding in their lives, if they are approached with an open mind and heart. Chapters like "The Slough of Suckiness," "Are They Paying Me Enough?," and "The Dream That Got Away," share practical techniques, exercises, and mantras for finding divinity in the resentments that can make anyone's job miserable. Each chapter includes inspiring Mantras for the Bad Days, such as "If God had wanted me to spend my whole life in my office, he would have given me a nicer office."Menter contends that the job you have right now, for all its imperfections, may be just the spiritual challenge you need to confront the most important issues of life--issues like self-worth and fulfillment and paying your way in the world. Office Sutras will help readers find opportunities for growth and peace in even the most stultifying of work situations.

    Clean Sweep - Banishing...

    Let go and lighten up your life—includes over 100 exercises and rituals for banishing what’s negative and harmful.   As a culture we are driven to acquire, amass, get, use, devour, taste, and try. And of course, it is never enough. Until we figure out that enough is enough, we will never lead a fulfilling life. Unless we let go of possessions, attitudes, emotions, old lovers, or old ideas, we’ll never be able to make true changes.   While we’ve gotten very good at taking, consuming, hoarding, devouring, overworking, and inputting more and more and more, we have forgotten how to eliminate, release, and renew—concepts that are imprinted in every cell of our bodies. We need to relearn what our ancestors knew: how to banish.   Banishing is the identification and naming of people, things, forces, feelings, thoughts, or ideas that are negative or harmful in one’s life and, through the strength of will and positive power, i.e. love, taking command over these negatives and tossing them out. Denny Sargent, an eclectic ritualist, interweaves his personal testimonial with the theory of banishing harmful factors from our physical environment as well as from our bodies, hearts and minds—through the elements of air, fire, water, earth, and spirit. He also provides more than 100 banishing exercises and rituals, based on traditional practices performed throughout time and around the world
