Acerca de esta escucha
Death is a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we are more often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that may accompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of death and how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death - and life - in a truer perspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity.
Graceful Exits offers valuable guidance in the form of 108 stories recounting the ways in which Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters, both ancient and modern, have confronted their own deaths. By directly presenting the grace, clarity, and even humor with which great spiritual teachers have met the end of their days, Blackman provides inspiration and nourishment to anyone truly concerned with the fundamental issues of life and death.

Historia
The luminous energy field, also called the light body, halo, or aura, is a translucent, multicolored matrix that envelops and surrounds us, extending just beyond the body in all directions. This field organizes our physical body as well as our thoughts and emotions. The luminous energy field contains a template of how we live, how we age, how we heal, and how we might die. This template is based on an "archive" of all of our personal and ancestral memories, early-life trauma, and wounds from former lifetimes. These records or imprints are stored in full color and intensity of emotion.

Historia
Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu.

Historia
As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of unusual characters - including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter - and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.

Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most. Life and death are a package deal. They cannot be pulled apart, and we cannot truly live unless we are aware of death. The Five Invitations is an exhilarating meditation on the meaning of life and how maintaining an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves.

The sages of Tantra have known for centuries that when you follow the path of Shakti - the sacred feminine principle personified by the goddesses of yoga - these gifts can manifest spontaneously. Yet most of us, women as well as men, have yet to experience the full potential of our inner feminine energies. When you know these powers for what they are, they heighten your capacity to open spiritually, love more deeply and fearlessly, create with greater mastery, and move through the world with skill and delight.

Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture's focus on youthfulness. In her exciting new book, mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie explores these archetypes, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples, women can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and their elder years as a path to dynamic power.

For more than 20 years since his New York Times best seller Don't Know Much About History first appeared, Davis has shown that Americans don't hate history, just the dull version dished out in school. Now Davis turns his attention to what is arguably the most important and most fascinating subject in American history: our presidents. From the heated debates over executive powers through the curious election of George Washington in 1789 and, for more than 200 years, up through the meteoric rise of Barack Obama, the presidency has been at the heart of American history.

Well written and translated in audio.
I enjoyed this book. It was recommended to me from a small group I have been meeting with. I was unaware of most of the stories and was moved by the authors own at the end. Recommended for those seeking true examples of living and dying.

Thoughtful
Seriously researched and detailed anecdotes of how 100 enlightened Eastern beings approached—and shared—their conscious deaths, and gives approaches each of us might bring to our own death, as the author finally did.

Great little book
Would you consider the audio edition of Graceful Exits to be better than the print version?
This is a little book that relates in different voices, tales, stories and situations around dying high spiritual masters from 3 spiritual perspectives.
It has a 30 minute introduction and then numbered tales as they tell the story.
Its very nice and well made, and all the stories are numbered although not for the chapters on the online version of the library, meaning, that if you look for a specific tale, you will not find it using their chapter system of Audible. But thats ok.
The female voice of the introduction for me was a little plain. But it was fine, for the subject. The stories are very interesting and some of them quite famous, some other not that much. Its an interesting perspective on death and dying and I think it's worth the price.

Like Faces of Death for meditators
Would you listen to Graceful Exits again? Why?
Yes! I'll keep this book close until I die, as it is intended.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Graceful Exits?
The documented death of one of my own personal heroes, Sri Aurobindo
Which scene was your favorite?
A stereotypically practical Zen master eager to leave the physical body and thereby ceasing to be a burden in his declining health, took the advice of his faithful to NOT die yet, as it was the midst of winter, and a funeral ceremony then would be cold and uncomfortable. He agreed and suspended his death until warmer weather.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Graceful Exits?
There is no regret in death when we are prepared for rebirth.
Any additional comments?
We all die, it is best to learn how some of the best die-ers have died.

For the Money
The price is right foe this audio! Don't know exactly what I was expecting but I found myself a wee-bit bored thruout this audio. The few about high lamas experiencing the Rainbow Light was good and is read of this before. The price is right for this one!

narration you get for $1.95
death poems by " great beings" FYI/ great beings die pretty much the same way not-so-great-beings in human form die/ that said these poems and little stories of passing are excellent/ can't say same for the mangled pronunciations of the numerous narrators/ is it so hard to find someone who knows how the various Chinese/ Japanese and Indian names should be pronounced? oh well/ you get---sometimes--what you pay for and at $1.95 i really am not complaining--well not much/
all that said there is still much to learn much to ponder here/
