The popular modern archetype of the Ninja is a martial arts master in a black suit that uses silent cunning and exotic weapons to assassinate his opponents. But this image comes from films, cartoons, comic books and novels. The Ninja is completely misunderstood in Western society. Join the amazing journey as one man travels the globe in search of the secret art of the Ninja. Discover the mystical trials of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water used by great Ninjutsu masters to teach their students the secrets of the elements. If one man can really walk through flames and over hot coals, face deadly mountain drops without fear, overcome pain to resist the freezing waterfall beating down upon him and face his darkest fears in terrible solitude, maybe then he may earn the title of Ninja! More than just an adventure book, this book teaches you all the skills you need to be a Ninja yourself.

The Hermetic tradition proclaims that all things are formed of pure consciousness. The thoughts that we generate and the things that we imagine are made of the same underlying force from which the denser physical objects also consist. Existence is considered one emanating light formed into varying forms and vibrations. Practitioners of this art believe the human mind can be trained in order to step beyond the limitations of the self. The goal is the transformation of self, the evolution of consciousness, and oneness with the underlying goodness in all things. This book is a modern practitioner's insights into meditation practice from a Hermetic point of view and a comprehensive, practical guide that includes: - A guide to seated postures - How to establish a meditation routine - Breathing and its link to guiding mind states - How to best prepare for a meditation session - Methods of overcoming persistent disturbances - How to purify and harmonise your own consciousness - How to link with the divine goodness during meditation - Meditation methods from the traditional Hermetic works - Bringing the blessings of your practice into your daily life. Written from a hands-on, practical rather than historical perspective. This work will be of great value to all of those seekers undertaking a spiritual path with the goal of unfolding the beauties of one's inner divinity.

Turn back the clock with these simple exercises and meditations, all based on an ancient regime created by the Bodhidharma—the founder of Zen Buddhism. He gave it to the monks of a Shaolin temple so that they could be free of illness and halt (even reverse) the aging process. The results are extraordinary: one person who practiced the sequences saw his grey hair turn black again after just a month! Do them every day to look younger, get a stronger body, and experience inner peace and spiritual tranquility.
