Exploring Banyen Metaphysical Bookstore

Exploring Banyen Metaphysical Bookstore-

Well we had a good time looking around Banyen Books, but there is just so much stuff to look at it was overwhelming.  Definitely will have to make another trip back there one day soon. I did find two really nice hard covered tarot books, which I think will be like a trilogy in 2018. "Tarot Fundamentals", "Tarot Experience", and the one not out yet will be called, "Tarot Compendium". They are full-color tarot books from Lo Scarabeo & Tali Goodwin. Some topics they include are Tarot history, reading, spiritual work, card meanings, and much more. Good reference books for beginners and adepts alike. Includes more than 400 color illustrations and contributions from a wide range of tarot experts, including Sasha Graham, Barbara Moore, Mark McElroy, Marcus Katz, Tali Goodwin, Giordano Berti, and Riccardo Minetti.  *I see that Amazon has them for a pretty good price, and you can also buy them separate.  Below is a photo we took of the two that are now available:

A TRIP TO BANYEN BOOKS

Banyen Books is in Vancouver, Canada.
Many of the mystical books in this incense-rich store have a strong Asian flavour, but there are also titles from Western spiritual streams as well as psychology and the healing arts.
Banyen Books  has been around aprox. 45 years....
On the experimental West Coast, it turns out, alternative spirituality sells. This shop has sold thousands upon thousands and more, books....27,000 titles and products, Banyen’s extensive collection remains dizzyingly diverse. Along with serious books on spirituality, psychology, the healing arts, community building, ecology and the intersection of science and the sacred, there is no shortage of titles on the Freemasons, UFOs, the 2012 “cataclysm,” ESP, astral travel and psychedelia.
Anything and everything seems to be grist for Banyen’s non-judgmental spiritual mill. 
I am so looking forward to my visit there...

*In an earlier post I said I was going to go to the local Fall Fair, so when I was there I saw this very cool dragon a lady had crocheted. (Some people are so clever!) The dragon even has his own camp fire and marshmallows 😁 I love it!

Indigenous People of North America- Grounding Practices

Indigenous People of  North America - Grounding Practices:

When the Indigenous People (Native Indians) of  North America became sick, one of the first things they did was to enter the forest, rich in negative ions, where they would breathe deeply and sit with their back against the trunk of a tree. This way they grounded themselves, "sitting in the lap of Mother nature" as they put it, to receive healing. Walking barefoot on the Earth and running at the beach are also effective ways to restore grounding to the body. "Bare your sole!🌲🌙

**Footnote- Grounding means focusing on the core of our energy body in the lower dan tien (energy center), and having the legs and hips open to the flow of the energy of the earth.
