Offering a fresh perspective on immediate presence and embodied spiritual practice, The Four Dignities shows how the mindful cultivation of the four essential postures – walking, standing, sitting, and lying down – are the basis for a formal practice to develop greater vitality and spiritual awakening. The author reveals the subtle inner nuances of the four traditional meditations, and shows how they can be practiced as a unified system. Readers are given a profound understanding of correct posture, alignment, breathing, and attention, and the author explains the philosophical basis for the practice, offering a pathway toward realizing profound spiritual and energetic transformation. This accessible yet profound study will be an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of yoga, taiji, qigong, and meditation, as well as spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in Eastern philosophy or the study of movement.

Texas is a big state with a long history. She houses a variety of people with a variety of beliefs. Not everyone believes in ghosts, but some of us do. This book is for those who do and those who don't. It is for those who are looking for proof that ghosts exist, but it is also for those who simply like a good ghost story. These stories are all based on information given to the author by Texas residents, but most of the names and places have been changed. They have been changed at the request of a group of solid, respected citizens and business-people of this great state. They are our friends, neighbors, and relatives, but few people know they harbor a secret. They have all experienced something that left them wondering about that old, timeworn adage: "There's no such thing as ghosts.
