There always seems to be electricity in the air heading into September and approaching the Fall Equinox. As we begin the descent into our inner world, it is an exciting time to start a new study or to deepen a pre-existing one. We have many books and CD's to help hone our brains' health and function.  There are also some subtle and potent tools to increase focus and concentration. Whatever your interest, come browse our webstore or visit us in person.

Jungian Analyst and author James Hollis, PhD, speaks with Banyen's podcast host Ross McKeachie on the themes explored in his book, Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Times of Change.

Dr. Hollis shares wisdom on finding our inner compass in shifting times, attending to the psyche’s inner guidance, discovering ourselves anew through the different stages of life, and living a life of meaning.

James Hollis, Ph.D., is a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst and the author of numerous books including Living an Examined Life, The Middle Passage, The Eden Project, and What Matters Most.

Those who are dedicated to the spiritual journey and who seek to be sources of Light upon the earth know that in moments like these, the need is for calm. This is calm within oneself and, where possible, extending calm to others. This can help us banish fear from our hearts and minds and, again, where possible, through example if nothing else, from the hearts and minds of others. Calmness and fearlessness give us a foundation to see clearly, think clearly, and act clearly. They also enable us to act with love. Otherwise, we can easily contribute to the problem, increasing the agitation and turmoil around us.
