Space opera, relic hunting, unexpected, mystery, and adventure take you on a long journey in this enchanted sci-fi series.

Margaret and Philip, two of the best space archaeologists of the Royal Institute of London, are sent to retrieve rare and valuable relics that belonged to a very old civilization. The year was 3521, and Earth had become one of the biggest cultural and scientific hubs of the Sector. Just before departing on their mission, as they were planning their course, a strange black object of an unknown configuration appears in space, right next to their ship.

Intrigued by this appearance, the two decide to board the object and see what they are up against. Instead of teleporting inside the cubic object, they are taken off their bridge, and thrown to a livable planet, full of green lush vegetation. Facing the unknown, they advance into the adventure of discovering an old city made of stone, that wasn't what they thought it would be.

The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society.

This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view.

Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth for you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, to our relationship that we have with this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we befriend and transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment.

I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.

A Cinnamon Afternoon is a collection of 144 poems that introduces the reader to a surreal world, that exists intertwined with our mundane, casual world, where everything is interconnected and exists simultaneously as reality and also as imagination.

Visions, contemplative states, delightful incursions in the lands where everything exists as sweet baked goodies, created and induced with the help of contemporary free-form poetry, keep the reader wanting to read more, so he can dwell again and again in the dimension where everything is just a fantasy seen from the corner of the eye. Add romance, out of time perceptions, surrealism, and mystery and youll start to get an idea on how this book unfolds, page after page.The book manages to create that atmosphere where maturity and child-like play are blending together, projecting the reader in a timeless dimension, right in his living room, guiding him through a series of joyful adventures where the imaginative mind plays its strongest point. Envisioning real-life situations through playful and often surreal eyes brings that coziness and heart mending space, where the reader feels the warmth of his serene self coming back as if a thousand pieces of his soul are forming the big puzzle, again.

In just a few words, the book can be described as a poetic journey into an imaginary cinnamon world that we all wish for, in our innermost cherished dreams.

In this Japanese haiku love poem book, I am delivering an underlying message that is not only about romance and romantic love but even more, about the sacred feelings, perceptions and sophisticated moods that deeper love creates, when the partners are very much in love with each other.

These poems are the perfect gift for your girl or your woman partner, as they perfectly express that spiritual and sweet aspect of love that all women are looking for in their relationship. They are very inspiring so they can be a great moodsetter, always being able to rekindle the flame of love while describing so clearly the joy of the heart while being in love.

Throughout our lives, we all experience a gradual and slow process of Awakening. Those of us seeking the spiritual side of life are using centuries-old practices to support this process, by using meditation, yoga, silent prayer, devotion, contemplation, reciting mantras, or just keeping a mindful approach during our day. By being more mindful and centered every day, we become more compassionate, we develop gratitude for what we have and gain a clear perception of our world.

Thus, we start to love more, give and receive more, appreciate things more, manifesting a more balanced, happier, and abundant life.

I wrote these reflections with carefulness to encompass most of the spiritual aspects that are present on a spiritual path and with the hope that by contemplating these paragraphs of wisdom, this will create for you that much-needed spaciousness where you can finally attain the freedom that each of us is meant to experience here, on Earth.
