Anke Berben is ready to tell all. A legendary model and style icon, she reveled in headline-grabbing romances with not one but three members of the hugely influential rock band the Midnight Ramblers. The band members were as famous for their backstage drama as for their music, and Anke is the only one who fully understands the tangled relationships, betrayals, and suspicions that have added to the Ramblers' enduring appeal and mystique. That is most evident in the mystery around Anke's role in the death of Mal, the band's founder and Anke's husband, in 1969.When Mari Hawthorn accepts the job to work with Anke on her memoir, she is dead set on getting to the truth of Mal's death. She has always been deft at navigating the fatal charms of celebrities, having grown up with a narcissistic, alcoholic father. As she ingratiates herself into the world of the band, she grows enchanted, against her better judgment, by these legendary rock stars. She knows she can't get pulled in too deep, otherwise she'll compromise her objectivity?and her integrity.Filled with all of the glamour and attitude of rock and roll, The Last Days of the Midnight Ramblers is a bighearted page-turner that will appeal to fans of Daisy Jones & The Six and Almost Famous.

MEDITATION / EASTERN SPIRITUALITY"Nine Designs for Inner Peace is a practical guide to the ancient tantric art of Yantra painting and Yantra meditation, leaving no detail aside. Shining through in every aspect of the book, one finds the deep inner peace promised as a result of this yoga practice."--Peter Marchand, author of The Yoga of Truth and The Yoga of the Nine Emotions"This masterful guide is a work of warmth, inspiration, and beauty. A brilliant teaching for the artist, yogi, or seeker, it reveals ancient, mystical elements of sacred geometry as meditative tools and powerful connections to the Divine."--Danny Paradise, international ashtanga yoga instructorThe tantric art of drawing or painting the Nine Designs known as Yantras is an ancient practice of active meditation that yields positive healing and centering effects. Each of the corresponds to nine qualities of body and mind essential to well-being: radiance, nourishment, passion, intellect, expansion, bliss, organization, uniqueness, and spirituality. From the basic elements of the square, the circle, and the triangle, dynamic visual meditations unfold as the practitioner works clockwise from the outer elements inward toward the central point of stillness, or bindu, the source of happiness within. While preparing each Yantra, an accompanying mantra is recited to fully engage the senses in the meditative process.Creating the design that "speaks" most to the practitioner enables its unique healing quality to be transmitted. For example, working on the Radiance Yantra cultivates optimism and the self-confidence to succeed in one's endeavors, while "radiating," or imparting, one's inner light to others.This workbook provides an important resource for active meditation, a practice revered for its effectiveness in revealing the spiritual underpinnings of everyday life. The active participation of the body in meditation while creating the nine planetary Yantras raises the practitioner's intentions and actions to the level of spiritual ritual and gives access to profound states of healing integration.SARAH TOMLINSON studied Yantra painting in India with tantric master and artist Harish Johari, who revealed to her the healing power of meditation with Yantras. She is the founder and codirector of the Ayurveda-Yoga Institute of New York, and she trains teachers and students throughout the United States and Kingdom. She lives in Jersey.
