200% - An Instruction Manual for Living Fully
By Arjuna
This book is a guide for the human condition. It is a practical, real and honest roadmap for anyone who wants to experience life to its fullest – at 200%.
200% of life is the experience of everything. It is the whole of life: 100% inner connection, peace and stability and 100% outer enjoyment, effectiveness and fulfilment. Success without contentment and peace is half a life. Being “Zen” without action or the good things of life is only half the picture. You can have both; you deserve both. You deserve to live 200% of life.
A step-by-step, “How to live fully” manual, this book gives you everything you need to cultivate the right rock solid inner foundation for the most fulfilling, and even thrilling, external existence. Light-hearted, entertaining and incredibly clear, this is the rarest of spiritual books – it doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet what it delivers is profound.
Do you want to live 200% of life?
Ascension
By M.S.I.
Ascension! clearly explains the teaching of the Ishayas, the sole purpose of which is transforming life into a constant perception of the perfection within the human heart. Real expansion of consciousness occurs only through direct, personal experience. Ascension! is an invitation to awaken to the innermost Reality of your true Self. This text also includes a description of the Ishayas' 27 Ascension Attitudes.
Choices
By Jaya
If you knew you had a choice to make a difference, what would you do? When people start to question the world, their lives, their achievements... Something starts to happen.
Choices weaves together five separate narratives of people of different ages and backgrounds coming to a realisation that their lives have been unfulfilled. They begin looking for something to bring them the greater happiness and purpose that they desire. This book illustrates the power of our choices. That experiencing suffering or joy can result from the choices we make, and that the decisions we make move us towards one or the other.
Enlightenment
By M.S.I.
Enlightenment is a commentary on The Yoga Sutras of Maharshi Patanjali, which are an elegant description of the expansion of consciousness and the psychological, emotional, and physical transformations involved.
Many commentators have mistaken the sutras for steps to enlightenment, believing it necessary to renounce normal life and force the mind into silence. Nothing could be further from the truth. This translation and commentary corrects this unfortunate distortion, clearly revealing the power of the sutras to illuminate the nature of the Self and brings to light the true purpose and meaning of Patanjali’s words.
Silent Songs to God
By Garuda
Silent Songs to God shares a collection of consciousness-raising poems by meditation teacher Garuda Ishaya. Within the words is an invitation to awaken through stillness by moving through spiritual beliefs and concepts into a direct experience of God. These poems were written in an attempt to share a living experience of the wonder and awe of resting in our natural state.
‘Garuda’s words are not only to be read, but experienced, and for those open to letting the poems speak to their soul, Silent Songs of God invites us to wake up to the recognition that we are one with the still silent presence of infinite consciousness.'

Boundless
By Greg Hopkinson
Boundless shares the story of a near-death experience in an avalanche that set Greg Hopkinson on a quest for happiness. He forged into the Soviet Union to make money, just as it collapsed. Ironically, the greater his business success the more he battled his inner demons. He caught a glimpse of what he’d become, and it wasn’t pretty.
As Greg stumbled out of Russia, his marriage failed and he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He soon found his soul mate but realised that he was incapable of sustaining a loving relationship. Full of despair, he committed to finding peace and love within himself, and he did the most unlikely thing – he became an Ishaya monk
The Broker Who Broke Free
By Maitreya
The Broker Who Broke Free shares the story of Maitreya, a broker in London, who had plenty of cash, friends and great prospects. Still, he knew that something was missing, that there was much more to life than he was experiencing.
After some scrapes with death on a Welsh mountain, being threatened with a gun, attacked by a gang of youths and nearly drowning, he was dragged, kicking and screaming, into a sense of meaning, peace and freedom. If you too are trying to create the perfect life to become happy, this book will turn your world upside down. You may just find that true happiness is found in the one place you have not yet looked.
