The Essentials of Surfing is a textbook for surfing. You can't learn to surf by reading a book, but The Essentials of Surfing will give you the knowledge you need to be more confident about learning to surf, avoid conflicts with other surfers, and diminish your chances of becoming a productive member of society. The Essentials of Surfing has useful information for surfers of all levels, but it does not cover advanced topics, like pulling aerials, conquering big waves, or tube riding, nor does it teach other sports like bodysurfing, kitesurfing, or carsurfing. The Essentials of Surfing starts out by describing waves, the main resource of surfing. It then lists the many types of surfboards you will see in the water, explaining which ones work best for learning and how to care for your own board. You'll also get advice on what to wear in the water to protect you from sun, rashes, and the cold. Most importantly, The Essentials of Surfing lists the informal rules of surfing to help you get along with other surfers in the line up. Surfing is not as dangerous as driving to the beach, but The Essentials of Surfing outlines common hazards and how you can protect yourself from them. If this doesn't put you off, you can read a step-by-step lesson in surfing your first wave. The Essentials of Surfing then gives general advice on how to advance beyond the beginner level. A glossary at the end lists some technical jargon and slang specific to surfing. Read straight through to get the big picture. Then, use it as a reference as you learn. When you're done, teach a friend and give it to them. After reading The Essentials of Surfing, you will be more informed about the realities of surfing. Maybe you'll decide to take up surfing, or perhaps you'll realize it's not for you. If surfing is for you, you'll be able to converse with other surfers and know what to look in a surf shop. When you leave the shop and head to the beach, you'll be able to better understand the waves and what surfers are doing on them. This will help you learn faster and smarter.

More than a standard "template" of AP books!
Format: Kindle
I've been interested in,and reading AP books for over 30 years and though "waiting for the vibrations and easing myself out of body" has never come easily for me as most books so predictably and expectedly teach us to do, and as this one does, it's never happened for me this way. I simply become aware near my bed or body, and even still, only a few times in these decades of effort. I am grateful however that the author takes such great effort to include the health and care necessary for our entire and overall being, and how essential energy, and its overall quality, is vital for such a demanding energetic process that we are calling for in our own soul journeys. The support and assurances found within make this a welcome and most helpful addition to the ongoing library of astral projection guidebooks available to humanity today.

A Helpful Map for First-Time Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I picked up this book because I wanted to learn what “astral projection” really means. The author writes in clear steps that I can follow like relax your body, calm your mind, picture a gentle rope, and imagine climbing out. The ideas sound strange at first, but the explanations make them feel safe. The “what if” chapter answers simple questions like, What if I get scared? How do I get back? The author says you can return any time by thinking about your body, which makes me feel less nervous. I also liked the short stories about other people’s trips which they show that each experience is different. I haven’t left my body yet, but I have felt a light floaty feeling while practicing the breathing exercise. That small success keeps me excited to try again.

A Guiding Light for Aspiring Astral Travelers
Format: Kindle
I've been fascinated by astral travel since I was a young man—back in my day, we called it Transcendental Meditation—and I've tried countless methods, only to doze off! However, Astral Projection for Beginners: Guide to Mastering Astral Travel & Out-Of-Body Experiences for Optimal Living by Sophia Grace has truly rekindled my interest. This book presents a wealth of practical advice and easy-to-follow techniques that make the mysterious art of astral projection seem possible and achievable. Sophia Grace skillfully breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, accessible steps, allowing even sceptics like me to understand the process without getting lost in technical jargon. The author also delves into the benefits of exploring life beyond our physical realm, emphasising the power of positive thought and disciplined meditation. While I still fall asleep sometimes, the book's clear guidance and refreshing perspective give me renewed hope—and plenty of reasons to keep trying. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual explorer or a curious beginner, this guide is a fantastic resource. If nothing else, it's a great way to drift off into a peaceful slumber!

This book is great!
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for a friend and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such a fun book! I’m definitely going to be borrowing it from her to make some of the recipes. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes don’t look overly complicated.
