The Ancient Alien Question

By Phillip Coppens

ISBN-13: 978-1601631985 (New Page-2012)

My hat is off to anyone that has the courage to question a worldview but Phillip Coppens comes armed with, literally, a mountain of evidence, not to mention good common sense that breaks the “belief barrier” of our Biblical history. There’s either something to this or every ancient culture on the planet was having the same delusions over several millennia. In light of the fact that our worldview is dysfunctional and dangerous isn’t it time we look at the facts laid for us in the 21st Century?

Your Emotional Type: Key to the Therapies That Will Work for You

By Michael A. Jawer and Marc S. Micozzi, MD, PhD

ISBN: 978-1-59477-431-7 (Healing Arts Press, 2011)

 

This book takes another important step toward dealing with the energies that actually cause most disease in our world. This was excellent validation for me to see what personal experience has shown me through the years—that there are similar emotional types connected with certain types of illness. With very clear and concise language, this book will give all those who read it a running start to find the correct therapy to help heal themselves, thereby saving important and sometimes crucial time.

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health

By William Davis, MD

ISBN: 978-1-60961-154-5 (Rodale Books, 2011)

 

This book should persuade us all to eliminate wheat from our diet. It is an unhealthy whole grain! Although the cardiologist author is guilty of a little hyperbole, he makes an excellent case that consumption of wheat is the main cause of obesity and diabetes in the United States, along with other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and many skin disorders. Wheat is the only grain that crosses the blood-brain barrier, which causes appetite stimulation and an addictive response in the brain. The author presents scientific data explaining his thesis and case histories showing disease resolved once wheat consumption is halted. Immediate weight loss occurs when wheat is eliminated from the diet and obesity disappears along with the inflammation it causes. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are then reversed.

Radical Medicine: Cutting-Edge Natural Therapies That Treat the Root Causes of Disease

By Louisa L. Williams, MS, DC, ND

ISBN: 978-1-59477-411-9 (Healing Arts Press, 2011)

 

This is an excellent and in-depth exposé of the profound complexity of illness, and at the same time, the subtle and often-overlooked remedies. It is a very important book for both practitioners and patients because it points out in detail what is involved in a person's journey toward wholeness, a journey that is often difficult but always worthwhile. This book is invaluable in my life now and will be for many years to come; I highly recommend it to anyone who is on his or her journey toward health and wholeness.

Invoking the Scribes of Ancient Egypt: The Initiatory Path of Spiritual Journaling

By Normandi Ellis and Gloria Taylor Brown

ISBN: 978-1-59143-128-2 (Bear & Company Books, 2011)

 

Part of waking up to who we are is waking up to those who woke up before and wrote about it in a very enlightened manner. This book is especially powerful for those of us who love to write and have the hidden content come through beyond the words. Many secrets lie hidden in plain sight simply because we do not have the eyes to see the deeper meaning. This may help open your eyes.

Expand This Moment: Focused Meditations to Quiet Your Mind, Brighten Your Mood & Set Yourself Free

By John Selby

ISBN: 978-1-57731-970-2 (New World Library, 2011)

 

More than 40 years ago, Alan Watts challenged us to identify the common underlying psychological processes in the world’s meditations; that challenge has finally come to fruition in John Selby’s book. At a time when so many divisive misunderstandings emanate from the world’s religions, it’s refreshing to see that most of their meditations are rooted in the common ground of spiritual consciousness. Selby’s short-form meditation helps take you to the door of the source of information that we are seeking.

The Sacred Network: Megaliths, Cathedrals, Ley Lines, and the Power of Shared Consciousness

By Chris H. Hardy, PhD

ISBN: 978-1-59477-381-5 (Inner Traditions, 2011)

 

The structures from the Golden Age show clearly that consciousness as energy can be united and amplified through certain shapes built along specific ley lines of energy. Chris Hardy exemplifies what happens when a scientist sees through visionary eyes. It’s a true art to travel beyond the veil and bring back coherent information for the rest of us to learn from and that will help us in our personal search for higher states of consciousness.

The Path of Energy: Awaken Your Personal Power and Expand Your Consciousness

By Dr. Synthia Andrews, ND

ISBN: 978-60163-172-5 (New Page Books, 2011)

 

It seems that we are hardwired to evolve into higher-frequency realms, but the subtle differences along the way are almost imperceptible without guidance. As we open up to a collective consciousness on a planetary scale, we will need to do our inner work to turn on the switch to those neural networks that are in place waiting to unite and illuminate the human race. Dr. Synthia Andrews is helping to map the way.

Mahamantra Yoga: Chanting to Anchor the Mind and Access the Divine

By Richard Whitehurst

ISBN: 978-1-59477-371-6 (Inner Traditions, 2011)

 

This is a great little book and CD for anyone wanting to know more about or deepen his or her meditation. What really appealed to me was the way it addresses both the physical and the mental to bring them into balance. The time has come for all of us to take responsibility for our personal evolution, which requires work and coming across the right information taken from experience. I also found the CD invaluable for learning the chants.

Elusive Peace: How Modern Diplomatic Strategies Could Better Resolve World Conflicts

By Douglas E. Noll

ISBN: 978-1-61614-417-3 (Prometheus Books, 2011)

 

Let’s face it—career politicians and even diplomats know very little about mediation and what little they do know is based on old, dysfunctional, and even dangerous paradigms that have never pointed the way to a durable and sustainable future. This book shows clearly that we need professional mediators armed with the latest information in neuroscience and psychology to build bridges between hostilities that date back millennia. It also shows clearly that if we keep doing things the same way we will keep getting the same results, which I believe is the definition of insanity.

2012: A Clarion Call: Your Soul’s Purpose in Conscious Evolution

By Nicolya Christi

ISBN: 978-1-59143-129-9 (Inner Traditions, 2011)

 

As we approach 2012 it’s becoming apparent that our level of consciousness, as we enter the transition to higher dimensions, is an important part of the process. This is an integral part of being co-creators of a new world. This is a wonderful explanation of the stages of transformation that many of us are experiencing today in preparation of what’s to come. If you believe that you are one of the many incarnations who are here to assist in this period of human history, this book is an important read.

Prana Groove CD

By Stevin McNamara

(White Swan Records, 2011; www.whiteswanrecords.com)

 

For the first time I feel what the generations before me felt when the blues, jazz, and rock and roll burst onto the scene. Stevin McNamara definitely captures the musical form of raga and the drum patterns found in some Sufi dervish dance beats. You can’t help but feel you are moving on down the line to a distinctly new style and sound that embody the needs of an awakening generation. I seldom review CDs but this is seriously good.

The Choice: Using Conscious Thought and Physics of the Mind to Reshape the World

By Mike Bara

ISBN: 978-1-60163-144-2 (New Page Books, 2010)

 

The Choice is about where the rubber meets the road between the third dimension and the higher dimensions. Mike Bara shows an uncanny depth of understanding of why world governments are preparing for the coming decade of change. He also sheds light on why so many of us feel a change in consciousness and provides evidence from a quantum physics point of view. You can see life as predestined or free will—it’s your choice.

The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse

By Debbie Ford

ISBN: 978-0-06178-369-2 (HarperOne, 2009)

 

From my experience I know the necessity of dissolving old, outdated, and dysfunctional beliefs that do little more than instill guilt, fear, and negative thinking into our lives. This is covered extensively in Week One while dealing with the past. In Week Two I was able to see much more clearly into who I am, which is the prerequisite to Week Three and seeing who I want to be and creating a durable future. A definite read for all those seeking to cleanse their minds and spirits as well as their bodies.

Telos—Volume 2: Messages for the Enlightenment of a Humanity in Transformation

By Aurelia Louise Jones

ISBN: 0-97009-025-0 (Mount Shasta Light Publishing, 2004)

 

I for one hold most channelings suspect so I found this information to be quite a surprise. Seldom have I read channeled information that actually left a resonant feeling of truth the way the Telos series has. Even going beyond the origin of the message, the message itself left an indelible imprint on my being that I’m still processing.

Biogeneology: Decoding the Psychic Roots of Illness

By Patrick Obissier

ISBN: 1-59477-089-1 (Healing Arts Press, 2006)

 

It seems that a lot of what we call “nature” can be healed by what we call “nurture.” Patrick Obissier takes us even deeper into the roots of our ancestral origins of disease by looking at the psychic roots of the disease in question. What I found interesting and useful was how this book deals with the basic principles that underlie all life forms, thereby transcending cultures, race, and environment.

Atlantis and the Cycles of Time

By Joscelyn Godwin

ISBN: 978-1-59477-262-7 (Inner Traditions, 2010)

 

Given the mounting evidence of ancient advanced civilizations, we would do well to remember what brought their downfall. Whether it’s of Lemuria, Mu, or Atlantis, the story comes through loud and clear that entering into a technologically advanced civilization has its dangers. Drawing from the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff, Edgar Cayce, and others, Joscelyn Godwin lays out some compelling evidence that we may be entering a time when we need to pay close attention and reevaluate our ancient history in a new light, considering time is cyclic, not linear.

Transforming through 2012: Leading Perspectives on the New Global Paradigm

By Debra Giusti

(www.TransformingThrough2012.com, 2010)

As we approach 2012 it will be important to be discerning as we wade through the information and opinions that range far and wide. What struck me while reading Transforming through 2012 was the sense of grounding in the interviews with such people as Bruce Lipton, Jean Houston, George Noory, and many others. It is imperative to understand 2012 for many reasons, most of which should be to release fears and see this as a collective transformation of consciousness, and Debra’s book does just that.

The Spiritual Life of Water: Its Power and Purpose

By Alick Bartholomew

ISBN: 978-1-59477-360-0 (Inner Traditions, 2010)

One cannot help but wonder what lies before us in our continuing conscious evolution. The Spiritual Life of Water lays out in exacting detail what we know about water, taking into consideration all the latest scientific research. I didn’t realize how little I knew about water until I read this book, which is filled with many color photos that help explain the magic and mystery of water.

The Pot Book

By Julie Holland, MD

ISBN-13: 978-1-59477-368-6 (Inner Traditions, 2010)

Whatever your feelings about marijuana are, it is clear that times are changing and we need the best objective information possible. This book deals with the history of pot and all the safeguards one should know when using it, but it’s loaded, no pun intended, with interviews with many experts in many fields. What is abundantly clear is the need to consider the many people who actually need medical marijuana. I also found it useful to clear up the many myths around marijuana use. Legalization is inevitable, our prison systems are crowded with nonviolent offenders, and many other countries have taken the lead and the results show this to be a positive step.

The Hidden Spirituality of Men: Ten Metaphors to Awake the Sacred Masculine

ISBN-13: 978-1-57731-607-7 (New World Library, 2008)

As a man in this world, I’m always trying to find my role in a changing world, it seems. What was once commendable and even heroic is now considered an outdated and even dangerous way to interact in the world. This book is a must for any man wanting to shake off the social stereotypes that have held us hostage for centuries and wake up to the archetypes of the true warrior, the spiritual warrior who lies deep within each and every one of us.

Ashtanga Yoga: The Intermediate Series

By Gregor Maehle

ISBN: 978-1-57731-669-5(New World Library)

It’s rare indeed to find a book that translates any physical exercise or movement in a comprehensible way but Ashtanga Yoga does just that. This book is an excellent compliment to Gregor Maehle’s first book in this series, Ashtanga Yoga: Practice & Philosophy. But be forewarned, this book is not for the lightly curious, this is for those who are ready in body and mind to take the next step.

Journeys to the Mythical Past

By Zecharia Sitchin

ISBN 1-59143-080-1 (Bear & Company, 2007)

Hardcover with 130 black-and-white illustrations and 32 pages of color photos

 

If you have wondered about the deeper meanings of Zecharia Sitchin’s work—our true genetic heritage, the inner workings of the Vatican, ancient technology, and why you can find only partial truths in the theories of evolution and intelligent design—then you will find that Journeys to the Mythical Past will help to clear up some of the confusion. We are living in times when the whole of human history is being rewritten, not according to Iron Age superstitions but in relation to new astronomical and archaeological information discovered in the last 80 years.

Forbidden Science: From Ancient Technologies to Free Energy

Edited by J. Douglas Kenyon

ISBN 1-59143-082-8 (Bear & Company, 2008)

 

We are finally waking up to how new information is suppressed and censored by powerful and entrenched organizations. This is due in part to our tendency to let in only the new information that supports previously held beliefs. In the academic realm it has more of a financial purpose, which is to maintain grants and funding for research projects. So this book is for the rest of us, who live in the reality that we are living through the greatest transformation in recorded history. We are coming to realize that consciousness not only affects matter but creates it, not the other way around, which is the traditional Newtonian view. Read what 19 cutting-edge scientists have to say about this and other “out of the box” discoveries that are being suppressed.

It felt an honor to share in the conversations between a mother on Earth and her son in Heaven. This book offered powerful and thought-provoking messages with deep insights into the purpose of human experiences from the enlightened perspective of the spirit. Danny’s wisdom offers great comfort to his mother regarding the purpose of their souls’ incarnation together in this lifetime and the reason his spirit chose to experience adoption and a physical disability.

The Magic Language of the Fourth Way: Awakening the Power of the Word

By Pierre Bonnasse

ISBN 1-59477-232-0 (Inner Traditions, 2008)

 

Being a longtime reader of George Gurdjieff and the “Fourth Way” knowledge, I found The Magic Language of the Fourth Way to be a powerful step into the world of language and music for anyone seeking spiritual advancement through exact and precise knowledge. There is a magic in words that can be found in almost any ancient tradition and magic only seems like magic until we learn the inner workings and hidden meanings. If you want to go deep into the science of consciousness and reality you will want to read and study this book.

ISBN 10: 1-59143-062-3

ISBN 13: 978-1-59143-062-9 (Inner Traditions, 2006)

 

With every advancement in technology the comprehension of our reality expands and increases dramatically. It’s well accepted that we are not alone in this universe and recent findings that pulsars are strategically placed throughout the galaxies are but one more example of the possibility of intelligent life out there that we need to take seriously. Paul A. LaViolette reveals a vast body of scientific evidence that will give you a firm foundation for looking further over the horizon of human understanding.

In publishing a magazine I find that I am constantly looking for ways to use my work in such a way that it enhances my self-realization. As I read Working for Good I came to realize that the key is to stay in my integrity while being passionate in my work. I can only hope that someday this book would be required reading in “business ethics.” By embodying these principles in myself I can also see them at work in others … or not.

As our technology evolves, our understanding of the world around us is changing dramatically. Unfortunately, many people are trapped in old outdated paradigms that are dysfunctional in today’s world. Nothing is more important in a society with high technology than to bridge this gap.

The Resonance Key by Marie Jones and Larry Flaxman will help cleanse the doors of perception and reality will appear as infinite possibilities at a time when we need it most.

Secret Societies: Their Influence and Power from Antiquity to the Present Day

By Michael Howard

ISBN-10: 1-59477-203-7 (Destiny Books, 2008)

 

This book took the “theory” out of “conspiracy theory.” As I watch the ongoing parade of changing faces in our government I see very little change in policy. Some things never change and the more I read the more I realize what hasn’t changed in centuries: secret societies and controlling families. If used properly their ancient esoteric wisdom could be beneficial for everyone, but behind veils of secrecy the controlling elite seem to control our very destiny as a human society. We know a lot about what and where events happen but very little about who is behind them and why. This book is a well-documented account of events that date to Egyptian times.

Handbook for the Spirit

Edited by Richard Carlson, PhD, and Benjamin Shield, PhD

ISBN: 978-1-57731-613-8 (New World Library, 2008)

 

Personally I find it interesting that most of what we see as spiritual movements are happening outside the confines of traditional religious institutions. In the Handbook for the Spirit you will hear from visionaries such as the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Wayne Dyer, the Rev. Michael Beckwith, and others on their connection with God without the typical aid of any dogma. This is a reminder that we may be evolving spiritually beyond what can be explained by traditional religions.

Animal Omens

By Victoria Hunt

ISBN: 978-0-73871-377-9 (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2008)

 

I remember sitting in the park one day attempting to figure a way to balance my time to work and my time to relax and play. Looking back I’m glad I had the presence of mind to notice that two squirrels were playing close to me; at least it looked as if they were playing. Then almost as if I had summoned one of them over, one came and picked up a small nut that was close to me. It was then that I noticed that they were working hard at collecting food but having such a great time it looked as if they were playing. If I had known about Animal Omens I would have known why this struck me in the way it did. On that day I learned that work and play need to be indistinguishable. This is a great companion book for nature walks.

There is nothing more important for a young person than to find a way to simply sit and be present. At the very heart of most problems that any of us experience is our inability to sit still. Whether you are a yoga teacher or a parent seeking ways to guide your children to find their own bliss in a world filled with distractions, you will find this DVD invaluable.

What could be more meaningful than peering into the hearts and minds of masters living under the censorship of the Church during ancient times, especially during the Renaissance? Hidden within much of the art and music of our past are deep esoteric truths captured in time and untouched by language and misleading translations. Ernesto Frers captures much of this, found in art and music from ancient times in the Hermetic Code to the Beatles in more recent times. This is a virtual secret museum in the palms of your hands.

Matter is constantly seeking manifestation through higher and more complex forms. Sonia Barrett’s holistic approach is a bold and much-needed step to understanding the matrix of life that we share with all living things. She seeks to see through the apparent chaos of life to find the hidden patterns that are the underpinnings of reality itself. This can be accomplished only by clearing away old beliefs. In the words of William Blake, “If the doors of perception were cleansed we would see life as it is, infinite.”

By Jeremy Naydler, PhD

ISBN: 978-1-59477-292-4 (Inner Traditions, 2009)

 

As a researcher of ancient religions I find myself being constantly drawn back into antiquity for clarity. The accepted history of today seems little more than a plagiaristic attempt of a more recent culture to write itself into a preexisting story. Jeremy Naydler brings clarity to a subject that most people find incomprehensible. Nothing could be more important as we head into another possible conscious transformation on our planet. It’s time to rewrite our human history.

This is a well-balanced view of the health system surrounding being pregnant in America. It asks questions such as: “Why is it that the cesarean rate is 30 percent in the United States while the rest of the world considers 7 percent too high? Why are we charged so much more for fewer services in our hospitals than in other countries? Why do we give a drug to induce labor when it clearly states on the label: “Do not give to pregnant women”? Why do most childbirths happen Monday through Friday in our hospitals? Why are we discouraged and even penalized for not wanting a cesarean birth or wanting homebirth? If you’re looking for answers, you’re not alone—order this DVD.

It’s not a matter of “if”; it’s a matter of “when” will we go through the next cataclysmic upheaval on Earth. Putting aside the debate of whether or not it’s manmade or natural, with the mounting information pointing to the fact that Earth is rapidly approaching a major shift, we would do well to learn from our ancestors, who recorded through myths and monuments the destructive forces that nature can and has unleashed in our past. A compilation of well-documented science, from ice cores and astronomical evidence, to indigenous myths of when their ancestors faced extinction, could possibly make this information crucial for our own survival.

Food Energetics: The Spiritual, Emotional, and Nutritional Power of What We Eat
By Steve Gagné
ISBN 1-59477-242-8 (Healing Arts Press, 2008)

This is the first book I’ve read that really addresses the issues around the energetic connection with the food we ingest. This is for anyone looking to find his or her way out of the hundreds of confusing diets that do little more than waste time and money. Steve Gagné goes directly to the heart of the matter by explaining the energy we consume when we eat certain foods—the grounding we get when we eat root vegetables, for instance. But more important, he addresses the dangers of processed foods and offers a practical guide on what to do about it. We all know to some extent that we are what we eat, but we also ingest the feelings and energies from the plants and animals that we eat.

Global Shift: How a New Worldview Is Transforming Humanity
By Edmund J. Bourne, PhD
ISBN 1-57224-597-2 (Noetic Books, 2009)

Never before in recorded history have we gone through such a rapid transformation in society at every level. Global Shift answers the right questions and questions the wrong answers that have most of society bewildered, scared, and confused. As we observe sacred feminine energy moving swiftly through our world, we see the old patriarchal paradigms built on fear and division starting to break down. What I found in this book was balance, brought about through correct information and a clear vision of the future with steps to take action. It includes excellent references for various organizations that are in tune with what’s really going on.

Eastern Wisdom, Modern Life: Collected Talks 1960–1969
By Alan Watts
ISBN 1-57731-180-9 (New World Library, 2006)

Being a child of the 1960s I was right at home with issues that challenge Western civilization’s constructs. In a time when reevaluating our paradigms are imperative, I found his lectures engaging on such things as: Does a divine patriarch really make sense intellectually in today’s society, and What is the nature of reality in light of new knowledge and a change in consciousness that seems to be emerging in many cultures? No matter what our age, hard-hitting honest questions still move us to rethink our beliefs and worldviews.

Founding Fathers, Secret Societies:
Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and the Decoding of the Great Seal
By Robert Hieronimus, PhD
ISBN 1-59477-087-5 (Destiny Books/Inner Traditions, 2006)

In a time when we are searching for a clear vision for America’s future, Founding Fathers, Secret Societies unveils the importance of not only the original vision of those who formed this nation but also their warnings, all of which are captured in the symbols they created. To see the influence the Iroquois Native Americans had on our early documents was as refreshing as it was surprising in light of how that relationship degenerated through the years. Living in times when the average teenager knows hundreds of corporate logos, I think it only makes sense that this is an important read for young and old to find understand of the esoteric meaning of our symbols.

The Gospel of Thomas: The Gnostic Wisdom of Jesus
By Jean-Yves Leloup
ISBN 1-59477-046-8 (Inner Traditions, 2005)

The Thomas manuscripts discovered at Nag-Hammadi in 1945 were quickly buried beneath a mountain of conflicting interpretations from “scholars.” Now, Jean-Yves Leloup gives a page-by-page clear translation of some of the best gnostic scriptures I’ve read, especially in light of the early Sumerian clay tablet information that has been published in the last 40 years. Thomas makes it clear that the message of Jesus was nondualistic and told of the coming of a “new man” in our time based on inner and outer knowledge. Since these manuscripts predate the gospels by centuries, they will be an important read for anyone looking for truth and not simply wanting to validate preexisting beliefs.

Quiet Mind, Warrior Spirit: Conscious Self-Defense for Everyday Life

By Lila Reyna

ISBN-10: 1-93509-808-X

ISBN: 978-1-93509-808-9 (Bascom Hill, Forthcoming)

Living in a world where I am surrounded by extremists, I found Lila Reyna’s book to be a good balance between my inner and outer worlds. Whatever your inner beliefs may be, this book will help you go deeper by preparing you for everyday life, and since our world is in great change, being prepared is imperative. There are two ways to stay out of fear, either blind ignorance or preparedness, and I choose the latter. As they say in the Middle East, “Believe in Allah but tie up your camel first.” Whether your assailant is an angry person on the street or negative energy from within, you will find this book very useful.

Leap Before You Look: 72 Shortcuts for Getting out of Your Mind and into the Moment

By Arjuna Ardagh

ISBN-10: 1-59179-636-9

ISBN-13: 978-1-59179-636-7 (Sounds True, 2008)

Let’s face it, we live in a world where if it’s not quick, to the point, and fun, chances are we will not do it. Arjuna’s book is precisely this. Nothing is more fun than seeing and feeling results. His 72 shortcuts for getting you out of your mind and into the moment will give you a new perspective on your life. Everything in your life that is stressful can become part of a meditative practice with awareness and presence. Whether it’s waiting in line, sipping on a cup of tea, or making love, it all becomes something entirely different when you are fully present. I also found the companion CD with Arjuna’s voice guiding me a welcome plus.

Forbidden History: Prehistoric Technologies, Extraterrestrial Intervention, and the Suppressed Origins of Civilization

Edited by J. Douglas Kenyon

ISBN-10: 1-59143-045-3

ISBN-13: 978-1-59143-045-2 (Inner Traditions, 2005)

Let’s be honest; it’s absolutely insane to think that a group of people living in the Iron Age were able to figure out human history and that today’s science and technology have nothing of value to offer. Most scientific discoveries happened in the last century and almost all of our archaeological discoveries, including the pre-Sumerian clay tablets that rewrite human history. The days of secrecy and suppression need to come to an end because challenging deeply entrenched and outdated scientific and religious worldviews are the hallmark of a civilized society evolving toward higher ideals and truth.

Anticancer—A New Way of Life

ISBN-10: 0-670-02034-6

ISBN-13: 978-0-670-02034-8 (Penguin Group, 2008)

They say nothing speaks more clearly than experience, and when you add to that the academic background of David Servan-Schreiber you end up with a powerful message that can transform your life. I have read a lot of books on how to treat and avoid cancer but none as comprehensive as this. As we transcend from a purely traditional approach to alternative approaches it will be important to balance both. This book covers everything from a sensible diet to precautionary measures to take for everyday stress, environmental changes, and even cell phones.

Healing Trauma

By Peter A. Levine, PhD

ISBN 978-1-59179-658-9 (Sounds True, 2008)

Peter A. Levine, PhD, author of Waking the Tiger, spent 35 years studying the effects of trauma on the body. In Healing Trauma, he has written a slim companion book to the first book, describing his 12-phase trauma-recovery program and providing an audio CD of his somatic experiencing exercises.

This book may be useful for those who have experienced a minor trauma and who would like to try using Levine’s techniques. However, for those with a more complex trauma history (multiple losses or an abuse history), I recommend this book and CD be used in conjunction with therapy, as the techniques are oversimplified in the book.

ISBN-10: 1-59143-086-0

ISBN-13: 978-1-59143-086-5 (Bear & Company, 2008)

Since the beginning of recorded history, every civilization on down to today’s surviving indigenous peoples have spoken about this time in our human story, so I think it’s wise on our parts to learn about this event and its possible implications. These are special times when sacred spiritual tools will be available and knowing how to use them will be the key to unlock the hidden treasures of an expanded consciousness. Aligning with the feminine energies will once again connect us with our earth, which gives us life with every breath. An extraordinary book for an extraordinary time.

The Greatest Secret of All: Moving Beyond Abundance to a Life of True Fulfillment

By Marc Allen ISBN 1-57731-619-3 (New World Library, 2007)

 

With a clear explanation of “The Law of Attraction,” we can turn our journey of self-discovery into an amazing adventure of cooperation with the world around us. There’s nothing more inspirational than reading the words that come from the experience of success and failure. While reading Marc Allen’s book I realized that manifesting happiness and inner peace is an important ingredient to lasting success for myself and the world around me.

Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World

By Ervin Laszlo ISBN 1-59477-233-9 (Inner Traditions, 2008)

 

Within the symbiotic relationship of being a systems theorist, interdisciplinary scientist, and a philosopher, Ervin Laszlo brings into focus the underlying pattern within the chaos that we seemingly find ourselves in during this transformational period. It is an exciting time to be alive now, during the evolution of the next step of human consciousness, and reading this book created a safe perspective for me “to be” in the scheme of things.

J. Douglas Kenyon, ed. ISBN 1-59143-045-3 (Bear & Company, 2005)

 

As we explore the new frontiers of human evolution we are rapidly finding out that we need to rethink our past. All of our rigid beliefs, both scientific and religious, need to be redefined in light of recent archaeological discoveries. This is an excellent compilation of the work of some of the key thinkers on some very highly charged issues, such as creationism and Darwinism. If you find the works of Zecharia Sitchin, Graham Hancock, and John Anthony West intriguing you will find this book a landmark synthesis their ideas.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations

One School at a Time

By Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

ISBN 0-670-03482-7 (Viking-Penguin Group, 2006)

 

For children living in a world of broken hearts and broken promises, it must have been something unimaginable for Greg Mortenson, an American, to show up and keep his promises and mend not only their hearts but their minds. To think that his journey was built from his failure to climb a mountain made me wonder if there is such a thing as failure when one follows his or her path no matter where it leads. Reading Three Cups of Tea made me realize that if we’re waiting for governments to create peace we will be waiting for thousands of years more; we will have peace when we become the peace we seek. An adventurous read.

Stories We Need to Know: Reading Your Life Path in Literature

By Allan G. Hunter ISBN 1-84409-123-6 (Findhorn Press, 2008)

 

By exploring 3,000 years of literature, Dr. Allan Hunter has brought to life six archetypes that traditionally have transmitted sacred meanings to generation after generation. Western society, by taking our stories literally, has disabled the transformative power of myth; this book reinstates that power by revisiting some of the classics using archetypes as your guide. Joseph Campbell would be in bliss if he read Dr. Hunter’s work.

Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World

By Bill Plotkin

ISBN 1-57731-551-0 (New World Library, 2007)

 

Going from being egocentric to ecocentric in today’s world means that we need to evolve from being our traditionally aggressive, competitive consumer selves and to create a sustainable society by evolving into our authentic adult selves, who can live in harmony with the world around us. While reading Nature and the Soul, it’s easy to see that we are first and foremost citizens of Earth; our global problems have no national boundaries or racial or religious differences. To every season there is a time, and our time to grow up as a global society is now...this is not a choice.

Candida Albicans: Could Yeast Be Your Problem?

By Leon Chaitow, D.O., N.D. ISBN 0-89281-795-X (Inner Traditions, 1998)

 

Candida albicans is a yeast that exists in all of us. Normally it poses no problem, but with everyday stress, consumption of refined carbohydrates, and especially the widespread use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and birth-control pills, it can take over one’s body and cause a whole variety of problems. This book eloquently explains how this pathogen gets out of control, causing fatigue, depression, chronic pain, digestive disturbances, skin problems, ear infections, and allergies, to name a few. What I appreciate most is the author’s emphasis on non-drug therapies to support reclaiming a healthy internal environment. He uses the latest research and his own clinical experience to show how to detect whether yeast is the problem behind your ills.

Handbook for the Spirit (3rd edition)

Edited by Richard Carlson, PhD, and Benjamin Shield, PhD ISBN 1-57731-613-4 (New World Library, 2008)

 

Spiritual leaders from every tradition clearly point to a new direction in the human understanding of our relationship to our divine source of being in the Handbook for the Spirit. In today’s complex world, the message remains as simple as ever: “The way back to ourselves is to understand, through compassion, that we were never separate.” Only through the harmony of our minds and hearts will we ever be able to embrace our differences, which is the key to tolerance. An excellent confirmation of the common ground of all religions.

Living in a world organized around division, I found The Sacred Two a breath of fresh air for my mind and my eyes. Filled with wonderful symbolic art of Oneness and archetypal He and She images, this book proved to be an excellent oracle for helping me find my own way back to myself. Great for individuals or couples looking for a meditative journey into the mystery called our lives.

A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose

By Eckhart Tolle, ISBN 978-0-452-28996-3 (Penguin Books Ltd.)

 

The most important spiritual shift in my life was the realization that what I believed or didn’t believe had nothing to do with my level of spiritual consciousness. In fact, it had everything to do with being stuck in my mind because, as Eckhart Tolle points out in his book, I identified belief with thinking and I thought I could “know” the truth, which is unknowable. This is not only the most important message of our day; it may be our last message if we don’t hear it. The subtitle could have been, “Awakening ‘is’ Your Life’s Purpose.” For more on Eckhart Tolle, visit www.eckharttolle.com

By Jan Sadler ISBN 1-59477-151-0 (Healing Arts Press-Inner Traditions, 2007)

 

As with everything else in life, it’s our relationship to it that determines our experience with it, whatever it is; in this case it’s “pain.” By transforming the emotions attached to our pain, Jan Sadler shows through her own self-inquiry that our relationship with pain can be a doorway to our deeper selves. If you are in chronic pain and want to avoid or get off drugs, then you need a practical guide to help you cope and find relief. The book comes with a 55-minute CD that presents techniques for pain management.

Nothing is more vital than questioning our beliefs about how we see the world and our relationship to it. Reading Eldon Taylor’s book helped me see through many of my self-limiting beliefs and illusions through a very rational and comprehensive approach. Most people are caught in an endless cycle of self-delusion, which only reinforces itself with time because we seek to reinforce previously held beliefs and filter out the rest as irrelevant. If you feel stuck, this book will help.

Entering her eighth decade of life, Louise Hay is an inspiration for all of us. There is a depth of communication, when it comes from direct and profound experience, that is inescapable. This was what I found while watching and listening to such people as Wayne Dyer, Greg Braden, Doreen Virtue, Candice Pert, Christine Northrup, Louise Hay, and many more on the subject of using affirmations and “changing your life by changing your thought.” From the very roots of her transformation while practicing religious science techniques to the experiences gained during a lifetime, Louise shows how we can all become the miracle we’re waiting for.

By Caroline Myss ISBN 1-59179-606-7 (Sounds True, 2007)

 

Being an American is much more than living on a distinct piece of land; it’s a spiritual experiment of ideals as laid out in the Declaration of Independence. In true Caroline Myss style, the author cuts right to the heart of how we are far from the original intentions of that contract we made with ourselves and future generations and the sacred contract we have with our evolving spiritual consciousness. If you are tired of playing games with yourself and making excuses for noninvolvement, then you are ready to listen to this CD. If you’re not ready, you had better get ready because a new consciousness is knocking on your door.

Most of us know Dr. Oz from the Oprah Winfrey Show as a matter-of-fact doctor who looks at illness through the eyes of a traditional doctor with the awareness of a new consciousness that sees that illness, in large part, is due to bad habits, thinking, and beliefs . . . not genetics. This means we are not victims. Guided with the best that science has to offer, Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen have come up with a remarkable “14-Day Plan” that is written in easy-to-understand language.

As in the Heart, So in the Earth: Reversing the Desertification of the Soul and the Soil

From the moment we were told that we were to have dominion over the Earth, we have done nothing but destroy it. Pierre Rabhi superbly shows how this is also mirrored in our souls. With all the promises made by Western society, we have yet to see a positive result when displacing indigenous cultures that have survived for millennia in harmony with Mother Earth.

I found You Are That to be an excellent synthesis of the classic teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Papaji. In a time when there is so much division of thoughts and ideas it was refreshing to read something so eloquent that will go directly to the heart of so many teachings. Through Gangaji I have found my own source of wisdom for many years and in reading You Are That I see that I Am That also. This is a book that can be opened at any time and on any page it speaks though the silence that is found behind the words, the silence that speaks directly to the core of your being. You are that, I am that, and all there is is that, and that’s all there is to that.

A synthesis of knowledge that shows that we are not alone in the universe and also points the veracity of certain texts in the Bible. A book for the adventurous soul.

THE TAO OF DETOX The Secrets of Yang-Sheng Dao A Practical Guide to Preventing an Treating the Toxic Assault on Our Bodies

I found The Tao of Detox to be very comprehensive, making it an valuable reference book. I also found the section on retoxification to be realistic as it addresses those who simply do not want to give up certain toxins like alcohol or tobacco. The merging of Chinese medicine and Western thinking has once again brought new light to ailments like chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension, and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and insomnia, all of which are caused by the long term accumulation of toxins. And if you are caught in the confusion of wondering which vitamins to take, Daniel Reid explains in simple and concise language the significance of taking whole food supplements.

The Biology of Transcendence: A Blueprint of the Human Spirit

By Joseph Chilton Pearce (Park Street Press, 2004, ISBN 1-59477-016-6)

 

You may have noticed that we seem to be stuck at a point in our evolution in which violence and injustice overshadow all of our lofty ideals and beliefs. But The Biology of Transcendence shows that we are on the edge of a human transcendence. Through a new discipline of neurocardiology, it is being shown that we have another center of consciousness in our hearts that has a dynamic relationship with our brains, creating true intelligence and wisdom. There has never been a time in our history more crucial for a conscious transcendence than now while we are in our technological adolescence. This book gives new hope through new science.

Sit Down and Shut Up: Punk Rock Commentaries on Buddha, God, Truth, Sex, Death, and Dogen’s Treasury of the Right Dharma Eye

By Brad Warner (New World Library, 2007, ISBN 1-57731-559-9)I like what’s going on in the world today; we are shaking up old traditions and as you can imagine, a punk rocker would probably shake up Buddhism a bit. It is a great way to introduce a profound teaching to the disgruntled young minds in our society who see no way to connect with tradition. It’s also a great way for a Buddhist to check his or her humility and loosen up a little by seeing things with a “beginners mind.”

Being in Balance: Nine Principles for Creating Habits to Match Your Desires

By Wayne Dyer (Hay House, 2006, ISBN 1-40191-038-6)

 

As we look at the universe we can easily see that there is perfect balance, with one exception—human beings. Taming my desires has been a lifelong project. What resonates well with me is Wayne Dyer’s approach to addictions. Chapter Seven says it all, “Fighting any adverse condition only increases its power over you.” This little book is a nice reminder that we are moving into a new level of awareness of surrendering to a larger self. We are creatures of habit; why not use that to our advantage!

Angelic Messenger Cards: Divine Guidance for Personal Healing and Spiritual Discovery, A Book and Divination Deck, 2nd ed.

By Meredith L. Young-Sowers (New World Library, 2007, ISBN 1-57731-570-7)

 

In all my years of using divination tools on my spiritual journey, I never thought of flowers as being angelic messengers of divine guidance. They are colorful and add beauty to our lives, but Meredith L. Young-Sowers shows how they also can help the divine guide us in life’s lessons and gain spiritual insight. The deck of angelic messenger cards includes six sets of seven cards each—each set relates to one of the six aspects of spiritual energy (reflection, partnership, integration, alignment, rejuvenation, and nourishment). In addition to these 42 cards the deck includes six wild cards (four divine guidance and two abundance). For each card you draw, you will receive guidance on a present challenge, an angelic message, a spiritual opportunity, and application (a meditation or exercise to work with the card). Whether you are a beginner or an experienced psychic, these exquisite photographic cards and guidebook are a fun and useful tool for tapping into the healing messages of the divine.Namaste,

The Natural Testosterone Plan: For Sexual Health and Energy

By Stephen Harrod Buhner (Healing Arts Press, 2007, ISBN 1-59477-168-5)

 

Let’s face it; we no longer live in the same world our parents did. Food additives and preservatives, environmental pollutants, pharmaceuticals—the list seems to go on forever with things that affect our natural balance. It was encouraging to see that there are naturally occurring phytoandrogens (plant medicines that contain male hormones) that counteract the effects of testosterone depletion. This book is superbly laid out in easy-to-understand language to get you back on track, complete with dosages, possible herb/drug interactions, and availability.

Genetically Engineered Food: Changing the Nature of Nature— What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself, Your Family, and Our Planet, 2nd ed.

By Martin Teitel, Ph.D., and Kimberly A. Wilson (Park Street Press, 2001, ISBN 0-89281-948-0)

 

Never before have we lived in a world where it has become so important for all of us to be informed. Genetic engineering affects every one of us in dangerous and unknown ways. Altering the genetics of the world we live in and consume even has spiritual implications. Consumers do not want genetically engineered products but thanks to our agencies that are supposed to look out for us these products are unlabeled in most cases. You can find most everything you need to know about genetically altered foods in this book. It’s time for a moratorium on their production, so get involved by getting informed.

The Antibiotic Alternative: The Natural Guide to Fighting Infection and Maintaining a Healthy Immune System

By Cindy L.A. Jones, Ph.D.

(Healing Arts Press, a division of Inner Traditions, 2000, ISBN 0-89281-877-8)

 

Looking back to 1969, when the U.S. surgeon general stated that “the war on infectious diseases had been won” in large part because of antibiotics, makes me realize the necessity of being responsible for my health. In a time when we are bombarded by information and misinformation, it’s comforting to have Dr. Jones’s guide on hand and to know she holds a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology. Very well laid out with an excellent index for cross-referencing.

Tibetan Meditation Music

By Nawang Khechog Sounds True M11090

 

Nawang Khechog is one of Tibet’s foremost composers and musicians. A former monk, he studied meditation with his holiness the Dalai Lama. His music means to inspire nonviolence, compassion, and spirituality. Nawang’s music has been used in various documentaries and was part of the soundtrack for the movie Seven Years in Tibet. Like his many other CDs, Tibetan Meditation Music “has an exquisite sound that touches our souls in a very profound and peaceful way, helping us to experience inner stillness with the combination of Tibetan spiritual chants with his own masterful flute.” This is a wonderful musical accompaniment for meditation, healing, yoga, t’ai chi—and just to relax.

Walking Your Blues Away: How to Heal the Mind and Create Emotional Well-Being

By Thom Hartmann (Park Street Press, a division of Inner Traditions, 2006, ISBN 1-59477-144-8)

 

When I read Walking Your Blues Away, I realized the importance of my walks in the park. Thom Hartmann explains how we release the trauma that we hold in our bodies through thought, and how those traumatic thoughts are transferred to long-term memory, where they lose their emotional charge. This is accomplished through simply thinking of the traumatic thoughts while walking, which is a bilateral therapy. A very easy read and straight to the point.

Addiction Free—Naturally: Liberating Yourself from Tobacco, Caffeine, Sugar, Alcohol, Prescription Drugs, Cocaine, and Narcotics

By Brigitte Mars (ISBN 0-89281-892-1, Inner Tradition-Healing Arts Press, 2001)

 

From my experience as a drug counselor I know addiction seldom limits itself to drugs or alcohol. Many addictions are never addressed because they lie quietly in the background of our lives, undermining the health of our minds, bodies, and souls. Addiction Free—Naturally shows you a supportive way to ease away from your addictions naturally while still working through whatever program you’re on. By following simple instructions you can help nourish brain chemistry (which is responsible for many of our emotions), stabilize blood sugar, and correct long-neglected nutritional deficiencies, all of which are important predictors of sustaining recovery.

Light, Medicine of the Future: How We Can Use It to Heal Ourselves Now

By Jacob Liberman (ISBN 0-93968-080-7, Inner Traditions-Bear and Company, 1990)

 

Dr. Liberman, an optometrist, challenges the modern notion that the sun is dangerous to our well-being; he presents questions such as: •Is UV light beneficial or harmful? •Are we creating our own blindness? •Has science made a mistake? •How harmful to humans are technological advancements such as fluorescent lighting? This book shows how the energy of sunlight deeply affects the healing process and how the visual apparatus is not the only sensory organ that responds to light. It echoes Edgar Cayce’s predictions that light would be used in the medicine of the future. Dr. Liberman integrates scientific research, clinical experience, and his own insights in a very pleasant and easy-to-follow way. This is a book for every healer, whether for yourself or for others.

This is truly the work of a person with a passion for the healing properties of water. A bonus is the more than 100 beautiful color photos.

By Valerie Ann Worwood ISBN 1-57731-562-6, New World Library, 2006

 

Have you ever walked in a forest after a spring shower or walked through a flower garden in full bloom and breathed in the aromas? How did the aromas make you feel? Did you feel drawn to a particular fragrance? Valerie Ann Worwood’s book Aromatherapy for the Soul brings clarity in identifying and explaining why certain aromas appeal to the spiritual senses. This book covers the uses of essential oils in spiritual practices from Egyptian and Biblical times to the present. Worwood’s writing style makes reading this book enjoyable and informative.

Life after Death: The Burden of Proof

By Deepak Chopra ISBN 0-30734-578-5, Harmony Books, 2006

 

I am one of the growing population of people who require some rationality for my beliefs and I’m always looking for information that will validate, or invalidate, my beliefs. Deepak draws from the latest scientific discoveries to show that there is a continuum to life, which continues as a creative process when we die to our earthly level of awareness. The importance becomes all too clear as you learn that our afterlife experience has a lot to do with our beliefs in this world. I believe Candace Perte, Ph.D., author of Molecules of Emotion, put it best, “A must read for everyone who will die.”

Deeksha: The Fire from Heaven

By Kiara Windrider with Grace Sears ISBN 1-930722-70-2, Inner Ocean, 2006

 

People say there are many paths to enlightenment, which can be quite confusing to the earnest seeker, but I have found that nothing lights the path more brilliantly than “passion” and that is what I found throughout this book. Anyone looking for spiritual energy in a transferable form from one person to another will find six compelling stories about the Deeksha experience, which is explained by Bhagavan and Amma to be a neurobiological event in the brain. The book has contact information for those wanting to have a Deeksha experience.

If you are ready for some “nuts and bolts” on how to change your life for the better, this book will address your first “attraction.” It isn’t a matter of “does the law of attraction work?” It’s working all the time, but we attract the very things we don’t want. It’s truly a matter of having better information in easy-to-understand language with a format to help guide you step by step. If you have watched The Secret and were wondering what your next step might be, this is it.

The Art of Letting Go: A Pathway to Inner Freedom

By Vidya Frazier (Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2002)

 

In The Art of Letting Go, Vidya Frazier brings enlightenment down from the lofty, mysterious heights where only a few select people might ever go to the ordinary, everyday realms where most of us live. Her warm and friendly style is encouraging and validating, and the exercises and meditations she offers are invaluable. They help us to realize that our awakened self—far from being something we might possibly discover in the distant future—is already very much alive within us and surprisingly easy to reach. At long last, we have a feminine approach to enlightenment—soft, heartful, and embracing of human frailty—yet profoundly ringing of truth.Anthea Francine, M.A., C.P.P.C.

No matter where your interests lie, you will find this book most informative in clarifying historical timelines and the events leading to this moment in history, at which we seem to be taking an evolutionary leap in our genetics. What may be more important is “why” we are making this leap now.

Radical Knowing-Understanding Consciousness through Relationship

By Christian de Quincey ISBN 1-59477-079-4, Inner Traditions

 

Who am I? That seems to be where we start the journey towards awakening. Reading this book brought me to a deeper understanding about what it is that binds us together-our collective shared consciousness. If this is true it could also be what holds the fabric of our reality together. By exploring the synchronicities between mind and matter we are faced with the possibility that we are not alone in our consciousness but we share the dream called life with all consciousness like the indigenous peoples of this planet have been telling us for years. Understanding our consciousness through our relationships could very well be the key to unlocking our potential for higher consciousness and spiritual evolution.

Forbidden History Edited

by J. Douglas Kenyon (Inner Traditions, 2005)

 

I’m sure you all remember the time you read that article that changed your world view, gave you a whole new understanding and new possibilities, or simply deepened what you already knew. Through the years, Atlantis Rising magazine has published many of these articles; recently it searched its archives for the best and has published them in Forbidden History. Read what researchers have to say about prehistoric technologies, evolution versus creation, earth changes, and even the case for extraterrestrial intervention. Look through the eyes of mystics, scientists, and researchers at the top of their fields and see what they have to say about some of the latest finds and discoveries in these areas. Forbidden History also brings out why it’s so difficult to accept new ideas and how those with vested interests are firmly entrenched and filter out most everything that might threaten the accepted world view. This book slipped through the cracks.

Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval

By Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. (Hay House, 2005)

 

Alberto Villoldo provides an awesome vision portraying the ancient shamanic worldview with that shown to be evident in quantum physics. Dr. Villoldo writes well, tells us an interesting story, and at the same time lets us see into the magical workings of the universe. But this is more than just a description—it is a path to well being and self-healing, one you can take with the new universal soul realization offered by the author.”—Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D.As our mythologies fail us in the world we find ourselves in, it’s only natural to seek answers from the indigenous peoples who have beliefs that sustain them and their world. For the shaman, finding answers to our problems today has more to do with reaching into the future and finding our highest potential based on what we are capable of and our highest good, not what we have been in the past. Dr. Villoldo, a psychologist and medical anthropologist, brings this knowledge to us in a comprehensible way. He has shared in easy-to-understand language his knowledge of how you can be your own shaman and accomplish your own soul retrieval in a few sessions of journeying. A good read for anyone on a path of self-empowerment.

Living Deliberately By Harry Palmer

(ISBN 0-96268-743-X)

 

Since the dawn of history there have always been those in power who have instilled fear into the people, ensuring that the belief systems of the day would prevail through relieving those same fears . . . for a price, of course. Even the word “belief” means to “limit life.” Harry Palmer illustrates perfectly how our experience of life is shaped by our consciousness, our own beliefs. I’ve noticed that a growing number of people are experiencing conscious states that no longer fit their old worldviews; if you’re one of those people you are part of the fastest-growing demographic on the planet. Whether you are on a path of awakening or just tired of playing the “victim,” I strongly suggest you read this book, which, following the principles of Avatar, will lead you to self-empowerment and living a life deliberately.

The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss

By Marc David

ISBN: 1-59477-060-3

 

In easy-to-understand language, Marc David gives you the tools on “how” to eat, not “what.” In what’s referred to as an “Eight-Week Breakthrough Program,” he guides you through eight stages of awareness in eating called universal metabolizers, which are:

Relaxation—The slower you eat, the faster you metabolize.

Quality—No matter what you eat, choose the highest-quality version of that food.

Awareness—The less aware we are of the meal when we eat, the more the brain send signals for more food.

Rhythm—Digestive and calorie-burning metabolism is strongest when the sun is highest (lunchtime) and weakest in the late evening.

Pleasure—A pleasurable experience of a meal enhances nutrient absorption.

Thought—Positive or negative thoughts directly affect digestion through nerve pathways, hormones, neuropeptides, and other biosubstances.

Story—By rewriting our stories we can literally transform health, improve digestion, and enhance calorie-burning capacity.

Sacred—Ritual offers access to the metachemistry of the sacred.

This, along with what he calls “Vitamin O” for oxygen and “Vitamin P” for pleasure, will transform your relationship with food, which is also your relationship with life.

Autobiography of a Yogi By Paramahansa Yogananda

 

Marking the 60th anniversery of the Autobiography of a Yogi, we thought it only fitting to review what has come to be known as a literary masterpiece. Walking in another’s footsteps is always interesting, but when those footsteps are taking you into the world of the miraculous it can become an experience of inner transformation. Yogananda relates the early experiences in his childhood search for an enlightened teacher and his 10 years with a yoga master. In today’s world, the message of the underlying unity behind all religions is stronger than ever and his explanation of the subtle laws behind ordinary and extraordinary events, which we usually call miracles, echoes the voices of the quantum physicists of today.

The 100-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health

By Randall Fitzgerald

(ISBN 0-525-94951-8)

 

I believe we would all live better lives if we had better information, and this book is packed with some of the best information I’ve read in a while. For instance, did you know that 60 percent of California’s rivers and streams tested with high levels of Prozac, Ritalin, and antibiotics? The everyday products that we have around us flood the human body with more than 700 synthetic chemicals, and most of us are becoming aware of the chemistry in our food processing. It’s easy to correlate this with the growing susceptibility to autism, attention deficit disorder, and a variety of neurological disorders. I also found it surprising how many of the myths that we have accepted through time are simply not true, such as: fluoridated water is healthy for us, plastics are absolutely safe, drugs have extended our lifespans, and the list goes on. This book is also a breath of fresh air because it offers solutions simply by knowing the facts and showing ways to change our direction through “better living without chemistry.

The New Children and Near-Death Experiences

By P.M.H. Atwater

(ISBN 1-59143-020-8)

 

Not only is this a glimpse into the inner world of a child who’s had a near-death experience (NDE), it’s part of an ever-growing mountain of evidence that we, as a human race, are fast approaching a quantum leap in our evolution. P.M.H. Atwater started her research into NDEs in 1978, one year after having three NDEs herself. She presents compelling data that suggest children who return from a near-death experience are not the same children they were before. As you read through case studies, you find yourself left with new insights about what death is and, for that matter, what life is. Since these are children you get the sense that their accounts of their experiences were uncontaminated by beliefs, concepts, and ideologies that are learned through life experiences as adults.

Women’s Culture in a New Era: A Feminist Revolution?

Scarecrow Press, 2005.

Gayle Kimball, Editor

 

“What do young women think about women’s issues today? Have feminist goals become mainstream or marginalized?” These are among the questions that impelled Dr. Gayle Kimball, pioneering women’s studies coordinator at CSUC, to update her 1981 anthology Women’s Culture: The Women’s Renaissance of the 1970s. Kimballasked feminist scholars to assess changes in their fields since the initial edition. This thought-provoking anthology—so wonderfully free of padding and jargon—manages to pack into just more than 200 pages an overview of 30 years of feminist history and viewpoints of 17 artists and scholars on current feminist issues. The many voices communicate a welcome diversity of thought. In addition to analyzing women’s cultural accomplishments in the visual arts, music, theater, film, and television, the anthology includes chapters on political action, religion, and women’s health issues. Copious bibliographic references encourage further reading. One of the book’s strengths lies in giving insights into how culture works within the capitalist system. As an example, Boden Sandstrom, who writes about women’s music, examines not only contributions by composers and performers, but also by patrons, audiences, the media, and a variety of institutions. Also enlightening are five interviews by Kimball with key feminist figures, including visual artist Judy Chicago. That artist’s The Dinner Party (1979) honored cultural and political contributions of such women as poet Emily Dickinson and Sojourner Truth, abolitionist and women’s suffrage campaigner. In creating the sculpture, Chicago enlisted the collaboration of women who practiced china painting and embroidery, arts associated with women and seldom accepted as “fine art.” Thanks to the patronage of Elizabeth Sackler, who bought and then donated the work to the Brooklyn Museum, The Dinner Party will soon have a permanent home. Kimball summarizes major changes in feminism since her l98l publication as including more non-European viewpoints and more voices of women of color. She credits Internet expansion with feminism’s “increased globalism” and has noticed “less anger toward men, less dualism, and a less simplistic view of women’s essential nature.” This reader found the anthology to be highly informative; its pages glow with positive energy.

In times when we wonder if light will triumph over darkness, Left to Tell will surely shed more light for your personal journey. Immaculée lost most of her family in the 1994 genocide war in Rwanda, only to emerge as a light to all those seeking healing in a world torn apart by conflicting beliefs and war.“Immaculée’s journey will undoubtedly change the way you view the power of faith—forever. It’s a story of a love for God that was so strong that hatred and revenge were forced to dissolve in its presence.” —Dr. Wayne W.

The Inspired Heart: An Artist’s Journey of Transformation

(ISBN 0-9710786-9-6) Sentient By Jerry Wennstrom

 

This is a book that gives a whole new meaning to the term “starving artist.” It’s for all those who have ever wondered what would happen if they cast their fates to the wind and let life unfold as it would. Jerry let go of the illusion we call “control” when he destroyed all his artwork and walked away from his artistic career to find his unique spiritual path. Individuals among us have always left the tribe to find a different way to see the world and eventually bring that vision back to the tribe to continue our evolution. The information that Jerry brings back could not be more timely as we watch the inevitable shortcomings of excessive materialism.

The Water Prescription: For Health, Vitality, and Rejuvenation

(ISBN 1-59477-095-6) Healing Arts Press

By Christopher Vasey, N.D.

 

Let’s face it—we no longer live in the same world our ancestors did, or for that matter even the world our parents did. Our world is toxic, our lives are full of stress, and our foods are no longer what they were even a few years ago. We found this little book to be a comprehensive guide to most of the water that we drink daily. Drinking sufficient quantities of water is not only necessary for optimal health, but it plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, such as high or low blood pressure, chronic fatigue, depression, eczema, gastric disorders, and more. You may find some important missing pieces in your search for better health here. Be sure to read Chapter 7, “Ten Remedies for Rehydrating the Body,” for information on detoxifying and remineralization of the body.

A Wave of Compassion ~ DVD Documentary

 

A “longing of the spirit” and a profound “loneliness” are some of the underlying truths that are gently disclosed in A Wave of Compassion, a documentary about addiction. Director Jody McNicholas has afforded us all an opportunity to listen to the diverse reflections of what needs to happen for healing to take place in the lives of addicts and alcoholics. Addiction and recovery both need to be well understood in their nature and complexity so that the hope and inspiration needed to re-install purpose in the lives of addicts and alcoholics can take place. This documentary validates that need.

The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children

(ISBN 1-56170-846-1) Hay House By Doreen Virtue

 

For the most part, all of us are Indigos, but the vast majority came through during the late 1970s. I can tell you from my own experience in dealing with adolescents going through recovery that the care and feeding of these children showed improvements that were miraculous. With proper nutrition at least 50% of their emotional and behavior problems disappeared within five to ten days. Our children live in a toxic world and I'm not speaking of the toxins in our atmosphere; I'm speaking of the food that's in our kitchens and fast-food restaurants. If the world has labeled your children with such things as ADHD, ADD, autism, or bipolar disorder, be sure to read this book. For more information visit www.angeltherapy.com.

Mysticism in American Literature

(ISBN 1-931816-03-4) Verdantic Shores Press

By Paul Hourihan, edited by Anna Hourihan

 

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

The works of Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman are interpreted from a mystical standpoint, making it possible to understand the deeper meanings of their writings. A must-read.

The Healing Power of Neurofeedback

By Stephen Larsen, Ph.D.

ISBN 1-59477-084-0, Inner Traditions

 

Developed by Dr. Len Ochs in 1992, the low-energy neurofeedback system (LENS) shows how the use of weak electromagnetic fields is an affective alternative to surgery and drugs for such things as ADHD, bipolar depression, and other behavioral disorders. With one out of 10 adults taking some type of psychoactive drug, the use of this noninvasive technology could not come at a better time. Stephen Larsen also is coauthor of Joseph Campbell: A Fire in the Mind. If you’re looking for new ways to treat old problems you will find this an invaluable resource.

Truth Heals

By Deborah King

ISBN 0-97868-570-9, Influence Press

 

In a world where lies are an accepted part of life, it’s easy to see why we live in a culture that’s literally “dying for the truth.” Most everyone I know who has had heart surgery suffered a broken heart at some point and tried to live with it instead of healing it. Deborah King not only shows you that the truth shall set you free, but she shows that it will also heal you by dismantling the lies we tell ourselves and that we are too afraid to admit. Through her own courageous journey of discovery, Deborah finds her way out of alcoholism and cancer by not hiding from her childhood sexual abuse and growing up and into the truth of who she is. If you’re ready for truth, this is a good place to start.

This is a definite page-turner that brings archaeology and myth together, leading you along with superbly developed characters into a deep mystery and asking the question, “Are we alone in this universe?” Hats off to Ali Ataman for the many hours of research it must have taken to create such a blend of fiction and fact.

The Ten Commitments

By David Simon, M.D.

ISBN 0-75730-406-0, HCI

 

Whenever I see someone take a fresh look at old worldviews I feel renewed somehow. As we become more conscious, we realize more and more that we create what we focus on. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking all of our “shall nots” and turning them around—“Thou shall not steal” becomes “I commit to abundance” and “Thou shall not kill” becomes “I commit to forgiveness.” It’s another good example of East’s meeting West and the synthesis is nothing less than a shining example of our own spiritual awakening in progress. David Simon’s workshops are held at the Deepak Chopra Center. For more information call 888-424-6772 or visit www.chopra.com/tencommitments.

Healing into Possibility: The Transformational Lessons of a Stroke

By Alison Bonds Shapiro

ISBN: 978-1-93207-324-9 (HJ Kramer/New World Library, 2009)

 

Being a caretaker of my father, who had a stroke, I know all too well the necessity of finding meaning, working through frustration, and even finding humor around a physical trauma. Alison Bonds Shapiro speaks with a clear voice of what to do and how to do it when dealing with your stroke or that of a loved one. It’s important for anyone in this situation to know that most of what we’ve been told about our brains is simply not true. Our brains have a healing capacity called neuroplasticity that until recently was not recognized. But much of our healing depends on our emotional views of the situation and this is where, as a caretaker, I found the book most useful.

The Law of Attention: Nada Yoga and the Way of Inner Vigilance

By Edward Salim Michael

ISBN: 978-1-59477-304-4 (Inner Traditions, 2010)

 

Anyone who gives it a little thought quickly concludes that most of our spiritual and religious views are culturally determined. So to find a writer born in 1921 who was not indoctrinated into a culturally based belief system was refreshing. At this point in my life I found this book to be a welcome perspective on my own higher nature and a guide to a personal experience of the after-death experience through meditation … the very thing that many of us run from and avoid at all costs. Many of our deepest fears emanate from not coming to grips with our mortality so anyone seeking the deeper meaning of life should read this book.

The Mindful Path through Shyness:

How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Help Free You from Social Anxiety, Fear, and Avoidance

By Steven H. Flowers

ISBN: 978-1-57224-650-8 (New Harbinger Publications, 2009)

 

Anyone caught in the grips of “shyness” would truly benefit from reading this book and doing the meditations. In step-by-step exercises Steve Flowers guides you through the many layers of self-judgment, self-blame, resentment, and anxiety that often accompany shyness. As a society we are evolving into a world that brings us face to face with other people and cultures, so healing ourselves breaks down the divisions that we often feel in others but that are actually within ourselves. I wish I could have read this book many years ago while dealing with feelings of isolation that were a direct result of my shyness.

The Emotion Code

By Bradley Nelson, DC

ISBN: 978-0-97955-370-7 (Wellness Unmasked Publishing, 2007)

 

Gifted craniosacral founder John Upledger, DO, treats “energy cysts.” Chiropractor Brad Nelson also found that unresolved emotions create trapped energy balls in specific areas of the body, up to the size of a melon. He uses muscle testing to identify which emotion is stuck, where, and when it began (www.EmotionCode.com/flowcharts.htm). He clears it by running a magnet down the governing meridian—under the nose and down the spine. My meditation group tried it and was pleased with the results. Muscle testing is tricky, however, as both the tester and testee need to be in balance. If not, inaccurate or inconclusive testing results. The book is simply written for a general audience, relies on anecdotes of his cases rather than scientific evidence, but is intriguing enough to give the magnet a try. You can buy them inexpensively at an electronics store.

Deva Premal and Miten in Concert with Special Guest Manose

ASIN: B002F3BPQ8 (DVD and CD; White Swan Records, 2009)

 

To observe playfulness while in deep devotion is always amazing, but to hear it manifest itself in music is another thing altogether. Then when you add the accompaniment of Manose to what is already divine you have a situation that happens only on rare occasions and it’s all captured in its entirety on this CD and DVD. Some moments would be difficult to duplicate so it’s our good fortune to have this available for all time. Being Brazilian, I especially enjoyed "Calma e Tranquilidade" and "Ilumina," which are Brazilian chanting.

An invaluable book for practitioners and students looking for the latest information on energetic and intuitive medicine. As we move into the 21st Century it will be imperative to learn new ways to deal with everyday stress and health issues without succumbing to the temptation of pharmaceutical quick fixes that have accumulative and long term adverse effects on our health. For far too long we have given away our power and in the process forgot that we have the inner wisdom to heal ourselves. A clear insight into self-healing.

Happiness Genes: Unlock the Positive Potential Hidden in Your DNA

By James D. Baird, PhD, with Laurie Nadel, PhD

ISBN-13: 978-1-60163-105-3 (New Page Books, 2010)

 

Who could predict that the pursuit of happiness would lead directly to the connection between science and spirituality? As we enter higher levels of consciousness, human beings will find doors that will open to a much deeper human experience. Like most doors, they seem to be locked and the key is found in our meditative states, which can be entered only through love and compassion. The programming is already in place and Happiness Genes shows us a 28-day system to open those doors.

How Alternation Can Change Your Life: Finding the Rhythms of Health and Happiness

By Andrew Oser

ISBN-13: 978-0-98411-403-0 (River Sanctuary, 2010)

 

Everything changes, and there is nothing in the universe that is in a static state, yet we feverishly attempt to stay in perpetual bliss and happiness and are so let down when this doesn’t happen. This is why I found Andrew Oser’s book to be a great reminder of the rhythms of life and specifically my life. Life is full of ups and downs and to fall into balance with this is the first step to living in harmony with life. Most of us confuse “giving up” with surrendering to something greater and this book helps keep us in touch with the wonder of surrender.

There Were Giants Upon the Earth: Gods, Demigods, and Human Ancestry: The Evidence of Alien DNA by Zecharia Sitchin

Are We Alone?

By Rahasya Poe

 

History has shown that we can believe almost anything when its only supporting evidence is the fact that we believe it to be true. But let’s try a different approach to the subject of extraterrestrials; let’s look at the facts. As many of you know, my book To Believe or Not to Believe: The Social & Neurological Consequences of Belief Systems was recently published. Surprisingly, it has been about Part III of the book, Rewriting Our Human History, that people most often contact me. While doing my due diligence I had the opportunity to talk with archaeologists, historians, and Biblical scholars about our human beginnings. I also read many books on the subject, and one that really pinned this issue down was There Were Giants Upon the Earth: Gods, Demigods, and Human Ancestry: The Evidence of Alien DNA by Zecharia Sitchin. Zecharia is probably best known for his first book, The 12th Planet.

During the past century, many archaeological discoveries have been made that point us in a direction that most people may find difficult to wrap their heads around. Again, I’m saying let’s just look at some of the facts and you can form your own ideas.

As much as evolutionists would like to believe, there are definite deficiencies in the theory of evolution, the main one being what is referred to as the “missing link,” which marks our sudden jump from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens.

More than 30,000 clay tablets have been found with stories such as The Epic of Creation, which predates the story of Genesis by many centuries, and The Epic of Gilgamesh, which predates the story of Noah by many centuries. It would strain credulity to not see that the early Biblical stories originated from these Sumerian clay tablets that speak clearly of an earlier civilization called the Annunaki.

For thousands of years there have been, and still are, thousands of sightings of unidentified flying objects in our skies; there are even cave drawings of UFOs going back 10,000 years or more.

Every ancient text that I have read—The Book of Enoch, the Bible, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and many others—speak clearly of anomalous events and beings flying in our ancient skies and bringing advanced knowledge to humans.

Almost all indigenous peoples with an oral tradition that dates from antiquity tell similar stories of visitations by beings from the skies.

We are discovering other planets in our own galaxy all the time and the official estimates are in the hundreds of billions of possible planets in our universe, many of which could feasibly support life.

We should also keep in mind that Zecharia Sitchin is a Hebrew scholar and linguist with many academic credentials and a lifetime of research and experience who has collaborated with other academics from many fields. Does everyone agree with his theories? Of course not, but what most scholars do agree on is that the whole of our human history needs to be looked at again in light of recent information of the 20th and 21st centuries. In my book I have a section on the meeting between Zecharia and Monsignor Corrado Balducci, who was (he died last year) a senior Vatican official and close friends with the last pope. One thing they agreed on was that based on the best evidence, we were genetically altered from sentient beings already existent on the planet by beings visiting here in our ancient past. This is a huge advance in the vision of organized religion on how we got here and shows that possible disclosure is close.

I highly encourage anyone who is searching for the truth of who we are, no matter where that truth leads, to read There Were Giants Upon the Earth:Gods, Demigods, and Human Ancestry: The Evidence of Alien DNA. And if you feel so inclined, my book is referenced and will lead you down a path of discovery that will definitely give you something to “think” about, which is the whole point…to start thinking again.

Both of the above-mentioned books are available through Amazon.com and bookstores everywhere, so get informed and read our ancient literature in a new light. After all, who were the sons of Gods who saw the daughters of men to be fair and took them to be wives (Genesis 6:1-4)? You can also visit my website www.RahasyaPoe.com for a list of books and DVDs and magazine articles that are meant to inform you on this subject.

History’s Mysteries: People, Places, and Oddities Lost in the Sands of Time

By Brian Haughton

ISBN-13: 978-1-60163-107-7 (New Page Books, 2010)

 

Will Durant, one of our greatest historians, once wrote that at best, history is nothing more than guesswork and bias. This is why it’s so important to take advantage of recent archaeological finds and technology to clear up some of the mystery. For this reason Brian Haughton set aside any preconceived notions of history and sought out recent information that traditional archaeologists seem to ignore. For far too long our rigid and deeply entrenched organizations have held the reins that have kept us in the dark. This book sheds new light on humanity's oldest questions.

The Couples Thrival Guide

By Shannon Sheridan

ISBN-13: 978-0-98213-790-1 (www.thrivaliving.com)

 

This is the book I should have read during my first “few” relationships. This workbook touches on all the hot spots in a relationship—struggling for power, being responsible for our feelings, showing and receiving appreciation, understanding that it’s all right to feel good, and many other dynamics in a relationship—in a way that helps us understand why we behave the way we behave with our partners. As I read The Couples Thrival Guide I found that it put light on the many beliefs I had about relationships, sex, and communication that were given to me by authority figures throughout my life and that simply aren’t true. An excellent reminder that the most important relationship I have is the relationship I have with myself.

Integrative Therapies for Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Myofascial Pain: The Mind-Body Connection

By Celeste Cooper, RN, and Jeffrey Miller, PhD

ISBN-13: 978-1-59477-323-5 (Inner Traditions, 2010)

 

For many diseases in our world, we are finally learning that treatments using only allopathic or only homeopathic remedies are seldom the best approach in and of themselves. Much of the confusion has come from the polarized arguments of both sides attempting to defend their points of view, but like most truths the answers are often found in the middle ground, hence “integrative medicine.” I found this book, at 448 pages, to be very comprehensive and I highly recommend it for anyone searching for a balanced approach for the treatment of these diseases.

By Julie Tallard Johnson

ISBN-13: 978-1-59143-111-4 (Bear & Company, 2010)

 

Like it or not, most of us have a worldview based on the past and as we can clearly see, the past has led us into a global quagmire of impossible situations. This book covers the steps leading up to the personal initiation to become part of a new worldview. Using the four directions, Julie Johnson guides us through setting our intentions, then letting go of our past core beliefs and habitual patterns, and on to cultivating our attention and sense of unity, and finally to a regeneration and initiation of a new view of ourselves and our relationship to each other and the world we live in.

Who doesn’t feel as if they are spinning their wheels in today’s world? As individuals, we reflect our society, which most of us are watching collapse. Written in the true essence of Zen, Marc approaches the insane business of life by exposing many of the beliefs we have about the importance of being a “hard worker.” We are driven by exposure to advertisements and the false idealisms that pervade our society, idealisms that even the actors who portray them cannot live up to. As a Zen teacher and corporate coach, Marc has developed a practical plan to slow ourselves down and in the process get more done. Step off the treadmill for a moment and read this book.

Memory in the Cells: How to Change Memory Behavior Patterns and Release the Pain Body

By Luis Angel Diaz

ISBN-13: 978-0-595-52378-8 (iUniverse)

 

As we grow up we make the assumption that we are who we are and that this is our life, but is it really “me” or a set of memories, even on a cellular level, that identify us? Since many of our childhood experiences were out of our control and in the hands of others, it would seem strange to say this is who I am. It makes more sense to set out to find out who we can become by releasing cellular memories. Luis Angel Diaz is the creator of the Cellular Memory Release process, which can open up a new vision of who you can become.
