Glossary
This devotional is designed for women who have experienced
childhood abuse. It includes information concerning the long-term
effects of abuse, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
and Dissociative Disorders, but also offers hope in revealing God's
true character. Individuals who have experienced abuse from a
caregiver often have a skewed view of God. This book reveals His
love for them and His desire to heal them; it also encourages them
to know that they have a voice and are heard by the Father.
Mind over matter... The natural over the artificial... These were
the unspoken mantras of the proponents of New Thought, the mystical
movement at the turn of the 20th century that sought to unleash the
forces of the universe within humanity. One of the most influential
thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this
1909 book, to show the reader how to "to spread the glad tidings of
Health and Strength," by using the body's Prana, or Vital Force; by
direct control of the body's cells via the mind, or mental healing;
and by calling the light of "higher thought" down on the body, or
spiritual healing. An appreciation of our "higher nature," the yogi
reminds us, will result in an healthy sense of physical
rejuvenation. A century later, it's a lesson many of us-in our
anxious, stressful times-can continue to benefit from. American
writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the
popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the
journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of
New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are
likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and
"Theron Q. Dumont."
THE WAY OF HERBS is an essential manual for gaining and maintaining
health through a holistic approach, a natural path to well being.
It contains complete, easy-to-use information on simple herbal
remedies and gives detailed descriptions of more than 140 Western
herbs and 31 important Chinese herbs. With interest in natural
health remedies and alternatives to Western medicine on the rise,
Michael Tierra provides a classic work on herbs and natural
healing.
In this volume, which includes a faithful reproduction of
Dewanchand Varma's original book on Pranotherapy, the reader can
trace one of the early developmental branches of modern manual
therapy and learn something of the eccentric life of one its early
pioneers in the West. Phil Young has drawn the threads of this
development together with the inclusion of the previously
unpublished notebooks of another such pioneer, Dr Randolph Stone, a
contemporary of Varma who, like Stanley Lief the founder of modern
European Neuromuscular Technique, was influenced by Varma's work.
Stone was the founder of his own system of manual therapy, which he
called Polarity Therapy, and although it is similar to Varma's
work, it has maintained to this day more of the original
vitalistic, energy approach.
