Many people suffer their entire lives from the pain of losing a
child. This book is a journey through the shattering of loss and
the ability to rise above it. Readers are invited to join Corinne
Gravenese on this journey that will bring them to a world filled
with hope and appreciation for life that most only dream of having,
leaving fear behind and keeping freedom at the forefront of your
mind. There is a promise of a new life awaiting you and a
connection with the ones we so long to have back.
Before "New Age" there was "New Thought," a philosophy that sought
God through metaphysics and was wildly popular in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. As perhaps the movement's most vocal
proponent, William Walker Atkinson-here writing as Theron Q.
Dumont-believed above all in the power of the mind, especially as
it affected the body's ability to heal. Elaborating on the idea
that the corporeal mind, made up of a body's cells and organs, is
subject to mental suggestion, Dumont provides detailed lessons on
how to use thought to promote the body's natural healing abilities.
Unlike many occult- or religion-based approaches, the author gives
equal attention to the biological processes and functions of the
body, something he believed to be crucial to proper visualization.
More than just an entertaining time capsule, Mental Therapeutics is
a set of principles and healing techniques that can easily coexist
alongside today's medical advances. THERON Q. DUMONT is an alias
and pen name of American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON
(1862-1932), 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, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still
unknown today.

This is a concise guide to foot and hand massage for enhanced
health and wellbeing, shown in over 200 photographs. It describes a
complete healing session on the hands and feet with step-by-step
routines. It is complete with detailed maps of the body's reflex
points and zones. It includes specially devised sequences to
energize or relax the body, alleviate stress, relieve pain and aid
restful sleep. It recommends easy and effective treatments for
common ailments, including colds, headaches, tension and nausea.
Our hands have always been a means of caring and comforting, and
using our hands to release tension in our bodies is something we do
instinctively. In reflexology, you can use your fingers to apply
pressure to certain points on the feet, or sometimes on the hands.
The word 'reflex' means to reflect, and the pressure points on the
hands and feet reflect all the parts of your body, both internal
and external. This book explains how reflexology works, and
includes step-by-step techniques. It contains sequences to boost
energy levels, relieve different types of pain, relax muscles and
improve immunity, making it the ideal guide to enhancing your
physical and mental health.
With retirement about to begin and RV traveling planned, author
Beth Ana is dealing with sadness that sometimes overwhelms her. She
wonders why. "What is wrong with me? I should be so excited and
eager for this life to start " The inner voice of God that has led
her for over forty-five years leads her now to return to the
journals that were written over her married life. She is impressed
with the knowledge that there is where she will find the answers
and the help needed to bring her joy back. Not only is she to go
back to the past, God also tells her to write the story about this
journey. She rebels at that notion, for it means revisiting past
hurts and struggles-and who wants to go back there. Plus, she
wonders, "Just who would be interested in my life story?" God's
reply-"Read the journals."
To her surprise, as she begins to start the journey back, she
finds that indeed the roots causing her sadness are still buried
within. To her added surprise, as she begins her RV travels, the
entries of the past connect to the events occurring now, and God
uses all to answer a prayer cried out two years into her marriage:
"Do something about him; change him, change him like you did St.
Paul."
God works in wondrous mysterious ways, and just how He changes
Beth's life and marriage is-well, that is part of your "journey" as
you read "My Journey--My Cross."

In many ways, Tariq Karim is an average teenager. Fourteen can a
confusing age for a boy on the verge of becoming a man, as changes
morph his body and mind into something even he doesn't recognize.
Tariq's experience, however, is very different from his friends.
Along with the many physical changes he's going through, he's also
discovering that he has some strange, new abilities-and he's got
good reason to keep these abilities a secret.
He and his widowed mother are on the run, hiding from enemies he
can't really understand or predict. Tariq and his mom have finally
found what they hope is a safe haven in a small, quiet town. His
mother has even found romance and a great new teaching job. Things
seem to be settling down, but then Tariq starts getting
premonitions and warnings that frighten him.
One day, one such premonition impels him to stop his friend's
father from crossing the train tracks at precisely the right
moment-saving his life. Tariq's secret is out, and his life will
never be the same. So begins his fascinating and frightening
journey to purpose. And suddenly, the quiet and anonymous life he
and his mother were building come crashing to an end as their
enemies find them again.
For a young man who wants to find his place in the world, are
these gifts a blessing or a curse?
