We all have questions about our lives, our souls, and loved ones
who have passed on. Now we can find the answers.
In "Heaven and Earth," world-renowned spiritual medium and
bestselling author James Van Praagh reveals the techniques that
anyone can use to contact "the other side." Combining his own
experiences with the testimony of others who have been touched by
their spirit guides, Van Praagh encourages us to embark on our own
journey of discovery, teaching us to
" recognize and listen to our own inner voices
alter our awareness to make contact with the
spirits of the departed
interpret our dreams as messages from beyond
use our inherent psychic gifts to help and heal others "
Most of us go through life without developing the wonderful,
natural, God-given abilities inherent in all of us. In "Heaven and
Earth," James Van Praagh gives us the tools to bring them to
life.
Divining with Achi and Tara is a book on Tibetan methods of
prognostics with dice and prayer beads (mala). Jan-Ulrich Sobisch
offers a thorough discussion of Chinese, Indian, Turkic, and
Tibetan traditions of divination, its techniques, rituals, tools,
and poetic language. Interviews with Tibetan masters of divination
introduce the main part with a translation of a dice divination
manual of the deity Achi that is still part of a living tradition.
Solvej Nielsen contributes further interviews, a mala divination of
Tara and its oral tradition, and very useful glossaries of the
terminology of Tibetan divination and fortune telling. Appendices
provide lists of deities and spirits and of numerous identified
ritual remedies and supports that are an essential element of a
still vibrant Tibetan culture.
