THE AFRICAN ORIGINS OF CIVILIZATION, MYSTICAL RELIGION AND YOGA
PHILOSOPHY HARD COVER EDITION ISBN: 1-884564-50-X 81/2" X 11" Part

Three volumes in one. Over the past several years I have been asked
to put together in one volume the most important evidences showing
the correlations and common teachings between Kamitan (Ancient
Egyptian) culture and religion and that of India. The questions of
the history of Ancient Egypt, and the latest archeological
evidences showing civilization and culture in Ancient Egypt and its
spread to other countries, has intrigued many scholars as well as
mystics over the years. Also, the possibility that Ancient Egyptian
Priests and Priestesses migrated to Greece, India and other
countries to carry on the traditions of the Ancient Egyptian
Mysteries, has been speculated over the years as well. In chapter 1
of the book Egyptian Yoga The Philosophy of Enlightenment, 1995, I
first introduced the deepest comparison between Ancient Egypt and
India that had been brought forth up to that time. Now, in the year
2001 this new book, THE AFRICAN ORIGINS OF CIVILIZATION, MYSTICAL
RELIGION AND YOGA PHILOSOPHY, more fully explores the motifs,
symbols and philosophical correlations between Ancient Egyptian and
Indian mysticism and clearly shows not only that Ancient Egypt and
India were connected culturally but also spiritually. How does this
knowledge help the spiritual aspirant? This discovery has great
importance for the Yogis and mystics who follow the philosophy of
Ancient Egypt and the mysticism of India. It means that India has a
longer history and heritage than was previously understood. It
shows that the mysteries of Ancient Egypt were essentially a yoga
tradition which did not die but rather developed into the modern
day systems of Yoga technology of India. It further shows that
African culture developed Yoga Mysticism earlier than any other
civilization in history. All of this expands our understanding of
the unity of culture and the deep legacy of Yoga, which stretches
into the distant past, beyond the Indus Valley civilization, the
earliest known high culture in India as well as the Vedic tradition
of Aryan culture. Therefore, Yoga culture and mysticism is the
oldest known tradition of spiritual development and Indian
mysticism is an extension of the Ancient Egyptian mysticism. By
understanding the legacy which Ancient Egypt gave to India the
mysticism of India is better understood and by comprehending the
heritage of Indian Yoga, which is rooted in Ancient Egypt the
Mysticism of Ancient Egypt is also better understood. This expanded
understanding allows us to prove the underlying kinship of
humanity, through the common symbols, motifs and philosophies which
are not disparate and confusing teachings but in reality
expressions of the same study of truth through metaphysics and
mystical realization of Self. (HARD COVER)

This engagingly written survey covers the history of anxiety
disorders and current approaches to their definition and treatment.
Anxiety disorders are significant mental health illnesses that
impair lives and cost society millions of dollars in health care
expenses and lost productivity. Greater awareness of anxiety
disorders is essential for both the general public and health
professionals if those who suffer from them are to be identified,
receive proper treatment, and have a chance at leading fulfilling
lives. To that end, Anxiety begins with a historical overview of
the ways in which anxiety disorders have been understood, from the
prehistoric era until the present time, examining the disorders
from the perspectives of conceptualization, classification,
research, and treatment. Subsequent chapters examine these themes
in light of our current understanding and approaches to anxiety
disorders. Current diagnostic and assessment methods are discussed,
as are modern treatment options. The book concludes with a survey
of the future directions in research for the understanding and
treatment of anxiety disorders.
As we age and begin to rely on others to take care of us, it is
important that we communicate our needs, likes, and dislikes while
we still can. Keeping that in mind, author B. Behrend, a seasoned
caregiver, has created a journal for seniors to complete and share
with current or future caregivers that encourages comforting care
instigated by original wishes. Behrend, who has provided loving
care for both her parents for several years, offers a guidebook
that allows needs to be honored, providing an organized, clear, and
concise method for seniors to effectively communicate before
illness strikes. Following her carefully planned structure, seniors
complete questions that cover necessities-such as hygiene,
clothing, sleeping habits and patterns, and food likes and
dislikes-as well as details like favorite music, television shows,
and movies. This approach gives an often overlooked glimpse into
what brings the person being cared for the most comfort and
happiness in life. It's All about (the Older) Me provides an avenue
for seniors to voice their basic needs to family members and
caregivers, allowing an easier transition into aging gracefully and
with dignity.

As a psychologist, Denice Jeffery helped others learn to face their
greatest fears with courage and integrity. But on a dark day in
2005, she would need to learn how to apply those same support
strategies to her own life. That day, she learned that she had
breast cancer. Just five years later, she was told that the cancer
had metastasized, spreading throughout her body. A remarkable
journey began then; now, she is officially in complete remission.
Here, she shares her experiences honestly and intimately. Although
she had radiation, she refused chemotherapy in favor of more
natural therapies. She bravely rejected her terminal diagnosis and
started on a race for her very life, hoping to unearth
complementary strategies that could potentially ensure her
survival. In Part One, she invites you into the life of a patient
who refused to accept that there was nothing to be done. In Part
Two she details the strategies, supplements, and protocols she used
to overcome her cancer. Her story, from diagnosis to complete
remission and how she achieved that transformation, offers hope to
anyone facing cancer. "Not wanting to give up and just hand over to
chemotherapy, Ms Jeffery did her research and found a variety of
alternatives that each had good, if largely anecdotal successes,
but which made sense to her in terms of theory. She also did a
voyage through her own psyche to smooth the path, and in the end,
has won the day and shares it all with the reader." -Dr. Val Lewis,
Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia

Welcome to the club that no one ever wants to join but so many of
us end up needing. We’re so sorry that you’re here. Based on
her own experience with grief—the author’s partner died when
both were in their late twenties—and those of other Grief Club
members, Janine Kwoh uses brief writings, illustrations, and
creative diagrams to explore the wide range of emotions and
experiences that grief can encompass. For anyone who has lost a
loved one or who is close to someone who is grieving, Welcome to
the Grief Club is a book of solace, connection, hope, and
reassurance. It addresses with empathy and honesty the aspects of
grief that so many of us experience but that aren’t widely
discussed: the variety and volatility of emotions—sadness, anger,
guilt, joy; the physical symptoms of grief; and how grief isn’t
linear, but it does change and soften over time. It affirms that
there is truly no right or wrong way to grieve and assures us that
the things we feel that surprise us or seem strange are often
common and always valid. Humor helps us to survive, and the book
uses a lighthearted approach to cover powerful topics, like
supremely unhelpful things that people say to those who are
grieving, grief trigger bingo, and everyday acts of resilience.
This book is a companion that says, I see you and you are not
alone, from one grieving person to another. It is a gentle reminder
to give yourself permission to grieve for as long as—and in
whichever ways—you need.
