Have you ever felt a call from somewhere deep within telling you there must be more to life? For Meredith Rom, this call came at age twenty-two while she was lying in savasana on the floor of a packed New York City yoga studio. It came on the heels of an unpleasant breakup and an unforeseen turn in the economic market―so, with no job offers in sight, she chose to listen. Rom followed her intuition across the country to San Francisco, and soon after, halfway around the world to India. This coming-of-age memoir takes you inside the ashrams of gurus and sages of the far East, where one woman learns to heal her heart, believe in the magical happenstance of the universe, and find an unshakable love and trust within herself.

"In the spirit, I felt my great-grandma Thalia's presence that night. I had received an opportunity to visit a chapter in my family's past and to take my son with me. My parents always taught me that you must know your history to understand where you're going (or possibly where you don't want to go back to). On this occasion, I was able to help him see the relevance of his past to the present, and to look beyond the present to the unlimited potential of the future. My soul was lifted, and I had a divine assurance that the legacy of documenting, preserving, and telling our family's history would not be lost to the winds of time. That evening, one of our children paused to look back with me and to set his compass for a good course into the future."

"With an amazing level of transparency, C. J. Brown provides a well-written book that allows us to witness her personal triumph over tragedy. A Metamorphosis of the Soul invites readers to examine their own faith journey as the author displays the power of God in her spiritual journey." -Rev. Dr. Clarence H. Burke, pastor Beacon Light Missionary Baptist Church Durham, North Carolina

Purple star is an angelic being, who is a star that shines in the night sky but also can transform into human shape living on the spiritual realm. This book is her story to what she has witnessed with the fight between heaven and hell and how earth is always in the middle. Purple star is a seerer and can see the path in which knights and warriors are to take. She is also known as a path finder as she sees things that others do not. This book is all based on the spiritual realm known as the angelic realm. She tells of fights between the light and the dark, a rescue mission and how her life becomes in danger, and a dark star angel that lives in the dark and who has fallen in love with purple star, and she knows it, but they both accept their own path and side they live. Many keep them apart, and the dark will not release him to be with her in the light. He is punished many times for protecting her to the point his life force flows from his body. Together they are a mighty fighting force their gifts combined, and they would withstand all that is thrown at them; one protects the other, and nobody would be able to come between them. The light accepts him as he has harm none.

Life's Like That was born when I was having trouble getting clients at the Family Counseling Center. That is a fancy name that came from my family counseling career. I thought I needed to get some ads in the local newspaper. That led to my meeting Mr Rowe Ray, the managing editor of the San Marcos Daily Record. I simply wanted to explore possibilities but ended with an invitation to write a weekly column for the newspaper. I can honestly say I never broke my word on confidentiality; i.e., everything we talked about stayed in the Center, everything that is except the funny things. I was counseling with a game warden that told me about a lady who was losing a sheep a night to one old hungry coyote. Whenever the warden came out, she would start feeling sorry for the coyote and asked the warden not to shoot it. Finally she had five sheep left. She called the warden and once again told him she wasn't ready to have him hunt down the coyote. The warden looked at the little flock of sheep and said, "Mrs. Jones, whatever you say, but we've only got five more days anyway." As you read this book there will be tears and sunshine. The good news is you don't have to sit down and read it all at once. Life Really Is Like That.

Charles MacKay's groundbreaking examination of a staggering variety of popular delusions, crazes and mass follies is presented here in full with no abridgements. The text concentrates on a wide variety of phenomena which had occurred over the centuries prior to this book's publication in 1841. Mackay begins by examining economic bubbles, such as the infamous Tulipomania, wherein Dutch tulips rocketed in value amid claims they could be substituted for actual currency. As we progress further, the scope of the book broadens into several more exotic fields of mass self-deception. Mackay turns his attention to the witch hunts of the 17th and 18th centuries, the practice of alchemy, the phenomena of haunted houses, the vast and varied practices of fortune telling and the search for the philosopher's stone, to name but a handful of subjects. Today, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds is distinguished as an expansive, well-researched and somewhat eccentric work of social history.

Throughout my life I have been always on the go, always looking for the next level. I ve never felt settled and comfortable, always setting the next goal as soon as the current one nears completion and pushing myself all the time. With this attitude, I felt myself under pressure most of the time, and with pressure comes stress, loads of stress, and the feeling that I never had enough time. I was burning the candle at both ends, but I concluded that this was what life required. For those of us who want to thrive and lead a healthy lifestyle in this high-pressure world of instability, confusion, constant change, and stress, we couldn t stand a chance if we were physically or mentally sluggish. So when I got to know about flotation therapy, I quickly realised that this could be the natural answer to the stresses of this ever-changing world of ours. Regular floating can be the way to relax your tired body while engaging your subconscious mind as you control your thoughts. I discovered that regular floating made me a healthier and happier person. I said goodbye to a stressful lifestyle as I exercised and reinforced my body s capacity for happy thoughts, healing, good sleep, creativity, and imagination. I had lower blood pressure, easier concentration, and more energy. I discovered how regular floating positively changed my life and helped me focus on the things I want out of life. The powerful technique of floating can help people, especially go-getters, to achieve their goals, to become much more centred, and to tackle the issues and problems that life throws at them easily and calmly. Isn t true that if we approach our problems in a relaxed state, we stand a better chance of solving them? So when I was called up to run one of the very first flotation centres in England, I was completely blown away by the difference this form of therapy made in my life. The experience of lying in a tank, a gravity-free environment, experiencing weightlessness and proper blood circulation, sold me on the idea of floating regularly. I thought of the millions of people out there with busy lifestyles like me who could find the results from floating regularly very helpful. I thought of people who may be magnesium deficient, who may be at risk of developing or already suffer from poor blood circulation, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, stroke, cancer, heart disease, fatigue, and those who may be so stressed out that they cannot even sleep at night. At the flotation centre, I started researching flotation and the difference it made in people s lives. My position at the time facilitated this research, as I always found the time to chat with all my clients about their experiences on the day to see what changes regular floating was making for them. What I found was that there was not enough information out there about how this fantastic therapy can be beneficial in the long term. I was so involved with the floating business that even my spare time was eaten up by research on the topic, and I promised myself that as soon as the opportunity arose, I would put pen to paper to let the world know in depth the benefits of being present within, switching off, and being in solitude and seclusion while spending some time in a gravity-free, sensory deprivation isolation tank for just an hour or a lunchtime holiday. Some of the long-term benefits described in this book will just blow you away. Read and digest this information and keep the book close at hand for reference. This is not just intellectual entertainment, so please do act on this book s contents for the well-being of yourself, your friends, and your family.

"The Ape of Sorrows" examines humans and our behaviors in a new and captivating way and presents our species as a being of sorrows who thousands of years ago, lost its original or fixed habitat.

Maurice Rowdon has authored several books on animal/human intelligence and opens with a gripping retelling of the monkey brawl at the London zoo during the 1930s - a scene that illustrates the power of sexuality and instinct to affect animal behavior. As Rowdon shares the results of his intense studies of and comparisons between humans and animals, he portrays the human as he truly is - the least intelligent animal of all the creatures, while emphasizing the fact that even today, modern science continues to struggle to catch up with nature. As Rowdon diplomatically challenges long-held scientific beliefs, he offers his own theories as he carefully measures impulse versus astuteness in both the human and animal and why either creature may eventually leave its habitat enhanced or depleted.

Manifestations of the human being's need to conquer everything in its path are evident everywhere in the world today. "The Ape of Sorrows" provides valuable insight and the unique opportunity to view humans without self-condemnation as an eroded species dedicated to its own destruction.

The biblical principles found in The 7 Minute Spiritual Manager simplify spiritual management and increase spiritual reactions and reaction time when incorporated with the basic concepts of management. The book serves as a resource and an assessment tool. The seven-minute spiritual manager establishes a spiritually intuitive action plan for goals and objectives which lead to purpose; and decrees to the soul that as a result of spiritual practice (obedience), God will initiate and support thoughts and actions which will produce optimum outcomes in spite of obstacles and difficult situations. The spiritual manager strives for spiritual consistency and avoidance of flesh-laden distractions to close the time gap between events, thought for resolution, and spiritual reaction. The Bible, as the foundation of a spiritual action plan, serves as a resource for supporting and assessing progress towards godly purpose. The spiritual manager, unable to remove completely the burden of sin from worldly surroundings, empowers the soul to contradict the appeal of sin (wrong choices) to our weakest points. He or she invalidates and lessens sinful opportunities while maximizing spiritual production. temporary need, to attaining ongoing spiritual enlightenment and fulfillment.
