In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how,
after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began
shutting down-overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading
throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an
extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent
worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining
consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so
rapidly that she was released from the hospital within
weeks-without a trace of cancer in her body! Within these pages,
Anita recounts stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge
to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she
eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all
medical knowledge. As part of a traditional Hindu family residing
in a largely Chinese and British society, Anita had been pushed and
pulled by cultural and religious customs since she was a little
girl. After years of struggling to forge her own path while trying
to meet everyone else's expectations, she had the realization, as a
result of her epiphany on the other side, that she had the power to
heal herself . . . and that there are miracles in the Universe that
she'd never even imagined. In Dying to Be Me, Anita freely shares
all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and
the true magnificence of each and every human being! This is a book
that definitely makes the case that we are spiritual beings having
a human experience . . . and that we are all One!

practical guide to better parenting with the Enneagram, certified
Enneagram practitioner and experienced parent Ann Gadd explores the

revealing each type's strengths and challenges, as well as
exploring all 81 parent-child type combinations. She offers a quiz

child's type. Examining each of the 9 Enneagram parenting types in
detail, Gadd looks at what each parental type wants from their
child, how to parent from the highest aspects of your type, and how
to utilize your type's inherent skills to be an even better parent.
She explores each of the 9 types as children, preteens, and teens,
including their positive and more challenging traits--what drives
them, what they fear, what inspires them--and offers suggestions
for how you can best relate to and communicate with your child.
Looking at each of the 81 parent-child combinations, Gadd suggests

parent-child relationship by recognizing not only your child's
triggers but also your own and how to navigate them, leading to

much deeper level, the author's systematic approach to parenting
with the Enneagram reveals why we and our children behave in
certain ways, how to release our habits, and how to be fully
present as a parent. And being present with our children is the
best gift we can give them to help them feel safe, heard, and
understood.
Can everything be forgiven? Forgiving the small and average
sufferings experienced throughout life is one thing. But what about
bigger transgressions, like infidelity, abuse, or even large-scale
offenses such as genocide? Showing that forgiveness is the healing
of the heart's wounds as well as the revival of love, Olivier Clerc
looks at what prerequisites might be needed to enter into a process
of forgiving and what the effects of doing so might be, for oneself
as much as, if not more than, for the perpetrator. He identifies 15
obstacles to forgiveness--prejudices, confusions, false ideas,
misunderstandings--and discusses where these perceptions and
obstacles originate from, which keep many of us from taking the
path to healing. Exploring how to overcome the obstacles to
forgiveness and how to let go and change our thinking, the author
details four practical methods for forgiveness, each with a unique
approach: the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, Colin Tipping's
Radical Forgiveness, Fred Luskin's Nine Steps to Forgiveness, and
the author's own Gift of Forgiveness, inspired by his work with don
Miguel Ruiz. Drawing from his years of forgiveness work as well as
from the Forgiveness Project, he shares inspiring testimonies and
examples from both victims and perpetrators who have rebuilt their
lives after trauma by walking the path of conscious forgiveness.
Clerc reveals how choosing to engage in a conscious process of
forgiving our perpetrators--while not without struggle--helps stop
a spiral of destruction, cleanses the heart, and leads to relief,
freedom, and inner peace. Even when faced with the unspeakable,
forgiveness is a path we can all take and in doing so we recover
our full capacity to love and find happiness.

Enrich your yoga practice with this in-depth look at the poses
(asanas) and the spiritual basis for their creation. Modern yoga
instructors often emphasize the body while neglecting the mind and
spirit, and many practitioners are unaware of yoga s underlying
philosophy, symbols, and rituals. To remedy this, Yoga Mythology
recounts the stories behind more than sixty asanas, drawing
attention to an Indic worldview based on the concepts of eternity,
rebirth, liberation, and empathy. Learn how svana-asana (dog pose)
is connected to Shiva and bhujanga-asana (cobra pose) was inspired
by shape-shifting beings who live below the earth. This playful
book includes stories from Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism that
nurtured the idea of yoga and shaped the development of its most
iconic asanas.
This elegantly designed pocket book brings together profound words
of wisdom on the importance of trees in our lives. From poetry to
prose, across literature and time, nature has inspired creativity
and is the foundation of life. This book is for every nature

making better choices. Beyond Sustainability - Authentic Living at
a Time of Climate Crisis is an extended discussion about
individuality and choice and how, to thrive as individuals and a
society, we must seek to move beyond the notion of sustainability.
Reveals the extraordinary purpose of the newly discovered "Big
Void" within the Great Pyramid of Giza * Analyzes ancient
Coptic-Egyptian texts and evidence from astronomy and archaeology
to show how the Big Void may be a grand "Hall of Ancestors" *
Explores the controversy surrounding the discovery of the Big Void
and debunks many of the theories regarding the purpose of this
massive new "chamber" * Reveals how the Great Pyramid was built by
Khufu as an indestructible "recovery vault" to help Egyptian
civilization rebuild after an anticipated cataclysm In November
2017, an international team of more than 30 scientists published
the results of their two-year-long Great Pyramid research project
in the journal Nature. Using an advanced imaging technique known as
muon radiography, three groups working independently from each
other discovered a massive, previously unknown space within the
Great Pyramid of Giza. Mainstream Egyptologists suggest that the
"Big Void" is simply a stress-relieving device for the Grand
Gallery. But, as Scott Creighton reveals, ancient Coptic-Egyptian
texts describe exactly what the Big Void is. Exploring the
controversy surrounding the Big Void, Creighton artfully debunks
many of the theories about the purpose of this massive chamber as
well as other long-held Egyptology beliefs. Analyzing the
Coptic-Egyptian texts and evidence from astronomy, archaeology, and
other sources, the author reveals how the Great Pyramid was built
by Khufu as an indestructible recovery vault to help Egyptian
civilization rebuild after a cataclysmic natural disaster--a rapid
pole shift and subsequent deluge--predicted by his
astronomer-priests. And the key component of the recovery vault
would have been the Hall of the Ancestors, a sealed safe haven
containing the mummified remains of the Osiris Kings, deceased
pharaohs who would seek the benevolence of the gods to ensure
Egypt's recovery from the disaster.
Experience a year of discovering how to swap worry and anxiety for
joy and contentment using this guidebook of weekly prompts and
activities. Happiness is sought by all – but what, really, is
happiness? Sometimes our confusion over just what it is we are
looking for can make it seem elusive. Here, Lois Blyth explains
what happiness is – and what it is not – and shows how it is
within everyone's reach. She details the science of happiness, such
as developing a happy brain, and its power to heal and even extend
life. Then, she suggests simple activities for each week of the
year that will help you reframe your view of the world. Some will
lead you to self-reflection: look at what you're grateful for;
increase your self-esteem and appreciate your uniqueness; become
aware of your thoughts and language to note negative phrases and
replace them with positive ones; tackle procrastination; and find
happiness at work. Others encourage you to give back to the world,
including a ‘good deeds pledge’ and developing a greater
empathy for those around you. Spend a week living in the moment and
exploring the wonder of the world through all your senses,
experience the healing power of colour or try incorporating more
exercise into each day, no matter how small, as being active is a
key way to improve mental wellbeing. Taking on each activity for
just a week at a time makes it seems much less challenging, but
also, once you've spent seven days consciously doing something new
or thinking in a different way, you'll find that week's activity
starts to become a habit. Journal pages with friendly reminders
follow each activity so that you can reflect on your experience and
what you are discovering. Through simple shifts in approach, you
can choose to be happy and love life, laugh more and live longer.

presented extend an understanding of these spiritual laws, which
govern all life. Vividly illustrated accounts and metaphors show
how prosperity, success, and well-being can be achieved.
A guide to worldwide shamanism and shamanistic practices,
emphasizing historical and current cultural adaptations. This
two-volume reference is the first international survey of
shamanistic beliefs from prehistory to the present day. In nearly
200 detailed, readable entries, leading ethnographers,
psychologists, archaeologists, historians, and scholars of religion
and folk literature explain the general principles of shamanism as
well as the details of widely varied practices. What is it like to
be a shaman? Entries describe, region by region, the traits, such
as sicknesses and dreams, that mark a person as a shaman, as well
as the training undertaken by initiates. They detail the costumes,
music, rituals, artifacts, and drugs that shamans use to achieve
altered states of consciousness, communicate with spirits, travel
in the spirit world, and retrieve souls. Unlike most Western books
on shamanism, which focus narrowly on the individual's experience
of healing and trance, Shamanism also examines the function of
shamanism in society from social, political, and historical
perspectives and identifies the ancient, continuous thread that
connects shamanistic beliefs and rituals across cultures and
millennia.
Lessons in fearless living through breathwork, gentle movement, and
meditation based on the experiences of those at the edge of life *
Shares a series of simple, practical, and profound conscious
breathing, movement, and meditation exercises that help you bypass
the ego-centered mind, open your heart, and live in the present
moment * Developed through the author's decades of work with cancer
patients Through decades of teaching yoga and meditation to cancer
patients, William Yang witnessed hundreds of breakthroughs into
radical presence and openheartedness. In many ways, his patients
taught him more than he taught them. From this collaboration with
the sick and dying, Yang developed a series of simple, practical,
and profound conscious breathing, movement, and meditation
exercises that help to bypass the ego-centered mind, open the
heart, and live fearlessly in the present moment. Yang's exercises
begin with an invitation to rediscover a natural and unforced way
of breathing, so we can let go of our anxious ego and let life in
again. From there, enlarging the sequence step by step, the author
focuses on grounding and connecting with Mother Earth, working with
the spine to develop a new sense of self-confidence, and opening
the heart to love again. As we shed elements of the stressed,
anxious person we once were, we are able to be more attuned to the
world around us in a loving and caring way. Through the lessons
learned from his cancer patients, Yang shows how, with courage and
compassion, we can live and love without reservation at any time in
our lives.
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From FOX News anchor and
author Harris Faulkner comes a collection of powerful, true-life
stories of resilience, healing, rescue, and protection. We need
reminders of God's power now more than ever. We often think about
prayer as a wish list, with God as Santa Claus. The reality is that
the power of prayer reminds us not only how small we are, but also
how big God is. Prayer is hope put into action. And prayer works.
From the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti to the
theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, believers testify to how God
inspired hope even when all seemed lost. Two teenagers who were
saved from treacherous seas by a vessel named Amen now give thanks
for the rescue that changed their lives. A woman's near-death
experience with COVID-19 turned out to be the crisis freeing her
from despair. Others speak to how prayer helped them navigate
family trauma, overcome abuse, and cope with mental illness and
depression. Historical accounts of miracles testify to God's power
throughout time, and Faulkner recounts the role of faith and prayer
in her own life and the life of her father. Along with these
stories of God's presence, the book includes an exclusive packet of
newly written prayers. Created to reflect the current times, this
prayer booklet will provide a road map for putting the lessons of
these stories into action. Faith Still Moves Mountains reminds us
that God's light always shines through the darkness. Through these
testimonies, we learn prayer isn't just a ritual, it's a vital
spiritual strategy in a world that wants us to give up the fight.

Edgar Cayce has been called the Sleeping Prophet, the father of
Holistic medicine, and the most documented psychic of all time.
During Cayces lifetime, he gave more than 14,000 psychic readings
on an amazing 10,000 different topics. Some of the most fascinating
readings were given on Atlantis. According to the readings, not
only did Atlantis exist, but the breadth of technology at that time
surpassed our own. In fact, it was that civilizations unique use of
a type of crystal energy that eventually led to the downfall of
Atlantis over a period of several thousand years, as it broke apart
and into the ocean. After a number of individuals who were given
life readings by Cayce were told that they had been incarnated
during a time in Atlantis, a group of people working with Cayce
decided to get a series of readings devoted solely to understanding
Atlantis. These readings were not given for individuals but for
this group seeking information on this ancient and legendary land.
