Coming at the height of America's continuing health-care crisis, Deep Healing brings new hope to every reader. It awakens even the most skeptical among us to the miraculous inborn, self-healing capacities of our mind-body. Dr Miller's message empowers and inspires us. He reveals secrets of self-healing that have now been well established by medical science the world over, yet which are rarely made public. Even more gratifying, he presents information and skills that can put the magic of healing back into the hands of patients, caring physicians and other health professionals. He does this by describing eye-opening research, fascinating healing stories, advanced new skills in affirmative mental imagery, the transformation of disease-orientated perceptions, the writing of positive life scripts and much more.

What happens after we die? Author and award winning filmmaker Richard Martini explores startling new evidence for life after death, via the "life between lives," where we reportedly return to find our loved ones, soul mates and spiritual teachers.

Based on the evidence of thousands of people who claim that under deep hypnosis, they saw and experienced the same basic things about the Afterlife, the book interviews hypnotherapists around the world trained in the method pioneered by Dr. Michael Newton, as well as examining actual between life sessions. The author agrees to go on the same journey himself, with startling and candid results, learning we are fully conscious between our various incarnations, and return to connect with loved ones and spiritual soul mates, and together choose how and when and with whom we'll reincarnate. The author examines how "Karmic law" is trumped by "Free will," with souls choosing difficult lives in order to learn from their spiritually; no matter how difficult, strange or complex a life choice appears to be, it was made in advance, consciously, with the help of loved ones, soul mates and wise elders.

Extensively researched, breathtaking in scope, "Flipside" takes the reader into new territory, boldly going where no author has gone before to tie up the various disciplines of past life regression. near death experiences, and between life exploration.

In the words of author Gary Schwartz, Phd, once you've read "Flipside" "you'll never see the world in the same way again."

You may also know the medical treatments currently available are limited and, for many, ineffective. Current research has shown hypnosis to be an effective treatment for managing chronic pain, and almost all patients who learn self-hypnosis skills benefit from this approach. The hypnosis treatment found in this workbook has been scientifically tested and proven effective for reducing the intensity of chronic pain, including migraines, back pain, and tension headaches, among others. This workbook explains how to use these techniques to manage your chronic pain and take back control of your life and your health.
Used in combination with the program described in the corresponding therapist guide, this workbook teaches you self-hypnosis skills for lessening your pain, enhancing your sleep, and improving your mood.

The complete hypnosis treatment described in this book, alongside the treatment you receive from your clinician, will ultimately teach you skills for pain management that you can use at any time, and for the rest of your life.

"Pain can too easily enslave people, holding them captive in many different ways. It is a liberating theme of empowerment that echoes throughout Dr. Jensen's work: he empowers clinicians to work more knowledgeably and skillfully with people who suffer painful conditions using his therapist guide, and he encourages the suffering individual to break free from pain's grip with the practical pain management skills taught in his workbook. Dr. Jensen's vision for the many ways hypnosis can help reduce the debilitating effects of painful conditions is fresh, inspiring and should be regularly integrated into every pain management program."--Michael D. Yapko, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and author of Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis (Third Edition) and Treating Depression with Hypnosis

The Sears Parenting Library's latest addition is an exploration of how nutrition affects the brains and behavior of youngsters. N.D.D., or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, as coined by Dr. Bill Sears, is based on the idea that if "you put junk food into a child's brain, you get back junk behavior and learning."
Dr. Sears will explore the latest scientific research on the effects of nutrition on the brain. He will present case studies of his own patients who were diagnosed as "N.D.D." and showed major improvement in learning and behavior with diet change. Instead of simply medicating his patients, Dr. Sears looked for a better solution--in fact, with better nutrition, many of his patients were able to greatly reduce or even stop their medication. The book will also provide parents with a prescription, shopping and meal tips, and recipes to make implementing a healthier lifestyle that much easier.
THE N.D.D. BOOK will be a must-have for all parents who want to help their children become healthier, happier, and better prepared to learn.

NUTRITION FROM THE YOGA TRADITION PERSONALIZED NUTRITION Are you frustrated with diets that don't live up to their promises? This life changing book on nutrition unlocks the mysteries of the ancient medical system of Ayurveda and reveals the secrets of this tradition's nutrition. This is the solution for understanding why our current system of nutrition is insufficient for our needs. Not wrong, just incomplete. WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE Determine your unique energy makeup Find out which foods maximize your health See which foods can make you sick(you may be surprised ) Understand prevention of disease through the lens of this science Find out how disease occurs in your body SEEING THE BODY IN A NEW WAY Like the discipline that gives us acupuncture the yoga tradition sees the body not only a groups of molecules forming organs but as an energy field. And like all the ancient great biological energy disciplines of the past, the body was seen as an energy flow that when unblalanced created illness. So the body is both an energy and a molecular field simultaneously and you can use this information to help guide you in your intention to be healthy. You will make better food choices by knowing what your energy pattern is which will improve your health. DISEASE PREVENTION When you know how disease occurs in the body, then you know how to prevent it. Currently our system of healing says that molecule causes disease but the energy science of Ayurveda stated 1000's of years ago that all disease begins by our unconscious food choices that produce energetic imbalances in the GI tract. So disease prevention begins by knowing which foods produce balance and which produce imbalance. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Food intake really counts a lot, and Ayurveda just can't be ignored. After reading Foods Heal, I could understand why certain foods aren't good for MY BODY TYPE. I was able to change the kinds of foods I eat. Now, I feel good and I feel strong. You can feel good, too.

Never happened before and I wish the same experience for every person. The only person who has even ever mentioned this to me is Dr. Bill. I thought this was an impossibility. Now I know I desire to follow his example. And that example has given me health beyond any dream I ever had. Thank you, Dr. Bill. And safe journeys

Kitty Dukakis has battled debilitating depression for more than twenty years. Coupled with drug and alcohol addictions that both hid and fueled her suffering, Kitty's despair was overwhelming. She tried every medication and treatment available; none worked for long. It wasn?t until she tried electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, that she could reclaim her life. Kitty's dramatic first-person account of how ECT keeps her illness at bay is half the story of Shock. The other half, by award winning medical reporter Larry Tye, is an engrossing look at the science behind ECT and its dramatic yet subterranean comeback. This book presents a full picture of ECT, analyzing the treatment's risks along with its benefits. ECT, it turns out, is neither a panacea nor a scourge but a serious option for treating life threatening and disabling mental diseases, like depression, bipolar disorder, and others.
Through Kitty Dukakis's moving narrative, and interviews with more than one hundred other ECT patients, Shock: The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy separates scare from promise, real complications from lurid headlines. In the process Shock offers practical guidance to prospective patients and their families, boldly addressing the controversy surrounding ECT and awakening millions to its capacity to heal.
