A step-by-step guide to getting past childhood abuse without letting anyone off the hook. Every spiritual teacher agrees that forgiveness is essential and beneficial, but few explain exactly how to go about it. Reverend Wild does. She is a survivor of childhood abuse herself, and it is clear she understands the subtleties and specifics of this kind of trauma. But the system she teaches could be used by anyone wanting to forgive any wrongdoing. You may have done a lot of soul-searching and years of therapy, as well as spent hours in prayer, yet you're still haunted by the echoes of abuse. Or you may just be starting to face what happened. No matter what stage you are at, The Art of Forgiveness will help you make peace with the past and take ownership of your own happiness.

This is a book about finding and using your personal power so that you can change your life and the lives of your friends and family. In short, it is self-empowerment made simple. Grace, mountain man, dowser, healer and font of folk wisdom has written this book for three reasons: To inspire readers to imagine what would be possible if you had greater mental abilities; to fully imagine what life would be like if they were able to harness the power of the mind; to convince readers that they have that power within themselves.

In 1972, physicist Russell Targ co-founded the Stanford Research Institutes programme to investigate the development of psychic abilities. In his ten years with this programme, he came to understand that most people have the ability to describe events and locations that are blocked from ordinary perception. Here, Targ explores the scientific as well as the spiritual implications of remote viewing and offers detailed exercises to assist readers in cultivating their own psychic abilities.

The Most Compelling Scientific Evidence for Life Beyond Death Ever Compiled

Evidence of the Afterlife shares the firsthand accounts of people who have died and lived to tell about it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have gathered thousands of accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from all over the world. In addition to sharing the personal narrative of their experiences, visitors to the website are asked to fill out a one hundred-item questionnaire designed to isolate specific elements of the experience and to flag counterfeit accounts.

The website has become the largest NDE research database in the world, containing over 1,600 NDE accounts. The people whose stories are captured in the database span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their stories are as awe-inspiring as they are revealing. Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation--that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.
