Music CD in a Digipack which includes a 16-page booklet which
provides information about the musicians, their philosophy and
their instruments! Music for me can take on many forms. I play for
many reasons, mainly because I love music. I love the high, the
beautiful place it takes me, the feeling during and after I play.
This to me is meditation. Being in the moment and at one with my
own being. No thoughts just allowing the music to come through me.
There are some techniques I use and have discovered on this musical
journey, some of which I will discuss in the next section. Running
time 61 minutes, 55 seconds.

through the common factors inhibiting sensory pathways. These
include conditioning, habit, trauma, anxiety, non-essential thought
and the effect of technique and methodology in teaching. Teachers
will learn about the principles of mechanical freedom in postures
and movement and they will find out about the parallels and
differences between yoga practice and the osteopathic approach to
bio mechanics.The Original Body invites the reader to put aside
Sanskrit terminology and well - trodden paths and dig deeply into
themselves and discover the unconditioned body at its deepest

'My reason for writing this book is quite simple. I want to ask my
spirit guides to tell us of ways in which we may - whilst still
living in our physical bodies on earth - cross over the threshold
that leads into realms of spirit... These are the same worlds that
we will enter after our earthly deaths, and the very same worlds
from which we have also descended into our earthly births.' Working
with his personal spirit guides, Bob Woodward seeks contemporary
methods to gain access to higher worlds, the metaphysical realms of
reality that underpin our existence. In comprehensible language -
accessible to any serious seeker of truth - he presents transcripts
of communications with his guides, each section featuring an
individual teaching followed by questions, discussion and
commentary. The messages he receives contain a sequence of
imaginative, inspiring meditations that enable the reader to
explore worlds of spirit. Reconnecting consciously with these
spheres brings true knowledge of ourselves, allowing each of us to
work as enlightened beings, with greater compassion and
understanding, for the good of the whole world. Following on from
his Knowledge of Spirit Worlds and Life After Death, Bob Woodward's
new book provides vital insights for anyone aspiring to a greater
sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.

The ability to move from the ordinary into an altered state of
consciousness is one of the most valuable skills in both magic and
religion. From the ceremonial magician to the shaman, using trance
work to explore inner realms is essential to the magical process of
healing, transcendence and wisdom desired throughout diverse occult
and spiritual traditions. "Trance-Portation" offers a comprehensive
and multi-spirited way to enter the inner realm. Blending the
modern world with the ancient arts, "Trance-Portation's" first
three chapters, Travel Planning, Crossing the Threshold, and
Getting Started, offer preparatory suggestions including
meditations and relaxations, breathing, warding, shifting gears,
and returning.Drawing on examples from varied traditions, from
Western Mystery to Native American, Ancient Celtic to Eastern
Mysticism, and peppered with folk lore and tales from popular
science fiction stories, "Trance-Portation" explores spiritual
journey work extensively, offering readers the chance to find their
own ways into the inner realm, encounter their own guides and
fellow travellers, and create divine relationships with the deities
and gods and goddesses that they meet. From the book: 'We are all
born with the potential to use our inner senses as well as our
outer ones, to transcend the limitations of the selves we thought
we knew. This is the Way of Power, but rather than seeking power
over others, through this training we seek the power to help others
do the same, and in doing so, to nourish, rather than stunt, our
own souls.'
