When I was kid I can remember numerous times being told that I
needed to change my behavior or I would find myself in prison or
possibly dead. The only challenge that I had was no one could
provide me with guidance or the how to. At the age of 12 I learned
self hypnosis from an audio tape and at the age of 16 I read my
first psychology text book. I joined numerous churches and inquired
into numerous religions. I search from one end of the United States
to the other looking for answers but all I found were doctors and
counselors that would tell me what was wrong with me but not one
person could tell me how to change the direction of my life. I had
been given a diagnosis of bipolar, ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety,
these were to name a few. Eventually, I turned to self medicating
and before long I was told I was an addict. I gave up. Then one day
I had an epiphany. What I had been looking for was right in front
of me. I had been so focused on the negativity in my life I was
overlooking the gifts that were being bestowed upon me. Now you
have the opportunity to discover what I have discovered throughout
my life long search for answers. As you open the pages and begin to
read open your mind and your heart and enjoy the journey. I once
was told that it isn't the destination that's important it's the
journey we learn from.
Artists have always known intuitively what science is just
beginning to discover: that creating a visual image through any
medium can produce physical and emotional benefits for both the
creator as well as those who view it. Most important, you don't
need to think of yourself as an artist or even believe you have any
"talent" to tap into the healing powers of art.
In this remarkable testament to the power of creativity, Barbara
Ganim shows step-by-step how to use art to heal body, mind, and
spirit. By using guided meditation and artistic techniques, you can
gain insight and clarity into depression, anxiety, rage, and even
illnesses, including cancer, arthritis, and AIDS.
At once inspirational and instructive, "Art and Healing" will
teach you how to connect with negative, painful, and even repressed
emotions and then express them through drawing, painting,
sculpture, or collage. Releasing these feelings through the
creative process frees up the immune system and clears the mind,
allowing the body to fight off disease and begin to heal emotional
wounds. Filled with actual stories from those who have triumphed
over adversity and with more than a hundred different pieces of
artwork created using this groundbreaking method, "Art and Healing"
is sure to provide the tools needed for healing body and
spirit.
New Thought proponents at the turn of the 20th century sought to
use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves.
One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age"
philosophy promises here, in this 1913 book, to show the reader how
to cultivate the memory in such a way as to improve one's entire
life. Atkinson's method is not geared to mere recollection of
facts: it encourages a holistically "correct seeing, thinking, and
remembering." With secrets hidden for almost a century, this book
will teach you to train the eye as well as the ear to improve your
ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much
more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was born
in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in
Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious
New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine
New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal
Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New
Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India,
Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under
numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.
Who is God anyway? The old man who created the world in six days
and then took Sunday off, or the one who thinks that a man equals
two women? What if it was us who created God in our own image and
not the opposite? The prolific interpretations of God with their
fear-based distortions support this theory. What if the universal
recipe for life and happiness--or the carrot that donkeys worldwide
are pursuing--were as illusionary and deceitful as the numerous
personas of God? What if both our fear-based constructs of God and
reality were seeded on purpose in order to enslave us in a matrix
of cognitive distortions? If so, who benefits from keeping us
energetically harnessed?
This book explores the true nature of God as a consciousness
that steps down into manifested form through a basic understanding
of the mechanics of co-creation. It also explores the mechanics of
miscreation, along with the inorganic nature and consequences of
fear, including physical phenomena like the formation of black
holes and metaphysical ones like the biblical fall.
A set of tools is provided for those who wish to detangle
themselves from the matrix of fear-based consciousness by
reclaiming their initial state of mastery and godhood and becoming
the architects of their life in this physical realm and beyond.
Information is the highest form of power. From the moment it is
acquired, life becomes entirely magical.
The words are on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't quite remember them. You've been there a hundred times, so why did you take the wrong turn? Outwardly, as people age they may be looking and feeling younger than their parents' generation--60 is the new 40, after all--but mental decline can begin as early as age 30, and it will impact everyone at some point. The increasing rate of dementia is sobering, and the personal, financial, and societal stakes are high.
The good news is, just like diet and exercise can keep aging bodies healthier, the proper mental regimen can slow--even reverse--the deterioration of our mental capacity. In this practical and hopeful book, Dr. Frank Minirth gives readers trustworthy scientific insights, helpful assessments to measure mental sharpness, and proven strategies to preserve focus, memory, and brain power at every age. Each chapter includes brain boosters, exercises, and challenges, as well as engaging personal stories.
