The modern practice of medicine and psychology grew out of the
ancient Greek healing tradition, said to be founded by Asklepios,
god of healing and dreams. For two thousand years the system spread
all over the Mediterranean world and planted the roots of Western
medicine and psychology by offering ritual and holistic practices
that recognized that healing begins at the soul level. Yet, since
that time, the spiritually based practices were cast aside, leaving
behind only the scientific medical techniques that dominate
healthcare today. Resurrecting and restoring the sacred,
mythological, and cultural origins of medicine and psychotherapy,
Edward Tick, Ph.D., explores the soul-healing practices missing in
our contemporary health systems. He looks at the dream incubation
tradition of Asklepios, sacred theatre of Dionysos, oracle gifting
of Apollo, special practices of warriors, and their roots in
Neolithic shamanism and indigenous traditions. Demonstrating the
ritual use of dreams, visions, oracles, synchronicities, and
pilgrimage for healing and connecting to the transpersonal and
divine, he explains how dream incubation is a technique where you
plant a seed for a specific healing or growth goal in order to
facilitate dreaming and work toward soul restoration. Using both
ancient wisdom and modern depth psychology alongside stories of
healings from his more than 25 years of guiding Greek pilgrimages,
Tick explores how we can use ancient healing philosophies and
practices to achieve holistic healing today. He examines the
interaction between mind and body (psyche and soma) and between
physical illness and the soul. He explains the art of making
accurate and holistic interpretations of signs, symbols, and
symptoms to determine what they reveal about the soul. Showing how
dreams and other transpersonal experiences are essential components
of soul medicine, the author reveals how restoration of the soul
facilitates true healing.

Simply written, and with a view to taking the wisdom of Confucius
out of the hands of the academics and the philosophers and making
it accessible to the general reader, Confucius From the Heart gives
us a contemporary Confucius, one who can teach us how to attain
spiritual happiness, adjust our daily routines and find our place
in modern life. Yu Dan argues that his sayings, or Analects - far
from being merely interesting quotes from ancient lore, of little
use in our hectic, stress-filled world. Instead, they are simple
truths that can speak to each and every one of us and help us lead
better, happier, calmer lives.
Forensic pathologist Janis Amatuzio began recording the stories
told to her by patients, police officers, and other doctors because
she felt that no-one spoke for the dead. She argues that the real
experience of death - the spiritual experiences of those near death
and their loved ones - was being ignored.
