Learn the basics of runes and how to use them to reveal the future
and make your life better and more enjoyable. This accessible and
beautifully designed guide includes a frameable poster of runes and
their essential meanings. Runes are the letters of the ancient
Norse alphabet, but each letter contains secret, mysterious

cards, and even chess pieces, runes don't reflect the lives of
historical kings, queens, and courtiers. Instead, they focus on the
legendary gods of the Norse and Saxon peoples, created to explain
the world and its inhabitants. The runes have ancient roots but
continue to offer relevant and down-to-earth messages for those who
possess a basic understanding of them. Rune readings can throw
light on murky situations and offer advice on how solve problems,
move forward in life, and predict the future. To unlock the full
potential of these powerful symbols, you'll discover: the mythology
behind each rune the various meanings of each rune how to lay out
runes in spreads for a rune reading how to make your own runes the
secrets of rune casting and rune magic Read them for yourself or
cast them for friends and family. The more you use them, the better
you'll become at giving accurate readings, earning the respect
accorded to the rune readers of old. Combining elegance and
expertise, this is your essential modern guide to an ancient
tradition. The In Focus series applies a modern approach to
teaching the classic body, mind, and spirit subjects. Authored by
experts in their respective fields, these beginner's guides feature
smartly designed visual material that clearly illustrates key
topics within each subject. As a bonus, each book includes
reference cards or a poster, held in an envelope inside the back
cover, that give you a quick, go-to guide containing the most
important information on the subject.

Whilst the concept of karma is derived from ancient Eastern
religious tradition, the word is very much part of contemporary
vocabulary. We speak of karma in the sense of individuals getting
'what they deserve' - usually in a negative sense. But is karma a
retributive law or is it based on healing and love? --- In his
latest thought-provoking work, Dr Bob Woodward investigates such
issues in conversation with his spirit guides. Beginning with the
most basic question, 'What is karma?', they discuss how this law of
destiny relates to illness, human freedom, relationships and
individual development - but also to major crises on the world
stage, such as the coronavirus pandemic, wars and conflict, global
warming and climate change. They also examine how such key matters
might relate to 'world karma' rather than personal destiny. ---
Bob's spiritual guides speak of the law of karma as being,
'...filled with compassion. It is not a law which makes people or
beings subservient to some almighty and dictatorial power. It is a
law which is generated by love itself, and is there to bring order,
recompense and compassion to all beings and their mutual
relationships.' Karma in Human Life offers answers to many puzzles
and enigmas relating to modern-day life on earth.

"As pragmatic as it is compassionate, this intimate, humorous, and
ultimately relaxing invitation to re-wild yourself, stripping away
all that is not your true nature, will leave you inspired and
curious to discover the wild woman within" (Lissa Rankin, MD, New
York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine). For many
women today, achieving a successful career, a fulfilling romantic
relationship, and a rewarding personal life can feel like an
unattainable goal. The pressure to "have it all" wreaks havoc on
our bodies and emotional well-being, and also creates unrealistic
expectations. Toxic comparisons and the need to perform enforces
damaging ideals of who and what we should be, making it harder for
us to connect with who we really are. But what if there was a way
to break free from these patterns and beliefs? What if you could
free your body from stress and trauma, tap into your inherent
creativity, and connect more authentically with the people who
matter? In this life-changing book, intimacy expert and counselor
Michaela Boehm shares practical rituals and exercises to show you
simple, everyday changes that will revolutionize your connection to
yourself, your life, and your relationships. Beyond the outdated
stereotypes of femininity lies the ancient wisdom of the Wild Woman
archetype, a path to reconnecting with our "body intelligence." In
this book, you will learn to: - Re-wild yourself by connecting to
who you really are and integrating body, emotions, and mind for
powerful expression in the world. - Switch effortlessly between
"doing" and "being," allowing you to access both empowered success
and personal fulfillment. - Unlock creativity and intuition through
understanding how body, heart, and mind can work together. - Engage
in relaxed, body-specific exercises that help you connect with
yourself and your chosen relationships.
"I'll be there in spirit." We say this knowing it isn't really
possible. Yet we often find ourselves dislocated from the present,
inattentive to things in front of us: people, work, culture,
ministry opportunities, prayer, and even the Spirit himself. The
Holy Spirit, however, relocates us in the present, motivating us to
fully engage whatever God puts before us. Instead of relating
narrowly to the Spirit based on just a few of his gifts, this book
broadens our engagement with him, touring aspects of his vast
character that often go unexplored. It turns out, living here in
the Spirit is the source of the most meaningful, creative,
satisfying life possible.
Do you want to be a joyful, more positive you? Tap into your inner
optimist every day with this uplifting collection of motivating
tips, mood-boosting activities, wise words and affirmations. From
moments of delight to long-term emotional well-being, this book
will help you find your happiness.

The Deeper Quest introduces us to philosophical concepts that were
instrumental in developing our Western cultural background and
deciding who we are as a people. Without knowing them we experience
a personal and cultural deficit that is detrimental to present
needs and those of the future. We feel lost, angry, incomplete.
Regaining these concepts places us back on the path of our own
evolution by giving us purpose and meaning. It also allows us to
heal many of our social ills from the base up. Social problems are
merely symptoms that point to our loss. As we correct who we are,
they will naturally subside.
Can psychedelic drugs help us tackle the biggest problems we face
globally? Can they heal the cultural, spiritual, and political
wounds we’re wrestling with? Psychedelics have hit the mainstream
as powerful new mental health treatments. But as clinicians explore

Picture goes further to illuminate how psychedelics can help us
find new ways to make sense of and come through the crises we face
around the world. Drawing on the latest research, as well as his
unique experience as a participant in a ground-breaking clinical
trial investigating the potent psychedelic DMT, Alexander Beiner
reveals: - the role of psychedelics in addressing global issues
such as global warming, geopolitical instability, and political
polarization - the dark side of the ‘psychedelic renaissance’
and ‘psychedelic capitalism’ - what it takes to elicit huge
personal and cultural transformation through psychedelics Embark on
a journey into The Bigger Picture – a new era of science and
spirituality with the potential to radically transform our
perceptions of ourselves, one another, and our life on this planet.
