answers to some of the biggest questions you could ever ask...Do we
live forever? What?s it like on the "other side"? Can we

a guardian angel save your life? Richard Lawrence explains, with
captivating frankness and authority, what communicating with the
departed is really like ? and how the message of those beyond this
plane of existence is relevant to every single one of us. Unlike

development and meditation...with a balanced and responsible
spiritual approach, combined with enthusiasm and a sense of

array of personal psychic experiences, from channelling poetry to
performing exorcisms, are sure to fascinate any seeker who wants to
know more about the little-understood adventures which await us all
in our journey through spiritual evolution.
In this highly practical guide, acclaimed physical therapist and
international lecturer Daniel Lawrence dispels some of the myths
around cupping therapy and shows how it deserves to be viewed as a
highly credible and versatile therapeutic tool in modern practice
Cupping-an ancient therapy which uses vacuum cups placed over the
skin to treat a wide range of health conditions-appears in one of
the earliest medical textbooks ever written and has been used in
cultures around the world for thousands of years. Though much
maligned by its perception as a "complementary therapy," the
emergence of modern research supporting the use of cupping to treat
musculoskeletal conditions has seen it enjoy a huge resurgence in
recent years. You only need look at the unmistakable cupping marks
visible on Olympic swimmers to see how valued it is within
professional sport. An ancient treatment, a new way Presented with
clear descriptions, color photographs, and QR codes linking to
online video tutorials, Lawrence's approach to dry cupping offers
enhanced treatment outcomes and methods that are more readily
accepted by Western medicine and modern manual therapy bodyworkers.
These are techniques that deliver maximum benefit whilst minimizing
some of the less desirable after-effects of more traditional
methods. Starting with the history of cupping, the book guides you
through the principles of application with illustrated protocols
for musculoskeletal conditions of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee,
thigh, hip, back, shoulder, wrist, hand, elbow, and neck. Whether
you are looking to treat Achilles tendinitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or low back pain, Lawrence illustrates why cupping is a
safe and effective choice of treatment. Where this book differs
from others, however, is that it introduces the concept of using
passive and active movement in a treatment. In this way, cupping
can be viewed as an enhanced form of both massage and exercise
rehabilitation. Couple this with a valuable understanding of how
these techniques influence the nervous system and cupping now
stands up to "evidence-based" scrutiny. This is modern cupping!
Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution.
Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed?
Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions.
With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.

Crop circles are the finest, most beautiful and original art forms
of modem times, and they are totally mysterious. Behind the crop
circle phenomenon is an evident purpose. Some intelligence, human,
alien or spiritual, is in the process of communication. It is
exposing us to a course of re-education, beginning with the symbols
of sacred knowledge and wisdom. The most striking evidence for this
view is the amazing formation that appeared at Crooked Soley in
Wiltshire on the 27th August 2002. Clearly expressed in its design
are certain numerical symbols that are known esoterically as the
'Keys to Creation'. They are also keys to that universal science
associated with the Holy Grail. From time to time it is revealed
again, and when that happens, culture and the human spirit are
renewed and life on earth is restored to its natural state as a
reflection of paradise.
This book is an immersive experience into the delights of foraging in
Spring, written by one of Britain's most respected foragers. Forage In
Spring celebrates the top fifteen edible and medicinal wild plants
found in March, April and May. It's a comprehensive exploration of
their past and present uses as food and medicine. An invaluable
addition to any forager, herbalist, gardener, horticulturist or
naturalist's library, providing plant-lovers with a much-needed
resource to understanding nature's most useful wild plants. Inside,
you'll discover the forgotten story of Alexanders, Brooklime, Cleavers
(Goosegrass), Dandelion, Garlic Mustard, Ground Elder, Ground Ivy,
Plantain, Primrose, Ramsons (Wild Garlic), Sea Beet, Sorrel,
Sowthistle, Stinging Nettle and Violet. Plants have stories that
reconnect us to the Land and the rest of Nature. As our society becomes
ever more disconnected, there is a revivalist movement flourishing like
a rhizome. This ancient path of the forager reconnects us to the vital,
to wildness, to creation, to what is in effect the very pulse of life
itself. One of the most direct ways to experience this is to consume
this wildness. Take it into our bodies, where like a sleeper agent, it
lies dormant until you have eaten enough to change the structure of
your blood, thereby changing your brain and how you relate to the
non-human world. For it is this simple act. The act of taking wild food
and medicine into our body, that in time becomes so transformative.
Forage In Spring is not a harking back to some naive, romantic vision
of how we might once have lived. Instead, these plants' stories are a
way to help you sense into the future and understand our ecological
function (as a species) within the world.

An engaging, authoritative, and accessible guide to using cannabis
for wellness. Including a quick-reference chart to key cannabis
strains and their health benefits, this book is one you'll want to
keep close at hand. Considered "magic" in ancient medicinal
circles, cannabis has a true, documented history of healing. Not
only does it contain the restorative plant nutrient cannabidiol, or
CBD, which is gaining stature as an antidote for various conditions
from pain and nausea to arthritis and post-traumatic stress,
cannabis also carries some 100 other cannabinoid nutrients that
heal, including the once-banished psychoactive but powerfully
medicinal THC. Barbara Brownell Grogan and Dr. Mary Clifton, two
experts on cannabis, give newcomers the crucial knowledge they need
to begin their healing regimen safely. Because different strains
work for different people in different ways, the cannabis plant is
far from "one size fits all." Cannabis for Health discusses the
various types and potencies, and what healing benefits each offers.
It focuses on some high-profile strains--including
power-healers--how they address 30 key conditions, and how they
have served others. As this is neither a cookbook nor a dosing
book, it relies on testimonials by users and physicians to guide
people in their choices.
Forgiveness is about letting go, not forgetting what was done to
you. Are you ready to let go or are you a prisoner within? Amy
thought she had a protective shield; her older brother Josh and her
beloved Mum to protect her from her Dad's drunken rages. One
never-to-be-forgotten night Amy loses them all... Can she ever
trust again? Prisoner Within is a tale of learning to love again
and forgiveness from award winning author Jenny Ford.
Everyone knows the best things in life are free--but it's easy
to forget in a world of continuous commercials and competitive
consumerism. In this witty, inspiring, and beautifully illustrated
book, Alex Quick reminds us how many of the really important things
can be done on less than a shoestring.
