Anyone can be a witch! Perfect or not, who cares at the end? The irony of the title lies exactly in that: today, to be a witch is not to be perfect, but rather to look at the world differently, to be aware of the power of nature, and to use it for personal benefit. A book for modern witches that wants to be also, and especially, a way to empower the reader, to not homologate to other people's judgement: it includes 50 moments to be a witch, seeking personal strength and uniqueness. This book introduces to magic as a tool for personal growth: from the most intimate and personal situations to the public and social ones, every moment is the right moment to let go of the ordinary in favour of magic. A book that can make us change our point of view on what surrounds us, the people and ourselves, thanks to a witchlike (or a simply boundaries-free!) approach
We're all searching for answers to the biggest questions. How to be good? How to find calm? How to properly grieve? How to beat FOMO? How to work out what truly matters? Well, good news is that the wisest minds in history asked the exact same questions - and they found answers. Their ancient philosophy of Stoicism can show us that we today are in fact already in possession of the very tools we need to excavate this much-needed wisdom for ourselves. So into the past we go with Brigid Delaney, to a time not unlike our own: one full of pandemonium, war, plagues, pestilence, treachery, corruption, anxiety, overindulgence and, even then, the fear of a climate apocalypse. By learning and living the teachings of three ancient guides, Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, Brigid shows us how we can apply these lessons to our modern lives in a way that allows us to regain a sense of agency and tranquillity. Stoicism can be tough medicine to swallow, but not here-this book is awash with insight, humour and compassion. Timely and so very useful, and filled to the brim with ways you can wrest back control, here are all the reasons not to worry.
Who did you talk to about sex when you were a kid? If you're a Millennial, chances are your answer is "nobody." In this all-inclusive look into a man's world, author Michael McPherson shines a light on what it was like for the men of his generation to mature sexually, and why so many still haven't. He explores what's currently in the way of men experiencing an empowered relationship with sex and what they can do to take back their power. Along the way, Michael brings to light some of the less understood nuances of sex including sex energy, sexual desire, and the purpose of sex. Captivating, rich, and heart-wrenchingly vulnerable, Everything You Never Learned About Sex is a revolutionary blueprint for men to deconstruct their inherited relationship to sex, step outside the cultural norm, say 'no' to the further manipulation of their sex energy, and rebuild a relationship with sex on the basis of love instead of fear. Michael, through his self-reflective insights, on-the-court shares, and 'how-to' embodiment practices, empowers his audience to reclaim their stolen innocence, restore their heart, honor sex as sacred, and use their sex energy to create more love in the world.
A guide to the basics of Biofield Tuning, using tuning forks to clear trauma stored in the human energy field. When Eileen McKusick began offering sound therapy in her massage practice she soon discovered she could use tuning forks to locate and hear disturbances in the energy field, or biofield, that surrounded each of her clients. Passing the tuning forks through these areas in the biofield not only corrected the distorted vibrational sounds she was hearing but also imparted consistent, predictable, and sometimes immediate relief from pain, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, depression, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, and a host of other complaints. Now, more than 20 years later, McKusick has fully developed her sound healing method, which she calls Biofield Tuning, and created a map of the biofield, revealing the precise locations where specific emotions, memories, ailments, and traumas are stored. In this book, McKusick explains the basics of Biofield Tuning practice and provides illustrations of her Biofield Anatomy Map. She details how to use tuning forks to find and clear pain and trauma stored in the biofield and reveals how the traditional principles and locations of the chakras correspond directly with her biofield discoveries. Exploring the science behind Biofield Tuning, she examines scientific research on the nature of sound and energy and explains how experiences of trauma produce “pathological oscillations” in the biofield, causing a breakdown of order, structure, and function in the body. Offering a revolutionary perspective on mind, energy, memory, and trauma, McKusick’s guide to Biofield Tuning provides new avenues of healing for energy workers, massage therapists, sound healers, and those looking to overcome chronic illness and release the traumas of their past.

America's top psychic medium reflects on his life of speaking to Spirit and the lessons he's learned along the way-from both the living and the dead. Matt Fraser is just an ordinary guy...who happens to talk to dead people. Born into a psychic family, Matt carries on the legacy passed down from his late Grandmother Mary by connecting people to their dearly departed loved ones and delivering messages from the other side. His sold-out live group readings, television appearances, and private readings have allowed him to bring hope and healing to fans from around the world. But people who are not in the habit of talking with the dead have a hard time imagining what his day-to-day life is like. Based on the questions he gets, they seem to think he spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving his physical body behind as he journeys across the veil to the spirit realm. But it's not like that at all. Now, in When Heaven Calls, Matt opens up about it's really like to be a psychic medium-including how he discovered his spiritual gift, what it's like to connect with souls on the other side, what communicating with the dead has taught him about embracing life, and how you can tap into your own intuitive awareness to manifest your dreams, goals, and desires.

So, get ready for a thought- provoking and remarkable true story of a naive couple pitted against one of the world's financial giants in a decade- long legal battle which will evoke amazement and horror at the lengths corporate avarice will go to. David Vs Goliath is nothing on the even more amazing fight-back from Denise and Michael, two determined and relentless individuals. However, there is much more to this story than meets the eye. Denise's desperation transforms her into a survivor...a bona fide juggernaut and force of nature who refuses to take 'no' for an answer. In a story which smartly mixes unflagging inspiration with humour, it slowly becomes clear that in her drive to win her case, her uncanny ability to uncover hidden evidence has far greater implications. Denise's life journey will demonstrate her extraordinary and proven ability to unlock the past, expose the present, and see the future when, in a dramatic twist, the story showcases a terrifying warning to us all. For the past 36 years Denise has foreseen an atomic WWIII looming, and now it is just a few short years away - unless we all make our voices heard and demand that those with power turn back from the brink. The future of the planet is in our hands and time is running out.

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.

Lachman's description and analysis of his own experience introduces readers to the uncanny power of our dreaming minds, and reveals the illusion of our careful distinctions between past, present and future.

What's more, they'll discover how they can use these ancient treatments themselves to cope with dozens of diseases, from ADHD to diabetes, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease and beyond. Through engaging language and accessible explanations, Ancient Remedies for Modern Life offers readers everything they need to know about getting, and staying, healthy - without toxic, costly synthetic drugs. |
