A complete reference atlas of acupuncture and acupressure points,
this newly updated guide by renowned shiatsu, qigong, and bodywork
teacher Chris Jarmey with experienced acupuncture clinician Lynn
Pearce illustrates how to best locate and treat nearly 400
acupoints throughout the body. Full-color throughout and abundantly
illustrated, this fourth edition is updated to offer comparisons of
Eastern and Western teaching models as well as new theoretical
material to help instill intuitive understanding for students and
early practitioners of acupuncture. The first part of the book,
"Theory," describes the essence of acupuncture from both
traditional Chinese and Western medical perspectives with chapters
on needling considerations, the principles of locating acupoints,
and myotome, dermatome, viscerotome, and sclerotome maps of the
body. The second part, "Practice," then guides the reader
methodically through acupuncture points of the 12 main
channels/meridians, plus the conception and governor vessels and
additional non-channel points. The locations of nearly 400 points
are described in precise detail and clearly illustrated through
color diagrams, along with explanations of each point's actions,
indications, and contraindications. Honoring the traditional
Eastern roots of acupuncture in parallel with modern approaches of
Western medicine, this book is an essential resource for
practitioners of all levels seeking to deepen their understanding
of working with acupoints.
Zarine Roodt besluit om die Camino Portugués te stap as aanloop tot haar sestigste verjaardag. Maar om dít te kan doen, moet sy eers haar lewenslange patroon van fisieke onaktiwiteit takel.
Tot haar ontnugtering is die Camino nie van begin tot einde die salige en spirituele ervaring wat sy in die vooruitsig gestel het nie.
Maar tog… eers na afloop van die Camino besef sy hoe haar staptog vorm aangeneem het en dat dít ’n psigiese rigtingwyser is: "Vir my is daar maar net één pad, en dis die een wat ek self moet vind."
Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" will be a cornerstone for personal spirituality and self-improvement for years to come, leading readers to a new levels of consciousness and inner peace. Taking off from the introspective work "The Power of Now", which is a number one bestseller and has sold millions of copies worldwide, Tolle provides the spiritual framework for people to move beyond themselves in order to make this world a better, more spiritually evolved place to live. Shattering modern ideas of ego and entitlement, self and society, Tolle lifts the veil of fear that has hung over humanity during this new millennium, and shines an illuminating light that leads to happiness and health that every reader can follow.
Demonic possession. Exorcism. Haunted Houses. Satanic Rituals. For
most people this is the stuff of nightmares, horror movies,
folklore, and superstition. For New York City police Sergeant Ralph
Sarchie, it's as real--and dangerous--as midnight patrol . . . A
sixteen-year NYPD veteran, Ralph Sarchie works out of the 46th
Precinct in New York's South Bronx. But it is his other job that he
calls "the Work": investigating cases of demonic possession and
assisting in the exorcisms of humanity's most ancient--and most
dangerous--foes. Now he discloses for the first time his
investigations into incredible true crimes and inhuman evil that
were never explained, solved, or understood except by Sarchie and
his partner. Schooled in the rituals of exorcism, and an eyewitness
to the reality of demonic possession, Ralph Sarchie has documented
a riveting chronicle of the inexplicable that gives a new shape to
the shadows in the dark.
In "Deliver Us from Evil," he takes readers into the very hierarchy
of a hell on earth to expose the grisly rituals of a Palo Mayombe
priest; a young girl whose innocence is violated by an incubus; a
home invaded by the malevolent spirit of a supposedly murdered
nineteenth-century bride; the dark side of a couple who were
literally, the neighbors from hell; and more. Ralph Sarchie's
revelations are a powerful and disturbing documented link between
the true-crime realities of life and the blood-chilling ice-grip of
a supernatural terror.
When we have positive thoughts the more likely we are to speak with
positive words, words of love, words of kindness, words of
encouragement. Staying positive on a daily basis can be beneficial,
not only to our mind but to our body and spirit. It is all about
self-care, not just the physical, but also mentally.
