Dodging Energy Vampires - An Empath's Guide to Evading Relationships That Drain You and Restoring Your Health and Power... Dodging Energy Vampires - An Empath's Guide to Evading Relationships That Drain You and Restoring Your Health and Power (Paperback)
Dr Christiane Northrup 1
R312 Discovery Miles 3 120 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Highly sensitive people - or empaths - see life through the eyes of compassion and caring. They were born that way. As a result, they carry a tremendous amount of inner light. But they're also the favored prey of 'vampires' who feed off empaths' energy and disrupt their lives on every level - physical, emotional, and financial. In Dodging Energy Vampires, Christiane Northrup, MD, draws on the latest research in this exciting new field, along with stories from her global community and her own life, to explore the phenomenon of energy vampires and show us how we can spot them, dodge their tactics, and take back our own energy. You'll delve into the dynamics of vampire-empath relationships and discover how vampires use others' energy to fuel their own dysfunctional lives. Once you recognize the patterns of behavior that mark these relationships, you'll be empowered to identify the vampires in your life too. In these pages, Dr Northrup opens up a toolbox full of techniques you can use to leave these harmful relationships behind; heal from the darkness they've cast over your mind, body and spirit; and let your own light shine. In the end, you may find yourself healthier, happier, wealthier and more vibrant than you ever believed possible.

R325 Discovery Miles 3 250 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

This directory provides all you need to know about crystals for the chakras, subtle energy bodies and raising kundalini. There are many more chakras than the conventional seven that have traditionally been in use. As the frequency of the human organism is raised, additional chakras are opening up to assimilate higher dimensional energy. This frequency uplift, and overall well-being, can be facilitated by stimulating the rise of kundalini energy, which in turn can be activated with appropriate crystals. However, spontaneous kundalini awakening can be overwhelming. Fortunately crystals have the answer. This new directory in the A-Z series assists you to identify exactly the right crystal to release any blockages and return the chakras to a state of equilibrium. This will enable the higher chakras to open and controlled kundalini rise to occur.

The Shape of the Soul - What Mystical Experience Tells Us about Ourselves and Reality (Hardcover): Paul Marshall The Shape of the Soul - What Mystical Experience Tells Us about Ourselves and Reality (Hardcover)
Paul Marshall
R1,103 Discovery Miles 11 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

When Paul Marshall began to pay attention to his dreams, he could not have anticipated the transformative experience that would follow. A tremendous expansion of consciousness exposed the insignificance of his everyday self but also revealed unsuspected depths of mind and hinted at a deeper self that holds the universe within. In The Shape of the Soul, Marshall-now a mysticism scholar-draws on personal experiences, along with a wealth of religious, philosophical, and scientific ideas, to explore this deeper self, sometimes experienced in mystical and near-death states as spherical in form. Drawing inspiration from the philosophers Plotinus and Leibniz, Marshall takes mind to be more fundamental than matter and views the basic units of nature as perceptual beings. We ourselves are such beings, striving for fulfilment in a long evolutionary journey of soul-making. Bringing together mysticism, philosophy, biology, and even some physics, The Shape of the Soul offers a deeply integrated vision of the self and the universe. Addressing the mind-body problem, the origin of the world, evolution, reincarnation, suffering, and the nature of God, Marshall delivers what will surely prove an intellectual classic.

Called through her dreams by the Priestesses of Isis, Tricia McCannon set out on a spiritual journey into the Mysteries of the Goddess. After a fateful encounter with a high initiate of the ancient Fellowship of Isis, she began researching the history of Judaism and Christianity to find out how and when the Divine Feminine became lost. She discovered a forgotten age when the Creator was honored as female and humanity lived in peaceful societies completely free of war. She shows how we can return to an age of peace and celestial light if we work to bring the masculine and feminine energies of the world back into balance. Sharing her journey into the heart of the Divine Mother, McCannon details her initiation into the Fellowship of Isis, a process rich with ceremony, ritual, and myths of the Goddess from ancient Egyptian, Celtic, Greek, Hebrew, and Native American traditions. She reveals the many archetypes of the Goddess, including Isis, Ishtar, Brigit, and the Black Madonna, can become our allies for self-transformation. She explores how Mysteries at the heart of Christianity that have remained hidden for nearly 2,000 years and how the Gnostic goddess Sophia is tied to the Second Coming, Mary Magdalene, and the Female Christ. She reveals the lost teachings of Jesus about the Divine Mother and Father and about the Divine Daughter and Son. McCannon takes us on a journey to awaken the creative power of the Divine Feminine within each of us. Equipped with the teachings of the Goddess, we gain the mastery to overcome the deeply rooted masculine-feminine imbalance of the patriarchy and to embark into the future as Homo Luminous, beings of light.

Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons (Paperback): Eugene A. Fersen Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons (Paperback)
Eugene A. Fersen; Introduction by Adrian P. Cooper; Edited by Adrian P. Cooper
R827 Discovery Miles 8 270 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

During the course of my quest for truth, knowledge and nature of reality over the last 40 years or so, considerable valuable inner knowledge has been opened to me from numerous and diverse sources, knowledge which I have since been blessed to share with readers of my books, newsletters and websites. When I recently discovered and started to read Science of Being by The Baron Eugene Fersen, originally made available to very few selected, privileged people in the form of a series of twenty seven individual lessons, I knew at once that these are no ordinary texts. It very soon became apparent to me in fact that this is an extremely profound and important collection of wisdom, knowledge and teachings, and without doubt some of the very greatest I have personally ever seen on these most important matters. Science of Being is not only one of the very first texts on The Law of Attraction ever written, if not the first, it is, in my view, one of the most profound and important texts ever written in absolute terms, written by a true Lightbearer for humanity, and which reach far beyond The Law of Attraction to encompass many other Universal Principles.. It also very soon became clear to me that many of the most well known Law of Attraction and Metaphysics authors must, at least to some extent, directly or indirectly have learned from this great teacher of teachers. No other book ever published on The Law of Attraction however goes as deeply or as clearly as Science of Being. It is now my very great pleasure to make available to you this rare, once almost lost collection of twenty seven lessons including exercises, questions and answers in the form of a single powerful book, that all who areblessed and most privileged to read it may profoundly benefit from its valuable and indeed crucial teachings, your life thus being blessed with health, abundance and happiness, as well as further enhancing your own knowledge of the true nature of the Universe, and the Universal Principles, including The Law of Attraction, which infinitely shape our lives and reality.

A clear and simple manual of precise instructions for accessing the Akashic Records and confirming the accuracy of the information you receive The Akashic Records are a vast domain of energetic imprints much like a movie library, a living vibrational field that stores all possible futures, the present, and the past. As soon as your soul begins its life experience, a field of energy is released that records every thought, word, action, desire, and emotion. In this guide to opening the Akashic Records, Maureen St. Germain provides precise instructions explaining how to connect with your personal Record Keepers, gain clear access to the Akashic Records, discover information about you and your loved ones, and learn your soul's purpose. The author explains how outside energies can influence your connection to the Akashic Records. She details energetic clearing exercises to remove the energies blocking or shadowing your access and teaches the Higher Self Protocol to ensure an authentic channel of communication. She explores how to find the Record Keepers who will be the most helpful to you and provides techniques and tools, such as guided energy work, to prepare you for Akashic Record access, initiate you into the 5D mindset, and invite more accuracy and a stronger connection. She details the specific markers to look for to recognize genuine Akashic Librarians and to validate and confirm the information you receive, rather than simply "trusting" it to be true. She also provides guidance on accessing the Akashic Records on behalf of other people, how to ask questions, and how to handle the information as it comes in. Explaining why the Ascended Masters opened access to the Akashic Records to all of humanity and how their presence assists you, St. Germain shows how the intended purpose for working with the Akashic Records is for soul growth, not to "repair" your karma debts. By seeing your records and working with your Record Keepers, not only will you learn your soul's purpose and help solve the problems that crop up in everyday life and relationships, but you will amplify your spirituality and begin operating at a higher level in consciousness. Your work in the Akashic Records aids and assists in Earth's ascension.

'Like a master attorney, Jens Amberts has marshaled an abundance of virtually irrefutable evidence in making the case for the thesis of his brilliant book, Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists. Basing his argument on four fundamental facts about near-death experiences (NDEs), Amberts has written a book that every serious student of NDEs, and especially skeptics, should be sure to read. On finishing it, I doubt any reader will not be convinced that death is not a dead end.' Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Connecticut, author of Lessons from the Light Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists is a philosophical argument demonstrating why the existence of an afterlife is beyond astronomically likely and hence empirically certain. It explains how we have every rational reason to think that people who have near-death experiences are not only telling the truth, but the book also argues that near-death experiencers are thoroughly justified in knowing that they visited the actual afterlife.

Have you ever wanted to be psychic? To widen your perceptions, hone your inner guidance and be in touch with unseen worlds? Well now you can. Judy Hall draws on more than forty fi ve years teaching psychic development - and a lifetime of being psychic herself - to help you develop your psychic sensitivity and spiritual awareness. This book is a practical, in-depth guide to metaphysics: what it is, how to practise it and the research that supports the idea that there is something more to life than can be accessed by the fi ve senses. In this skilfully structured course in opening your psychic awareness Judy helps you to identify how your inner knowing communicates with you, and to develop your natural psychic ability into a highly skilled, reliable tool. She then takes you to the guidance and psychic connections that go beyond this world including journeying to read the Akashic Record: the cosmic memory bank. Each section is accompanied by practical exercises to hone your sixth sense and build on already developed sensitivity. Drawing on Judy's many years as a psychic, soul retriever and past life regression therapist, this book helps you to avoid the pitfalls of the psychic path and to successfully navigate the challenging psychic situations that arise if things go wrong.

Drawing from multiple disciplines and ranging across the world's cultures, Dr. Metzner goes beyond his roots in transpersonal psychology to uncover universal structures of spiritual transformation. Readers who immerse themselves in these masterful descriptions can catalyze their own process of evolution.

New ThetaHealing handbook for fans of the ThetaHealing teachings by best-selling author Vianna Stibal, exploring step-by-step how to Dig for bottom beliefs and rewire your subconscious thinking for deep and transformative healing.

ThetaHealing is a revolutionary technique developed by Stibal that allows a person to enter into a state of deep meditation, tap into the brain’s Theta waves, and activate incredible healing powers. In the pure and divine Theta state of mind, we are able to connect with the Creator of All That Is through focused prayer, access fascinating knowledge and change not only our own lives, but the lives of others.

When a Belief has been accepted as real by the mind it becomes crystalized as a “Program” and is placed into the hard-drive of the subconscious, where it acts out those Beliefs, whether or not they are positive or negative. The process of Digging for bottom beliefs in ThetaHealing enables us to identify those negative Beliefs and rewire our subconscious, receive positive Downloads from the Creator of All That Is, and achieve deep, inner healing. This book provides the student with the necessary tools to achieve this state of divine healing, and is based on Stibal’s original teachings. It is an essential book for any student of Theta Healing.

My Descent Into Death - A Second Chance at Life (Hardcover, 1st U.S. ed): Howard Storm My Descent Into Death - A Second Chance at Life (Hardcover, 1st U.S. ed)
Howard Storm
R428 R399 Discovery Miles 3 990 Save R29 (7%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Not since Betty Eadie's "Embraced by the Light" has a personal account of a Near-Death Experience (NDE) been so utterly different from most others--or nearly as compelling.
In the thirty years since Raymond Moody's "Life After Life" appeared, a familiar pattern of NDEs has emerged: suddenly floating over one's own body, usually in a hospital setting, then a sudden hurtling through a tunnel of light toward a presence of love. "Not so" in Howard Storm's case.
Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death's door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going "toward the light," he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.
Finally, drawn away from death and transported to the realm of heaven, Storm met angelic beings as well as the God of Creation. In this fascinating account, Storm tells of his "life review," his conversation with God, even answers to age-old questions such as why the Holocaust was allowed to take place. Storm was sent back to his body with a new knowledge of the purpose of life here on earth. This book is his message of hope.
"This is a book you devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it and we were meant to read it."
-From the foreward by Anne Rice
As I lay on the ground, my tormentors swarming around me, a voice emerged from my chest. It sounded like my voice, but it wasn't a thought of mine. I didn't say it. The voice that sounded like my voice, but wasn't, said, "Pray to God." I remember thinking, "Why? What a stupid idea. That doesn't work. What a cop-out . . ."
That voice said it again, "Pray to God " It was more definite this time. I wasn't sure what to do. Praying, for me as a child, had been something I had watched adults doing. It was something fancy and had to be done just so. I tried to remember prayers from my childhood experiences in Sunday school. Prayer was something you memorized. What could I remember from so long ago? Tentatively, I murmured a line, which was a jumble from the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Star-Spangled Banner," the Lord's Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and "God Bless America," and whatever other churchly sounding phrases came to mind.
"Yea, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. For purple mountain majesty, mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. Deliver us from evil. One nation under God. God Bless America."
To my amazement, the cruel, merciless beings tearing the life out of me were incited to rage by my ragged prayer. It was as if I were throwing boiling oil on them. They screamed at me, "There is no God Who do you think you're talking to? Nobody can hear you Now we are really going to hurt you." They spoke in the most obscene language, worse than any blasphemy said on earth. But at the same time, they were backing away.
