James Van Praagh is a spiritual medium--someone who is able to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Unaware of his spiritual gifts until he was in his twenties, he slowly came to terms with his unique abilities. In addition, many of his sessions with grieving people who came to him looking to contact the spirits of deceased loved ones are explored. From a devastated mother recieving a message of hope from her deceased little girl to communicating with a young man, killed in Vietnam, who doesn't realize he's dead, the theme of hope and peace in the afterlife is affirmed. Van Praagh also helps the reader recognize and positively deal with the pain of grief in a healthy, honest manner. Part spiritual memoir, part case study, part instrumental guide, Talking to Heaven will change the way you perceive death...and life.

A comprehensive guide to crystals and their powers Birthstones have been used for millennia for luck, protection and wisdom. Traditionally, crystals and gemstones were linked to specific astrological signs because their energies resonated. The discovery of new crystals has opened the way for a deeper connection, and each star sign now has many crystals associated with it. This comprehensive guide describes the crystals linked to each sign and explains how they can be used to enhance self- understanding and personal growth. Crystals can be used for profound soul growth, to overcome challenges or for guidance on everyday decisions. For each astrological sign, there are past-life patterns to be dissolved and wisdom to be regained. The use of appropriate crystals facilitates this process. In addition to explaining the links between crystals and both sun and moon signs, Judy Hall's Crystal Zodiac gives instructions for laying out and working with a crystal zodiac mandala.

El tema de los fantasmas, lo desconocido, lo sobrenatural o paranormal a muchos nos causa curiosidad, a otros, temor. Muchos piensan que los fantasmas son un mito porque no les ha tocado de cerca o por el temor a lo desconocido. Otros opinan que son una realidad, porque nos ha tocado vivirlo de alguna manera: una puerta que se cierra sin que nadie la haya tocado, un escalofrio que recorre nuestro cuerpo sin explicacion alguna, un olor que te recuerda a alguien muy cercano pero que ya no esta en el plano terrenal y asi sucesivamente. Para otros es simplemente una fantasia inventada por personas que lo que desean es publicidad. Lo cierto es que existe un hilo muy delgado que nos une con el mundo de los espiritus. La autora Blanca A. Torres en este, su segundo libro, nos relata historias veridicas tanto personales como de personas amigas a las que les toco su cita con el mas alla. Personas comunes y corrientes que jamas pensaron experimentar un suceso que los marcaria para siempre. La visita a un hospital puede ser un encuentro con lo desconocido, una casa embrujada habitada por espiritus puede causarte alguna tension, hablar por telefono con una persona fallecida puede ser perturbador, una reina de belleza que se sube a un taxi y se baja sin pagar y un hotel encantado son algunas de las historias que nos hace pensar que la vida no termina con el proceso de la muerte.

Why do so many people believe in an Invisible World behind this one? Scientists a parallel universe? Religions an afterlife? Others 'just something'? Perhaps for observations we cannot explain? Some are psychological, e.g. the nature, storage, and conveyance of the information implicit in 'ghosts', hunches, premonitions and hypnosis; and some are material - the behaviour of particles on a very small scale in physics laboratories. Each hints at spatial or temporal derangement. Space and Time are the indivisible foundations of physics. Everything that exists has a location and duration; physics concerns nothing without both. We can suppose the universe bound not by a physical framework of space-time but as containing within itself all Space and all Time - with a little more besides. Another world is not a baseless idea.
