In some spaces we feel immediately comfortable, while in others we feel ill at ease. From feng shui we've learned that energy in houses, as well as offices and stores, influences us. Negative energy from violence and trauma can linger, which is what we feel in a "sick" house. Healing Houses shows how a professional cleanses these energies to transform such sick houses into healthy homes. Healing Houses tells how negative energies, overpowering feelings, and physical effects remain in a house from violent and tragic deaths. More importantly, it shows how the negative energy can be resolved and dispelled, so that the house feels like new. The house itself changes as vibrational patterns that have been left by years of negative emotion are cleansed. Healing Houses includes a fascinating case history where recurring attacks by bird and rats stopped after house cleansing. It also provides a sophisticated metaphysical perspective and traces its development through case studies of dozens of the houses that Sheldon Norberg has "healed" or cleansed.

For years, author Sheldon Norberg dealt drugs in the pot hills of Northern California. A scholarship-winning student, he dropped out of UCLA in favor of the overpowering lure of the Grateful Dead and counterculture living. Soon Norberg was making deals and doing drugs all the way from Humbolt to Berkeley. "Confessions of a Dope Dealer provides an eye-opening, no-holds-barred account of Sheldon's life, but it also provides much more. It's a story of how one man's quest for transcendence blinded him to what he really needed: simple human acceptance. As Sheldon grows, he comes to see himself and his drug-addled life in new ways; this in turn allows him to analyze the cultural myths and values that surround drugs in America, producing a provocative memoir with a take on drugs like none other.
