Everyday Magic for the Modern Witch

Deepak Chopra

Rudolph E. Tanzi

Heal yourself from the inside out 
 
Our immune systems can no longer be taken for granted. Current trends in public healthcare are disturbing: our increased air travel allows newly mutated bacteria and viruses to spread across the globe, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria outstrip the new drugs that are meant to fight them, deaths due to hospital-acquired infections are increasing, and the childhood vaccinations of our aging population are losing their effectiveness. Now more than ever, our well-being is at a dangerous crossroad. 
 
But there is hope, and the solution lies within ourselves. The Healing Self is the new breakthrough book in self-care by bestselling author and leader in integrative medicine Deepak Chopra and Harvard neuroscientist Rudolph E Tanzi. They argue that the brain possesses its own lymphatic system, meaning it is also tied into the body’s general immune system. 
 
Based on this brand new discovery, they offer new ways of increasing the body’s immune system by stimulating the brain and our genes, and through this they help us fight off illness and disease. Combined with new facts about the gut microbiome and lifestyle changes, diet and stress reduction, there is no doubt that this ground-breaking work will have an important effect on your immune system.

Supercharge your immune system and stay well for life

‘Illuminating…on the cutting edge’ Jon Kabat-Zinn 
 
'Byron Katie has rocked my world and shaken loose my mind more thoroughly than any other spiritual teacher I've ever encountered' Elizabeth Gilbert 
 
How Asking Four Questions Can Free Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Turn Your World Around 
 
In A Mind At Home With Itself, bestselling author and founder of The Work, Byron Katie explains that emotions such as sadness, anger and resentment come from believing our negative thoughts. But when we learn to question those thoughts, they lose their power. And when this happens, our minds are free to turn towards others and ourselves with a spirit of generosity. 
 
Byron Katie gives hugely popular workshops every year all over the world, in places like churches, prisons, universities, schools and corporations. She speaks at organisations like Facebook and Stanford University and is also involved with a programme for cancer patients. Charismatic and compassionate, there’s good reason why The Times has called her events ‘riveting’, and Time magazine has named her ‘a spiritual innovator for the new millennium’.

A Mind at Home with Itself

Finding Freedom in a World of Suffering

Emily Esfahani Smith

'Life-transforming' Susan Cain, author of Quiet 
 
Searching for happiness is overrated, learn to find meaning instead 
 
There is a persistent myth in our culture that in order to lead a fulfilling life we must pursue happiness at all times. In her groundbreaking work, Emily Esfahani Smith explains that it is actually the search for meaning that will bring fulfilment. She argues that meaning is all around us in vast untapped resources, and that the key is finding it in the right here, right now. Her inspiring TED Talk on the same topic has been viewed over a million times. 
 
To explore how we can change our lives for the better, she draws on the latest research in psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as insights from figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and the Buddha. She shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery, can immeasurably deepen our lives. To do this she visits remarkable people and places, such as a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and a drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit. She explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning.

The true route to happiness

Christine Page

Intuition is our wise, compassionate friend who helps us to clarify decisions, to avoid unpleasant situations and to access the deeper levels of awareness. But beyond this, the intuition awakens us to ourselves, leading us on a journey of enlightenment until we eventually merge with our essential being. 
 
The various stages of the pilgrimage are reflected in stories from the author's own life and encourage us to expand our consciousness from the state of "hoping", through the phase of "believing" until we experience the undeniable "knowing". 
 
Following many years of fulfillment in the caring professions, Dr Christine Page has become a highly respected international teacher bringing her inspirational talents to the psycho-spiritual field.

Beyond The Obvious

Bringing Intuition into our Awakening Consciousness

Keith Hagenbach

"The cure of a part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul and if the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the mind... this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body that physicians separate soul and body". 
 
So said Plato in circa 400 BC. 
 
This Workbook was developed from Dr Page's internationally renowned and respected "Spirit in Practice" course for orthodox and complementary practitioners. The aims of this course are: 
 
* To enhance understanding of the Mind/Body relationship 
* To enable people to reduce stress levels 
* To raise awareness of subtle energies and their effects 
* To encourage people to awaken their Inner Healer 
 
Readers are offered a rich variety of exercises, meditations and guided visualisations, designed to raise their awareness of the connection between our thoughts, emotions and personality traits, and our health and well-being on all levels.

Seven Secrets of Mindfulness

How to keep your everyday practice alive

Following the terrorist attack in New York on September 11, Deepak Chopra addresses the feelings it caused in all of us: fear, the meaning of death and how to find your "higher self" under catastrophic circumstances. The sort of questions he asks are: is there a deep wound at the heart of humanity? Will revenge salve this wound or aggravate it? He also comments "if you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world." 
 
Although this book has grown out of a tragedy that has affected us all, its spiritual message is also of general application in situations where one might be feeling extremely vulnerable, frighteningly angry, deeply sad and trying to make sense of a terrible situation.

The Deeper Wound

David Hare

Do you want to be happier? Find inner calm? Enjoy a rich and rewarding life? Here's how... The Buddha in Me, the Buddha in You combines the tried-and-tested wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism with the best of popular psychology and personal development, making this a brilliant guide to how life works, and how to get the most from it. 
 
Nichiren Buddhism differs from other Buddhist schools in its focus on the here-and-now, and places great importance on individual growth as the starting point for a better world. This, combined with powerful techniques such as NLP, mindfulness, journalling and coaching, makes The Buddha in Me, the Buddha in You the quintessential handbook for happiness. 
 
'Buddha' simply means someone who is awakened - yet while Nichiren Buddhists will find fascinating insights into their practice, there is no need to follow a spiritual path to benefit from this book. Through his experience as an internationally acclaimed life coach and practising Buddhist, author David Hare shows us how to wake up to our own potential and that of those around us – to discover everyday enlightenment.

Buddhist Reflections on Life

Marianne Williamson

Prayer is practical, Marianne Williamson tells us, and Illuminata brings prayers into our daily lives, with prayers on topics from releasing anger to finding forgiveness, from finding great love to achieving intimacy. There are prayers for couples, for parents and for children, prayers to mend broken relationships and prayers to overcome obsessive and compulsive love. 
 
There are prayers to heal the soul, prayers to heal the body and prayers for work and creativity. Another section includes rites of passage, ceremonies of light for the important events in our lives: blessings of the newborn, coming of age, marriage and death. 
 
'Read my prayers or someone elses's' Marianne Williamson says. 
 
 'By all means create your own.' 
 
Illuminata is a way to bring prayer into practical use, creating a sweeter, more abundant life for yourself and the people you care about. 
 
'No conventional therapy' she says, 'can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace this is not of this world.'

Illuminata

Ronald C Davison

Ronald C Davison (1910-1985) was one of the pioneers of modern astrology. His knowledge of astrology was profound as there was virtually no aspect of it that he had not studied in depth. While his work was based in a scholarly tradition, he built upon classical knowledge to take astrology to new levels. It is no wonder that many of his writings continue to be recommended as set texts by astrological societies the world over. 
 
In The Technique of Prediction, Davison looks at using a system called Secondary or Arabian directions to determine astrological trends and predict future events. With its analysis of features such as transits, progressions and directions, this book is essential reading for the advanced astrologer, yet written with a clarity of thought and supported with carefully selected examples that will make it accessible to the novice.

Technique Of Prediction

Takashi Yoshikawa

Ki is the ancient Chinese divination system which holds that life is determined by a combination of three hidden energies: earthly, heavenly and human. By understanding how these fields work and discovering our own special energy numbers, we can learn to harmomise our lives with the people and events that surround us. 
 
Your energy numbers are determined by your birth date. THE KI shows you how to work out your individual pattern of numbers - and how these special numbers hold the key to the secrets of your life and those of your family, friends and lovers, from uncovering the nuances of relationships to predicting the future.

David Charles Manners

This is the remarkable true story of a young man's initiation in the Himalayas. David Manners was trekking in Nepal when he stumbled upon the mountain home of a jhankri, or Nepalese shaman. The jhankri accepted David as his pupil, and so began the next stage of David's extraordinary journey, in which he embarked upon an adventure that was more challenging and, ultimately, life-affirming than anything he could have imagined. 
 
In Limitless Sky, David shares the wisdom and insights he learnt from those transformational days in the Himalayas. These include practical guidance on how to live a full and fearless life, how to find happiness and how to live in ways that nurture both ourselves and others. As David reveals, the life lessons he learned amongst the mountains of the Himalayas could benefit us all today.

Christopher Titmuss

In an awakened life, our hearts are open, steady and purposeful. Most people today have a greater income, as well as more goods and labour - saving devices, than any other generation in history. Yet stress, discontent, personal and social problems abound. Drawing on the deepest discoveries of the Buddhist tradition, well-known retreat master, Christopher Titmuss, suggests we spend far too much time in superficial preoccupaions and not enough in looking deeply into things. He urges us to fearlessly transform the forces of desire and dissatisfaction that haunt our daily lives - and to awaken to the Immeasurable. Inspired by the 20th Century classic, Zen Mind, Beginner's mind, he gives practical advice on such subjects as: understanding our feelings , taking risks, becomming more detached and rediscovering our true selves. And he shows us how to have free, fulfilled and uninhibited lives amidst the frenzy of everyday activity.

An Awakened Life

Using Everyday Experiences for Inner Fulfilment

'Marianne Williamson reveals, with elegant simplicity, that love is not a mere sentiment of emotion, but the ultimate truth at the heart of creation' Deepak Chopra For millians of Westerners, the quest for material gain has led to increasing frustration and unhappiness. Now, says spiritual philosopher Marianne Williamson, our hunger for worldly gain has been transformed, for many of us, into hunger for spiritual renewal. What we deeply long for most is the experience of paradise. In this inspiring new work, Williamson explores different aspects of the power of that vision - the possibility of the highest love made manifest on Earth - in a series of reflective essays accompanied by prayers and meditations. Topics include the power of faith, innocence, being seen, forgiveness, blamelessness, healing, surrender, serenity, beauty and unity. For people seeking to enhance their lives, Williamson's insights lay the groundwork for spiritual evolution and fulfillment. Her practical advice will guide readers towards a place where passion, creativity and freedom - most important, the freedom to express and infinite love - are recognised not only as the soul's most potent desire, but also as the ultimate destiny of the human race.

Enchanted Love

Denise Linn

We are shaped by our past. The way we preceive the world is a direct result of the influence of our immediate family, our ancestors and our cultural roots. In this inspirational yet down-to-earth book, lecturer and healer Denise Linn shows us how to draw upon the wellspring of ancestral wisdom that dwells within us. She also suggests how to identify and heal the negative aspects of this inheritance, to avoid passing the mistakes of the past onto those who come after us. SACRED LEGACIES offers a remarkable blueprint for the times ahead. By following the many practical ideas within, we can create a legacy of hope, love and joy to be handed down through the generations - and into the future.

Sacred Legacies

Robert Moss

Introducing a unique 9-step approach to understanding dreams, Robert Moss shows how to use your dreams to understand your past, shape your future, get in touch with your deepest desires and be guided by your higher self. He explains how to apply shamanic methods, most notably from Australian Aboriginal and Native American traditions, to any and all practical and spiritual challenges. Moss's approach is easy, effective and entertaining, animated by the skilful retelling of his own dreams and those of his students - and their often dramatic insights and outcomes. 
 
According to Moss, some shamans believe that nothing occurs in ordinary reality unless it has been dreamed first. In the dreamscape, we not only glimpse future events but can also develop our ability to choose more carefully between possible futures. CONCIOUS DREAMING'S innovative methods of dream-catching and transpersonal interpretation, of dream re-entry and of keeping a dream journal enable the reader to tap into the deepest sources of creativity and intuition - and make better choices in the critical passages of life.

Who am I? 
 
How we respond to this common human question is of vital importance to our happiness and well-being, for it is only by understanding that we are a part of nature that we can gain a real context for our lives. Drawing upon the techniques of mindfulness, ancient Buddhist wisdom and recent discoveries in evolutionary science and psychology, Wes Nisker offers us a deep understanding of our co-existence with the elements, sunlight, sea, plants and animals. Through meditations and reflections on this universal truth, he helps us to a greater self-awareness - and thereby to increased freedom and happiness.
