Divine Healing Of Mind & Body

Jane Sherwood

There is probably no stranger nor more controversial book that Jane Sherwood's report, through automatic writing, of the identity of a communicator from the other side of the grave who chose to call himself 'Scott'. 
 
After many years of enforced silence, as a result of a solemn promise given to Scott, Jane Sherwood reveals his true identity, namely, Colonel T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). 
 
Post-Mortem Journal opens at the moment of Lawrence's death when he finds himself lying at the roadside by his shattered motorbike, unaware that he is actually 'dead'. It continues over the years and shows us the development and salvation of a tortured and guilty man who, for the first time, is forced into admitting his weaknesses and vanities during his earthly life and is only now able to come to terms with himself. Such revelations are both harrowing and magnificent. 
 
'As to the validity', says Jane Sherwood, 'of the information contained in "Scott's" journal I can only vouch for my own honesty; what I have received is here set down without addition or modification. The readers must judge of its probability for themselves.'

One Man's Odyssey

Rita Beintema

The Salutation to the Sun dates back to Vedic times and is therefore three to six thousand years old; although the exact date remains unknown. In ancient India yoga exercises, breathing techniques and body contol were extensively practised in many ashrans. The Salutation to the Sun arose from these yoga postures and techniques. 
 
In this book, learn how the Salutation consists of a number of movements which flow into each other and together, form a self-contained whole. 
- The exercise influences every part of the body including the nervous system, the circulation and respiration. 
- The back and pelvis can become supple again and, in time, the joints become stronger and more flexible. 
- The blood circulation in the abdominal cavity improves and the intestines are activated, thus eliminating constipation. 
- Muscular stiffness in the shoulder and neck disappears. 
 
Join thousands of people who enjoy this natural, exhilarating exercise on a variety of levels of competence, fitness and persistence. Equipment and accessories are not needed and you are only asked that you spend as much or as little time as you can spare. 
 
By participating you will soon begin to experience the return of your vigour and dynamism.

Salutation To The Sun

A Daily Exercise for a Vital Life

Dorothy Shepherd

Dr Dorothy Shepherd offers a guide to the medicinal treatment of first aid. 
 
For years she followed obediently the recognised, well-troden paths of antiseptic and aseptic wound treatment, with little or no medicinal aid, other than those already mentioned. She then had the opportunity to study and apply first-aid methods in surgical outpatients, private practice and a munition factory in the First World War and the later a minor ailment clinic. 
 
She gave up entirely the old methods and with the help of a devoted staff applied these comparatively new homoeopathic ideas which have proved successful.

Homoeopathy For The First Aider

Geoffrey Keyte

Awareness of, and interest in, the therapeutic properties of crystals have grown enormously in the last few years as users have discovered the wide range of their beneficial effects. 
 
From his experience as Founder of The Crystal Research Foundation and Director of Crystal 2000, Geoffrey Keyte is able to explain electrocrystal therapy, and to detail healing methods, massage and relaxation. There are also insights into the origins of crystal therapy and its application to yoga and the chakras. 
 
With none of the obscurity which so often accompanies works on crystal healing, this book will be of immediate interest and benefit to New Age discoverers and all concerned with a balanced natural therapy for a healthy self.

The Mystical Crystal

Expanding Your Crystal Consciousness

Christine Page

Dr Christine Page invites us to embark on a journey of self-discovery by stepping into the 'Mirror of Existence' where we will find that our own thought processes direct our outer experiences. 
 
She inspires us to 'tune in' on the higher frequencies of intuition and inspiration so that our creative impulses have maximum benefit for all concerned. 
 
Her thought provoking writing and illustrations help us to recognize reflections of ourselves which, until now, were masked; including the beautiful spiritual being who waits within and whom we have so much difficulty acknowledging. 
 
Her book, as a mirror, guides us towards wholeness. All we need are the eyes to see and willingness to enter the experience.

The Mirror Of Existence

Stepping into Wholeness

Judy Howard

John Ramsell

The Flower Remedies discovered by Dr Edward Bach, MB, BS, MRCS, LRCP, DPH, are now used extensively throughout the world. They have earned themselves a highly respected reputation and many books have, over the years, been written on the subject to compliment Dr Bach’s own Heal Thyself Healers &amp; Other Remedies which represent the culmination and final record of his life’s work. 
 
Throughout his career, Dr Bach wrote many papers and literary compositions and this book provides a collection of his most inspirational work. It has been compiled with a great deal of thought and careful respect for his wishes. This book gives readers an opportunity to share his most uplifting and inspirational writings and stories, many of which have been reproduced in their original long-hand. Also included are character portraits by his friends and colleagues, some early photographs, letters and his own recorded case histories. Collectively they provide a wonderful insight into Dr Bach’s thoughts and precise intentions for the future of his work. 
 
This book, compiled by the curators and trustees of the Dr Edward Bach Healing Trust, offers a most enlightening and intimate appreciation of this great physician.

Arthur Guirdham

This book describes how a group of people, who had lived and suffered together in the 13th century, re-assembled in the 20th century in a limited area in the west of England. 
 
Independently of each other these people tuned in, with the piercing accuracy of searchlights, to the same tragic events in the Languedoc in the years 1242 to 1244. 
 
One of the most remarkable features of the book is the description of sketches made by a child of seven. It is clear that in these she too was remembering the same tragic years. 
 
Of this circle of people alive in the 20th century, the author has discovered the mediaeval names and roles of seven of the eight involved. 
 
Though born with a highly developed critical faculty the author regards the material revealed to him as unique. He has written this book to record faithfully an astounding experience and to fulfil the obligation laid on him to provide proof, not only of group reincarnation, but of the indestructibility of the human psyche.

We Are One Another

This book describes what befell the author when she set out to try to contact her husband. She was not in touch with anyone who was qualified to advise or warn her, and throughout many years endured frustrating, misleading experiences and dangers of which she had been innocently unaware. 
 
If for no other reason, this book should be valued for the advice given to all who pursue psychic investigation. 
 
Subject matter includes descriptions of the active, progressing life 'beyond', analysis of the human entity - ourselves - i.e. descriptions of the four bodies or modes we all have, reincarnations, and the esoteric order within our solar system. 
 
With characteristic humility the author describes her book as a 'starting point' for others to work from.

The Country Beyond

The Doctrine of Re-Birth

Phyllis Speight

The author Phyllis Speight remembers having pneumonia when she was four years old, and suffering chest colds for many years before being introduced to homeopathic treatment, long-standing effective remedies. 
 
In Coughs &amp; Wheezes she guides us through the details of forty of the most important remedies for respiratory troubles, chest colds, coughs, bronchitis and asthma. In addition the book contains instructions on how to find the correct remedy, potency and dosage, make homeopathic treatment accessible for everyone.

Coughs & Wheezes

Their Treatment by Homoeopathy

H C Moolenburgh

In 1981 a sermon was given in Leiden in which the minister called angels, 'a forgotten group'. This book is an attempt to recall a forgotten group into the memory of everyone. 
 
We read so much these days about matters concerning the underworld, that we are inclined to forget that an enormous 'upper world' stretches out above us. A world which is also extremely active, and one which is increasingly beginning to intrude. In A Handbook of Angels the author recounts his survey of four hundred people and the spectacular results, which include reportings of real-life sightings of angels. 
 
It becomes apparent that, though we may have forgotten about angels, they have not forgotten about us. They are returning to human consciousness on a gigantic scale.

A Handbook Of Angels

Johanna Paungger

ABOUT THIS BOOK.... 
 
The success of any plan depends not only on the availability of the necessary skills and resources, but also very decisively, on the timing. In former times people gathered knowledge of axioms such as this by direct observation. They discovered that numerous natural phenomena are directly related to the movements of the moon 
 
Johanna Paungger is one of ten children of a Tyrolean mountain farmer. She belongs to the select few in whose environment this wisdom was kept alive for centuries handed down from one generation to the next. 
 
For the first time this knowledge is now made generally available. 
 
This book has an abundance of tips and advice to do with all the important areas of our daily life, from health, the home and nutrition to farming, forestry and gardening. In Germany it has been a massive best-seller for several years. 
 
Patience is the only thing necessary to profit from this book. Working with the lunar cycles and natural harmonies can change your life.

The Application of Lunar Cycles in Daily Life

Dr Dorothy Shepherd had wide experience both in Harley Street and in clinics in the poorer parts of London. 
 
Although she had leanings towards homoeopathy during her student years, it was not until she visited Dr J.T. Kent in the U.S.A., and experienced great benefit from this therapy that she fully adopted this method of treatment in her practice. Having embarked upon a career as a homoeopath she studied the subject deeply and the more she learned the more she became convinced that it is the finest method of dealing with every type of ailment. 
 
Being a true healer she believed that every sufferer should know of homoeopathy and in order to make it more widely known she began writing a much acclaimed series of books, the best known of which is Magic of the Minimum Dose and this book, More Magic of the Minimum Dose.

Aromatherapy During Your Pregnancy

Rene Maurice Gattefosse

Here is the missing link in Essential Oil literature, the first modern work written by the man who coined the word 'Aromatherapy.' 
 
In July 1910 René- Maurice Gattefossé discovered the healing properties of lavender oil after severely burning his hands in a laboratory explosion. This led him into a lifetime of research into Essential Oils. 
 
His remarkable book was first published in 1937 and has been out of print for many years. Now translated, it has been edited by Robert Tisserand, author of three books on aromatherapy (including the best-seller, The Art of Aromatherapy), editorial adviser of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine and editor of The International Journal of Aromatherapy. 
 
The book is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern knowledge and aromatherapists will find it an essential tool of reference. Extensive notes are provided by Robert Tisserand at the back of the book. 
 
Chapters include those on human smells and animal smells, toxicity, the properties of essential oils and their constituents, the treatment of many diseases, and over fifty case studies from doctors.

Gattefosse's Aromatherapy

Allegra Taylor

Allegra Taylor has journeyed throughout the world in a quest to understand how healing works. She chronicles her own gradual acquisition of healing skills as she explores a whole range methods and ideas. 
 
She discovers that the healer is essentially a catalyst, not a magician. That health is much more than mere absence of disease. That the power to heal is one face of the power to love. That anyone can do it.

Your Word Is Your Wand

Dr Dorothy Shepherd had wide experience both in Harley Street and in clinics in the poorer parts of London. Although she had leanings towards Homoeopathy during her student years, it was not until she visited the world-famous Dr J. T. Kent in the USA, and experienced great benefit from this therapy that she fully adopted this method of treatment in her practice.

Being a true healer she believed that every sufferer should know of Homoeopathy and in order to make it more widely known she wrote Homoeopathy for the First Aider which gives simple instructions for the treatment of injuries and common ailments. 
 
This book was an immediate success and she then decided to record her experiences in dealing with more serious illness and this book, The Magic of the Minimum Dose followed.

Magic Of The Minimum Dose

Impressive case histories by a world famous Homoeopath demonstrating the superiority of Homoeopathy

Dick Wilson

At times many of us experience at a very deep level, a conflict between our self and our soul. This lack of harmony between our spiritual purpose and the material life we lead could be one of the main causes of chronic illness. 
 
Dick Wilson's direct involvement over many years in healing, homeopathy and the Bach Flower Remedies has given him a unique insight many do not encounter. His close observations and experiences in this field suggests to him that the lack of inner contentment and the state of one's spiritual health are the hidden factors that trigger chronic or even terminal illness. 
 
In this book he describes why we become ill, and how permanent healing can take place.

Oliver Cowmeadow

Developed from a traditional form of Japanese massage, Shiatsu is based upon the same philosophy and medical theory as acupuncture and other oriental healing methods. Literally translated, Shi-atsu means "finger pressure", but practitioners also use their palms, knees and forearms, and employ stretching techniques. These combine in a simple but effective form of treatment used to promote health and general well-being, as well as to cure illness and prevent future problems. 
 
In this straight-forward step-by-step guide, Oliver Cowmeadow introduces us to the ways in which Shiatsu can be beneficial to both the person giving and person receiving. 
 
Shiatsu: A Practical Introduction clearly explains: 
-The role of energy in Shiatsu 
-How to give the full body Shiatsu treatment 
-How to eat an energetically balanced diet to promote health 
-How to treat simple health problems with Shiatsu 
-Methods of oriental diagnosis 
-Common uses of acupressure points 
-Energy balancing exercises for yourself 
 
Oliver Cowmeadow has been teaching Shiatsu for more than 20 years and is the founder and principal of the Devon School of Shiatsu.

An Introductory Guide to the Technique and its Benefits

Alex Maunder

A basic definition of the Alexander Technique would be how to perform every activity or maintain every posture with the minimum amount of energy. The Alexander Technique teaches us how to release unnecessary muscular tension and realign the posture as we perform our everyday activities. 
 
Over 100 years ago E.M. Alexander pioneered his concept of Body/Mind unity. This is the first book to explain the Alexander Technique in terms of energy flow and how we can direct energy with our thoughts. It is also the first book to look at the psychological and spiritual implications of the Alexander Technique and how we can work with our innate Body Wisdom for inner guidance.

Brian Snellgrove

How to See Auras and Use Them for Diagnosis and Healing

In many parts of the world there is a gathering groundswell of women seeking to reclaim their own direct experience of spiritual vision. The Goddess has become one of the most potent images of our time. Women are personally and collectively recovering their voices. 
 
Ladder to the Moon is a journey of discovery - meetings with women, like the author herself, who are asking, "What happened to the feminine aspect of the Divine? Was it ever there? If it was, can we reclaim it and come in from the cold? How can a woman, discouraged by the misogyny of most religions, begin to find a meaningful path?" 
 
The book is warmly personal and anecdotal - an Everywoman's search.
