Sue Meikle has always been obsessed with picture books, and after working as an Early Years Specialist for over 25 years, she has read stories to children from Stockport to South Africa. In schools, in early years centres, while on forest school adventures... Sue has even read stories on a travelling play bus! So, perhaps it was always in the stars for Sue to not just read books, but write them, too! When she's not reading or writing stories, Sue can be found walking her dog or chauffeuring her teenagers around the Greater Manchester area (because that’s where they live… in a home that they made from a derelict barn!)

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.

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.

This book is a thorough and yet straightforward guide to the Bach Flower Remedies and how to use and understand them. It is written in the language of our time while it retains the timeless clarity of Dr Bach's work. This book is thoughtful and yet easy to read. 
 
The Bach Flower Remedies are a simple and natural method of healing which works with the emotional state of a person rather than the physical illness. They act to harmonise and balance the personality, to counteract such things as irritation, fears and guilt which Dr Bach saw as the real cause of illness and unhappiness. 
 Julian Barnard is director of Flower Remedy Programme and Healing Herbs Ltd, one of the companies who make flower remedies in England. He also works as a writer and teacher, living with his family in rural Herefordshire

A Guide To The Bach Flower Remedies

Judy Howard

Bach Flower Remedies is a system of natural healing for the relief of negative attitudes and moods which not only hinder one's enjoyment of life, but are regarded as contributory factors in the cause of physical and emotional suffering. 
 
They were discovered during the 1930s by the late Dr. Edward Bach, an eminent physician who devoted his life to the cause and cure of disease. 
 
The result of his life's work were 38 harmless remedies made from nonpoisonous plants and herbs of the countryside, each pertaining to aspects of human nature, personality and states of mind. The Bach Flower Remedies have deservedly earned themselves a reputation of excellence and are now used extensively throughout the world. 
 
Growing Up with Bach Flower Remedies shows how the system of healing can help babies, children and adolescents during the turbulent years of youth. The book takes the reader through all the stages of childhood, including developmental progress, illness, schooling, behavior, puberty, examinations and the various other milestones when emotional support is needed. 
 
Growing Up with Bach Flower Remedies is a book designed for parents, but also makes an excellent source of reference for therapists, teachers, nursery nurses, grand-parents and guardians - anyone who has an active interest in caring for children of all ages.

Wanda Sellar

The story of frankincense and myrrh runs in tandem with man's evolution. Their use in so many varied ways has accompanied man and woman through the uncertain and often stormy path of life. 
 
Once prized as highly as gold, frankincense and myrrh's use in perfumery suggested an exclusivity as do the celebrated perfumes of today. But they offered much more than mere aesthetic delight. At times they were a life-line to spiritual and physical health and well-being. 
 
Over many centuries the use of frankincense and myrrh pervaded a wide range of societies and religions. The caravan trails for this valuable cargo have disappeared but these aromatics continue to be valuable commodities both in the East as well as in the West. 
 
Frankincense and Myrrh continue to excite the imagination and are probably the most famous aromatics of all time. Their appeal and magic will never die and this book explains why.

Whether you are an aromatherapist or an astrologer, a beginner or experienced, this book will set you on the road to bringing these two ancient arts together. 
 
For thousands of years healers have observed that both people and plants respond to the annual cycle of the heavens and used this knowledge to help in their work. Even the smallest knowledge of astrology can help you do the same. 
 
Simply knowing an individual's star sign can guide your choice of essential oils to help yourself, your family, friends or professional clients. What is your Signature oil? How do the Sun, Moon and Planets affect your health? How can you use a birthchart to make unique, personalized blends for pleasure or treatment?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Disease Signs in the Iris is intended for those who already have knowledge of the basic principles of irisdiagnosis. Part 1 is a translation from the German of the original work on iris interpretation by Theodor Kriege: Krankheitszeichen in der Iris. The disease signs are considered and explained as shown in original iris photographs. With few exceptions the conditions depicted have been confirmed by special methods of diagnosis, such as radiographic and blood investigations, as well as by the findings of surgical operations. The monochrome photographs especially highlight the structural changes and contrast values. The original text has been translated by A.W. Priest, and in Part 2 he correlates the iris findings with appropriate herbal and biochemical medication.

First Steps In Aromatherapy

David V Tansley

This book explores the interface that exists between the human energy field and the Universal Field of energy in which we live. It shows how these fields can be utilised for distant diagnosis and treatment. 
 
It also illustrates that the surest and most effective way to ameliorate a defect in any biological system, is to modulate the interacting and interdependent energy fields by way of the chakras. 
 
The same energy fields can be used to take photographs of distant objects, particularly the energy structures of living human tissues and pathological states existing in them. The vibratory patterns and potencies of homoeopathic remedies can also be drawn from the ether-fields and impregnated into neutral substances such as water or alcohol solutions which have a capacity for memory. 
 
Radionics is a healing art that links the physical world with the unseen worlds lying beyond the physical senses. Diagnostically it probes to the levels of causation of disease; therapeutically it is gentle and non-invasive.

Radionics Interface With The Ether-Fields
