  • - The Lotus Within
    av Andrew (The Estate of Andrew Stableford) Stableford
    526,-

    A unique and essential textbook bridging the gap between herbal medicine therapeutics and orthodox medicine.Based upon a constitutional approach to treatment, The Handbook of Constitutional and Energetic Herbal Medicine is a synthesis of the traditional herbal approach integrated with biomedical constructs.While this holistic approach to treatment may seem incompatible with the biomedical approach, this is largely due to the lack of understanding of the medical interpretation of holism.In fact, the spirit, mind, body axis can be understood in terms of psycho-physiological processes and principles. It is a matter of interpretation and adaptation of principle.This book will appeal to those involved in both complementary and mainstream medicine seeking a holistic approach which is rational and interpretable in biomedical terms.

    The ancient ritual drink used in religious ceremonies and known as soma in India and as haoma in the Zoroastrian tradition is praised in the highest terms - as a kind of deity - in both Zoroastrian and Vedic texts, which date from around 1,700 - 1,500 BCE. It is said to provide health, power, wisdom and even immortality. Many theories have been published about the possible botanical identity of this 'nectar of immortality', a plant which appears to have psychedelic/entheogenic properties.Matthew Clark spent several years researching and travelling widely in his quest of soma. In his fascinating, original and highly readable book, this modern explorer of ancient wisdom reviews scholarly research, explores mythology and ritual and shares his extensive knowledge of psychoactive plants and fungi. The author suggests that the visionary soma drink was based on analogues of ayahuasca, using a variety of plants, some of which can now be identified.Dr. Matthew Clark is a Research Associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London), where he has taught courses on Hinduism. He has spent many years in India, which he first visited in 1977. He first engaged with yoga in the mid-1970s and lectures regularly on yoga and philosophy. He is also a song-writer and musician (Mahabongo).

    av Jean-Claude Lapraz

The book sets out endobiogenic principles and methods, including the modelling system known as the Biology of Functions, and is full of remarkable case histories that attest to the efficacy of this approach. It is aimed both at the general public and at members of the health professions.

    A complete guide to the Buddhist practices of meditation, right living, and everything else you need to knowWho was the Buddha and why did he become such a significant historical figure? What were his most important insights and teachings? What can he tell us about the universality of suffering and the potential for freedom? How can we live a life with growth and harmony and without emotional pain? What is Buddhist understanding of the greater reality? With clarity and simplicity, wisdom and humour, Paramabandhu Groves takes us on a journey towards some answers to these questions.The Buddha's remarkable passage through his own life showed him that ascetic practice in itself did not bring enlightenment, but a careful attention to internal processes combined with a compassionate attitude to self and others could bring an extraordinary freedom from suffering. The mainstay of Buddhist practice is mindfulness of breath, body and emotions leading to a more profound awareness.The Buddha indicated a bigger picture, beyond words, based on the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things. Practical Buddhism shows us how we can use these practices to lead a moral and ethical life, receiving and giving friendship, not causing harm and achieving happiness while our consciousness becomes, brighter, clearer and more subtle. Paramabandhu weaves examples both from his own experience and other people's to demonstrate the value of Buddhist practice and techniques in managing the multiple demands and challenges of everyday life.Practical Buddhism explores:* Mindfulness practice and misconceptions about meditation* Working with troublesome thoughts and difficult emotions* The practice of compassion and kindness* Guidelines for skilful living* Working through stress, relationship problems and addictive behaviour* The meaning of karma and dharma* Understanding freedom, impermanence and non-selfhood* Buddhism and psychotherapy* How Buddhist practice informs our relationship with sexuality, illness and pain, greed and sustainability.

    'The Power Within is a treasure trove of important information for people involved in self-exploration and healing, as well as individuals who facilitate and support their process." - Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of Psychology of the Future, Healing our Deepest Wounds, and The Cosmic Game and co-author of Holotropic Breathwork (with Christina Grof) "Only by accessing the healing and spiritual potential of the power within, which Tav Sparks so eloquently describes, can we respond, both as individuals and collectively, to the challenges involved in the birthing of a globally inter- connected and loving world." - Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) "A sweeping review of contemporary psychological thought through a lens of direct experience... A valuable and innovative book." - Jim Fadiman, author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide"In The Power Within, Tav shares a truth he has taught for decades... there is an Inner Healer within us all that, when met with awareness, cooperation and proper support, propels individuals and collectives into the fast lane for healing, consciousness, and empowerment." - Kylea Taylor, author of The Breathwork Experience, and Considering Holotropic Breathwork"Both healers and seekers will find The Power Within a treasure of hard-won insights and observations from a lifetime of therapeutic work with non- ordinary states of consciousness." - Richard Tarnas, professor of psychology and cultural history, California Institute of Integral Studies "The Power Within conveys the good news that expanded states of consciousness are more readily accessible than many of us may had suspected; in fact, in the right set and setting, expanded awareness is only a few breaths away." - Michael Mithoefer, M.D.

  • - A Complete Guide to Cheiromancy the Western Tradition of Handreading - Revised and Expanded Fourth Edition
    av Dylan Warren-Davis
    376,-

    Cheiromancy is the art of handreading in which all aspects of a person's hand are considered in order to gain an accurate picture of their inner nature. Cheiromancy is distinct from the fortune telling of palmistry. What has come down to us as palmistry today is a rather degenerate and effete form of this ancient discipline. The word cheiromancy comes from the Greek chir meaning `hand' and manteia meaning 'divination', literally meaning 'divination through the hand'. The Hand Reveals is written as a practical guide to reading hands; it is not merely theoretical. As various points are described, through out the book, try to apply this knowledge at every opportunity to find confirmation of the ideas. There is a considerable amount of knowledge and information compressed into these pages, and even the most diligent student would have difficulty in digesting it in one reading. It is recommended that you refer back as often as necessary to go the material you have read, to allow your understanding of cheiromancy to grow gradually. Originally published in 1993 this edition has been revised and updated with new material.

    In 'Woman Desired, Woman Desiring' Dr. Flaumenbaum, a gynaecologist and acupuncturist, draws on more than forty years of experience to explain how women today build their sexuality, why pleasure or even desire is so seldom present, and importantly how to remedy it. Her pioneering approach brings together gynaecology, Chinese medicine, psychoanalysis and transgenerational theory.Despite the sexual revolution of the 1970s, the prohibition of sexual pleasure and joy still exists, carried down from previous generations. Dr. Flaumenbaum explores how this plays out, how sexuality is formed, the difference and complementarity between being a mother and a woman and how love and feelings are not enough to switch on the sexual connection.In 'Woman Desired, Woman Desiring', Dr. Flaumenbaum provides case studies, covering a breadth of topics from gynaecological ailments to inherited social and cultural burdens.
