LIBERATION, Barefoot Doctor

`Freedom is neither elusive, nor exclusive ... it cannot be bought with money, unless you have enough cash for a small deserted island ... but it is within a hand's grasp, just one (barefooted) step away.'

Freedom is found within. Your shackles are your own internal struggle - your angst and anguish, your worries about money, your frustrations, your greed, your self-limiting thoughts, and your fears keep you from being free. But if you're willing to take a chance, to go out on a limb and download this text onto your inner hard-drive, you hold the key to liberation in your hand. As always, Barefoot Doctor offers the full prescription: Taoist healing methods and philosophy, with an added pinch of Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Humanism, and a heavy smattering of timeless Basic Commonsensism. Barefoot's remedies provide the perfect antidote to depression, deprivation, fear, loneliness, shyness, grief, grudges, and all the other unhelpful mind-states life in the post-modern urban spin-cycle throws up. And not only that - it's also a brilliant read!

MANIFESTO, Barefoot Doctor

Manifesto helps you see that you are part of an abundant Universe. Going with the Taoist flow, Barefoot shows you how to appreciate that you already live in the world you've manifested. It's only your thought processes that limit what you can achieve. As well as giving techniques to help you clear limiting thought patterns and Taoist techniques to go with the flow, Barefoot gives you advice surrounding the old adage ‘Be careful what you wish for’. Human beings, he says, are strange characters who always want more... but fear change. So Barefoot provides a few lessons in understanding the paradox of enjoying wanting more than getting.

WIDENING THE CIRCLE OF LOVE, His Holiness the Dalai Lama

As human beings, we are born to love, but we may not know how to do so unconditionally. In Widening the Circle of Love, the Dalai Lama explains how we each possess enormous potential to grow in love. With many personal anecdotes from his own experience, His Holiness offers a practical, seven-step path for expanding our ability to love. Each key step is accompanied by a wide variety of helpful practices and meditative techniques, helping us to nurture a positive attitude to others, restructure our relationships and examine counter-productive emotions without becoming embroiled in them. By moving closer to love, we move closer to enlightenment.

LOVE, MEDICINE & MIRACLES
Bernie Siegel

`We do have biological `live' and `die' mechanisms within us ... the state of mind changes the state of the body by working through the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system. Exceptional patients manifest the will to live in its most potent form...' These are lessons learned about self-healing, written by a doctor who has watched `terminal' patients take control of their illnesses and live. Through the healing power of love, patients who have come under Dr Siegel's care have learned to change, enrich and prolong their lives beyond medical expectation. Dr Siegel's message is that, although none of us know when illness will strike us or those we love, we can do something about it.

REIKI: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT HEALING ART, Chris & Penny Parkes

Chris and Penny Parkes, founders of The Reiki School in Altrincham, were among the first to begin teaching traditional Usui Reiki in the UK. In this book they provide a complete guide to the healing art, exploring the story behind the discovery of Reiki, what to expect from a treatment, how it works and how it can be of benefit. They describe how you can train to practise Reiki and include techniques for using Reiki to increase self-confidence, harness inner power and bring about positive changes. There are also sections on attuning children to Reiki, diet and exercise, combining Reiki with other healing arts, and other applications of Reiki such as asking for unseen help, first aid, dreams, abundance and finding a soul mate. Also included are chapters on Reiki and terminal illness, and Reiki for spiritual growth.

MOON TIME, Johanna Paungger & Thomas Poppe

As the daughter of a Tyrolean mountain farmer, Johanna Paungger grew up immersed in a body of healing knowledge that had been handed down from generation to generation within her family. In Moon Time, she passes on this knowledge. Much of it is related to the effects of tuning in to the phases of the moon and other natural rhythms. However, she also passes on a great deal of healing lore, concerning the use of herbs, colour, movement, bodywork, flower remedies, nutrition and more. Health, she says, is not the only area in which an understanding of natural rhythms can help you. She also reveals the benefits of working with lunar rhythms in the domain of building, maintenance and home improvement.

He also discusses how Reiki works with each of the different chakras. Following the recent discovery of Dr Usui's personal manuscripts, the revised history of the origins of Reiki is included in this book.

CELTIC ANGELS, Donald McKinney

For the ancient Celts, angels were a part of everyday life and were often thought of as a confidant, companion and counsellor all in one. Donald McKinney reveals the secrets of the spiritual world inhabited by the Celts and looks at the role of angels in the lives of the Celtic Druids and Saints. Using the magic and awe of the Celtic past, he also shows how, by working with angels in the way the Celts did, we can enhance our spiritual growth and deepen our contact with the angelic realms.

SYNCHRODESTINY, Deepak Chopra

In Synchrodestiny, Deepak Chopra teaches us to see coincidences as messages about the miraculous potential of each moment. He reveals how, through understanding the forces that shape coincidences, you can learn to live at a deeper level and access the flow of synchronicity that lies at the heart of existence. He writes about `the seven principles of synchrodestiny' and gives you practical techniques for applying those principles in your everyday life. As you learn to recognise the meaning and pattern behind the things that happen to you, apparently by chance, you will become aware of yourself as a part of the divine flow of existence. In this state of expanded self-awareness, you will experience your environment as always positive, always helping you in a synchronistic way to unfold your highest good. In fact you will know, then, that you inhabit a world in which miracles are a daily occurrence. If many people were able to move into this new state of consciousness, says Deepak Chopra, this would result in the simultaneous co-arising of events that would lead to a completely new world.... a miraculous prospect indeed.

THE QUEST OF THE OVERSELF, Paul Brunton

`The final truth is that we are spiritual exiles. The inner world of the Overself is our true homeland and in its deserted shrines alone we can find silent and eternal solace for our hearts.'

The Quest of the Overselfis a classic which we can highly recommend to anyone seeking to discover `the God within'. The detailed, practical information it gives on the spiritual quest has remained every bit as fresh and interesting as when it was first published in 1937. In the first half of the book, Brunton explores the nature of the self, giving us the understanding we need to begin sifting the eternal from the temporal, and to release our attachment to the latter. In part two, Brunton outlines some practices which can help us in our `Quest of the Overself'. These include the cultivation of finer feelings such as devotion, yearning, wonder, gratitude, and peace; paying close attention to our thought-life so as to eliminate undesirable thoughts and foster higher ones; and the practice of self-enquiry. Finally, Brunton explains in depth how to cultivate the state of profound inner stillness and silence in which the voice of the Overself can be heard.

(The material for this pocket book has been selected from previous publications: The Four Noble Truths and The Power of Compassion.)

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, Tony Mitton

Unconditional Love pops up in our life in countless ways - we just need to recgnise it. Though 'unconditional love' has only recently entered our general thinking, its realisation has always been part of the Findhorn Community's work and purpose. In this perceptive, entertaining and very personal book, Tony Mitton explores its implications and applications in everyday life, also clarifying confusions about its meaning. He shows that unconditional love is built into our physical nature and can be given and received by everyone, of whatever faith or even none. He suggests that in our present critical times we need to make it part of us, and the exercises in the book help readers to make it come natrually to them.
