THE HEALING POWER OF THE SACRED WOMAN

Health, Creativity, and Fertility for the Soul

By Christine R. Page, M.D.

From recognizing the fundaments of who we are, to meeting our ancestral grandmothers and listening to the wisdom of our bodies, this book will help women to reconnect with their roots, identify suppressed feelings, heal wounds and heal our inner selves so we can be even better women to others.

Deep healing begins when we agree to be true to ourselves and realize we have the power and choice to change and re-create our own circumstances. Harnessing negative emotions and nurturing positive ones can be a first step towards adjustments in our lives, bringing us closer to fulfillment, both on a spiritual and physical level.

Filled with practical analogies, you will explore the depth of emotions and perceptions and learn to reconnect by examining the ancient, historic and proven examples throughout the ages.

ACUPUNCTURE AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH

Bridging the Gap Between Western and Eastern Medicine

By Dr. Kathleen Albertson, L.Ac. PhD, Holistic Nutrition

Starting with a comprehensive comparison of the differences between traditional Western Medicine versus Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as basic treatment protocols, we are introduced to different approaches toward treatment of women’s health issues.

By empowering women to consider several treatment options, they are encouraged to recognize and overcome health disorders that may not be even identified or misunderstood.

This ambitious book covers all aspects of TCM, in a language that is easily understood, even for those who find medical terms a challenge. Discussed are vital substances, like the Qi and blood, acupuncture (as well as what to expect during a visit) menstrual irregularities, fertility and pregnancy. Illustrations and charts are provided for all the major systems of the body, including some statistics, studies and a complete glossary of all the terms/issues discussed.

THE LAW OF DIVINE COMPENSATION

On Work, Money and Miracles

By Marianne Williamson

There are numerous reasons why successful people flourish. When we lack faith in ourselves in a financial context, we create and perpetuate the negative circumstances that we hope to avoid. Conversely, if we have faith in what can go right in our financial lives, we are able to receive miracles. Every thought is a cause that produces an effect. Our ability to think about something in a different way, gives that idea the power to create something magical.

Successful people often carry with them an optimistic aura of destiny. This book is about attaining that “something else” that will align you with the positive side of the universe. By putting love first as an intention, we learn who we are and we believe that we are entitled to miracles. Positivity breeds upon itself thereby allowing us to create wealth and work miracles.

THE REALITY AND SPIRITUALITY OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE

By Marshall Vian Summers

Interactions of civilizations in our region of space, the challenge of facing a non-human universe, and the spiritual dimensions of all intelligent life that has evolved since the beginning of time are all detailed and discussed here.

This book is meant to be a key to a new chapter in our human experience that includes the realization of trade, travel and conflict in our regions of space, the birth and death of civilization across the stars, as well as a greater plan and purpose over spiritual life in all galaxies.

We are introduced to a concept of the Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe, the notion of visitation by other galactic races, the limitations of space travel, and the concept that we’re not productive in engaging with other nations, but perhaps we could be, if we engage the possibility of our evolution in space.
