Chakras are psychic centers of subtle energy in the human body, and doorways to a powerful process of transformation. Knowledge of the chakra system comes from the ancient Indian practice of Tantra Yoga. Until modern times, this knowledge was largely transmitted orally from teacher to student. The Chakra Workbook offers a practical and fascinating overview of this ancient spiritual science of physical rejuvenation and spiritual awakening for beginners as well as for devotees wishing to expand their understanding of this subject. With a primary focus on learning by experience, this fully illustrated book features interactive exercises and suggested meditations that help create a more personal approach. The abundance of traditionally based practices will help to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and cleanse the chakra system to promote vitality and well-being.

To the Native American, the word "medicine" means more than a substance to restore health. It refers to a vital energy force available to all who call upon it--and also means "knowledge". This practical handbook of shamanic self-mastery offers a distillation of the ancient shamanic truths of the Native American, blended with wisdom derived from the East and from Europe.

Native Americans had a close affinity with the earth and an understanding of the natural forces which shaped their environment.

They recognised that not only were our physical bodies composed of the elements of the earth but our core personalities also were influenced by seasonal characteristics and by the tides of time governed by the Sun and the Moon. The time of birth was no chance happening of fate, but an indication of personality traits and inherent potentials we were each born with to meet the challenges of life. The key to exploring your individuality is a Birth Totem - an animal representation which indicates the characteristics and attributes which combined together comprise your 'medicine' - your inner power and resources.

Learn how to-
- Identify your own Birth Totem
- Connect yourself to your true potential
- Discover your life purpose and learn how to fulfil it
- Explore all aspects of your life including health and relationships.

A new science of living that will release your hidden potential and creative imagination.

The Sacred History is an account of the workings of the supernatural in history. It tells the epic story of angels, from Creation, to Evolution through to the operations of the supernatural in the modern world. This tale of how people and peoples have been helped by angels and other angelic beings is woven into a spellbinding narrative that brings together Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Elijah, Mary and Jesus, Mohammed, Joan of Arc, the angels who helped Hungarian Jews persecuted by the Nazis, and stories from African, Native American and Celtic traditions. Told from the spiritual point of view, The Sacred History relates every betrayal, every change of heart, every twist and turn, everything that looks like a coincidence, every portent, every clue, every defeat, every rescue moments before the prison door clangs shut. This is the angelic version of events.

Little attention is paid to the skill of thinking. There is a belief that information and intelligence are enough. Intelligence is like the horsepower of a car but thinking is the skill with which the car is driven. There are some highly intelligent people who are poor thinkers and some less intelligent people, who are better at thinking. Edward de Bono, the inventor of the term ‘lateral thinking’, is widely believed to be the world’s leading authority on the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He is the author of over 60 books and his methods are widely used in many countries. He advises multinational corporations and also works with education bodies to enable individuals to maximise their thinking abilities.

Het dikke onderzoeks/reisverslag met honderden foto's, in groot formaat met harde kaft van Weston A. Price, tandarts, onderzoeker, maar bovenal visionair, die in de dertiger jaren bijna 10 jaar lang de gehele wereld over reisde om de geheimen van gezonde mensen te ontdekken. 

Deze zeer gerespecteerde tandarts en tandheelkundig wetenschapper koos ervoor zich te richten op gezonde mensen: wat is hun geheim? 
Op zijn zoektocht reisde dr. Price naar honderden steden in 14 landen. Hij bezocht enkele van de meest afgelegen gebieden ter wereld. Hij zag perfecte tandbogen, weinig of geen tandbederf, een hoge weerstand tegen tuberculose en een perfecte gezondheid bij mensen die hun inheemse voeding aten. 
Dr. Price kwam erachter dat bij deze mensen, als zij in aanraking kwamen met modern voedsel als witmeel, geraffineerde plantaardige oliën en voedsel uit blik, zich al snel ernstige vormen van verval voordeden: cariës, misvormde kaakstructuren, scheve tanden en kiezen, artritis en een lage weerstand tegen tuberculose. Dr. Price legde in woord en beeld zowel de eeuwenoude wijsheid die leidde tot perfecte gezondheid vast, als het lichamelijke verval dat volgde op de overschakeling naar modern, bewerkt voedsel. Een belangwekkende studie, gebundeld in dit boek.

Egodocument van Maarten van Buuren, een intellectueel die in een depressie raakt en in het boek analyseert waar die depressie vandaan komt en wat hem uit de depressie heeft gehaald. De nadruk ligt eerder op die zoektocht dan op de beleving van de depressie. Goed geschreven, vanuit het perspectief van Maarten. Maarten van Buuren schreef het boek als zelftherapie omdat hij wilde weten hoe het kwam dat de machine ging haperen.

Some years ago Lewis Wolpert had a severe depressive episode: despite a happy marriage and a successful scientific career, he could think only of suicide. When he eventually recovered, he became aware of the stigma attached to depression and of how difficult it was to get reliable information.
