How To Heal With Singing Bowls:
Traditional Tibetan Healing Methods
by Suren Shrestha (Author)
The expanded edition of this popular book will include 20 new techniques for using singing bowls, covering the use of one or two bowls for treating conditions such as insomnia, neck and shoulder tension, and muscle cramps throughout the body.
Other new material includes methods for using the bowls with yoga postures, massage, and heated herbal therapy packs to increase energy flow and balance, and promote relaxation. There will be 20 new photographs to illustrate the techniques. This remains the only book on the market with step-by-step instructions for the therapeutic use of these bowls. Much of the new information in this edition was requested by readers of the first edition and students in the author's many classes.
No book on the market has the detailed, step-by-step instructions for ancient Tibetan healing bowl techniques that this one has. The healing methods are all illustrated with photographs showing how to place and strike the bowls, so that anyone can learn how to do it.
Some of these methods have been taught to only a few Eastern practitioners, and are now spreading to the West where there is considerable interest in them.

A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field
by Barbara Brennan (Author)
Jos. A. Smith (Illustrator)
With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential.
Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves.
This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances.
Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It offers:

The Chakra Experience:
Your complete chakra workshop in a book
by Patricia Mercier
The seven chakras allow life energy to flow into our aura and are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. Healers observe that the majority of dis-ease is caused by an energy imbalance in our bodies, usually a reduced flow of pranic life-force throughout the chakras.
This fascinating book and CD provide you with a personalized, practical and direct experience of chakras and their powerful healing properties. Going far beyond a reference guide, The Chakra Experience is more like a personal tutor, explaining how to work with your chakras and access benefits such as improved health, stress reduction and spiritual development. Featuring case studies throughout, this holistic, integrated and practical guide is your own personal chakra workshop in a book.
Along with basic and more advanced exercises, the accompanying CD of Music will help you to relax and understand the transformative potential of the chakras. Journaling sections throughout the book record your progress to make sure you never lose touch with the discoveries and insights you have enjoyed.

Healing Messages from the Animal Kingdom to Help Mankind and the Planet
by Madeleine Walker
Imagine being in the ocean, eye-to-eye with a 40-foot whale. Then imagine if you could 'hear' what it has to say! This is what happens when a newly divorced, 50-year-old, single mum embarks on a spiritual journey across several continents in search of wisdom and healing from animals and spiritual power points.
THE WHALE WHISPERER is Madeleine's extraordinary tale of her adventures in Egypt, Arizona, the Rocky Mountains, Mexico, South Africa and India, where she battles to reclaim her personal power while communicating with incredible wild animal teachers, such as elephants, humpback whales, bears, lions, dolphins and a giant manta ray. In turns moving, empowering and entertaining, THE WHALE WHISPERER includes practical ways to implement the knowledge given to Madeleine by these animals, such as using light crystals for healing, communicating with wild creatures and tuning in to the energy of the planet.
The more she channels the wisdom of the animals, the more she is driven to convey these vital messages to raise awareness and to help save mankind and the planet.
Going beyond the standard pet communication book, this adventure delivers messages from many different wild and sacred animal species. Voices of the white buffalo, the humpback whale, the white lions of Timbavati South Africa, orcas, and bears all speak through the author, who embarked on a spiritual journey across several continents in search of this wisdom from animals. In turns moving, empowering, and entertaining, it includes practical ways to implement the animal knowledge, conveying vital messages to help save humanity and the natural world.

The Medicinal Power of Cannabis:
Using a Natural Herb to Heal Arthritis, Nausea, Pain, and Other Ailments
by John Hicks
It's no surprise that marijuana has healing powers, but whether or not using it to treat common ailments should be legalized continues to be a hot topic of debate among government leaders and medical practitioners alike. Marijuana comes from the cannabis plant, an herb whose leaves can be extracted and used as a recreational drug, allowing users to feel a euphoric high. But the cannabis plant has many non-psychoactive properties as well. Cannabidiol, also known as CBD is a substance extracted from the cannabis plant that has been proven to have all the healing powers of marijuana without the psychoactive properties.
With over thirty years of experience in integrated holistic health, Dr. John Hicks presents here his extensive knowledge and research. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Hicks touches on an area of holistic health that many medical practitioners have over looked in the past. He begins by explaining the root cause of most diseases—inflammation—and then illustrates how inflammation progresses into the various diseases and ailments that plague us. Finally, he shows how CBD can stop the inflammation and heal the problem.
CBD has been shown to help:
Anxiety
Alzheimer's disease
Seizures
Huntington's disease
Nausea and vomiting
And much, much more
With information ranging from easy-to-understand terminology to scientific studies based on Hick’s decades of experience in integrative medicine, this book has a little bit of something for everyone, from your typical hypochondriac to the seasoned medical practitioner.

The Book of Joy - Lasting Happiness in a Changing World
Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Douglas Carlton Abrams
Two great spiritual masters share their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of adversity.
The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.
From the beginning the book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: their own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal. Now that they are both in their eighties, they especially want to spread the core message that to have joy yourself, you must bring joy to others.
Most of all, during that landmark week in Dharamsala, they demonstrated by their own exuberance, compassion, and humor how joy can be transformed from a fleeting emotion into an enduring way of life.

The Spy
A novel
By Paulo Coelho
In his new novel, Paulo Coelho, best-selling author of The Alchemist and Adultery, brings to life one of history’s most enigmatic women: Mata Hari.
HER ONLY CRIME WAS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN
When Mata Hari arrived in Paris she was penniless. Within months she was the most celebrated woman in the city.
As a dancer, she shocked and delighted audiences; as a courtesan, she bewitched the era’s richest and most powerful men.
But as paranoia consumed a country at war, Mata Hari’s lifestyle brought her under suspicion. In 1917, she was arrested in her hotel room on the Champs Elysees, and accused of espionage.
Told in Mata Hari’s voice through her final letter, The Spy is the unforgettable story of a woman who dared to defy convention and who paid the ultimate price.

Roads Less Travelled: Ultimate Braai Master (Second Season)
By Bonello, Justin and Lombard, Helena
This is the ultimate book for every guy or girl that’s ever lit a fire – whether you’re still battling to get your mates to give you the tongs, or have already got yours … gold-plated.
We’re talking about the braai and it happens all across South Africa, no matter what the weather, because our social get-togethers just wouldn’t be the same without it: it’s that build up before the big match or the aftermath of a great party. Not only is the braai part of the genetic blueprint of our country, but for some of us it has become a national obsession – and for Justin Bonello, chefs Marthinus Ferreira and Bertus Basson and 50 crew and friends, South Africa’s favourite pastime was the perfect excuse they needed to hit the backroads on a bumpy 8000-km, 62-day open fire adventure.
Based on the second season of the home grown television series, The Ultimate Braai Master, it’s a must-have if you are all about friends, the outdoors and creating memories around seriously good food.

Developing Intuition by Shakti Gawain
This is an audio book, unabridged – 3 c.d.’s.
On special for / sale price of R149.
Developing Intuition Audiobook, practical guidance for daily life.
The complete book on CD
Everyone is born with intuition, but most of us learn to discount, ignore or even fear it. By consciousness movement pioneer Shakti Gawain teaches readers how to tap their innate inner knowledge and use it to enhance their lives and attain their goals.
Everyone has had moments when they simply "knew" something. Sometimes they follow these thoughts, and sometimes they ignore them. In her first new book in several years, Shakti Gawain guides readers in becoming more attentive to these inner "voices" and using them to determine their choice and life's directions. She also explores the role of intuition in health, creativity, career and work, and prosperity. Exercises based on Gawain's workshops and seminars help readers interpret their inner guides but also evaluate the worth of these impulses in the context of the real world. Stories from her clients and her own life illustrate the practical advice she gives.
Most of us learn as young children to suppress these unexplained impulses and use our logical mind to solve problems. According to Shakti Gawain, this is a mistake. By becoming more attentive to these inner voices we can learn to recognize the choices and directions that are right for us as individuals, even if they seem illogical at the time we choose them.Developing Intuition isn't just about listening, however. One of Shakti's gifts is to carefully evaluate these unexplainable experiences and demonstrate how they can be used within a context that not only listens, but also questions. This program explores the role of intuition in health, creativity, career and work, prosperity, and spirituality. Practical exercises throughout help listeners tap into their own inner guides and evaluate the worthiness of these impulses in the real world.

The Elephant Whisperer
by Lawrence Anthony
When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'rogue' elephants on his reserve at Thula Thula, his commonsense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival - notorious escape artists, they would all be killed if Lawrence wouldn't take them. He agreed, but before arrangements for the move could be completed the animals broke out again and the matriarch and her baby were shot. The remaining elephants were traumatised and very angry. As soon as they arrived at Thula Thula they started planning their escape...
In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.
The Elephant Whisperer is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad memoir of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, Anthony's unrelenting efforts at animal protection and his remarkable connection with nature will inspire animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.
