RECLAIMING LIFE AFTER TRAUMA addresses both the physical and psychological expressions of

The liver is key to the optimal health of the body. Shouldering the heaviest responsibility for keeping the body's internal terrain clean, the liver not only filters toxins and cellular by-products out of the blood like other excretory organs, it, also, neutralises poisons, microbes, heavy metals and carcinogens. By supporting the liver, we support the health of the entire body. In this practical

Named after a mythological Inuit sea woman, the planet Sedna was first discovered in 2003. Its return to our solar system after 11,000 years of orbit has been tied to the huge tsunami that struck Indonesia, Thailand and India in 2004 as well as to the increased occurrence of other marine and weather events over the last decade. And just as it is affecting the waters of our planet, Sedna's energies

According to a recent study, over 20 percent of men and 35 percent of women experience acne after the age of 30. At the same time, remote indigenous societies - such as the Inuit before they “moved to town” in the 1960s - experience no acne at all, even among their teenagers. Many things have been cited as causing acne, from sugar, chocolate or pizza to dirty pillowcases, hormones or genetics, but

A newly revised and updated edition of the classic guide to reframing our view of ADHD and embracing its benefits.

One of the first rules of child-rearing is “condemn the behaviour, not the child.” Yet this common sense rule doesn't seem to apply in the case of attention deficit disorder, or ADHD, where the very name of the condition implies that those labelled with it are “disordered,” “deficient,” and incapable of paying attention. Those with ADHD grow up wounded, told by teachers, guidance counsellors, even

Remote healing is healing over space and time. Often called “nonlocal healing,” it is no longer a magical occurrence or a mysterious technique reserved for powerful shamans. Remote healing has moved from magic to science and it can be learned. In this practical guide to the Sagi method of information medicine, Maria Sagi, Ph.D., reveals that nonlocal healing is a quantum science that works through
