Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong, Volume 2 Qi Cultivation Principles and Exercises
Written by Bruce Frantzis

Trade Paperback, 250 pages | North Atlantic Books | Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity); Health & Fitness - Healing; Health & Fitness - Alternative Therapies | $23.95 | 978-1-58394-661-9 (1-58394-661-6)

This 1,500-year-old self-healing exercise strengthens the immune system, mitigates chronic illness, prevents and heals cancer, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves focus and well-being. Dragon and Tiger medical qigong is based on Chinese medicine's acupuncture wellness model. The practice consists of seven movements which regulate and strengthen all of the acupuncture meridians of the body.

Grounded in the ancient spiritual traditions of Taoism and Buddhism, Dragon and Tiger medical qigong is known for its powerful ability to prevent and heal cancer and reduce the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong: Volume 1 taught students the physical movements. Volume 2 teaches students how to take their practice to the next level and more effectively reap the health benefits for which this qigong practice is renowned:

• Releases stagnant chi that cannot move freely due to physical, emotional, or psychic blockages of energy.
• Increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids, balancing the body's energy.
• Quickly raises the energy levels of the body to boost its natural healing capacities.

Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong: Volume 2 teaches how to cultivate and direct the flow of qi in the body and make the feeling of qi tangible. Qi, or "internal life-force energy," is the foundation of acupuncture and all Chinese medicine. The stronger the qi moves, the greater the health benefits of qigong will be.

Once the feeling of directing qi becomes tangible, the principles can be applied to other internal martial arts such as tai chi and other qigong practices such as sexual qigong.

Practitioners of healing arts will find this book valuable as a means for becoming sensitive to qi energy in themselves and others. Healers will also learn how to get rid of stagnant qi buildup and thereby avoid burnout when working with other people's energy.

Quantum-Touch 2.0 - The New Human Discovering and Becoming
Written by Richard Gordon, Chris Duffield, Ph.D. and Vickie Wickhorst Ph.D.

Trade Paperback, 264 pages | North Atlantic Books | Health & Fitness - Alternative Therapies; Health & Fitness - Healing; Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity) | $19.95 | 978-1-58394-364-9 (1-58394-364-1)

Quantum-Touch 2.0—The New Human endeavors to significantly enlarge the possibilities of what humans can be and do. In clear, step-by-step instructions, the reader will learn to easily demonstrate that human limits are as yet unknown.

Readers can learn to do healing on multiple people at once to reduce their pain in minutes, work on multiple conditions at once, help people shift their own beliefs with the use of energy, and work across time and space. Readers will even learn to safely and visibly adjust the posture of multiple people simultaneously without touching.

Science assumes that we are separate, and that our thoughts don't affect the outer reality. This notion is something that each of us can now clearly demonstrate to be untrue.

The originator of the Quantum-Touch energy healing method and a popular workshop leader and speaker at conferences and holistic health institutes, Richard Gordon has been developing and refining Quantum-Touch since the publication of his best-selling Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal. Gordon shares his discoveries in this new book, which takes Quantum-Touch to a far more powerful level.

To enrich the book with scientific insights and commentary, Gordon sought out coauthors Vickie Wickhorst, PhD, and Chris Duffield, PhD. As academics investigating the convergence of science, technology, and the power of the human energy field, Wickhorst and Duffield serve as perfect guides to help readers, even skeptical ones, uncover their own process of discovery.

This book is a must for all world travelers!

Taoist Sexual Meditation by Bruce Frantzis

Taoist Sexual Meditation Connecting Love, Energy and Spirit
Written by Bruce Frantzis

Trade Paperback, 488 pages | North Atlantic Books | Body, Mind & Spirit - Sacred Sexuality; Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity); Health & Fitness - Sexuality | $24.95 | 978-1-58394-495-0 (1-58394-495-8)

Since the first waves of Eastern philosophy traveled across the sea, Westerners have been intrigued by ancient traditions such as tantra, yoga, tai chi, and martial arts. Yet although some aspects of Taoist sexual practices have appeared in print, until now there has been no comprehensive book on Taoist sexual meditation.

The Water method of Taoist sexual meditation, as was taught by Lao Tse, author of the Tao de Ching, shows us how to use dissolving meditation to relax and let go. This foundation practice ultimately gets us out of our head and into our body and the universe. Sex expands into the world of spirit, enabling us to resolve and clear energetic, emotional, and karmic blockages. With sexual meditation it is possible to access more than four times the energy of solo meditative practices. This abundance of energy can then be directed to healing and to conscious evolution.

You will learn how to work with chi (energy) during sex, gain an understanding of Taoist ethics and morality, and realize the highest spiritual potential of sex as meditation. Find out how to increase sensitivity, activate your yin and yang meridians, and overcome cultural conditioning. Understand how the Chinese theory of the Five Elements can give insight into your own sexual nature and determine sexual compatibility with potential partners.

An accelerated path for internal development, sexual meditation has rarely been shared outside Eastern monasteries. Encouraged by his teachers to bring these authentic practices to the West, Frantzis presents Taoist Sexual Meditation as a profound spiritual path that can heal and calm the turbulence of mind, allowing it to open to the infinite potential of the Tao.

Your Soul's Plan eChapters - Chapter 6: Death of a Loved One Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born
Written by Robert Schwartz

eBook, 66 pages | Frog Books | Self Help - Death, Grief, Bereavement; Family & Relationships - Death, Grief, Bereavement; Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Prayer & Spiritual | $3.99 | 978-1-58394-647-3 (1-58394-647-0)

Would you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning and purpose of death, grief, mourning, and bereavement?

Your Soul’s Plan eChapters: Death of a Loved One contains the Preface, Introduction, Chapter 1: Pre-birth Planning, and Chapter 6: Death of a Loved One from Robert Schwartz’s best-selling spirituality book, Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born. This special eChapter tells the true story of Valerie, who planned before she was born to lose both her only child and her fiancé, and it explains why she courageously chose to experience their deaths.

Before we are born, we ourselves plan great challenges in order to foster our own spiritual growth and the growth of the people we love. This inspirational, healing, and deeply thought-provoking eChapter speaks to our heartfelt desire to know: Why do we lose loved ones? Why do some of our loved ones leave us unexpectedly or at ages that make their deaths seem premature? What can we learn, and how can we grow, as a result of losing someone for whom we care deeply?

In this eChapter Valerie shares her personal story, then has sessions with gifted mediums and channels in which Schwartz asks Spirit, “Were the deaths planned before birth, and if so, why?” The great love and wisdom that come forth from “the other side” help us to understand the deeper spiritual meaning and purpose of losing a loved one. In powerful and touching conversations with her “deceased” son and fiancé, Valerie discovers why together they created this life plan before any of them were born.

If you have lost someone you love, an awareness of pre-birth planning will empower you to transform any feelings of victimization, anger, sadness, or confusion into acceptance, understanding, and peace. Suffering that once seemed purposeless will become imbued with deep meaning. And you will come to know that your loved ones are not dead, but rather very much alive and still with you, loving you just as strongly from Spirit as they did while in body.

The full edition of Your Soul’s Plan also explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, and severe accidents. Individual Your Soul’s Plan eChapters are available under the following titles: Physical Illness; Parenting Handicapped Children; and Drug Addiction and Alcoholism.

The Essence of Chi-Gung A Handbook of Basic Forms for Daily Practice
Written by Daniel P. Reid

Trade Paperback, 128 pages | Shambhala | Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity); Medical - Alternative Medicine | $16.95 | 978-1-59030-962-9 (1-59030-962-6)

The beneficial health effects of daily chi-gung practice have long been known in China, but in the West, chi-gung is becoming increasingly used for general well-being and to complement conventional medical treatment. The Essence of Chi-Gung is an easy-to-use workbook that teaches the fundamentals of chi-gung practice and provides a safe, basic daily regimen that can be adapted for people of all ages and physical abilities.

The view in Chinese medicine is that good health is maintained by circulating and increasing chi, the vital life energy that we are all born with. In chi-gung practice, slow, rhythmic breathing is synchronized with body movements, in a way which is beneficial to both the nervous and immune systems and to overall health. This manual includes over fifty step-by-step illustrations of the warm-up exercises and movement forms.

Charles Ridley is known for having refined a version of biodynamic craniosacral work that is nonmedical and nonmechanical. In Stillness, he clarifies the three fundamental types of this work — biomechanical, functional, and biodynamic. He explains the requirements and pitfalls of each model, and how to discern the differences and similarities between them. He guides the practitioner experientially to explore what he is describing, and offers exercises drawn from his own practice to help therapists access directly the whole felt-body sense that connects each individual with the Breath of Life.

She also presents a glossary of terms designed for beginning students of metaphysical healing practices, and teaches how to clear, dedicate, and maintain crystals to maximize their beneficial effects.

A quick reference to 550 gemstones and crystals (including many that are new to the marketplace), and their special healing properties and most helpful applications.

Includes diagrams of the Kundalini (physical) and Hara Line (emotional) chakra healing systems for simplified cross-referencing with the stones.

Bagua and Tai Chi Exploring the Potential of Chi, Martial Arts, Meditation and the I Ching
Written by Bruce Frantzis

Trade Paperback, 240 pages | Blue Snake Books | Sports & Recreation - Martial Arts & Self-Defense; Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity); Health & Fitness - Healing | $19.95 | 978-1-58394-359-5 (1-58394-359-5)

In Bagua and Tai Chi, noted teacher Bruce Frantzis demonstrates through these two important practices what is required to develop and embody high levels of chi flow. Inside the slow-motion movements of tai chi is a sophisticated mind/body/spirit practice. Derived from the I Ching (Book of Changes), bagua is unique in its circular movements, spiraling energy, and unpredictable changes of direction.

Frantzis begins with an overview of both bagua and tai chi and their origins in Chinese culture, followed by comprehensive advice on how to incorporate these practices into daily Western life. Written in an easy, conversational style, the book provides an explanation of an art that is practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain a vigorous level of health. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the 2.3 million Americans who currently practice tai chi report improved sleep, conditioning, and overall wellness. Bagua and Tai Chi offers a gentle healing and strengthening system that will appeal to a wide audience, including martial artists, meditators, dancers and athletes, personal trainers, and anyone looking to reduce stress and increase calmness and clarity through an effective, low-impact body practice.

Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness opens our eyes to the importance of cultivating the nurturing aspects of silence in our personal relationships and enables us to awaken the inner currents of spirituality that ultimately lead to a path of universal compassion, service, and healing.

Cosmic Healing by Barbara Brodsky

Cosmic Healing A Spiritual Journey with Aaron and John of God
Written by Barbara Brodsky

Trade Paperback, 448 pages | North Atlantic Books | Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Prayer & Spiritual; Body, Mind & Spirit - Channeling; Body, Mind & Spirit - Personal Transformation | $18.95 | 978-1-55643-966-7 (1-55643-966-0)

With the onset of sudden profound deafness at the age of 29, Barbara Brodsky set out on a quest to understand the nature of illness and healing, examining the interrelationship of mind and body and our capacity to transcend limitation. Asking the questions What is healing? Who and what heals? Why do some people heal while others do not? she discusses karma and free will, our habit of identifying with a limited sense of self, and our potential for greater healing.

A longtime Buddhist practitioner who began meditation in the ’60s, Brodsky discovered a new path on her healing journey when she began channeling the spirit Aaron in 1989. Based on three decades of meticulously kept journals, Cosmic Healing weaves together Brodsky’s Buddhist teachings, channeled material from Aaron, exercises for the reader, and an account of her experiences with the healer known as John of God (João Teixeira de Faria) at his teaching center, Casa de Dom Inácio, in Brazil. While Cosmic Healing is channeled in part and has deep roots in traditional dharma, it is at heart a universal story of human growth and discovery. Old beliefs limit us every day. But as Brodsky discovered and teaches, we can learn to recognize such limiting beliefs, transcend them, and live a deeper truth.

Natural Chi Movement by William Spear

Natural Chi Movement Accessing the World of the Miraculous
Written by Tienko Ting
Foreword by William Spear

eBook, 288 pages | North Atlantic Books | Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Energy (Chi Kung, Reiki, Polarity); Health & Fitness - Healing; Religion - Spirituality | $18.95 | 978-1-58394-353-3 (1-58394-353-6)

The modern world is largely focused on the physical—on the appetites and senses, on doing and having—which can blind us to the spiritual realm. In Natural Chi Movement, Tienko Ting articulates a theory of life that unites the physical and spiritual worlds. He suggests there is nothing to learn or master; each of us—and every living thing—is a product of the merging of physical and spiritual energy, already endowed with the capacity to thrive and heal. Activation of our chi is the component to wellness that most of us have been missing. It is the essence of the practice of Natural Chi Movement.

Natural Chi Movement guides modern seekers in embracing their spiritual nature and accessing the boundless potential of energy. Doing so, says Ting, can also help address global problems from health care to ecology. Featuring 23 illustrations, the book draws on Chinese history, philosophy, and medicine, as well as from the author’s own work with spiritual energy. Natural Chi Movement is an exploration into the nature of spiritual energy and how to access and use it for vibrant health and optimal well being. Written in a simple, lucid style, Natural Chi Movement sheds much-needed light on the nature of the energy that makes up all life, opening up a world of extraordinary healing for everyone.

Opening Our Spiritual Eyes Karmic Clearing for Humanity and the Earth
Written by Sriama Qala Phoenix

eBook, 448 pages | North Atlantic Books | Body, Mind & Spirit - Channeling; Body, Mind & Spirit - Healing - Prayer & Spiritual; Body, Mind & Spirit - Angels & Spirit Guides | $19.95 | 978-1-55643-989-6 (1-55643-989-X)

Karma is generally understood as personal, and clearing karma is often considered an individual effort, with individual rewards. In Opening Our Spiritual Eyes, spiritual teacher Sri’ama Qala Phoenix shows how karmic clearing can also be used in collective healing. Karma is shared within families and communities, and clearing karma releases it from the etheric body of our children and future generations. The book was inspired by the ongoing “Celestial Project,” a four-year global endeavor of Australia’s Divine University that began in 2009. The project involves people gathering worldwide on specific dates to focus on the karmic cleaning of the etheric body of a major city.

Opening Our Spiritual Eyes draws on the author’s experiences of meeting the Enlightened Masters, those wise spirit guides who, through her, present new understandings of the collective karma held within the world’s primary cities and our etheric bodies—and how to free ourselves, our families, and our world from it with grace. Revealing what Sri’ama Qala Phoenix calls “the true nature of the divine plan for humanity and our Earth,” the book shares essential keys for how we can become empowered to live in alignment with our divine purpose.

Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of “laying on of hands” healing derived from Tibetan Buddhism. In the West, Reiki has been kept highly secret for many years. ESSENTIAL REIKI presents full information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time. Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice. While no book can replace the directly received Reiki “attunements,” ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.

Cultivating Qi An Introduction to Chinese Body-Mind Energetics

While Chinese acupuncture and herbalism enjoy widespread popularity in the West, traditional Chinese exercise techniques—with the exception of qi gong—have rarely been taught outside China. This book is designed to change that. Written by Jun Wang, a doctor of Chinese medicine, Cultivating Qi draws on classic Chinese texts to introduce these body-mind healing exercises to Western readers.

In simple, accessible language, Wang presents three specific qi exercises: the Yijin Jing, a popular form of calisthenics associated with both Chinese Buddhist and Daoist traditions; Taiji Neigong, a series of 34 movements adapted from the Wu-Hao style of Taiji Quan; and the “Six Healing Breaths,” which combines spoken sounds with movements associated with the six major vital organs of Chinese medicine.

Written for beginning students of Chinese medicine as well as laypersons, healthcare practitioners, and martial artists, Cultivating Qi includes clear explanations of Chinese medical terminology—and provides the original Chinese characters for more advanced students—as well as step-by-step instruction in the three exercises. Accompanied by 100 photographs, these exercises are suitable for all ages and activity levels, and most of them
take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
