Paperback. Etat : Good. An exploration of the relationship between humans and nature through conversations with 12 leading scientific and social visionaries - Explores the importance of the unification of humankind and nature as it relates to creation, destruction, diversity, and the spiritual health of the world - Contains interviews with Rupert Sheldrake, Jane Goodall, and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Rigoberta Mench Tum, among others Society's attitude toward nature has changed considerably over the years. Terms pertaining to the anthropocentric paradigm of mankind in charge, such as supervisor or owner, have been replaced by caretaker or trustee. This approach, although more appropriate, still indicates a complete separation of humankind from nature. Yet increasing numbers of people have begun to feel that they are intrinsically part of nature. This concept of unity with the natural world--that we are nature--is gaining momentum among many innovative social reformers from many diverse fields. In Science, Soul, and the Spirit of Nature, Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld interviews 12 respected visionary thinkers, representing all continents, about their deep connection with the earth and their views on the relationship between humanity and nature. Presented as a series of thought-provoking conversations, this book delves deeply into the many conceptions we hold about nature, showing that while many strides have been made in the area of its preservation, we must now take the next step. Each contributor adds insights into the urgent change in consciousness that we must adopt in order to heal and restore our holistic relationship with the earth that was emblematic of the first peoples--reminding us that a separation from and destruction of nature is a spiritual destruction of ourselves.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. HEALTH / BODYWORK Applied kinesiology, a noninvasive tool for health diagnosis and treatment, has been used by chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists, and other medical professionals for nearly half a century. Applied kinesiology teaches that our health depends on a balance of the structural, chemical, and mental/emotional dimensions of the body, and it utilizes these interrelationships in diagnostic techniques. Using this holistic triad approach, applied kinesiologists test the strength of specific muscles to determine the working health of the glands, organs, and bones as well as the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. The list of health problems that applied kinesiology can successfully address is impressive and still growing. Practitioners of applied kinesiology have a detailed knowledge of muscle movements and their relationship to the many complex systems of the body. Authors TOM and CAROLE VALENTINE, working closely with chiropractors and applied kinesiologists Douglas Hetrick and David Walther, explain how applied kinesiology tests muscles for a weak or strong response and thereby pinpoints the underlying causes of a health problem at its early stages, successfully addressing chronic and metabolic problems that have resisted all other treatment.…

First published in 1974, it revolutionized the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider the birth from the infant's point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices?

Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body?

Paperback. Etat : Fair. A clear-eyed look at the instrumental role drugs have played in our cultural, social, and spiritual development. - First American publication of the surprising European bestseller. - Examines everything from the ancient use of ergot and datura to the modern phenomenon of designer drugs such as Ecstasy and crack cocaine. From remotest antiquity to the present era of designer drugs and interdiction, drugs have played a prominent role in the cultural, spiritual, and social development of civilizations. Antonio Escohotado demonstrates how the history of drugs illuminates the history of humanity as he explores the long relationship between mankind and mind-altering substances. Hemp, for example, has been used in India since time immemorial to stimulate mental agility and sexual prowess. Aristotle's disciple Theophrastus testifies to the use of datura by the ancient Greeks and further evidence links the rites at Eleusis to the ingestion of a hallucinogen. Similar examples can be found in cultures as diverse as the Celts, the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, and other indigenous peoples around the world. Professor Escohotado also looks at the present-day differences that exist between the more drug-tolerant societies like Holland and Switzerland and countries advocating complete repression of these substances. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the enormous social costs of the drug war that is coming under increasing fire from all levels of society. Professor Escohotado's work demonstrates that drugs have always existed and been used by societies throughout the world and the contribution they have made to humanity's development has been enormous. The choice we face today is to teach people how to use them correctly or to continue to indiscriminately demonize them. Just say no, the author says, is not an option. Just say know is. Antonio Escohotado is a professor of philosophy and social science methodology at the National University of Distance Education in Madrid, Spain. He travels widely, offering lectures and seminars on the subject of drugs and history.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. SPIRITUALITY A great split between the physical and the spiritual exists in our lives, and our bodies reflect this through fatigue, depression, and chronic illness. To become whole beings again, we must reclaim our birthright as partners with all of creation. We achieve this by opening ourselves to the spirits of plants, animals, the elements, and Earth, making them our allies. These allies, known as devas, are energy beings through whom we can bridge the gap between the physical body and the energetic patterns that support all life. Partner Earth teaches that we don't need any special psychic abilities to communicate with these beings of the natural world; we simply match frequencies with them, which means relaxing the mind and expanding the heart to receive more subtle signals.Through a process of remembering, our relationship with Earth can evolve into one of equal partnership. Partner Earth provides a wide range of practical exercises based on traditional wisdom, visualizations, and the author's long experience as an herbalist that enables one to learn this process, create sacred space, find plant and animal allies, and create flower essences that can help heal the rift between the individual and Nature.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. For the first time, an expert in the Asian art of finger-pressure massage shifts the practice of shiatsu from the floor to the massage table--increasing the comfort of the patient, conserving the energy of the therapist, and augmenting the effects of the treatment. Skillfully integrating current Western scientific research with traditional energetic concepts and techniques of shiatsu, Carl Dubitsky provides a new perspective on this ancient healing art. His analysis of the muscular anatomy of the points and pathways is unique in Western literature, making shiatsu techniques more accessible and comprehensible to health professionals and bodyworkers of all schools. BodyWork Shiatsu grounds its discussion of shiatsu in a thorough review of traditional Asian medical theory, explaining the concepts of yin and yang, the five elements, and the flow of life energy, qi, along with the meridians of the body. These concepts form the basis of the health professional's approach to examination and treatment. The heart of the book contains detailed instructions in applying shiatsu to the massage table--from basic finger technique to choosing equipment--with specific recommendations for treating each part of the body. The fruit of the author's many years of immersion in both Eastern and Western systems of massage, BodyWork Shiatsu is an invaluable aid to all those interested in advanced applications of shiatsu as well as those wishing to incorporate basic principles of finger-pressure massage into their health-care practice.…

Why would some of the members of the best educated, most materially comfortable generation of Americans look back to mystical traditions many millennia old?

Ways of worship from sources as diverse as the pre-Christian Celts, ancient Egypt, and Native American traditions are currently helping their followers find meaning in life while living in the Information Age.

Paperback. Etat : Good. A visionary ecopsychologist examines the rift between human beings and nature and shows what can be done to bring harmony to both the ecosystem and our own minds. - Shows that the solution to our ecological dilemma lies in our own consciousnesses. It is becoming more and more apparent that the causes and cures for the current ecological crisis are to be found in the hearts and minds of human beings. For millennia we existed within a religious and psychological framework that honored the Earth as a partner and worked to maintain a balance with nature. But somehow a root pathology took hold in Western civilization--the idea of domination over nature--and this led to an alienation of the human spirit that has allowed an unprecedented destruction of the very systems which support that spirit. In Green Psychology Ralph Metzner explores the history of this global pathology and examines the ways that we can restore a healing relationship with nature. His search for role models takes him from shamanic ceremonies with the Lacandon Maya of Mexico to vision quests in the California desert, from the astonishing nature mysticism of Hildegard von Bingen to the Black Goddesses and Green Gods of our pagan ancestors. He examines the historical roots of the split between humans and nature, showing how first sky-god worshiping cultures, then monotheisms, and finally mechanistic science continued to isolate the human psyche from the life-giving Earth. His final chapters present a solution, showing that disciplines such as deep ecology and ecofeminism are creating a worldview in which the mind of humanity and the health of the Earth are harmoniously intertwined.…
