Book SynopsisIn The Acid Diaries, Gray details his experimentation with LSD over a period of three years and shares the startling realization that his visions were weaving an ongoing story from trip to trip, revealing an underlying reality of personal and spiritual truths. Following the theories of Stanislav Grof and offering quotes from others’ experiences that parallel his own--including those of Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann, and Gordon Wasson--he shows that trips progress through three stages: the first dealing with personal issues and pre-birth consciousness; the second with ego-loss, often with supernatural overtones; and the third with sacred, spiritual, and even apocalyptic themes. Pairing his experiences with an exploration of psychedelic use throughout history, including the ergot-spawned mass hallucinations that were common through the Middle Ages and the early use of LSD for therapeutic purposes, Gray offers readers a greater understanding and appreciation for the potential value of LSD not merely for transpersonal growth but also for spiritual development.Trade Review"Truly The Acid Diaries is a return to form for psychedelic literature, not only is it a beautifully written narrative but it's full of engaging ideas that Gray uses to weave a web of possibility and, ultimately, hope for the future of psychedelics." * Psychedelic Press, UK, August 2010 *“For anyone who thinks the story of LSD was written in the sixties: think again. The Acid Diaries combines a sharp critique of that decade’s psychedelic adventures with a brave and original series of self-experiments in the present day. The result is an instant classic of acid literature.” * Mike Jay, author of Artificial Paradises and High Society *“Read this book.” * Nick Sand, designer of Orange Sunshine acid and legendary underground chemist *“A unique account of a courageous psychonaut’s journey into the preternatural depths of human consciousness.” * Martin A. Lee, coauthor of Acid Dreams *“The Acid Diaries is the best insider’s portrait of the psychedelic journey I’ve ever found; the writing is stunningly beautiful in its effervescent candor. The Acid Diaries is an exceptionally honest and unguarded book.” * Dr. Christopher M. Bache, author of Lifecyles, Dark Night/Early Dawn, and The Living Classroom *“Instant enlightenment? Hardly. One has to work for it, as outlined in this book . . . highly recommended . . .” * Jonathan Ott, ethnobotanist, writer, translator, publisher, natural products chemist, and botanical *“Like any strong acid trip, there is both existential angst and cosmic bliss, and many states in between. The Acid Diaries is a contemporary classic of personal psychedelic exploration.” * Michael Horowitz, Tim Leary’s autobiographer *“All psychonauts will admire and profit from this amazing gift.” * John Allen, chairman of Global Ecotechnics and inventor of the Biosphere 2 Project *“. . . a rich, dense, philosophical, and psychological trip memoir.” * Jon Taylor, Erowid *“If you have any interest at all in acid, then get your hands on this book!” * Stewart Home, artist, academic, filmmaker, activist, and author *" . . . extraordinarily insightful..." * Dose Nation, October 2010 *“It is Gray’s foundation in spiritual practices that makes The Acid Diaries glow. . . Gray is not some detached scientist. Nor is he some drugged our hippie. He writes with an intelligent, literate and confessional voice that’s casual, yet never sloppy. . . This makes The Acid Diaries an excellent “gateway” book into the genre of psychedelic literature for anyone new to the field.” * Gene Ching, Journal of Psychoactive Drugs (Volume 42 (4), December 2010 *Table of ContentsPreface 1 Batch 25 2 Wonder Drug 3 The Doors of Perception 4 Psychopolitics and the Sixties 5 Bad Trips 6 The First Maps 7 Sleep--and Waking Up 8 Realms of the Human Unconscious 9 Session 1: A Low-Dose Trip 10 The First Group of Trips 11 Session 6: Doubling the Dose 12 BPM 2 13 Session 8: Windle Hey 14 Session 9: Mum 15 Underground Psychotherapy 16 Set, Setting, and History 17 God as Light 18 “I Saw a Man Cloathed with Raggs . . .” 19 Resistance 20 Psychedelics Since the Sixties 21 Resistance (continued) 22 Anna and A Cappella 23 Anna’s Death 24 Session 21: Being Two People Simultaneously 25 The Transpersonal 26 Tripping on the Heath 27 The Purple Flowers 28 “Ecstatic Journey of the Living into the Realm of the Dead . . .” 29 “Ecstatic Journey . . .” (continued) 30 Terrible Beauty 31 “Not the true samadhi . . .” 32 Session 27: Last Trip in the Woods 33 Demonstrations, Ecstasy, Advaita 34 Return of the Repressed 35 “Another World Is Possible” 36 “Another World Is Possible” (continued) 37 Toward a Sacramental Vision of Reality 38 Meltdown in God 39 Out of the Body? 40 Session 45: At Judges Walk 41 BPM 4 42 The Long Flashback 43 Interim Report 44 Interim Report (continued) 45 Mutual Immanence 46 Sanctus Appendix: Ergot and the West Notes Bibliography: A Chronology of Psychedelic Literature

Book SynopsisFocusing on the role of crystals in the journey to wholeheartedness, Nicholas Pearson reveals how the heart, as the literal and metaphorical center of one’s being, has the power to lead us to greater balance, healing, and happiness. He explores the anatomy of the physical heart and its spiritual symbolism and shows how its four chambers are related to the four elements. Offering hands-on exercises and meditations with more than 60 gemstones and minerals, each a specific heart-healing stone, the author explains how to build a better relationship with the heart as your spiritual center as well as how to fortify your heart with emotional strength, reclaim your will, and cultivate forgiveness. He shows how your heart is the coordinator of your energy field and is itself a sensory organ and information processor, working to enact healing on many levels. He also looks at the heart chakra and how the higher heart chakra is evolving.Trade Review“The chapters of Crystal Healing for the Heart are well laid out--packed with lots of information--in an easy-to-read and clear style. The way each facet of the heart and the heart energy is dealt with makes it memorable and reminds people that crystal healing is a holistic approach to well-being. The core of any dis-ease state is stress that the being is unable to process. The holistic heart is therefore a key player in easing stress and encouraging the ‘letting go’ of what is no longer needed. The techniques and suggestions in this book will go a long way to move each of us toward better holistic health and well-being. Thank you, Nicholas!” * Sue Lilly, author of The Crystal Healing Bible *“Nicholas Pearson is one of the best things to happen to crystal healing in the past 10 years. His books are always well researched, intelligent, fascinating, and perceptive--filled with the kind of knowledge and practical wisdom that only manifests when someone has dedicated their life to the study and mastery of their field, their craft. Yet his books are always flowing and fun to read as well--quite an achievement--and Crystal Healing for the Heart is no exception. It’s the book that many people have been waiting for, and it addresses many of the most important life issues that people have: how to really love ourselves, how to love and be loved in this mixed-up modern world of ours. People need to know that Nicholas is the real deal, and I hope he will be around for many years to come, sharing his insight, sharing his wisdom.” * Brian Parsons, author of the Energy Boundaries series *“Crystal Healing for the Heart by Nicholas Pearson is a marvel. Why? Because from the core, empowering information down to the practical format of the book, it brings together head and heart, as few books ever manage. We could not have a finer guide in this, during a time when we desperately need it. Thank you always, Nicholas!” * Marilyn Twintreess, coauthor of Stones Alive!

Book SynopsisUna exploración íntima de una de las situaciones más complejas de la existencia humana: la pérdida de un ser querido.     Las perdidas forman parte de nuestra vida, son constantes universales e ineludibles. Y las llamamos perdidas necesarias porque crecemos a través de ellas. De hecho, somos quienes somos gracias a todo lo perdido y a como nos hemos conducido frente a esas pérdidas. Por supuesto que seguir el camino de las lágrimas nos pone en un clima diferente del que podemos encontrar al recorrer el camino de la autodependencia o el del encuentro. Pero este camino es el que nos enseña a aceptar el vínculo vital que existe entre las pérdidas y las adquisiciones. Este camino señala que debemos renunciar a lo que ya no está, y que eso es madurar. Asumiremos al recorrerlo que las pérdidas tienden a ser problemáticas y dolorosas, pero solo a través de e

Book SynopsisChakra (Sanskrit, wheel) refers to the ancient Hindu concept of seven vortices of energy located on the spine from the tailbone to the crown of the head. These centers define the physical and spiritual contact points in the human body. In yoga they are bridges to higher consciousness symbolizing the journey from the material world to the divine. Alternative-medicine healers recognize them as a dynamic resource for health.First published in 1927, this pioneering book by famed clairvoyant C. W. Leadbeater was the first to introduce the chakras to the West. With great clarity, he explains what each chakra means regarding our well-being, insight, and personal power, his color illustrations showing the chakras as they actually appear to those who can see them. Anyone can perceive the chakras, he says. We must merely become sensitive to vibrations finer than those to which we normally respondThe book has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and remains a classic. The new material by Anodea J

Book SynopsisAmbika Wauters explores how linking classic archetypes to the seven chakras in the human energy system can reveal unconscious ways of behaving and serve as a valuable tool for transformation and healing. Archetypes, which Carl Jung defined as “patterns of behavior,” have emerged out of the core of human experience—the Mother and the Victim, the Lover and the Actor, the Warrior and the Servant.In CHAKRAS AND THEIR ARCHETYPES, Wauters shows that creating healthy archetypes is both liberating and fundamental to our well-being. In relating the archetypes to the chakras, she guides us on a journey to understand where our energy is blocked and which attitudes or emotional issues are responsible. Using a variety of exercises, meditations, and affirmations, she helps us to free ourselves from the negative archetypes, enabling us to rise to higher levels of awareness and empowerment—where we can transcend limitations, make healthy choices, release creativity, heal our
