Book SynopsisWithin the context of a larger discussion of Dao Yin, Damo Mitchell teaches and explains the Dragon Dao Yin exercises, a set of four short sequences designed to work with the subtle energies of the spine and lead pathogenic energies out of the body.More 'Yang' in nature than Qi Gong, Dao Yin focuses on outwards movements and strong internal cleansing. The book highlights this important distinction and covers the theory, history and development of Dao Yin exercises, as well as the relationship between Chinese medical theory and Dao Yin training. One chapter is devoted to problems related to stagnation and the flow of Qi, and explains the different causes and forms of stagnation. Later chapters look at breathing patterns and the extension of Yi, opening the joints, and rotating the bones and spine. Damo Mitchell also discusses stillness as the source of movement, the philosophical significance of the Dragon and the pearl, and the means of hardwiring Dao Yin exercises into the energetic body. Central to the discussion is the concept of the spine, and how to wake it up.For the first time in the English language, the Dragon exercises – Awakening, Swimming, Soaring and Drunken – are described in detail, with photographs and step-by-step instructions on each of the exercises as individual therapeutic exercises and as a form.Trade ReviewThe Four Dragons completes a trilogy of plain English Daoist Nei Gong titles setting out a methodology which has proven so successful at Damo Mitchell's courses in Europe, the USA, and Asia. Damo's structured approach to physical health and energetic purging has connected a current generation of students to the energetic realm and prepared them for the next proposition in the Daoist Arts - nei dan. -- Steve Galloway, practising Nei Gong teacher and owner of www.taiji-online.co.ukThe Four Dragons brilliantly conveys, with ease, clarity, and a refreshing sense of humor, ancient Daoist principles and teachings of Qi Gong, Dao Yin and Nei Dan. Until now this information has been shrouded in mystery and secrecy, behind monastery walls, for millennia. With practice, both the beginner and the advanced student will benefit greatly by the reading of this book, experiencing rapid improvements in health and wellbeing. One who cultivates further will be guided to the deepest levels of inner consciousness. -- Barbara Abrams, L.Ac., Acupuncturist, and Faculty, Maryland University of Integrative HealthTable of ContentsForeword by Dr Ole Saether.

Book Synopsis. Reveals ancient Egyptian Mystery teachings on immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection and eternal life . Explores the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife . Provides the essential spiritual tools needed to return to Zep Tepi, the creative source Drawing from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Pyramid texts, the Book of Thoth and other sacred hieroglyphic writings spanning the three millennia of the Egyptian Mystery Traditions, Normandi Ellis reveals the magical language of creation and words of power that enabled the ancient Egyptians to act as co-creators with the gods. Examining the power of hieroglyphic thinking - how thoughts create reality - and the multiple meanings behind every word of power, the author shows how, with the Neteru, we imagine the world into existence, casting a spell of consciousness over the material world. Uncovering the deep layers of meaning and symbol within the myths of the Egyptian gods and goddesses, Ellis investigates the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife and shares their initiations for immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection and eternal life - initiations that later became part of the Christian mystery school. Revealing the words of power used by these ancient priests/sorcerers, she explains how to search for the deeper, hidden truths beneath their spells and shows how ancient Egyptian consciousness holds the secret of life itself. Revealing the initiatory secrets of the Osirian Mystery school, Ellis provides the essential teachings and shamanic tools needed to return to Zep Tepi - the creative source - as we face the transitional time of radical change currently at hand.Trade Review“Normandi Ellis’ work of a lifetime began when she wrote Awakening Osiris, her ecstatic translation of the hieroglyphs found in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. It culminates nearly 30 years hence in her newest book Imagining the World into Existence. In 1988, she said: ‘We make of ourselves what we imagine.’ Now, in 2012, we see she has imagined well.” * Alan Richardson, co-author of The Inner Guide to Egypt *“Normandi Ellis takes her reader on an extraordinary journey into the myths and magic of Ancient Egypt. And the journey is as beautiful, fragrant and mysterious as Egypt itself.” * Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, authors of The Hermetica and The Jesus Mysteries *“This remarkable book emulates Egypt itself; it fuses philosophy, religion, art and science into a single inextricable Unity. Like an accomplished Egyptian temple or sculpture, it looks effortless yet is extremely subtle and complex. It resonates Egypt. It ‘breathes’ Egypt. It is almost like actually being there! Not many books do that.” * John Anthony West, author of Serpent in the Sky and The Traveler's Key to Ancient Egypt *“Bravo! At last, the book from Normandi Ellis we have all been waiting for! Her knowledge and direct connection to the myths, the glyphs, and the symbolism of ancient Egypt have given us the clearest statement ever of the cosmology and relevant truths written in the scrolls. This book is a must for anyone seriously interested in the magic of ancient Egypt. I’m awed and inspired by its brilliance!” * Nicki Scully, co-author of Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt and The Anubis Oracle *“Normandi Ellis is unique in understanding the deeper aspects of human existence and the way the ancients perceived the world. This is an excellent book. Read it!” * Robert Bauval, co-author of The Orion Mystery and Black Genesis *“Normandi Ellis’ magnificent Imagining the World into Existence: An Ancient Egyptian Manual of Consciousness is a breakthrough of holistic literature at this crucial time. She creates a new language of holism, thereby completing the task that academics — split from by disciplinary boundaries and linear subject/object orientation of language — have failed to even identify. At the crucial impasse faced by humanity today, we all can benefit from Ellis’ warning: ‘Failing to make conscious life changes because we fear the big turnaround leases us down a destructive and disorientating path.’” * Lisa Paul Streitfeld, Huffington Post, September 2012 *“Revealing the initiatory secrets of the Osirian Mystery school, Ellis provides the essential teachings and shamanic tools needed to return to Zep Tepi-the creative source-as we face the transitional time of radical change currently at hand.” * Branches of Light, October 2012 *“What Ellis reveals...is relevant for anyone who wants to know how our thoughts create our reality, or who is interested in the ancient Egyptian cosmic mindset and how it may inform us as we face future challenges.” * Nexus Magazine, December 2012 *“Imagining the World Into Existence weaves with great detail a map of the consciousness of this magical realm from our past. And what’s particularly striking is how closely the consciousness of ancient Egypt resembles the evolving consciousness of today.” * Marc Star, New Dawn, June 2013 *Table of Contents Foreword by Jean Houston Acknowledgments Open Sesame!

Book SynopsisSeven years after qualifying to become a spiritual healer, Sandy Edwards approached a consultant gastroenterologist at a city hospital and offered to give healing to his patients as a volunteer. She provided healing sessions alongside conventional medical treatments, documenting the effects in a scientific way, and the doctor was surprised at the overwhelmingly positive outcomes. In partnership with the University of Birmingham, as well as a national grant to fund the study, Sandy instigated the largest clinical research trial of spiritual healing in the world. Revealing the outstanding results of this two-year medical trial, which involved 200 chronically ill hospital patients, Sandy demonstrates that spiritual healing (energy medicine) can support the healing process of a patient, whether they are in pain, sick, stressed, or depressed. In many cases, these patients had been suffering for a long time with little hope of recovery. Yet they improved substantially in numerous ways after receiving just five 20-minute healing sessions. Illustrating how spiritual healing helps a patient from pain and distress through to recovery, Sandy shares intriguing evidence from case studies as well as other research projects that negate the myth that energy healing is only a placebo. • Presents the positive results of the author’s two-year clinical trial of spiritual healing (energy medicine) involving 200 hospital patients • Explores how spiritual healing not only led to improved outcomes for patients, but also faster recovery times and thus less time spent in hospitals

Book SynopsisMotility, relating to the vital energy of the human tissues, is a basic concept in osteopathy. This book presents a simple and systematic definition of motility, based on the movement of all of the body's structures during embryogenesis. Those initial movements, intrinsic to the energy of the tissues, are the essence of motility and, as such, they are crucial to the tissues' normal movement. These fundamental ideas expand the osteopath's clinical intervention techniques and deepen the understanding of both the bases of osteopathy and of human functions.Illustrated in two colours with clear and original line drawings and photographs, this book offers the new model of practice developed by Alain Auberville over his 30 years of experimentation and teaching; it is presented here by Andree Aubin, who has linked Alain Auberville's approach to classic osteopathic concepts in order to facilitate its integration into regular clinical practice.

We've used these techniques for ourselves to address our fears of being parents and to calm ourselves down when we're on the edge.
