Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWise Power is a radical revisioning of menopause as an awakening to the kind of power we need today, for the sake of the world. - Lynne Twist, global visionary, co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance and bestselling author It’s more than time that women began having new conversations about menopause, telling each other stories about beginnings, not endings. Wise Power is a rich, inspiring and practical guide to navigating this time of bone-deep metamorphosis – a thoughtfully crafted map charting the new opportunities ushered in by this profound initiatory experience. - Sharon Blackie, author of 'Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life' Fizzing with potent wisdom. This is the book on the menopause I’ve been waiting for: straight talking, courageous, initiatory and wise, wise, wise. - Lucy H. Pearce, author of 'Moon Time', 'Burning Woman' and 'Medicine Woman' At once tender and intimate, fierce and clear-eyed, Wise Power is a bounty of rich observations and story-telling that leads us through the labyrinth of menopause: that is, the years of perimenopause through to postmenopause. With robust truth telling, loving kindness and embodied wisdom, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer have brought forth a map of menopause that is fresh, original and revolutionary. If you’re up for a deep dive into the power inherent in the menopause transition and keen to take charge of your bumpy journey to mature self-knowledge, Wise Power is your book. - Jane Bennett, creator of Celebration Day for Girls and co-author of 'About Bloody Time'Reading the book Wise Power is an experience of feeling deeply seen, affirmed and honoured. As the authors, with breathtaking clarity, both practically and spiritually, guide us through the phases of the menopause transition, we are drawn back into an intimacy with the unfathomable rhythms that move us. An antidote to dusty hand-me-down ignorance, this book offers us a profound framework for reclaiming menopause as a spiritual death/rebirth initiation, as well as generous guidance for how to navigate each phase of the process. - Chameli Gad Ardagh, founder of AwakeningWomen.comThis book is essential. Finally a map and a guide for one of life’s greatest initiations and greatest confusions for women. No longer shrouded in shadow, the path becomes one of courage and beauty, letting go and allowing. Instead of holding on to what we know, we are shown how to understand a level of spiritual emergence that can and should transform our lives into expressions of personal sovereignty and authority. What a blessing of a book. - Clare Dubois, founder of Treesisters (treesisters.org) This is a magnificent book, possibly the one we’ve all been waiting for. For so many of us the only stories about menopause have been negative. Wise Power tells the real story: why we “suffer” and what to do about it. Woven through with many illuminating experiences, it reframes menopause, creating a new language and a map, offering a deeper understanding of the spiritual and psychological transformation that’s happening. - Jane Hardwicke Collings, Women’s Mysteries teacher and founder of the School of Shamanic WomancraftMy menopause has been a deep, challenging and yet wonderful journey for me, my husband and our relationship; my “menopausal bend” as I call it. This book is a radical, liberating reframing of menopause that will support you in the transformative alchemy of this era of your life, or of your woman’s life. Alexandra and Sjanie bring wisdom and fierce humanity to whatever they touch, including this fiery topic which is, at last, beginning to be acknowledged as the powerful and demanding rite of passage that it is. - Susannah Darling Khan, author and co-founder of Movement MedicineA compassionate and unflinching guide to the spiritual journey through menopause which Alexandra and Sjanie so rightly identify as the 'most creative and satisfying period of our lives'. - Lara Briden, author of 'Hormone Repair Manual: Every Woman’s Guide to Healthy Hormones After 40'Sjanie and Alexandra are women of power and have the deep heart wisdom to use it wisely for the good of all. Wise Power is a necessity if we are to evolve as a species, and the knowledge and experience contained in this book are surely a part of creating it. - Ya’Acov Darling Khan, Shaman, author and co-founder of Movement Medicine Wise Power reveals menopause as a time of awakening and spiritual activation. Like an elder sister, Wise Power guides us through the five stages of the menopausal initiation so that we may celebrate our well-earned wisdom and timeless beauty. - Tami Lynn Kent, author of 'Wild Feminine', 'Wild Creative' and 'Mothering from Your Center'In Wise Power, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer invite perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women into a space of wisdom, empathy, rich stories, community and pragmatic resources. Thus equipped, we find ourselves more enriched, soothed, inspired and aligned with the Good Mystery that is Life. - Dr Claudia Welch, author of 'Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life'This book is a gift that takes you to a much-needed menopause pulpit where – if you’re open and brave enough not to believe the cultural narrative that demonizes menopause – you’ll find a transformational path to menopause awaits and that this is truly a time of great awakening. As I read this book, I found myself cheering “Yes! Yes! Yes!”, thrilled to see the importance of rest and related topics stressed throughout, and convinced that the menopause “medicine” you will discover is exactly what is needed right now. When this wise power is known and embodied, your life, and the world, will change for the better. - Karen Brody, author of 'Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation' Wise Power is essential medicine for this time. As I read it, every cell in my body, down to my marrow, said “Yes!” The beauty of this book is that it speaks to healing the deeply ingrained and implicit biases of the patriarchal cultures that so many of us were raised within. And also to healing the violence of ageism, which is particularly acute for women. Simultaneously, it lifts up the lived experience of power, creativity and wisdom that elder women are invited to own; the power and creativity that has in the past led people through catastrophic situations – both environmental and social. Now, as we face a confluence of emergencies that threaten the very future of our species, it’s vital that we do the inner work this book invites us to. We may then fully own the power, insight and wisdom that nature has gifted to us, to step boldly and purposefully into the callings of this time. - Nina Simons, co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer, Bioneers, and author of 'Nature, Culture & the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership' Wise Power is an initiation into the profound power and wisdom of menopause. This book is incredibly timely and I have no doubt it will completely shift our view of menopause, which has traditionally been seen as an affliction we must simply suffer through. It is the handbook needed to rewrite the story of menopause, and I truly believe that if you follow the guidance offered within its pages, you will experience immense benefits. - Nicole Jardim, author of 'Fix Your Period'Dreading or struggling with menopause? Wise Power embraces the richness of this phase that so many experience as challenging. Brought to life with women’s stories, it offers a clear map of the territory with practical suggestions for navigating your way through. I found so much that resonated with my own experience and revelled in Wise Power’s reclaiming and celebrating this potent time. - Kim McCabe, founder of Rites for Girls CIC and author of 'From Daughter to Woman'This is a timely self-help book that breaks the taboos and makes menopause part of a wider conversation. - The Lady magazineWise Power is packed full of accessible practical tools and techniques to help you on this important phase of life. A spiritual new take on this impactable stage of life. - OM Yoga MagazineEven though menopause is a natural part of a woman's life, it can feel daunting and overwhelming. Understanding your body is the best way to navigate this phase and a new book, Wise Power… by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, is all about redefining menopause as a sacred rite of passage that can awaken greater power and wisdom. - Spirit & DestinyAt long last, a wise and timely book that will forever change your view of the menopause as a moment of positive transformation, and not an embarrassment to be denied or medicated. Women of every age: get hold of a copy of Wise Power and embrace its central message that the change is a change for the better, when you finally discover yourself, and all your vast potential, and truly hit your stride. - Lynne McTaggart, internationally bestselling author of The Power of Eight, The Field, The Intention Experiment and The Bond

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewLong before the birth of modern science, the secrets of life were revealed and preserved for future generations among a clan of wisdomkeepers hidden high in the mountains of the Peruvian Andes. Marcela Lobos reveals these ancient secrets and more in her book The Sacred Andean Codes. In an intimate sharing of her apprenticeship with the descendants of that clan—the Q’uero people of today—Lobos reveals how the direct experience of the Munay-Ki initiations can shape our perception of life’s challenges, while leading us into our deepest healing and highest dreams. Whether you’re an artist or an engineer, a homemaker or policy maker, this book is about you, your life, and every relationship that you’ll ever experience. Lobos’ compelling truths of earth wisdom linger in our hearts long after we read the pages of The Sacred Andean Codes, reminding us that we’re always more than the challenges that life brings to our doorstep. — Gregg Braden, New York Times best-selling author of The God Code and The Divine MatrixThe Sacred Andean Codes is a magnificent book. Marcela Lobos gives us a comprehensive understanding of the Munay-Ki initiations. The wisdom of these 10 initiations will connect you with your authentic self and root you in the flow of life. Marcela is the perfect person to transmit these powerful rites to us. She writes and teaches in a masterful way while bringing in deep feminine wisdom. You will learn how to reach your highest spiritual potential—this is a true gift Marcela shares with us in this beautiful book. — Sandra Ingerman, international shamanic teacher and award-winning author of 12 books, including Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self and The Book of CeremonyMost current books about creating a better life focus on speed: life hacks, shortcuts, and mechanistic systems. But true transformation lies beyond such strategies. In The Sacred Andean Codes, Marcela Lobos encourages us to find our inherent wisdom by slowing down. She writes lovingly and clearly about the Munay-Ki (10 shamanic initiations) as a time-honored way to connect with and empower your true self. Her work will help you go beyond self-help to encounter true spiritual awakening. — Susan Piver, New York Times best-selling author of The Buddhist EnneagramMarcela Lobos offers simple, accessible, and inclusive insights to navigate this turbulent period in our planet’s history, so that we may evolve from passive victims to responsible co-creators of the world to come. The Sacred Andean Codes is an important contribution toward healing societal dysfunction and ensuring the healthy development of future generations. This book will inspire your spirit as you comprehend the enormous potential of applying this information in your life. — Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., author of the best-selling books The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution, and The Honeymoon EffectIn these changing times, Marcela’s book guides us like a potent ray of light to awaken and expand our consciousness and to transform heavy energies into love. This is precisely what is most important in the dawn of the new day . . . and that we share our real selves—the light that shines from our inner sun. This book is a brilliant guide to conquer our own selves. Thank you, Marcela, for your luminous contribution to life! — Jorge Luis Delgado, author of Andean Awakening: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru

Book SynopsisIn 1983, Mantak Chia introduced the "Microcosmic Orbit" to the West. Prior to that time, most of the Eastern energy practices transmitted to the West were incomplete, dealing only with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life-force energy up the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit showed practitioners how to establish the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop. Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness. HEALING LIGHT OF THE TAO presents the more advanced methods of chi cultivation in the Microcosmic Orbit, offering a full understanding of Taoist spiritual theory through its comprehensive overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system. The book, also, includes more advanced meditation methods for absorbing the higher frequencies of Earth Force, Cosmic Force and Universal Force (Heavenly chi) into the basic orbit. It establishes a spiritual science that not only emphasises practical benefits to health, sexual vitality and emotional balance, but, also, shows how changes made in the energy body can lead to physical rejuvenation that the Taoists called immortality.

Book SynopsisThis guide will show families, patients, and doctors how to change their behavior and improve their health through new skills that will last when psychiatric drugs are no longer used.Over the past 50 years, psychiatry has made some significantly large strides, but it needs a new direction. The current emphasis on psychiatric drugs works for now, but it is a temporary solution. Studies involving nurses, nursing, interventions and clinical work have led to a new type of treatment.Recent advances in the molecular biology of the brain and epigenetics have illuminated a new plan. The result? A treatment path for the creation of natural, drug-free, and effective therapies that do not produce severe side effects. Chapters include: Brain Chemistry 101 Epigenetics and mental health Schizophrenia Depression Autism Behavioral disorders and ADHD Alzheimer’s Disease And more! The need-based treatments outlined in Dr. William J. Walsh’s Nutrient Power show a research-based nutrient therapy system that can help people with a variety of mental disorders. The guide explains that nutrient imbalance can cause mental disorders by disrupting gene expression of proteins and enzymes, crippling the body’s protection against environmental toxins, and changing brain levels of key neurotransmitters. Walsh’s database has connected nutrient imbalances in patients diagnosed with a variety of disorders found in the DSM.Trade ReviewPraise for William J. Walsh, PhD"[Dr. Walsh] is a pioneer and a well-respected researcher." –Dr. MercolaPraise for Nutrient Power“Over his impressive career, Dr. Walsh has worked with 30,000 patients with conditions ranging from autism to schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s. His book is an essential tool for anyone who would prefer to heal the brain with nutrients rather than drugs.” –Teri Arranga, editor-in-chief, Autism Science DigestThis could be an elegantly simple solution to the dysregulation of the extremely complex chemistry.” –Publishers Weekly”Bill Walsh is not a Renaissance man: he’s a Renaissance scientist.

This book could change medical history.” –Marguerite, Kelly, syndicated columnist, The Washington Post”With Nutrient Power, Bill Walsh joins Linus Pauling, Carl Pfeiffer, and Abe Hoffer on the Mount Rushmore of behavioral nutrition.

Book SynopsisIn the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful plants--those known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness--have traditionally been regarded as sacred. In The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive PlantsChristian Rätsch details the botany, history, distribution, cultivation, and preparation and dosage of more than 400 psychoactive plants. He discusses their ritual and medicinal usage, cultural artifacts made from these plants, and works of art that either represent or have been inspired by them. The author begins with 168 of the most well-known psychoactives--such as cannabis, datura, and papaver--then presents 133 lesser known substances as well as additional plants known as “legal highs,” plants known only from mythological contexts and literature, and plant products that include substances such as ayahuasca, incense, and soma. The text is lavishly illustrated with 797 color photographs--many of which are from the author’s extensive fieldwork around the world--showing the people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world’s sacred psychoactives.Trade Review“. . . this superb academic reference is the first comprehensive work devoted to psychoactive plants. Ratsch, an anthropologist, ethnopharmacologist, . . . includes more than 400 traditional and modern substances that ‘affect the mind or alter the state of consciousness’. . . .Each major monograph contains the plant’s scientific and common names, chemical structure, history, distribution, cultivation, appearance, preparation and dosage, ritual and medicinal uses, commercial forms and regulations, and effects, as well as research literature references. . . .This book offers something for everyone. . . . Highly recommended.” * Andy Wickens, Library Journal, August 2005 *“Rätsch’s Encyclopedia is massive in scope, exhaustively researched, heavily referenced, user-friendly, authoritative, and beautifully illustrated. It belongs on the bookshelf of everyone with an interest in psychoactive plants--from those with only a casual interest to veteran researchers.” * Rick Strassman, M.D., University of New Mexico School of Medicine, and author of DMT: The Spirit Mol *“It is a truism in anthropology that virtually all cultures utilize plants and mushrooms for their psychoactive effects. The impulse to achieve altered states of consciousness is universal. Several previous books on psychoactive plants have become classics on this subject. While valuable historic additions to the library, they must now move over. This encyclopedia is truly destined to be the most authoritative reference on natural psychoactive substances for years to come.” * Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council, and editor of Her *“In the realm of psychoactive plants, Christian Rätsch is the world’s most knowledgeable person. Here is his magnum opus--a veritable treasure trove of information about the most fascinating members of the plant kingdom. As the “teachers” and the gatekeepers to the spirit world, psychoactives help us cleanse the lenses of perception. No one interested in natural ways to expand consciousness should be without this magnificent volume.” * Ralph Metzner, PH.D., psychologist, author of Green Psychology, and coauthor of The Psychedelic Expe *“Christian Rätsch’s remarkable Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants is an essential and comprehensive work that explores not only the expanse of plants that affect human consciousness but the genetic necessity for humanity to experience wide-ranging flexibility in consciousness. The plant world is basic to us, the foundation of our food, clothing, and shelter. But Christian’s book reminds us that human/plant interactions reach much deeper than these three needs; plant intelligence reaches deep within us and teaches us to see, hear, and understand the deep meanings in the world, meanings that we need, and are meant, to encounter in order to remain human.” * Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants and The Lost Language of Plants *". . . the granddaddy of all drug books." * Charles Hayes, High Times, Nov 2005 *"A premier work, and important to have and refer to if you have any relationship to the world of psychoactive plants." * Mark Stavish, Institute for Hermetic Studies, April 2006 *"This encyclopedia is a large and somewhat intimidating book, but the format is friendly and embellished by many beautiful photographs and drawings. . . . this is a major work that will be an essential reference to those interested in cultural and historical aspects of psychedelics." * Herbalgram, No. 79, Aug - Oct 2008 *“This book covers pretty much every psychedelic/psychoactive plant out there, including several that people may not realize have psychoactive properties...For anyone interested in learning more about psychoactive plants this book will likely answer all your questions and more. It's a great complement to other books on the subject as well as a stand-alone book for your education on this expansive and important topic.” * Entheoradio, August 2013 *Table of ContentsForewordPrefaceIntroductionWhat Are Psychoactive Plants?The Use of Psychoactive PlantsPsychoactive Plants and Shamanic ConsciousnessThe Fear of Psychoactive PlantsThe Study of Psychoactive PlantsPsychoactive Plants as Factors in the Development of CultureTHE PSYCHOACTIVE PLANTSOn the Structure of the Major MonographsThe Most Important Genera and Species from A to ZMajor MonographsLittle-Studied Psychoactive PlantsMinor MonographsReputed Psychoactive Plants“Legal Highs”Psychoactive Plants That Have Not Yet Been IdentifiedPSYCHOACTIVE FUNGIThe Archaeology of Entheogenic Mushroom CultsCultivating MushroomsThe Genera and Species from A to ZPurported Psychoactive FungiGeneral Literature on Psychoactive FungiPSYCHOACTIVE PRODUCTSACTIVE CONSTITUENTS OF PLANTSActive Plant Constituents and NeurotransmittersThe Active Plant Constituents from A to ZBotanical Taxonomy of Psychoactive Plants and FungiGeneral BibliographyBibliographiesPeriodicalsBooks and ArticlesAcknowledgmentsIndex

Book SynopsisCraniosacral therapy (CST) has become an important modality in treating trauma and promoting wellness. With its gentle approach to working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, CST has proven equally useful for physical therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors, and osteopaths. One reason for its success has been its underlying theory, as explained by CST pioneer John Upledger. According to Upledger, bodily tissues and cells have individual memories, and traumatic memories can be stored in these cells and tissues. Cell Talk, written for the layperson, explores this concept in depth and shows practitioners how to use it in healing their patients.The book offers simple strategies for treating disease and dysfunction by communicating with these cells to uncover the memories and then follow the healing path they suggest. Upledger blends the scientific aspects of cell biology with insights into the nature of inner consciousness, in the process uncovering the deep links between physiology, energy, health, and healing. Fascinating case studies—from people rescued from serious ailments to “talking” with AIDS cells—show how these ideas can be turned into useful medical treatment. Fascinating anecdotes from the author’s personal and work life add an intimate, human touch to this helpful book.

Book SynopsisAs both ancient spiritual masters and modern quantum physicists acknowledge, the universe is vibration. Through sound and its ability to communicate with our chakras and subtle body, we can tap into the vibration of the universe for greater harmony and stronger relationships; physical, emotional, and spiritual healing; expanded consciousness; and planetary oneness. In this step-by-step guide, sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman and his wife, holistic psychotherapist Andi Goldman, reveal specific ways the voice can resonate the physical and subtle bodies, including 7 powerful chanted Bija Mantras and sacred vowel sounds to balance and align the chakras. Providing exercises with breath, tone, mantras, and seed sounds, the authors show how to practice sound healing either individually or with a partner to strengthen relationships, reach deeper emotional levels, enhance communication, reduce stress, achieve inner balance, and create harmony with those around you as well as the whole planet. The accompanying 60-minute CD offers correct pronunciation and examples of the Bija Mantras, sacred vowels, seed sounds, and vocal exercises in the book as well as recordings of Pythagorean tuning forks, crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, and Tibetan bells, providing the perfect backdrop for beginning a personal or partnered healing sound practice.Trade Review“Chakra Frequencies provides a significant new approach to creating harmony and balance within us by using the power of sound.

Book SynopsisA guide to the surprising benefits of music on your mind, spirit, and body—complete with sound-based breathing and meditation exercisesSince 1991, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been achieving remarkable results by integrating music, vocalization, breathing, and meditation techniques in his work with patients. In The Healing Power of Sound, he presents his sound-based techniques for self-healing—techniques that anyone can use, whether faced with a life-threatening disease or simply seeking relief from the stresses of daily life.Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates. Gaynor shows how, when integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, music can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease.

Book SynopsisA groundbreaking mind-body protocol to heal chronic pain, backed by new research.Chronic pain is an epidemic. Fifty million Americans struggle with back pain, headaches, or some other pain that resists all treatment. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain.Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients.PRT is rooted in neuroscience, which has shown that while chronic pain feels like it's coming from the body, in most cases it's generated by misfiring pain circuits in

Book SynopsisThe discovery and translation of the Gnostic Gospels have revealed Mary Magdalene to be a gifted visionary teacher and the best qualified disciple to lead the Jesus movement following his death. Yet, according to most scholars, only a few fragments of her actual teachings have survived. Sharing more than 20 years of research, inspired by a profound experience at the cave in southern France where Mary Magdalene is reputed to have spent her final years, Jack Angelo reveals that the Fourth Gospel of the New Testament, traditionally attributed to John, is actually a direct transcription of Mary Magdalene's oral teachings. He explains how the Fourth Gospel was recast by more conservative members of the Jesus movement, such as Peter and Andrew, to hide Mary's authorship and suppress her role as head disciple. Delving deeply into the many layers of meaning within the "Gospel of Signs"--the first 11 chapters of the Fourth Gospel which describe seven of Jesus' miracles--he shows how Mary's teachings outline seven key steps for personal transformation and profound healing. For example, the sixth sign describes the shamanic healing of a blind man when Jesus spits on clay and smears the paste over the man's eyes. Angelo explains how the deeper meaning of this sign is about perceiving with the "eyes of the heart." Beyond the beauty and simplicity of Mary's wisdom for personal transformation and healing, Angelo also shows how Mary's heart-centered teachings embody the resurgence of feminine energy that is vitally needed to restore balance to the psyche and health of humanity as well as to Earth.Trade Review“Thank you! This book is a welcome gift for disciples of Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Illuminating texts from the Fourth Gospel, Jack Angelo reveals the perspective of ‘the woman who knew the All’--Mary Magdalene herself. Here at last, flowing from Jesus’s seven miracles, are Magdalene’s wisdom teachings to guide the pilgrim soul on the Way of the Heart.” * Margaret Starbird, author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar and Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile *“Jack Angelo has discovered a treasure chest to which the key has been lost for 2,000 years. In this important and fascinating book Mary Magdalene takes us into the eternal, living stream of her own consciousness and decodes for us the healing wisdom, hidden until now, in the part of the Fourth Gospel called ‘The Book of Signs.’ Angelo shows us how seven miracles of Jesus are intended to be a roadmap to transformation as the blessed couple both teach and model the way of total one-ness and heart-centered knowledge. Patriarchal blindness caused the message to be lost in part, but it still carries dynamic power to heal our planet and end the existential sickness that distorts much of Christian thinking. We come to realize that ‘the beginning is right now’ and creation is happening as we awaken to the words of Maryam, master teacher, beloved disciple, wife, and companion of Yeshua.” * Mary T. Beben, author of The Pleiadian House of Initiation *“The Healing Wisdom of Mary Magdalene is a rich and fascinating read. I could not put it down. Jack Angelo’s insights on the real meaning behind the miracle stories in the gospels are a treasure trove of wisdom much needed in the world today . . . a pleasure to read.” * Tricia McCannon, author of Return of the Divine Sophia and Jesus: The Explosive Story of the 30 Lost *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Prologue Introduction: Restoring the Feminine Energy to Its Rightful Place Part One Discovering Mary Magdalene the Teacher 1 A Childhood Vision 2 The Voice in the Cave 3 Looking behind the Words 4 Seeking the Treasure Map 5 Finding the Treasure Chest Part Two The Way Through: Maryam’s Teachings in the Gospel of Signs 6 Into the Orchard 7 In the Beginning 8 Walking in the Wilderness, Discovering the I AM 9 The Prophet and the Angels Part Three The Seven Signs 10 Sign One: Making the Two One A Marriage and Miraculous Wine • How Is Your Body? • Being Born Again • The Woman at the Well 11 Sign Two: Distant Healing, Humility, and the Last Resort 12 Sign Three: Inertia and Stagnation 13 Sign Four: There Is Always Enough 14 Sign Five: The Sea of Emotions Jesus Walks on Water • Revealing the I AM • Living in Shacks • More Rumbles in the Temple 15 Sign Six: Spitting on Clay I Was Blind, but Now I See • You Are Gods 16 Sign Seven: Breaking Out and Resurrection 17 Your Own Transformation and the Next Step 18 Living the Heart-Centered Approach Glossary Suggestions for Further Reading Index

Book SynopsisThe practice of spagyrics is the application of ancient alchemical working methods to the preparation of tinctures, essences, and other products from medicinal plants. While ordinary tinctures and infusions use only a part of the great curative potential of plants, spagyric methods “open” medicinal plants completely to reveal their more powerful healing properties. Drawing on the rich imagery and symbolism of ancient source materials, Manfred M. Junius describes these methods in great detail, showing readers how to prepare plant remedies alchemically for their own use as well as imparting a knowledge of the ideological world in which alchemistic and hermetic thought flowered. Spagyricsincludes the Plant Magistery of Paracelsus and the Life Elixir recipe of Andreas Libavius among its historic techniques as well as a wealth of scientific information that demonstrates the greater efficacy of alchemical methods of plant essence extraction. This classic source text preserves the nearly forgotten but highly valuable methods of this true hermetic art for preparing natural remedies.Trade Review“Simply put, this is a classic text on plant alchemy, or spagyrics, for the modern practitioner. . . . Anyone serious about learning alchemy needs to have a copy.” * Mark Stavish, director of the Institute of Hermetic Studies and author of The Path of Alchemy *"What makes Junius's book so special is that it is a practical primer on the subject. Traditional methods are presented as well as more modernized suggestions, but all within the strict confines of tradition. . . . Highly recommended." * Cauldron Brasil, May 2007 *If you've always been curious about the real nature of alchemy, this book will help you in that search. If you are looking for more holistic ways to heal, this book will supply many thought-provoking guidelines. It will be cherished by those already familiar with the subject matter, and represents a bold undertaking by its author." * Barbara Bamgerger Scott, Curled Up With a Good Book, Oct 2008 *"The word means 'to draw out' and 'divide,' a basic principle of alchemy. The techniques date back at least to Paracelsus and have been said to release powerful healing properties from plants." * The American Herb Association, 24:4, February 2010 *Table of ContentsFOREWORD BY BRIAN COTNOIR PREFACE1 SPAGYRIA AND SPAGYRICS 2 ADVICE OF BASILIUS VALENTINUS 3 THE THREE PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES AND THE ELEMENTS 4 MERCURY, SULFUR, AND SALT IN THE PLANT WORLD 5 THE EXTRACTION OF THE THREE PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES FROM PLANTS The Extraction of the Essential Oils, That Is, of the Volatile Sulfur Mercury Fixed Sulfur and Its Salt Salt 6 THE STARS The Foundations Stars and Medicinal Plants Days, Hours, and Rhythms of the Planets The Exact Horoscope as the Basis for the Works 7 PREPARATION OF SPAGYRIC TINCTURES AND ESSENCES 8 CIRCULATION 9 THE PLANT MAGISTERY OF PARACELSUS 10 THE CIRCULATUM MINUS OF URBIGERUS 11 ELIXIR--CLYSSUS--VEGETABLE STONE The Opus Vegetabile of M.
