Jessica Kingsley Publishers The Five Levels of Taijiquan
Book SynopsisIn order to master Taijiquan you must begin with the most fundamental steps, and systematically work up to the advanced levels, slowly building up your knowledge and technique as you go. This book explains the five levels of Taijiquan from complete beginner to highest level practitioner. Presenting a word for word translation, with commentary, of Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang's original Chinese text, Master Jan Silberstorff provides detailed guidance through each of the five levels. Readers will learn how to assess their current Taiijiquan ability and identify exactly what is needed to reach the next level and ultimately the highest goal - the perfection of Taiji, or reaching a complete state of being.This is an accessible and motivational book for all Taijiquan students and practitioners, as well as anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient art of Taijiquan.Trade ReviewChen has great knowledge of the art and the poetic Taijiquan classics, but chooses to explain the concepts in as practical term as possible. -- Australian Journal of Acupuncture and Chinese MedicineYou will find more practical and useful information crystallised into this one article than in many books, so by reading this you will save yourself both time and money. The Five Levels of Taijiquan is a route map for the study of taijiquan, and is suitable for people of all levels. -- Absolute Tai ChiRegardless of the style you practice, including qigong forms, you can apply the teachings here to good measure. I enjoyed the fact that the original Chinese of the master is included. The translations, by his German student, a taiji master in his own right, are clear and to the point. He also includes much supplementary material, to make the teachings more easily understandable. Another valuable contribution from the folks at Singing Dragon Press, who are becoming an important source of excellent material on the healing arts. -- The Empty VesselTaijiquan is a teaching of the Dao. The Dao is not far from man, but it is man who distances himself from the Dao. The Great Dao is without a gate. If you pursue it with insistence and perseverance and if you enter the depth step by step, you will finally reach it and enter it, just like fire ascending from water, just like a flower blossoming amidst the snow. Hence he who has the determination is indeed going to complete the task. -- Grandmaster Chen XiaowangJan Silberstorff's illuminating commentary on Chen Xiaowang's Five Levels of Taijiquan guides the Taijiquan student from the first step, through to the deepest levels of skill. A meticulous study that will engage the most advanced reader. -- David Gaffney & Davidine Siaw-Voon Sim, authors of Chen Style Taijiquan: The Source of Taiji Boxing and The Essence of Taijiquan, UKThe book that Jan Silberstorff has written is one of the most helpful guides to clearly evaluating a person's progress in learning the martial art of Taijiquan. Jan has provided a precise way of examining this process of moving from beginning to advanced levels of practice. He has included the original lectures by his teacher Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, the 19th generation Gatekeeper of the original Taijiquan tradition. In these lectures Grandmaster Chen identifies the stages of development from being stiff and uncoordinated, struggling to learn the basic choreography to the requirements for the highest level of mastery. Jan has interpreted and made commentaries filled with examples that make the book entertaining as well as illuminating for the reader. This book provides practitioners of all styles of Taijiquan with concrete milestones based upon specific physical skills and their mental associations that enable a person to develop from beginning to advanced level. -- Bill Helm, 20th generation disciple of Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, Daoist priest and founder of Daoist Sanctuary, San Diego, USAFor many, beyond the basic learning of movements and sequences of a Tai Chi form it is difficult to ascertain one's development, particularly once it goes beyond a year or two. The Five Levels of Taijiquan sets out clear, definitive guidelines on how best to evaluate and improve your progress. Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang and Jan Silbertorff set out a blueprint not only on how best to train but, more importantly, what progressive steps are necessary for effective achievement. -- Ronnie Robinson, Editor, Tai Chi Chuan & Oriental Arts magazine, UKTaijiquan Grandmaster, Chen Xiaowang, has often said that no language fully captures the richness of all that is Taiji - even Chinese. But here, in this landmark translation and analysis of Chen Xiaowang's text on the five levels of Taijiquan, Jan Silberstorff has captured the essence of Taijiquan's progressive training in English. Jan's uniquely insightful commentary and explication of an accurate translation of Chen Xiaowang's writing on the topic, marks a turning point in the scholarship of this sublime discipline. Imbued with a rare depth of view into authentic Chen family Taiiquan - the original martial art from which all styles of Taiji emanate - The Five Levels of Taijiquan makes a substantial contribution to the field, as the essential guide for any Taijiquan student's practice and progress in this ancient martial art. -- Stephan Berwick, Founder of True Tai Chi, Chinese martial arts instructor, and co-author of Taijiquan Hand & Sword, Taijiquan: Chen Taiji 38 Form and Applications and Tai Chi for Kids, Washington, DC, USAI was quite excited about reading this book before it arrived, and being only a thin volume, devoured it in a couple of sittings. Master Silberstorff has a clear and simple style, writing as someone who evidently practices what he preaches and knows his subject matter extremely well...The fact that the target audience for this book is so incredibly small enhances my respect for Master Silberstorff. He writes for the elite as only a true Master can. -- SpiritualiseI would venture it is not the sort of book to read cover-to-cover in one sitting, more the sort of book you can return to again and again. In summary, this short book is well worth reading. -- Tai Chi FinderTable of ContentsPreface. Introduction. Introductory Commentary to All 5 Levels. Level 1. Level 2. Level 3. Level 4. Level 5.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company The Union of Isis and Thoth: Magic and Initiatory
Book SynopsisDeep within each of us lives a primal memory of a time when the natural world was recognized as divine and our temples were built from sacred materials enlivened through magic. Temples were not places you visited once a week; they were centres of community, divine work, healing, and wisdom, places where Heaven and Earth meet. This union of Heaven and Earth--the sacred temple--is also a union of Thoth and Isis: the Egyptian god of wisdom and the creative cosmic force and the Egyptian goddess of civilizing knowledge. Their relationship established the celestial teachings on Earth, for Thoth taught Isis all the mysteries and magic she knows and Isis acted as Thoth's instrument to deliver the teachings in a form humanity could use. In this initiatic guide to temple building on the spiritual and physical planes, Normandi Ellis and Nicki Scully explain how to create a communal spiritual structure for connecting with the ancient Egyptian pantheon as well as how to consecrate yourself and become a vessel suitable for divine wisdom and a home for your personal gods. The authors detail the construction, shamanic visioning, and ritual consecration of a Moon Temple dedicated to Thoth. They explore teachings that help you develop relationships with the Egyptian neteru and realize your place within the family of the Egyptian pantheon. They guide you as you create your inner heart temple, the adytum, a safe place in which to receive guidance and access your higher spiritual bodies and oracular gifts. They provide shamanic journeys and initiations on ascension, shamanic death and renewal, soul retrieval and healing, multidimensional realities, and more. By creating a sacred temple within and without, we each can take part in the union of Isis and Thoth and restore the magic of the Egyptian mysteries to our time.Trade Review. . . skillfully interweaves ancient wisdom and spiritual healing into a practical plan to help people actualize their highest potential and sacred purpose.

Lipton, Ph.D., epigenetic scientist and author of The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolut *“The Union of Isis and Thoth is a fine distillation of Nicki Scully and Normandi Ellis’s work defining the essential characteristics of the neteru, and they share their guidance for building temples and the invocation of these divine beings. This excellent book with beautiful photos and illustrations offers their shared path for housing the divine in the world, amazingly in a pure and simple text that comes from very high places.” * Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mind Chronicles: A Visionary Guide into Past Lives and Revelations *“This is a fabulous book--a treasure. It begins with cautionary information about metaphysical practice and proceeds through a sweeping overview of the gods of ancient Egypt, revealing that the origin of the ancient word for a divine being--neter--and the root of the Coptic word netjer, meaning “god,” etymologically become the English word nature. This book is a rich resource destined to become a classic.” * Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., anthropologist and coauthor of Awakening to the Spirit World *“Postmodern Priestesses Nicki and Normandi have crafted a book for temple builders of the future, to teach us the ancient mysteries and open the gates of wisdom embedded in the living gods and goddesses of Egypt. Thoth and Isis have offered this vision to these authors, who share with our desecrated world a vision of planetary renewal.” * Alex Grey and Allyson Grey, artists and coauthors of Net of Being *“The authors have written a rich shamanic tapestry that eloquently weaves the sacred threads of Thoth’s wisdom into the high magic and love of Queen Isis. Enter and explore the initiations presented in this book through the union of these two amazing energies.” * Linda Star Wolf, Ph.D., founder of Venus Rising Association for Transformation and coauthor of Shama *“. . . an invitation to forge a deep, meaningful, and direct relationship with the pantheon and your inner sanctuary from a place of equanimity: eye-to-eye, peer-to-peer, divine-to-divine. Perhaps your best friend, divine partner, and staunch ally resides within these pages. Once you are reunited your life is forever changed. * Danielle Rama Hoffman, author of The Temples of Light and The Council of Light *“Normandi and Nicki’s combined and deep wisdom of ancient Egypt and its pantheon weave a portal of initiation through magic and ritual. This book is a must have!” * Kathryn Ravenwood, author of How to Create Sacred Water *“The Union of Isis and Thoth is a unique gift to all those questing for the essence of mystical Egypt. It is the essential guide of practical wisdom delivered from the mind of Thoth to a waiting world.” * Naomi Ozaniec, author of The Breath of Isis *“The Union of Isis and Thoth is yet another gem which causes me to stop every few pages and think with delighted envy: I didn’t know that!” * Alan Richardson, author of The Inner Guide to Egypt *"All true seekers can benefit from the vivid imagery and profound initiatory teachings provided in this remarkable book." * Robert Simmons, The Tucson Metaguide, January 2016 *“The esoteric tradition has long held that the initiate is a temple, and thus the purpose of initiation is to prepare that human temple for a greater influx of the Divine. The Union of Isis and Thoth teaches us how to make that initiatory temple real within ourselves. The inner journeys through which they lead us are beautiful and visceral. The magic is potent. The Mysteries are revealed by experienced teachers. Let this book help you realize the union of Heaven and Earth in the place where they have always met: the sacred temple of the self.” * M. Isidora Forrest, author of Isis Magic and Offering to Isis *“This is a beautiful book that uses, explains and teaches the ancient mysteries and opens up the wisdom of the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Egypt.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Holistic Medicine and the Extracellular Matrix:
Book SynopsisReveals how the extracellular matrix offers scientific proof for holism • Examines the function of the extracellular matrix, the inner ocean that unifies all our cells and controls them in a coordinated and integrated fashion • Explores how the extracellular matrix builds and repairs itself and how holistic therapy can be applied based on this knowledge • Introduces new and old holistic and herbal protocols for treatment of the matrix The cells in our bodies are not independent units. They do not control their own feeding, elimination, migration, or reproduction; they are controlled by signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) that surrounds them. This all-encompassing inner ocean unifies all our cells and controls them in a coordinated and integrated fashion. Revealing the stunning implications of the extracellular matrix, Matthew Wood shows how it clearly explains the actions and efficacy of holistic therapies. He explores the groundbreaking research of Alfred Pischinger, who discovered the ECM in 1975, as well as the role of the matrix in transmitting and enacting the genetic code, including the roles of the mitochondria, the nucleus, and ribosomes. Wood explains how modern drugs, directed at specific receptors on the cell membrane, interfere with bodily self-regulation. He details how holistic therapies modify the environment of the cell and strengthen the whole, bringing the body back to homeostasis and consequently offering true healing.Trade Review“Brilliant! A substantial and important addition to our understanding of the human body, chronic disease, and herbal medicine.” * Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of Sacred Plant Medicine *“Matthew Wood is among the most respected and well-known herbalists of our era and is the author of several brilliant textbooks on herbal medicine. Holistic Medicine and the Extracellular Matrix is his opus and masterpiece. Exceptionally well written and impeccably researched, this book debunks the popular theory that cells of the body function as independent units existing independently of one another. Instead, he meticulously reveals in easy-to-understand terms the implications of the extracellular matrix, the inner ocean in which the cells exist, and how this simple switch hugely impacts our understanding of healing. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in health, healing, and medicine.” * Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist and author of Planting the Future *“Holistic Medicine and the Extracellular Matrix is a deep examination of the scientific justification of concepts discussed in traditional systems of medicine for millennia--that the human organism is a living wholeness unto itself, not a compilation of unintelligent biochemical and cellular machinery. This groundbreaking text reveals the truth of how our bodies function at a fundamental level and how we can rejuvenate our health on all levels with natural, holistic approaches to healing. It’s akin to the discovery of the heliocentric model of our solar system but for the understanding and practice of holistic medicine . . . truly revolutionary.” * Sajah Popham, author of Evolutionary Herbalism *“Matthew Wood’s book turns biomedical physiology on its head and presents a science-based holistic perspective on how and why herbs really work. His finest book yet!” * Robert Dale Rogers, RH (AHG), author of Rogers’ School of Herbal Medicine *“In his groundbreaking book, Holistic Medicine and the Extracellular Matrix, Matthew Wood brings us a more balanced scientific perspective and further proves the basic tenet of holism while condemning reductionism as a model for how biological systems work. A revolutionary work poised to overthrow the conceptual foundation of modern science and its therapeutic models and drug therapies, this book directs treatment toward the individual as a whole and blows the lid off a ‘onesize-fits-all’ approach to modern pharmacology and compares our situation to that of Galileo and the Church. I recommend this book for all students of herbalism, holistic medicine, and the curative arts.” * Thea Summer Deer, clinical herbalist and author of Wisdom of the Plant Devas *“Matthew Wood’s brilliant new book definitively establishes the scientific basis of holistic healing. Wood shows how optimal health--homeostasis--is in the extracellular matrix, the fundamental basis of alternative medicine. Drugs circumvent the self-regulation of our bodies and are creating more diabetes, cardiovascular distress, and cancer, yet holistic therapies improve the cellular environment and our bodies’ balance. I especially admire this book because Wood brings in Arthur Firstenberg’s research on the intensifying electromagnetic frequencies as the cause of much modern disease. The extracellular matrix that transports our bodily fluids is very sensitive to these frequencies that may be causing the huge rise in inflammation today. This is a must-read for herbalists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, energy therapists, bodyworkers, and anyone directing their own path to healing.” * Barbara Hand Clow, author of Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini *"Matthew Wood’s presentation of Holistic Medicine and the Extracellular Matrix brings into focus a number of concepts in alternative ways of thinking about health. While the book does not provide all the answers, it rather asks the questions we might have about human health and disease. The author proposes new angles, a different perspective (his key word) and a whole array of ideas about the microbiome and the cellular terrain. Matthew Wood’s herbals and reference books on Western herbalism are exceptional." * Herbology East and West *Table of ContentsForeword by Stephen Harrod Buhner IntroductionScientific Justification for Holistic Medicine 1 The Extracellular MatrixThe Primal Organ System 2 What Is Going On in There?

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Supporting Your Grieving Client: A Guide for
Book SynopsisFor most people, grief is an inevitable part of life and if you're a wellness practitioner, then the likelihood is that you will at some point work with a bereaved client. This may initially seem like a heavy responsibility and so this guide aims to help you feel prepared and confident in how you support your client. It will explain how loss and grief can place tremendous strain on the body and how it may manifest physically, mentally, and spiritually, whilst equipping you with the tools and resources you need to support your grieving client.Vanessa May draws from over 16 years' worth of experience as a registered nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and trauma-informed holistic grief coach. As a result, she is able to cover nutritional medicine support whilst also educating readers on grief models and theories versus the actual reality of grief through her own experiences of traumatic loss and various case studies.This is an invaluable book for all types of wellness practitioners and therapists who would like to understand how to approach and make space for their clients' bereavement.Trade ReviewVanessa's courageous survival of devastating personal bereavement combines with extensive professional experience to make this a deeply insightful guide into working sensitively and confidently with clients affected by trauma and the complexity of loss or unprocessed grief. I believe this is the essential 'go to' handbook for every therapist, wellness coach or health professional. This is now required reading for our wellbeing coaching students. -- Elaine Wilkins, founder of Chrysalis Effect Health and author of The Trauma Informed Wellbeing Coaching Accreditation for Health Professionals.I would highly recommend Vanessa May's book to any nutritional therapist, or indeed any health professional, to give them an understanding of the devastating impact that grief can have on an individual's health. If you are working with a client who is stricken with grief, unless their emotional needs are heard and supported, you may well find that they don't respond to your advice as you might hope or expect and that their grief dramatically hinders any improvements in their health, mental and physical, despite your best efforts. This book gives invaluable advice and insight on how to work sympathetically with grieving clients in order to support their individual health needs, both mental and physical. -- Kate Alexander, BANT Registered Nutritionist, BANT Membership ManagerGrief is messy and there's a lot of it about. Grief can contribute to chronic disease - even kill, yet most practitioners are unaware of its consequences. Vanessa May ably details the key nutritional support for grieving clients, while providing an excellent blueprint for understanding grief's impact on the gut and nervous system. A well-written, "easy" read, despite its subject, and a vital missing link in practitioner education. -- Simon Martin, editor of IHCAN magazineTable of ContentsContentsIntroductionChapter 1Types of griefChapter 2The skills you most needChapter 3Physical manifestations of grief Chapter 4Mental health, trauma and PTSDChapter 5Mind, body and spiritChapter 6Case studiesChapter 7PlatitudesChapter 8Grief models and theories versus the reality of griefChapter 9Nutritional medicine supportChapter 10Recommendations for your grieving clientAfterwordReferencesAppendixAbout the authorAcknowledgements

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Principles and Practice of Homeopathy: The
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive textbook provides a detailed, practical and thorough basis for the understanding and application of the homeopathic process. Drawing on the experience and knowledge of a wealth of contributors, the book offers the foundations for the safe and broadest practice of modern homeopathy.Divided into 6 sections, this book takes the understanding of homeopathy from basic principles to the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, the first prescription, and difficult, confused and hidden cases. Each section progresses through five themes broadly divided into philosophy, material medica, case taking, case analyses and case management. Each theme is woven together through the text and, section by section, builds into an essential study guide for the homeopathic student. It provides opportunities for reflection, and invites all practitioners to engage in their own personal and professional development.Trade ReviewAt last, the first comprehensive modern homeopathy textbook in English since Herbert Roberts in 1936 and George Vithoulkas in 1978, and it surpasses them both. Despite being a textbook it is exciting and innovative with time and space for reflection and personal growth. The inspired choice of authors for some of the chapters (Sherr, Norland and Curtin, for example) crosses boundaries and enlivens the discussions. Read this and your practical understanding of the theories of homeopathy will grow. It is equally suitable for experienced medical and professional homeopaths, and for students on all qualification courses. -- Francis Treuherz MA RSHom FSHom, Registered Homeopath, Homeopathic Private Practitioner, London and Letchworth, UKA tour de force, from basic homeopathy, through practical application to the more esoteric boundaries of holistic thought. Something for everyone. David Owen's style of interactive teaching is reflected in this comprehensive work - if you want to be both educated and challenged to broaden your horizons, then read this book. -- John Saxton BVet Med VetFFHom Cert. IAVH, MRCVS President, Faculty of Homeopathy, Homeopathic teacher, author and veterinary homeopathic referral practitioner, UKOne of the confusing aspects of homeopathic practice has been the apparently random focus of different prescribers on varying aspects of a particular case. David Owen presents a theoretical background from within which to understand and work with this phenomenon. From the outset he makes it clear that this book should bring the reader to ask and meditate on questions, as much as it may provide some answers. This is not another study of materia medica. It is primarily a study into the concepts that lie behind, and the process of case analysis, developed in a way and to a degree that I have not met before. It will be a very useful textbook for students, and offer experienced practitioners a source for reflection and further development of their understanding of and competency with their work. Starting from a study of different models of health, the book takes us through the themes involved in simpler case presentations on to those in difficult cases. Whilst being primarily a theoretical discussion, case examples are frequently used for illustration and avenues provided to assist with the many obstacles in the way of the homeopath. -- Dr Nick Goodman MbBS MFHom FACNEM, General Practitioner and registered homeopath, Sydney, AustraliaThis is the most comprehensive book there is on the principles and practice of homeopathy. The beauty of this book is that its breadth is matched in equal measure by its depth. No aspect of homeopathy is neglected, from local prescribing to Sankaran's sensations and miasms. The style is at once practical and profound, and honours the many different ways that homeopathy is practised. I am particularly impressed by Dr Owen's numerous insights into the psychodymamics of the homeopathic history, and his emphasis on the homeopath's own personal evolution. In his own words, by reading this book the student's work is transformed 'from being a necessary task to being an opportunity for growth'. -- Dr Philip Bailey MBBS MFHom, Private Practitioner and author of Homeopathic Psychology (North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, California), Fremantle, West AustraliaThis book drips holism and there is wisdom here aplenty. Speaking as someone who has wrestled with homeopathy for 30 years, David's book touches on concerns and connections that any serious practitioner will share. I predict it will become a classic. -- Professor David Peters, School of Integrated Health, University of Westminster, London, UKThis exceptional book gathers, reflects on, and deeply enquires into, the evolving principles of homeopathy in a way that encourages any practitioner to develop themselves, their understanding and their art. Written with an approach that invites reflective pause, the reader is supported, encouraged and challenged to review issues of health, self, illness, caring and treatment. This weave is practical and accessible, rooted in clinical practice and examples, yet tackles at the same time the profound issues and questions which homeopathic practice and training raises. This is an important step forward in homeopathic textbooks that I would recommend whatever your current level of practice. -- David Reilly, Consultant, Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital, Researcher and Teacher, Glasgow Homeopathic Academic CentreTable of ContentsSection I.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Awakening Somatic Intelligence: Understanding,
Book SynopsisFocussing on distinct body practice from a range of different methods, Graeme Lynn demonstrates how to use the physical body to encourage general health and wellbeing. Starting with the fundamental concepts of movement to more advanced practice, this book will serve as a comprehensive guide to developing the physical body to transform the quality of movement, and bring greater pleasure and effectiveness into every action.Specific lessons include The Alexander Technique, The Feldenkrais Method, and Hatha Yoga. Describing the core benefits of these methods, why they complement each other and how to use them, this is essential reading for students and practitioners of somatic methods as well as anyone interested in learning new ways to optimise health and wellbeing.Trade ReviewI have known Graeme Lynn for over 35 years and his lifetime's study of somatic methodology shines through in this volume, "Awakening Somatic Intelligence". Graeme has brought together three unique streams of thought and practice in an exemplary fashion. A treasure chest for the neophyte but equally valuable to the experienced practitioner. An important book to include on one's journey toward conscious awareness. -- Marta Hunter, senior Alexander Technique teacher and trainer, Vancouver, BCThrough his uncommonly broad experience and practice with the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Hatha yoga, Rolfing and Hanna Somatics, Graeme Lynn has clarified the underlying principles that unify them. In this thoughtful and insightful analysis, Graeme effectively highlights their similarities and differences and provides the reader with interesting and practical exploratory exercises to deepen self-understanding . His book is a 'must read' for both experienced practitioners and also for those interested in improving the quality of functional life. -- Al Wadleigh, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, owner of TheFeldenkraisStore.comGraeme Lynn is a somatic integrationist, melding the ideas of Moshe Feldenkrais, F.M.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Menopause Bootcamp
Book SynopsisTrade Review“I feel a thousand times smarter after reading Menopause Bootcamp. Why does no one tell us?? As a woman approaching a certain age, I'm so grateful to Dr. Suzanne for demystifying and educating on this very natural process with her compassion and humor and experience. This book is so rich with important information that I can return to it for years to come.” — Rashida Jones, Grammy Award-winning actor, writer, and producer “Menopause Bootcamp is a remarkable feat. Gilberg-Lenz is a renowned MD, who combines medical wisdom with lifestyle wellness practices to improve women’s quality of life. Menopause is not the end; rather, it’s a metamorphosis of body and spirit. This phase in a woman’s life has been overlooked for far too many years. I’m delighted to encounter a paradigm shifting perspective from an open-minded, patient-first, radically honest leader in the field.” — Mark Hyman, MD, Director, the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet “Menopause Bootcamp takes a fierce approach to this key life transition for women. Fueled by unapologetic anger at how menopause has been twisted and misunderstood by the patriarchy, this book not only gives women the truth about our bodies in middle-age, but helps us embrace our authenticity and wholeness as wise women." — Kristin Neff, Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin, Author of Fierce Self-compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive “No one ever told me about menopause. It was just a weird, ominous word that I suddenly became aware of when it started happening to me. I know we all wish our mothers had told us exactly how to deal with our periods, but I truly think we need them to prepare us for menopause. For those of you who are young now, do yourself a favor: read this and don’t be afraid. Knowledge is power. For those of you who are my age—who grew up with the shame, under the cloak and dagger of never talking about it—I present to you Dr. Suzanne’s book.” — Pamela Segall Adlon, Director/Producer/Writer "Accessible and down-to-earth, this will be a boon for women struggling with this time in their life." — Publishers Weekly

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Biokinetics and Biodynamics of Human
Book SynopsisFifty years ago the field of human embryology was incomplete; prior to that time the anatomy of early human embryos was still unknown, and there was much to be learned about the older stages of human embryonic development. It is now understood that human organs result from step-by-step differentiations of the growing human embryo. Research by renowned embryologist Erich Blechschmidt, MD, showed that differentiations are not only the result of a gene effect, but are also brought about through growth initiated by extragenetic (occurring outside the gene) information. Without this extragenetic information the differentiation would not begin. Dr. Blechschmidt and coauthor Raymond Gasser, PhD, maintain that Haeckel's biogenetic law (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) was an erroneous attempt to explain developmental processes. Blechschmidt's human embryological investigations showed that Darwin's principles (mutation and selection) are likely valid for the origin of the species, but that they cannot explain the ontogenesis of the organs. The ontogenesis of each individual cannot be derived from phylogenetic facts. The authors stress that a clear distinction must be made between the vast field of phylogenetics and the much more exact and understandable field of ontogenetics—particularly the process of differentiation—and their goal is to present not only the abstract biokinetic principles of differentiation, but the originality of embryonic human beings as well. Their knowledge of developmental movements leads to their conclusion that differentiation is an undivided biodynamic process that occurs during development and includes the chemical processes as well. Logically organized into two sections (the first covers early metabolic fields and includes chapters on the one-cell human ovum, the early embryo, blood vessels, the nervous system, head region, trunk, and limbs; the second describes metabolic fields in later developmental stages, distinguishing fields of corrosion, densation, contusion, distusion, retention, dilation, liquation, and detraction), Biokinetics and Biodynamics of Human Differentiation warrants reading by thoughtful professionals in a number of fields concerned with embryonic differentiation. A new preface by Dr. Gasser addresses how the book's principles and findings were and are understood in the field of human embryology.

Potter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale What Are You Hungry For
Book SynopsisThe basis for the PBS Special, What Are You Hungry For? is the breakthrough book that can bring weight under effortless control by linking it to personal fulfillment in every area of a reader's life.After promoting this message worldwide for thirty years, bestselling author Deepak Chopra focuses on the huge problem of weight control in America with exciting new concepts. What are you hungry for? Food? Love? Self-esteem? Peace? In this manual for higher health, based on the latest findings in both mainstream and alternative medicine, Deepak Chopra creates a vision of weight loss based on a deeper awareness of why people overeat - because they are trying to find satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real fulfillment. Repudiating the failed approaches of crash dieting and all forms of deprivation, Chopra's new book aims directly at the problem of finding fulfillment. When that problem is solved, he argues, normal eating falls into place automatically, and the entire system of mind and body achieves what it really desires. “Everyone’s life story is complicated, and the best intentions go astray because people find it hard to change,” writes Chopra. “Bad habits, like bad memories, stick around stubbornly when we wish they’d go away. But you have a great motivation working for you, which is your desire for happiness. I define happiness as the state of fulfillment, and everyone wants to be fulfilled. If you keep your eye on this, your most basic motivation, then the choices you make come down to a single question: “What am I hungry for?” Your true desire will lead you in the right direction. False desires lead in the wrong direction.” Wherever you are in life, this book will help point you in that right direction.
