Maps to Ecstacy: A Healing Journey for the Untamed Spirit

Author: Gabrielle Roth

In this revised edition of Maps to Ecstacy, Gabrielle Roth expands on the themes that have guided her: ways of transforming daily life into sacred art. Her work in teaching movement has been described as a marriage of art and healing.

Each chapter initiates readers into one of the five sacred powers necessary for survival and reveals the five life cycles that lead to enlightenment. The creative process brings readers in touch with these five sacred powers by freeing the body to experience the power of being, expressing the heart to experience the power of loving, emptying the mind to experience the power of self-knowledge, awakening the soul to experience the power of seeing, and embodying the spirit to experience the power of healing.

Roth shows readers how to awaken latent shamanic powers; reconnect to primal knowledge through exercises, dance, song, poetry, meditation, theatre, and ritual; and incorporate these principles into contemporary life.

What People Are Saying

She might dance on the path, but she also rocks on the page.

Brooke Medicine Eagle
Gabrielle Roth's book is a joy, a truly moving experience from a very fine teacher. It is both fun to read and immensely instructive. Don't expect to finish the book in a couple of sittings -- keep it around and work with it over time like an old friend. Five stars for Gabrielle Roth and Maps to Ecstasy

Im Like So Fat or Cults

I'm, Like, So Fat!: Helping Your Teen Make Healthy Choices about Eating and Exercise in a Weight-Obsessed World

Author: Dianne Neumark Sztainer

Hit the gym for a workout--but sit for hours at your computer. Supersize your value meals--but downsize your waistline. Today's media-saturated teenagers are bombarded with mixed messages that distort their self-image and lead many to overeat and others to starve themselves. When "I feel fat" becomes a teen's common refrain, how can worried parents respond constructively? With "I'm, Like, SO Fat!" Dr. Dianne Neumark-Sztainer shows parents how to strike the difficult balance between bolstering self-esteem and offering constructive advice. Drawing on her landmark study, Project EAT (Eating Among Teens), and her experience as a mother of four, Neumark-Sztainer offers a wealth of science-based, practical ideas for instilling healthy eating and exercise habits, educating teens about nutrition and portion size, and talking about body image. Here is a rock-solid foundation that parents everywhere can build on to help their teens stay fit, eat well, and feel good about their looks in a world where too-perfect bodies are used to sell everything from cosmetic surgery to fast food.

Library Journal

Health It is indeed a weight-obsessed world when even Cookie Monster comes under fire for his eating habits. In this thorough and sensible book, Neumark-Sztainer (epidemiology, Univ. of Minnesota) shows parents how to help their teens make wise food choices-now and in the future. With the blunt advice that one should never "go on a diet," the author stresses lifestyle changes, not quick fixes. Parents can be positive role models by providing healthy breakfasts and dinners, reducing kids' time watching TV images of thin people, and helping kids make wise choices of food on the go. Teens need to know (and they don't) what a portion is, what a calorie is, and why these are important. The approach here is practical and not authoritarian; the author knows it's difficult to ask teens to give up fries and large sodas; she knows families eat out, but it doesn't need to be a high-fat, high-calorie experience. There's nothing here about the new food pyramid, and low-carb diets that label whole food groups as bad are not seen as helpful. James Lock and Daniel La Grange's Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder focuses more on disorders; this book stresses health. Excellent for public libraries.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Cults: Faith, Healing, and Coercion

Author: Marc Galanter

Using material gleaned from twenty-five years of direct encounters with cults and their detractors, as well as extensive research, Marc Galanter offers the most extensive psychological analysis of these organizations available.

Additional sections discuss psychosocial complications, sexual health, and obesity and physical inactivity. Medical terms and procedures are clearly defined and explained throughout the text.
