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

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.

Dietas y Recetas de Maria Antonieta

Author: Maria Antonieta Collins

En este libro, la autora intenta ayudar a todos los que padecen el calvario de la gordura desde la perspectiva de su propia experiencia. En primer lugar, se refiere a los componentes adictivos en el acto de comer. Comenta los síntomas y conductas más comunes en las personas involucradas en este problema, las actitudes personales de autocomplacencia y autoengaño, las principales causas de los repetidos fracasos al seguir una dieta y el eterno deambular por consultorios de profesionales -y no tan profesionales- que se dedican a resolver este problema.

María Antonieta afirma que no son las dietas las que fracasan sino nosotros. Lo crucial para tener éxito en la odisea para bajar de peso radica en la decisión personal y en la cabal comprensión de lo que ha llevado a cada persona hasta tal punto de sobrepeso. Resalta que lo importante no es bajar de peso sino el posterior mantenimiento en un peso adecuado, y para ello ofrece consejos prácticos de suma utilidad además de una gran variedad de recetas para comer bien y bajar, de peso.

Publishers Weekly

Often putting her personal health at risk, celebrity Univision journalist Collins has tried everything in her long and constant struggle to lose weight and maintain it, from the latest and most popular diets and medications to special and costly treatments like acupuncture and body wraps. Having maintained her weight for over a year now, she tells her personal story and shares her hard-earned tips for winning the weight-loss battle. This is a frank, humorous, and informative book on a topic of great interest to most Hispanic/ Latina women. Collins draws examples from her personal experience to point out the dangers, myths, and general misinformation that prevail about weight loss. Along the way, she also gives readers a glimpse into the world of Univision, sharing stories about the personal weight management programs of other well-known personalities such as Jorge Ramos, Maria Elena Salinas, and Don Francisco. Even though she uses several sayings and colloquialisms from her native Mexico, she often provides explanatory comments for the non-Mexican reader. The easy and nutritious sample diets and recipes use measurements in kilos and liters, but many recent Hispanic immigrants will be familiar with these measuring systems.

Jewish Paths toward Healing and Wholeness or Understanding Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

Jewish Paths toward Healing and Wholeness: A Personal Guide to Dealing with Suffering

Author: Kerry M Olitzky

"Why me?"

Why do I suffer?

How can I heal?

"Spiritual suffering must be differentiated from physical pain, although the two are intertwined in such a way that it is nearly impossible to distinguish one from the other. We suffer spiritually when we do not grow from our illness, when we do not learn from the experience of physical and emotional pain."
-from the Introduction

Too many of us faced with bodily illness, whether our own pain or that of a loved one, feel lost. What do I do? How do I handle it? This inspiring guide helps us find the ways to deal with and heal from our suffering.

By sharing with us prayers, psalms, meditations and rituals-as well as insights gained from his own experience-Rabbi Kerry Olitzky helps us understand how, when we are confronted with suffering, we can take steps to heal the soul, a vital counterpart to healing the body.

This book helps us initiate a new kind of healing dialogue with God, and shows us the way to restoring our faith and enriching our spirit.

Practical Taoism or The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood

Practical Taoism

Author: Thomas F Cleary

This extraordinary collection of teachings and commentaries illuminates the many profound mysteries of inner alchemy, one of the most important dimensions of the Taoist tradition. The science of inner alchemy consists of meditation practices that enable the individual to have a more intimate, energizing, and inspiring relationship with life. Although these techniques are described in the sourcebooks of ancient Taoism, they are often couched in cryptic symbolic language, making it difficult for today's seekers t put these teachings into practice. Some classical Taoist writers, however, did adopt a more explicit manner of expression. Practical Taoism is a collection of writings from these more accessible commentators on the traditional alchemical texts, compiled by a seventh-generation master of the Northern Branch of the Complete Reality School of Taoism known as the Preserver of Truth.

The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood

Author: Robert Drewett

The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood is a systematic account of research on the psychological aspects of nutrition in children from birth to adolescence. It deals with two major themes: the development of eating and the effects of malnutrition on the developing child. Robert Drewett discusses the developmental problems that arise with eating and food intake, including nursing and weaning in infancy, the handling of solids and the development of food choice and eating habits. Nutritional problems are considered in children born preterm or small for gestational age, or whose growth is poor, in children who are iron deficient or more generally malnourished, and in children with physical illnesses or disabilities, including phenylketonuria and cerebral palsy. The development of eating disorders and obesity are also considered. Drawing on research from both developing and industrialized countries, this book will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals in psychology, nutrition and child health.

Tinnitus: Questions and Answers

Author: Jack A Vernon

Tinnitus patients have questions that most often their doctors and audiologists can't answer. The disorder is not taught in medical schools and a single front runner of a treatment has not emerged. Tinnitus patients typically do not know where to go for help. Thousands resort to chatting on the Internet about their condition. Thousands of others have written to the American Tinnitus Association and to Dr. Jack Vernon for help, compassion, wisdom, and answers. This book is a reflection of Dr. Vernon's 30-year dedication to this problem. His optimism for the condition and willingness to try out new ideas has pushed the mysterious disorder of tinnitus into a national and NIH-funded spotlight. Tinnitus: Questions and Answers focuses on the most frequently asked questions about tinnitus. The questions in this book are from patients. The answers are written for patients and for interested health care providers too. The book covers causes, treatments, and other topics with a format similar to the Q&A column in Tinnitus Today, ATA's quarterly journal.

Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living or The Body Sculpting Bible Swimsuit Workout

Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living: Applications for Living

Author: Neale Donald Walsch

I have learned about life that when we live wholly, we live holy. I have been searching for ways to live my life as a whole person, as an integrated being, for twenty-five years. The first thing I came to understand was that, if I am to live an integrated life, I must become far more integrated with my environment. That is, I must become one with it, and treat it as if it were a part of me, not something from which I was separate, and which was separate from me.

Holistic living means being aware that I am part of a whole system, a whole idea, a whole reality, and that everything I think, say, and do affects that reality-indeed, at some level, creates it.

Are we able to coexist with nature, the universe, and our fellow human beings? Can we live lives that are joyous, harmonious, and largely pain-free? Do we have the ability to tell the truth and change what doesn't work?

Neale Donald Walsch thinks so. Living well--physically, mentally, and spiritually-is within our grasp, should we choose to do so. Here are some practical and inspirational ideas for achieving those goals.

Smart Nutrients: Prevent and Treat Alzheimer's and Senility, Enhance Brain Function and Longevity

Author: Abram Hoffer

Once, senility -- the slow deterioration of mental capacity -- was considered to be an irreversible death sentence. Today, scientific evidence shows that targeted nutritional therapy can be used to fight a variety of diseases affecting the brain, including Alzheimer's, arteriosclerosis, and chronic malnutrition.

They also provide an invaluable guide for all people who wish to achieve optimum health for their thought processes and memory.

These nutrients include niacin and vitamin C, as well as minerals such as zinc, chromium and many others -- each of which plays a crucial role in the maintenance of mental health and the treatment of specific diseases.

Smart Nutrients represents an important bridge to a more fulfilling future.
