A smart, sexy guide to embracing the repressed, tabooed, and often unwanted aspects of ourselves so we can discover our inner power and finally live the life we deserve.

We always get exactly what we want; but often, though we may not be aware of it, what we most want is dark--very dark.

Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality--the other, the shadow side--is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses--our existential kink. Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we're undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliott, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliott asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence.

Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side's guilty pleasures, love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliott shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.

Volume 1 is Psychosomatics of Adults. Psychosomatics of Children is Volume 3.

This book is for everyone! Volume 1, Version 16 has been reformatted to reduce the page count to help support the book's spine. The content remains the same; however, we did adjust the spacing.

For Volume 1: In this 1.5 KG, 7 x 10 inches, 680-page book AND 722 medical conditions for adults, you will:

Understand the causes of emotional, mental, and physical ailments that stem from your ancestry, conception, birth, and childhood.

Under each disease, you will find emotional components and accurate vital points guiding you to effective alternative ways to heal and how to find core issues. The book also asks reflective questions to support you in diving deeper into your psychosomatic journey.

In Metaphysical Anatomy, I wrote about diseases from A to Z, the emotional components related to those diseases, and important points regarding how to approach the condition to improve one's quality of life. Metaphysical Anatomy includes a step-by-step guide for identifying the psychosomatic pattern related to medical conditions. These conditions can be activated by circumstances in your present life, ancestry, conception, womb, birth trauma, childhood, or adult life. It builds on existing work from many famous authors, making it much more practical, specific, detailed, and ultimately much more effective! This book is equally valuable for experienced alternative practitioners and those interested in self-healing. You will love this book and the Metaphysical Anatomy Healing Technique MAT.

Concise, potent, poetic messages of inspiration, direction, and encouragement for you to embrace rest and reflection as a deep spiritual practice.

In this compelling follow-up to her popular book, Pause, Rest, Be, Octavia F. Raheem offers succinct, gem-like teachings that invite us to find ways to embrace rest in our daily lives. Raheem posits that the most sustainable future is a well-rested one, and that rest isn't a luxury--it is a necessary spiritual practice available to us all.

Raheem uses personal reflection, and creative, evocative sutras (or, just as aptly, aphorisms, threads, psalms, or proverbs) and inquiry to guide us toward a more well-rested present and future. The forty sutras fall into three categories:

• Rest as a place of refuge from the storms of life
• Rest as a place to remember who you are
• Rest as a place of revelation

Rest Is Sacred invites the reader to reflect on our relationship to the grind culture and begin to see rest as a contemplative practice and way of life.

Approximately 20% of the population is sensitive or in some way psychic. Being sensitive or psychic can allow you to understand the world in a way that most people can't, and to see beyond what others are able to. But for many of you sensitivities are a burden, causing overwhelm or even physical ailments.

Most information about psychic abilities on the market is aspirational, meaning that all of the books out there focused on opening your third eye or becoming psychic are not meant for the highly sensitive person. You don't want to become more sensitive, you may in fact be holding on for dear life because you are overwhelmed, panicked, have issues with sleep, body pain, headaches, digestive issues, and constantly shifting emotions. Or you might be mildly sensitive, but still need skills to manage going to work, or want to know more about how to become more functional while still being sensitive in this world. Learn how psychic abilities and sensitivities develop, where you are on the spectrum of these abilities and sensitivities, and most importantly, the basic and intermediate skills and techniques needed to be healthier, more functional, and to feel in control of your sensitivities and psychic abilities, so that you can live in the world more joyfully again.

Dr. Svoboda's original work on the constitutional types in Ayurveda has been considered a classic for many years. His new revision and expansion of the subject comes after much further research and practical experience. Dr. Vasant Lad points out: The healing science of Ayurveda is based totally upon the knowledge of prakriti, the individual constitution. If every individual knows his own constitution, then one can understand, for instance, what is a good diet and style of life for oneself. One man's food is another man's poison. Therefore, to make one's life healthy, happy and balanced, the knowledge of constitution is absolutely necessary.

Find self-love, self-acceptance, and true growth through understanding the dark and light that coexist in you.

Over the course of your life, you push difficult emotions and experiences aside, but they never truly leave you. These elements form your shadow self, the dark side of your personality that most people try to repress. Shadow work is a method of embracing and seeking to understand this darker aspect of yourself so that you can release the pain and trauma of the past and become a more healed and balanced person. A Guide to Shadow Work will be your guide as you walk toward embracing your shadow self:

• Learn to see your shadow self and recognize the impact it has on your life
• Use targeted journal prompts to explore your shadow self and bring it into the light
• Practice deep meditation to begin to release the experiences you've repressed
• Retrain yourself with habits that bring you a healthier lifelong relationship with your shadow

Darkness and light coexist in every person. Only by doing the hard work of acknowledging the darkness can you begin to heal, love and accept yourself, and truly grow.

World-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Ratsch provides the latest scientific updates to this classic work on psychoactive flora by two eminent researchers.

- Numerous new and rare color photographs complement the completely revised and updated text.

- Explores the uses of hallucinogenic plants in shamanic rituals throughout the world.

- Cross-referenced by plant, illness, preparation, season of collection, and chemical constituents.

Three scientific titans join forces to completely revise the classic text on the ritual uses of psychoactive plants. They provide a fascinating testimony of these plants of the gods, tracing their uses throughout the world and their significance in shaping culture and history. In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful of those plants, which are known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness, have always been regarded as sacred. The authors detail the uses of hallucinogens in sacred shamanic rites while providing lucid explanations of the biochemistry of these plants and the cultural prayers, songs, and dances associated with them. The text is lavishly illustrated with 400 rare photographs of plants, people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactive flora.

Everything you are--your personality, beliefs, aspirations, talents and fears--is the result of your soul's many incarnations.

To help you tap into this wealth of past-life experience and dramatically increase your potential for success in this lifetime, past-life psychic and author Ainslie MacLeod offers THE OLD SOUL'S GUIDEBOOK: Who You Are, Why You're Here, and How to Navigate Life on Earth.

Building on his award-winning books THE INSTRUCTION and THE TRANSFORMATION, Ainslie delivers unique insights and exercises to help you:

● Understand why your destiny is so much more obvious than you think
● Identify past-life sources of present-life issues like low self-esteem, unexplained ailments, and irrational fears
● Escape the victimization trap through self-empowerment

Past lives explain everything, shares Ainslie. Without knowing where you've been, you can never truly know where you're going. Understanding your soul's journey is the key to living a happier and more fulfilling life.

We may not realize it, but negative feelings can be as toxic to our health as physical poisons, wearing on us and causing depression, illness, and burnout. In this updated edition of her classic How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, shaman and psychologist Sandra Ingerman reveals the secrets of the ancient alchemists and offers strategies for processing harmful thoughts and emotions and turning spiritual lead into gold. Her methods are simple...but they can change you, others, and the world.

Unraveling trauma in the body, brain and mind--a revolution in treatment. Now in 17 languages.

In this culmination of his life's work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

The Healing Journey of Grief: A Roadmap to Hope is a poignant exploration of resilience and renewal in the face of unimaginable loss. Drawing from personal experience, the author invites readers on a transformative journey spanning almost a decade marked by the sudden passing of their beloved son at age twenty-eight. Through raw and heartfelt storytelling, the book navigates the tumultuous terrain of grief, offering solace, insight, and practical guidance for those grappling with their own losses. From the depths of despair to the glimmer of healing hope, this moving narrative illuminates the power of perseverance, community, and love to light the way forward on the path to healing.

What makes The Healing Journey of Grief: A Road Map To Hope especially valuable to its readers is its focus on hope. We all have, or will, encounter extreme loss in our lives, feeling unsure how we move forward. Bren does not shy away from the pain of loss, whilst continually pointing her readers toward the possibility of healing and renewal. Her message is one of gentle encouragement, that grief is a natural part of life, and whilst painful, it can also be a source of profound growth and transformation. This book is a guide for all of us encountering loss, and a great gift to share, lifting us up in our darkest hour.

--Phyllis Hanson Ansusinha

Author of GlowingUP and Your Daily Glow

Knowing Bren in our professional writing and fitness teaching world capacities for several decades, I can say that in a world that often pressures people to move on from their losses, this book is a gentle reminder that healing is a process, a journey with a welcome promise of finding hope along the way. We all search for that assurance that hope and light are possible even in the darkest moments. You will find that assurance as you read The Healing Journey Of Grief: A Roadmap to Hope.

--Lawrence Biscontini, MA, Award winning author, spa consultant, and wellness speaker

Anyone who has experienced LOSS in life, be it a child, a spouse, anyone, or perhaps suffers from the dread of expectations unmet it wasn't supposed to be this way will benefit from reading this book. Written with compassion and empathy, perhaps you will finally find a writer who mirrors much of what you feel and validates all of it. Grief is not just tears after an event. It has a PURPOSE, and is integral in the healing process. Grief and loss is the other side of love and attachment, but they all are part of the same coin, the unified whole of who we are.

Grief doesn't have a time table and it certainly can't be defined by other's expectations of us. We grieve when we grieve and we mend when we mend--on our timetable and on our terms. Written from the heart of a mom who lost her beloved only son, she will guide those who are new to the journey AND the rest of us who sometimes struggle finding the words of what to say (or even what NOT to say) and will help or things to do that are actually meaningful for someone else going thru grief.

There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.--Leonard Cohen

THE LANDMARK BESTSELLER--NOW COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED

More than twenty-five years ago, Quantum Healing helped transform Deepak Chopra into a cultural phenomenon. Now Dr. Chopra, hailed by Time as the poet-prophet of alternative medicine, returns to this groundbreaking exploration of consciousness and the power of mindfulness, adding the latest scientific research as well as expanded thoughts on the connection between body and mind.

Inspired by the unexplained recovery of patients in his own practice who had been given just a few months to live, Dr. Chopra began his search for answers. After returning to his native India to explore humanity's most ancient healing tradition, Ayurveda, he combined those insights with Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics. What he discovered--a network of intelligence in the human body with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, even aging itself--forms the basis of Quantum Healing. In this new edition, Dr. Chopra once again offers a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.

Praise for Quantum Healing

Quantum Healing didn't set out to cure cancer or Alzheimer's or any other intractable disease. It set out to see the human body, and human existence in general, through wiser eyes. As a scientist I'm passionate about genes and the brain; as a person I'm totally fascinated by the origins of consciousness. Quantum Healing galvanized my intuition that these areas do not have to be separated.--Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from the new foreword

Deepak Chopra illuminates our true innate capacity for healing, growth, and evolution. With the wisdom of an experienced doctor, girded by science, he guides us to reclaim our natural power towards thriving. Chopra's work is paradigm-changing for medicine and helpful beyond measure for every human being seeking to evolve, flourish, and know our true nature.--Lisa Miller, Ph.D., author of The Spiritual Child and director of clinical psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University
