Developed by the authors in a dynamic partnership of 18 years, Unwinding the Belly integrates their experience in massage therapy, shiatsu, yoga, qigong, and the Eastern healing practice of chi nei tsang ("internal organ energy transformation").
This book is subtitled healing with 'Gentle Touch. Unwinding uses gentle touch, breath and awareness to release internal patterns of tension. Co-author Allison Post first developed this work to address her won chronic health concerns. "I developed Unwinding the Belly because I found that everything I needed to heal was there, within my belly, my center," writes Post. "I only had to unwind the tissue and release the stress to find that the pattern of health, the blueprint, had always been there, waiting to reveal itself to me."
Unwinding the Belly presents a simple and clear way of contacting the intuitive and emotional center that lies in the belly, using breathing practices and gentle abdominal massage techniques to release tension. The authors maintain that unwinding can help ease physical and emotional stress, aid a wide range of digestive ailments, tone the internal organs, support optimal functioning of the immune system, and promote renewed energy and peace. Post and co-author Stephen Cavaliere present five phases of unwinding, beginning with belly breathing and massaging the surface of the belly, then progressing to such stages as lateral breathing to release the abdomen, as well as the torso and back. They provide inspirational client accounts, and pose and answer pertinent questions.

In this provocative book, Osho develops a contemporary vision of love without the bondage of morality / moral codes. Freedom and love are inseparable in Osho's vision. But aloneness is also part of it. For Osho, aloneness is not contrary to being loved, but it is rather complementary. Love, Freedom, Aloneness - this is the trinity for individual fulfillment in a modern society.
We are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Aloneness is our very nature, but we are not aware of it. Because we are not aware of it, we remain strangers to ourselves, and instead of seeing our aloneness as a tremendous beauty and bliss, silence and peace, at-easeness with existence, we misunderstand it as loneliness.
Loneliness is a misunderstood aloneness. Once you misunderstand your aloneness as loneliness, the whole context changes. Aloneness has a beauty and grandeur, a positivity; loneliness is poor, negative, dark, dismal.

In 1997, Dr. Richard Bartlett experienced an event that would redirect the entire course of his life.
He suddenly discovered that by lightly touching his clients while at the same time applying focused intent, he could restore them to a physically, mentally, and spiritually balanced state, instantly shifting misalignments that had plagued them for years. Most astonishing of all, he could teach anyone how to do this. Now, for millions of people looking for empowerment in an age of declining and impersonal healthcare, Dr. Bartlett shares this phenomenon in a book full of explosive potential.
In Matrix Energetics, Dr. Bartlett builds upon his popular seminars to teach us how to access the discovery he has made -- a process that merges the science of subtle energy with our innate imaginations to produce measurable results. By applying forces known to modern physics, each of us can tap into states of healthy awareness from different moments -- in essence, travel in time -- and bring them into the present for immediate, profound results. As Dr. Bartlett clearly shows, this practice requires no special training, produces transformation in the blink of an eye, and is available to everyone who has a willingness to learn.
Matrix Energetics, The Science and Art of Transformation, provides an easily-reproducible, results-oriented process of change that draws on the fundamental principles embraced by the field of quantum physics. This paradigm-busting book can teach anyone how to access their creative power to heal and transform their lives. Dr. Richard Bartlett discovered that what he once thought about the human body was just the tip of the iceberg -- after seeing change beneath his hands, and hearing about the invisible transformations that were often revealed later -- he knew that he had to pass along what he had discovered.

It includes several class transcriptions and covers the many applications of this versatile technique which has been used for deep relaxation, for educational purposes and to harmonise the deeper unconscious.
"In my early childhood I was guided through Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and it is only now that I am becoming aware of the depth of the instructions and training I received."

This bo
ok is dedicated to those honest and relentless yoga practitioners who are searching for the master-key to unlock the door to the abode of maha kundalini.

The text focuses on the theory and practice of bandha. The physical, pranic and psychotherapeutic effects are explored, including the relationship between moola bandha and acupuncture.

The Author realizing the limitations of drugs and traditional psychotherapy to cure the psychiatric and psychologically disturbed patients pursued his search for a more practical and effective method to reintegrate the mind and the body, moving through the normal healing techniques of acupunctrue, naturotherapy, massage and herbalism and culminating in the discovery of yoga. Under the guidance of Swami Satyanananda Saraswati, he gained profound insight into the mechanics of the mind, depression and neurosis as well as the yogic technique to alleviate much of the suffering.
Moola bandha emerged as one of the main componenets of Swamiji's teachings, prompting Swami Buddhananda Saraswati to an intensive theoretical and practical study. The outcome of this search and it's implications for modern man are to be found in this book.

Rock Your World with the Divine Mother: Bringing the Sacred Power of the Divine Mother into Our Lives by Sondra Ray.By Teresa 'Chrissy' Conner Having spent the last three decades learning from the masters of India, Sondra Ray is a well-respected teacher of the femininity of divinity. Being her eighteenth book, Rock Your World with the Divine Mother is not a how-to manual, but rather the author shows us how to open up to the Divine Mother through her re-telling of various pilgrimages to Peru, Yugoslavia, India and more in her personal search of the Divine Mother. Sondra shows that no matter the religion or race, the Holy Mother's presence is alive and living within us all and can be found in Quan Yin, Kali-Ma, Amma (the Hugging Saint), Pele, the Virgin Mary, even in Babaji and in nearly every positive, living spiritual path.The chapter (1, Creating Miracles) featuring her empowering and humbling story of her visit to the Virgin at Medjugorie, Yugoslavia was exceptionally moving to myself. I could literally feel the spirit of the Divine Mother leaking off the pages and filling the room with its ambience, and I was brought to tears.Rock Your World with the Divine Mother is broken in three parts; the first focusing on Sondra's journeys and experiences, the second speaks of the ceremonies andfestivals (mainly in India) that celebrate the Divine Feminine, and the final part shows us how we can serve the Divine Mother through our work in serving humanity and through meditation and prayer. The intuitive appendices discuss the relation between our surrendering and womanly"afflictions" like breast cancer and menopause that haunt so many of today's women. Through them, the author shows how to reclaim your power. The final chapter is Sondra's very own personal prayer that sheinvites the reader to pray along with her. A moving finale to a fantastic tome.I read this book in one sitting, something I rarely ever do. This insightful manuscript will make anyone, man orwoman, want to surrender to the loving energy of the Divine Feminine.Highly recommended!Theory--Yoga and Women
