Healing Quest: The Sacred Space of the Medicine Wheel
by Marie HerbertWhen her youngest daughter, Pascale, was preparing to leave for boarding school, Marie Herbert wanted to mark the end of the child-rearing phase of her life by a rite of passage. Wishing to find a new life-path for herself, she planned to go on a vision quest-a journey of personal transformation-under the guidance of Native American healers. Pascale's sudden, tragic death made-Herbert's odyssey far more poignant and urgent than she could have imagined. Healing Quest is the extraordinary description of Marie Herbert's inner and outer journey toward a renewed wholeness. She traveled through the southwestern United States, meeting with different Native American shamans, master storytellers, and medicine people. These healers kept suggesting that she shouldn't go through with her preconceived notion of the vision quest, and that she should, instead, listen to what her spirit needed. During her journey, she met Jamie Sams, creator of The Sacred Path and Medicine Cards, who convinced her that the fasting required in a vision quest was not "the feminine way." With Sams' help, Herbert realized that her spirit yearned for the feminine energy of a healing quest. Herbert offers a fascinating account of the Native American ceremonies and rituals in which she participated before the climax of her transformation-four days and nights alone and apart, seeking wholeness within the sacred space of the medicine wheel.

Toning: The Creative Power of the Voice
by Laurel Elizabeth KeyesToning is an ancient method of healing, which I hope will be recognized and used with new understanding now that we have more scientific explanations for it. It does not depend upon faith, nor belief in the method, any more than these are necessary to our use of electricity to provide light and energy in our daily living. There appear to be certain natural flows of energy in our bodies and if we recognize them and cooperate with them, they benefit us. Toning is not limited to one's religion, or lack of it. It does not require one's belief. Apparently it is not a "gift" but something available to anyone who goes through the mechanics of letting the voice express itself in a natural way. Anyone who can groan can Tone and experience its benefits. There is no mystery about Toning. It can be understood through material science, physiology and psychology as well as the most ancient concepts of man's relationship to his God. Please try it.

Selected Tips from Heloise
by HeloiseThis book contains many useful hints for making our lives easier. I can vouch for the effectiveness of this one: To get rid of ants, wipe down counters and other surfaces with vinegar. It will take four or five days to discourage the ants. Broken glass? "To sweep up broken glass, place a damp paper towel over the debris first. The tiny shattered pieces will cling to the paper and all can be easily swept up. Works with pet hair, too." Do you have "big terry cloth oven mitts? Great for wiping splatters off kitchen walls, the terry cloth loops scrub right into the depressions in textured paint. They also scrub vinyl floors in a flash --a huge area wipes clean in one swipe. In addition, the mitts slurp up spills, do dusting, and, if slightly dampened, pick up pet hairs from upholstery." Some items keep better in the refrigerator if turned upsidedown--jelly, relish, pickles. Be sure lids are tight. When finished, throw the mitts into the washer-- they come out clean and ready for
