Absolute Beauty: Radiant Skin and Inner Harmony Through the Ancient Secrets of Ayurveda
by Pratima Raichur Marian CohnAyurveda, popularized by Deepak Chopra in his bestselling books, is an ancient wholistic approach that originated in India. Both natural skin care and the ancient discipline of Ayurveda are tremendously popular concepts right now, and this is the first time the two have come together in a comprehensive book. The founder of her own skin care clinic in Manhattan, author Pratima Raichur is a leading expert on Ayruveda who uses classic Ayurvedic principles to develop her own completely original skin care regimen that can be tailored to all skin types.

Part I outlines the principles of Ayurvedic skin care and shows how the skin, our largest organ, can reveal important information about our stress levels and overall health-if we know what to look for-and offers readers a self-test to determine their skin type from three categories. Part 2 describes each skin type's regimen, and shows the individual reader how they can achieve balance in their particular problem areas through proper nutrition, cleansing, and moisturizing. It also offers a consumers' guide to -natural' products currently available, as well as remedies for the 12 most common complaints, and natural makeup tips. Part 3 focuses even further on nutritional information such as how much is enough water, what your skin can tell you about your digestion, and how to detoxify your body for beautiful skin and hair. Part 4 discusses the spiritual aspects of Ayurveda which can aid in achieving inner peace and the outer glow that stems from it. Also included throughout the book are line drawings to illustrate Raichur's skin care techniques and exercises.aCombining the best of modern science and the age old wisdom of Ayurveda, Absolute Beauty is a complete skin care guide that not only offers the key to more beautiful skin, shinier hair, and thicker eyelashes, but to better overall health, vitality, and abody that feels as good as it looks.
Absolute Tao
by Osho Osho International FoundationMoving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text -- that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future -- Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight.His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal clear light as Lao Tzu.

Abuela Ayahuasca: Medicina vegetal y el cerebro psicodélico
by Christian Funder• Examina cómo la ayahuasca afecta el cerebro desde una perspectiva neurocientífica y la manera en que sus efectos sobre la conciencia se relacionan con antiguos textos esotéricos• Comparte entrevistas con personas que han experimentado los poderosos efectos de la ayahuasca como &“médico espiritual&”, y su propio viaje desde la depresión suicida hasta la paz del alma• Investiga cómo se entrelazan la ayahuasca y las antiguas prácticas del chamanismo del AmazonasElaborada a partir de una combinación de dos plantas (las hojas de Psychotria viridis y la liana Banisteriopsis caapi), la ayahuasca ha sido utilizada durante milenios por tribus indígenas del Alto Amazonas para la sanación y la exploración espiritual. Los chamanes de la Amazonia peruana llaman al espíritu vegetal que habita esta liana "Abuela Ayahuasca".Al explorar la historia, tradición, uso chamánico, efectos psicoactivos y estudios científicos actuales, Christian Funder demuestra que la Abuela Ayahuasca es una sanadora profunda, una maestra sabia y una guía transformadora. Desde una perspectiva neurocientífica, el autor presenta investigaciones recientes de los efectos del DMT—uno de los componentes psicoactivos de la ayahuasca— así como estudios de resonancia magnética funcional de la actividad cerebral durante estados alterados. Funder explora estos hallazgos en relación con las enseñanzas sobre los estados unificados de conciencia en antiguos textos esotéricos y con la teoría de Aldous Huxley sobre los psicodélicos que inhiben el mecanismo de la "válvula reguladora" del cerebro.Funder comparte entrevistas con personas que han experimentado los poderosos efectos de la ayahuasca como "médico espiritual" y narra su propio viaje de sanación desde la depresión suicida hasta la paz interna. También explora la relación de la ayahuasca con el chamanismo indígena amazónico, incluyendo una mirada al interior de la tribu shipibo y los cantos curativos conocidos como ícaros.Al ofrecer una imagen holística de la ayahuasca, desde la ciencia hasta el espíritu, el autor muestra que esta venerada infusión alucinógena tiene un inmenso potencial terapéutico y podría ser la conexión chamánica perdida hace mucho tiempo con la mente sagrada de Gaia.
Abundance: The Inner Path to Wealth
by Deepak ChopraAn enlightening guide to success, fulfillment, wholeness, and plenty, offering practical advice on how to cultivate a sense of abundance in times of fear and insecurity, from New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra&“To attain wealth of the lasting kind, the kind that gives your life meaning, value, and sustenance, base your daily existence on the generosity of spirit.&”—Deepak ChopraMany of us live and operate from a mind-set of lack, scarcity, and limitation. We focus on what we don&’t have—financial security, confidence, an intimate relationship—which keeps us feeling insecure and inadequate. We think &“if only I could have those things, I could be happy.&” But measuring wealth by money or material possessions leaves us feeling drained and spiritually empty. Constantly striving for more often means our ego is driving our thoughts, actions, and reactions, which prevents us from reaching something greater: a true sense of inner peace, acceptance, and fulfillment. Yet, there is an inner path to prosperity and wealth that, once charted and explored, provides access to the great riches of the universe and life&’s unbounded possibilities.In Abundance, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra illuminates this road to success and wholeness, helping readers tap into a deeper sense of awareness to become agents of change in their own lives. Mixing ancient teachings and spiritual practices with the wisdom he&’s garnered over four decades as the leading figure in mind-body medicine, Deepak demonstrates how to transcend self-generated feelings of limitation and fear in order to experience true abundance in all aspects of life. To do so, he offers a seven-step plan along with meditations and mindfulness techniques to help you focus and direct your attention, energy, and intuition so you can experience stability, affluence, insight, creativity, love, and true power.

Abundância: O caminho interior para a riqueza
by Deepak ChopraDescubra as chaves para uma vida de sucesso, realização, plenitude e abundância. «Para alcançar uma riqueza duradoura, aquela que confere sentido, valor e sustento à vida, a sua existência diária deverá assentar na generosidade do espírito. Tudo o que desejar para além disso surgirá de forma natural.» DEEPAK CHOPRA Muitos de nós vivem e agem a partir de uma mentalidade de carência, escassez e limitação. Concentramo-nos no que não temos - segurança financeira, confiança, um relacionamento íntimo -, o que faz com que nos sintamos inseguros e desajustados. Pensamos: «Se conseguisse ter essas coisas, poderia ser feliz.» Mas medir a riqueza em dinheiro ou bens materiais deixa-nos esgotados e espiritualmente vazios. Insistir em lutar por mais, significa, muitas vezes, que o nosso ego controla os nossos pensamentos, ações e reações, o que nos impede de alcançar algo maior: uma verdadeira sensação de paz interior, aceitação e realização. No entanto, existe um caminho interior para a prosperidade e a abundância, que, uma vez traçado e explorado, oferece acesso às grandes riquezas do Universo e às possibilidades ilimitadas da vida. Em Abundância, o autor bestseller internacional Deepak Chopra ilumina esse caminho para o sucesso e a plenitude, ajudando-nos a explorar um sentido mais profundo de consciência, de modo que nos tornemos agentes de mudança nas nossas próprias vidas. Misturando ensinamentos antigos e práticas espirituais com a sabedoria que acumulou ao longo de quatro décadas como a principal figura da medicina mente-corpo, Chopra demonstra como transcender sentimentos autogerados de limitação e medo, para experimentar a verdadeira abundância em todos os aspetos da vida. Oferece um plano de sete etapas, juntamente com meditações e técnicas de atenção plena, o que nos ajuda a focar e dirigir a nossa atenção, energia e intuição, para podermos experimentar estabilidade, riqueza, conhecimento, criatividade, amor e verdadeiro poder. «Um guia envolvente destinado a "transformar consciência em riqueza" por meio do ioga e da meditação.»Publishers Weekly
Abusing Over the Counter Drugs: Illicit Uses for Everyday Drugs (Illicit and Misused Drugs)
by Kim EtingoffThe government has approved them. You don't need a prescription. You can get them at practically any supermarket. So obviously over-the-counter medications can't be dangerous, right?

Abusing Over-the-Counter Drugs: Illicit Uses for Everyday Drugs presents the facts about this alarming trend. You'll learn what drugs are most misused, the effects of misused over-the-counter medications, and what the government is doing to stem the problem.

Abuso e espancamento: de vítima a vitoriosa
by Crystal Mary Lindsey Bianca Ferreira de OliveiraComo ela poderia viver? O medo constantemente a tomava! E ainda sim, como ela continuaria? Se sentia presa! Vivia em constante medo de fazer com que seu esposo ficasse com raiva. Uma garota inocente carente por atenção encontra um belo homem. Desejando que ele preenchesse o vazio de sua vida, ela está disposta a fazer de tudo por ele. Em sua inocência ela acredita que isso o fará ama-la. Seus sentimentos por ela são PODER e DESEJO, não AMOR! Este homem era um narcisista e para permanecer fiel a ele, ela constantemente sofre – traição completa – sendo usada e abusada. Um aborto aos dezesseis anos Um casamento com um homem que só se importa com ele Divergências culturais – medo e vergonha são usados para controla-la. Violência física: batidas, e espancamento nos primeiros sete anos. Controle mental: ele somente a olhava de certo modo e ela congelava. Confiança em si mesma e seu valor sumiram dando lugar a ansiedade e medo. Abuso espiritual: Nenhuma liberdade espiritual. Ela era perseguida e ridicularizada por sua crença em Deus. Ela testemunhou o abuso de seus filhos e quando tentava pará-lo, ele se virava a ela. Ela estava ciente da descrença de seu marido. Nesta história você ouvirá como uma garota solitária cai em uma rede onde parece não haver escape. Este era um tempo no qual problemas em casa não eram falados então ela não fazia ideia para onde correr. Ela também temia contar as autoridades por medo de punição. A sabedoria de Deus diz: “Não vos prendais a um jugo desigual com os infiéis; porque, que sociedade tem a justiça com a injustiça? E que comunhão tem a luz com as trevas?” (2 Coríntios 6:14). Passando por machucados e vergonha, a autora espera que escrevendo a sua história ajude a evitar que outros venham cair em situações semelhantes. Embora, hoje seja uma época diferente com mais educação e discussão, abusos ainda acontecem e as mulheres permanecem

Mais de um terço da população sofre de problemas de peso. Alguns sofrem de doenças por conta disso. Eu estava bem encaminhado para uma consulta com a morte. Eu não sabia que meu fígado estava cagado, minha pressão sanguínea estava tão alta que eu perdi minha assinatura da academia, meus níveis de insulina estavam sempre altos, e meu coração estava em ritmo dobrado apenas para me manter respirando.

Acabe com a fadiga crônica: obtenha de volta sua vida
by Lisa Gibson Rosana Vargas TradutoraReceber o diagnóstico de SFC pode ser devastador, isso porque há mais perguntas do que respostas sobre essa síndrome. Ela ainda é um mistério para a comunidade médica e por isso é chamada de síndrome. Por isso o diagnóstico é feito normalmente por processo de eliminação e pode até mesmo se tornar um termo geral para sua condição quando os profissionais da saúde não descobrem o que mais pode estar errado. Deste modo, infelizmente muitos podem passar anos ou a vida com esse diagnóstico misterioso enquanto os médicos não esgotarem todas as demais possibilidades. SFC é ainda um enigma para a comunidade da saúde e as pessoas que sofrem por essa condição podem ser percebidas pelos outros como preguiçosas, fracas ou hipocondríacas Quero parabenizá-lo por dar o primeiro passo para melhorar sua vida e realmente descobrir como lidar melhor com os sintomas da fadiga crônica. Entender a doença ou a enfermidade pode trazer novas esperanças e abordagens. Em desespero, gastei rios de dinheiro fora do meu orçamento tentando navegar em um oceano de tratamento de saúde e buscando desvendar as respostas. Isso pode ser muito caro e desgastante. Não desejo que passe por isso.

Academia and the World Beyond: Navigating Life after a PhD
by Christopher R. MadanA common question posed to PhD students from friends and family is, “What will you do after?” But many students are too focused on the PhD itself and have not yet had a chance to sufficiently think about post-PhD life. This book is a collection of 22 interviews with those have completed a PhD and then are now in an academic position or another career path. In either case, they have all been successful and have a multitude of insights to share with those who are interested in considering a variety of careers. Academic careers share many commonalities with many non-academic careers, with skills learned within academia being valuable in other career paths as well. Nearly all the individuals interviewed here have been on the job market recently and understand today's job climate. No other book on the market includes the diversity of perspectives presented here. In particular, the focus on psychology and neuroscience draws from a variety of individuals that have similar training but have nonetheless taken divergent paths.
Academic Ableism: Disability and Higher Education (Corporealities: Discourses Of Disability)
by Jay T Dolmage<P>Academic Ableism brings together disability studies and institutional critique to recognize the ways that disability is composed in and by higher education, and rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and center. <P>For too long, argues Jay Timothy Dolmage, disability has been constructed as the antithesis of higher education, often positioned as a distraction, a drain, a problem to be solved. The ethic of higher education encourages students and teachers alike to accentuate ability, valorize perfection, and stigmatize anything that hints at intellectual, mental, or physical weakness, even as we gesture toward the value of diversity and innovation. <P> Examining everything from campus accommodation processes, to architecture, to popular films about college life, Dolmage argues that disability is central to higher education, and that building more inclusive schools allows better education for all.
Academic Health Centers: Leading Change in the 21st Century
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesAcademic health centers are currently facing enormous changes that will impact their roles in education, research, and patient care. The aging and diversity of the population will create new health care needs and demands, while rapid advances in technology will fundamentally alter the health care systems' capabilities. Pressures on health care costs, growth of the uninsured, and evidence of quality problems in health care will create a challenging environment that demands change. "Academic Health Centers explores how AHCs will need to redirect each of their roles so they are able to meet the burgeoning challenges of health care and to improve the health of the people they serve. The methods and approaches used in preparing health professionals, the relationship among the variety of their research programs, and the design of clinical care will all need examination if they are to meet the changing demands of the coming decades. Policymakers and payers will need to create incentives to support innovation and change in AHCs. In response, AHCs will need to increase the level of coordination and integration across their roles and the individual organizations that comprise the AHC if they are to successfully undertake the types of changes needed. Academic Health Centers lays out a strategy to start a continuing and long-term process of change.

Accelerating the Education Sector Response to HIV
by Donald Bundy Anthi Patrikios Lesley Drake Changu Mannathoko Stella Manda Bachir Sarr Andy TembonThe education sector plays a key "external" role in preventing and reducing the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. It also plays an important "internal" role in providing access to care, treatment, and support for teachers and education staff, a group that in many countries represents more than 60 percent of the public sector workforce. The education sector can also have a critically important positive effect on the future: Even in the worst-affected countries, most schoolchildren are not infected. For these children, there is a chance to live lives free from AIDS if they can be educated on the knowledge and values that can protect them as they grow up. The authors of 'Accelerating the Education Sector Response to HIV' explore the experiences of education sectors across Sub-Saharan Africa as they scale up their responses to HIV/AIDS within the Accelerate Initiative Working Group, established in 2002 by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Inter-Agency Task Team on Education. This book demonstrates that leadership by the ministries of education and commitment from key development partners are crucial for mobilizing activities and that full participation of all stakeholders is required for effective implementation. This book summarizes the experiences of technical Focal Points from the 37 ministries of education in Sub-Saharan Africa, which are represented on the sub-regional networks for HIV and Education. These experiences prove that the education sector response can play a crucially important role in the multisectoral national responses to this epidemic.

Acceptance: Create Change and Move Forward
by Padraig O'MorainAcceptance is about accepting the truth of a negative moment, without resistance. It is a foundation for transformation and a path to freedom.Anxiety, pain and illness, unpleasant encounters with people, low self-esteem, conditions such as long Covid-19 - these are issues that can become part of our lives without consuming our whole lives. Unhappiness and resentment can eat away at us when we ruminate and overthink a moment however big or small, but acceptance can give us our lives back even if it cannot give back something we have lost. This isn't an audiobook about dropping all negativity - it's about experiencing feelings such as anxiety, regret and anger and relating to them in a way that doesn't allow them to take over our lives. We can each go through a process where we no longer fight against the burdening knowledge that something has happened.As a psychotherapist, trained counsellor and mindfulness teacher with over 25 years' experience, Padraig O'Morain has created an 'acceptance toolbox' in his new book. Acceptance includes mindfulness practices, thoughts from practitioners of acceptance, ideas from CBT and more.(P) 2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
