by Mónica KatzEn esta edición décimo aniversario, revisada y actualizada, Mónica Katz y Valeria Sol Groisman nos introducen en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación y descomponen en todas sus facetas el prisma de esa actividad humana. En esta edición aniversario, revisada y actualizada, Mónica Katz y Valeria Sol Groisman nos introducen en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación y describen todas las facetas de esta actividad humana. ¿Por qué nos gustan ciertas comidas y rechazamos otras? ¿Qué función cumplen los sentidos? ¿Cómo utiliza la industria esos conocimientos? ¿Qué responsabilidad tiene el Estado en el control y la producción de los alimentos? ¿Cuáles son beneficiosos para nuestro organismo, cuánto debemos consumir y cómo tenemos que hacerlo para lograr disfrutar de la comida, sin recurrir a ninguna dieta? ¿Alcanza la ley de etiquetado? Este libro es fundamental porque comer es imprescindible para vivir. Pero también porque lo hacemos para obtener placer, por aburrimiento, para calmarnos, para reunirnos con amigos y familia, para celebrar, para seducir. Y vivimos rodeados de estímulos que incitan a comer: programas de televisión, publicidades, restaurantes, bares, kioscos y comercios con góndolas rebosantes de alimentos y bebidas al alcance de nuestra mano. Como la industria ha logrado producir alimentos a gran escala, procesados y especialmente diseñados para el consumo, no siempre sabemos qué es lo que en verdad consumimos cada vez que comemos.

Son Rise: The Miracle Continues
by Barry Neil KaufmanIn 1979, the classic bestseller Son Rise was made into an award-winning NBC television special, which has been viewed by 300 million people worldwide. Now, Son Rise: The Miracle Continues presents not only the expanded and updated journal of Barry and Samahria Kaufman's successful effort to reach their "unreachable" child but goes beyond to include a sensitive portrayal of how that singular event has become a worldwide phenomenon. When their son Raun was a year old, he began to withdraw from human contact. Diagnosed as autistic, Raun tested with an I.Q. of under 30. Experts offered no hope and advised institutionalizing him. Barry and Samahria refused to accept this prognosis. For several years they worked with Raun in a program of their own design, based on unconditional love and acceptance. By age three and a half, Raun was functioning above his age level — a bright and curious little person. The story of the Kaufmans' experience to this point makes up Part I of Son Rise: The Miracle Continues. Part II continues Raun's story and describes the intervening years as the Kaufmans offered hope and healing to thousands of families with special-needs children. At age twenty, Raun attended a top university, and displayed a near-genius I.Q. Today, he shows no trace of his former condition. Part III of the book highlights the moving stories of five families who, guided by the Kaufmans and the Son-Rise Program, have created "rebirths" for their own special children.
Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues
by Barry Neil KaufmanThis is an expansion of the author's book Son-Rise, which appeared in the 1970s. The author recounts how he and his wife learned that their son Raun had autism, how they became disenchanted with the services of professionals, and how they ultimately developed a radical new method for working with their son at home. Rather than attempting to suppress Raun's autistic behaviors, they joined him in twirling objects, rocking, and hand-flapping as a way of relating to him. In this way they were able to build Raun's trust, with astounding results. Kaufman describes several other children who have benefited from this approach.

Song of the Dark Man: Father of Witches, Lord of the Crossroads
by Darragh Mason• Explains the Dark Man phenomenon through centuries-old folklore and mythology, testimony from British witch trials, and modern accounts• Challenges the simplistic concept of the Devil as &“evil,&” explaining how encounters with this entity can reveal one&’s life purpose and how the Dark Man can be an initiator into witchcraft• Presents interviews with those who have witnessed the Dark Man firsthand, offering insights into how he can serve as a guide to a more positive lifeFrom the fortean phantoms that terrorized Victorian England to the haunted crossroads of the Irish hinterlands, the Devil—also known as the Dark Man—has found countless novel ways to influence culture and bring us face to face with our fears. Tracing this enigmatic entity through the centuries via mythology, folklore, occult writings, and modern accounts, Darragh Mason shows how the Dark Man is more than just a myth: he is a real presence in our world.Drawing on Irish manuscripts dating back to the 12th century, testimony from 17th-century Scottish witches, his own experiences, and interviews with contemporary witches and mystics, Mason builds the case for the pattern of the Dark Man phenomenon, showing what his presence can mean, what it&’s like for those who experience him, and how his appearance serves as a calling to the path of witchcraft. In doing so, Mason challenges conventional understandings of the Dark Man as an evil presence, emphasizing his role in questioning authority and liberating individuals from the confines of strict social convention. He shows how the Dark Man&’s presence serves as a potent illustrator of the battles between light and dark.But, Mason emphasizes, these stories of the Dark Man are not necessarily just folktales. Sharing a series of interviews with contemporary figures, including Orion Foxwood and Peter Grey, who speak of the nature of this spirit and their experiences with him, the author illustrates how encounters with the Dark Man can challenge you to make changes—often painful ones—and how if you meet his challenges, you may be bestowed with mystical gifts and initiated into witchcraft. Ultimately, Mason shows how the Dark Man may be a liberating figure: if one faces him and moves beyond the fear, he can open the door to a richer, more fulfilling, and more magical life.

Sorcerers of Stone: Architects of the Three Ages
by Camille M. Sauvé• Explains the three distinct architectural styles found at the majority of sacred sites, representing three ancient world ages• Examines evidence of the two oldest architectural ages at sites in the Sacred Valley of Peru in depth, connecting them to other sites around the world• Explores the sophisticated science behind the construction of these stone sites, including modern research on acoustic levitation and ancient use of geopolymersAll around the world are mysterious ancient monoliths with strange features—perfectly carved terraces, massive steps, basins, and abstract forms with underground grottos and cave systems. Most archaeologists have a hard time explaining them and attribute their construction to the earliest known cultures in the area.Examining sacred sites in Peru and their counterparts around the world, researcher and journalist Camille M. Sauvé shows how these sites share specific architectural characteristics and reveal evidence of a very ancient culture that once existed worldwide. She examines the work of Peruvian researcher Alfredo Gamarra, who first described in detail the three distinct building styles and construction methods of these sites and how they represent three ancient world ages. She explains how Hanan Pacha ("heaven above") constructions, the oldest style, are universally revered as sacred by the civilizations that came after them. Weaving together a tapestry of what early humanity looked like, Sauvé examines the writings of famous clairvoyants like Rudolf Steiner, Madame Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce who recorded the works of early man through the Akashic records.Besides the more esoteric questions about who could have built these wonders, Sauvé also examines the unique properties of the monoliths themselves and the sophisticated science behind the construction of these stone sites. She shows how they seem to be placed on earth power spots and how most of the rocks have significant piezoelectric properties from high quartz and silica content. Revealing that many sacred sites are much older than previously thought, Camille Sauvé shows that Peru may hold the secret to remembering our forgotten prehistory.

Soul Breathing
by Carrie L'EsperanceAn exploration of the multidimensional interplay between body, mind, and spirit• Identifies the frequencies that support life and the dissonant frequencies incompatible with life, such as the imbalances of EMFs• Explains how to cultivate higher consciousness by building a strong light body• Includes techniques and exercises for psychic cleansing, physical and emotional detox, chakra and aura strengthening, and oracular dreamingCivilization has reached a critical threshold in time unlike any other. Whether life continues to evolve or devolve depends upon our ability to reach higher states of consciousness en masse. This requires calling upon the transformative power of the soul--a power not handed to us, but earned. We are living proof that the physical and spiritual realms of existence work together in unity. Yet for many of us our natural soul light and inner spiritual intuition are suppressed due to the distractions of day-to-day living and the electromagnetic pollution of our screen-filled technological world.In this exploration of the multidimensional interplay between the body, mind, and spirit, Carrie L’Esperance reveals how we can restore the flow of spiritual light in everyday living through the art of self-mastery. She explains how technology has severely reduced humanity’s natural abilities and spiritual power. She shows how EMFs and wi-fi toast our energetic bodily systems and suppress our immune systems, blocking the ethereal frequencies of light and suppressing our creative intuition and higher powers. Detailing the spiritual bio-geometry of light and the holographic principle, she explores how the cells of our bodies receive light’s deeper vibratory frequencies to support conscious evolution and soul development as well as explaining near-death and out-of-body experiences. She identifies the dissonant energies that endanger mind/body health and reveals new advances in brain science that allow us to transcend the malign influences that hamper human evolution. She provides exercises and techniques for spiritual alignment and receptivity, including psychic cleansing, physical and emotional detox, chakra and aura strengthening, and oracular dreaming.Preparing us for the new cosmology and the greater community of worlds that is being revealed, L’Esperance shows that when we are properly connected with our soul’s intelligence and cultivate the reception of higher frequencies of consciousness, then we are able to soul breathe, to absorb more pranic energy, the electromagnetic force and cosmic radiation that is the sustaining element of all life and consciousness.
