Winning the War on Cancer: The Epic Journey Towards a Natural Cure
by Sylvie Beljanski&“A fascinating combination of personal story and details on the suppression of holistic cancer(and other disease) therapies&” (Ann E. Fonfa, president, The Annie Appleseed Project). President Nixon signed the National Cancer Act in 1971, declaring a war on the disease. Nearly fifty years and several billion dollars later, it looks like we have lost the battle. Or have we? What if a natural solution had been there all along, just overlooked by the pharmaceutical industry? When a new, natural, and non-toxic way to address cancer is being discovered, it is a game changer that does not go unnoticed in the scientific community. But instead of being hailed and embraced, it is fiercely opposed by prominent scientists with strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry, and the might of the government is called to the rescue. As a result, we are losing the war on cancer. Mirko Beljanski, PhD, one of the first green molecular biologists, was called upon by former French president François Mitterrand to treat his prostate cancer, allowing him to reach his second term in office, but upon his death, Beljanski became the subject of relentless persecution aimed at wiping out this information. In Winning the War on Cancer, his daughter Sylvie Beljanski outlines her journey of learning about her father&’s discoveries, and ensuring his legacy is available to all those struggling with the disease today. &“Whether a current patient or caregiver, a survivor, a researcher, an author/speaker, or a physician, the information in this book is groundbreaking, exciting, and essential to know . . . Sincere, captivating, poignant, and educational.&” —Annie Brandt, founder and president of Emerita, Best Answer for Cancer Foundation

Wisdom Chi Kung: Practices for Enlivening the Brain with Chi Energy
by Mantak ChiaTaoist meditation practices for increasing and maintaining mental awareness, memory, and clarity • Details techniques to increase the level of chi energy in the brain • Explains how to synchronize the left and right brain by activating the body’s energetic potentials • Shows that by emptying the mind there is more energy to heal the body Wisdom Chi Kung teaches practitioners how to revitalize the brain: to repair function, increase memory, and expand capacity. Every day we use up so much of our brain’s capacity to function that we have very little left at the end of the day. By thinking or worrying too much, the brain can use up to 80 percent of the body’s entire energy reserve. Learning to stop the brain, to empty the mind from the ceaseless chatter of the “monkey mind,” and then recharge it with chi energy can increase our mental capacity, focus, and clarity. Using the Inner Smile meditation technique, practitioners learn how to recharge chi energy for the brain in a form that is most useful. Practitioners smile and empty the mind into the lower tan tien and the organs. The organs then transform this chi energy. When the mind is empty, the energy transformed by the organs is sent back to the brain to revitalize it. This process synchronizes the left and right brain by activating and tapping in to the body’s energetic potentials. As the mind continues to empty, receive, and also enhance the transformed chi energy, it is able to open itself to connect with universal chi energies and fill the body with enhanced life force.
The Wisdom Codes: Ancient Words to Rewire Our Brains and Heal Our Hearts
by Gregg BradenThe cutting edge of neurolinguistics meets the spiritual wisdom of the ages in a handbook of key words that literally rewire our brains.New discoveries in biology and the neurosciences are revealing how the structure of language-the words we think and speak-can actually change the way the neurons in our brains and hearts connect. But our ancestors understood this connection intuitively, thousands of years ago. They created specific word-patterns to provide comfort, healing, strength, and inner power in difficult times, and they encoded these powerful words in prayers, chants, mantras, hymns, and sacred writings to preserve them for future generations. Now beloved teacher and thought leader Gregg Braden cracks the code and puts these powerful words in your hands.Perfect as a pocket guide, a reference for spiritual study, or a gift to someone you love, this elegant, compact book contains Wisdom Codes that cut to the core of life's greatest tests, most challenging demands, and hardest lessons. You'll find chapters devoted to healing from loss and grief, facing your unspoken fears, finding certainty in the face of uncertain choices, and finding forgiveness, as well as ancient parables that offer a "fast track" to unraveling life's deepest mysteries. Each Wisdom Code-distilled from a quote, a scripture passage, or a parable-is accompanied by a brief discussion of what the code means, why it's important, and how to apply it in your life.
Wisdom in the Body
by Franklyn Sills Michael KernAccumulations of life stresses--physical injuries, emotional and psychological stresses, birth traumas, and toxicity--can become imprinted in the tissues, acting like a videotape that is replayed whenever stimulated. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy aims to resolve the trapped forces that underlie and drive these trauma-based patterns of disease and suffering in body and mind. Wisdom in the Body teaches practitioners to develop the finely tuned skills of hands-on palpation and perception to sense the body's subtle rhythms and patterns of inertia or congestion, with the goal of ending trauma and facilitating the expression of the breath of life. A comprehensive introduction to this practice, the book draws on the insights of pioneers like Drs. W. G. Sutherland and Franklyn Sills to explain the key principles about the body's natural intention to heal and how this capability can be encouraged. A valuable resource for students, practitioners, and the lay reader, the book also includes a foreword by Dr. Franklyn Sills.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Wisdom of a Broken Heart
by Lars MuhlIn this gift book from renowned spiritual teacher Lars Muhl we learn that the vast majority of us will experience emotional pain in our lives but that it's possible to use that pain as a unique opportunity for spiritual growth. The perfect book for improving your self-care or as a gift for someone you love.The Wisdom of a Broken Heart is a beautifully designed hardback gift book with profound content that draws on Lars Muhl's many years of spiritual studies and experiences. In a time when we as humans are being challenged in many ways, Lars stresses that it is through the pain suffered by so many of us, and by understanding the deeper meaning of that pain, that we are given a unique opportunity for a breakthrough at the spiritual plane. Arranged in verse form, the book contains the essence of the secret teachings taught by Yeshua (Jesus) the Nazarene and Mariam (Mary) Magdalene 2,000 years ago. Over the years, the teachings have been revealed in fragments and scattered glimpses; this book now creates a synthesis of the beautiful wisdom of the complete human being. Topics range from the profound energetic exchange that occurs between two lovers (with visualizations to meet Yeshua if you identify as a woman or Mariam if you identify as a man), to using mantras, song and dance in order to reach divine awareness, to numerology and other symbolism. Ultimately, this is a complete guide to living the Law of Light for the benefit of yourself and the wider world. As Lars says: "We are all potential healers, and if there is anything the world needs right now, it is exactly healers."
The Wisdom of Anxiety: How worry and intrusive thoughts are gifts to help you heal
by Sheryl Paul'We have to shift from a mindset of shame, which sees anxiety as evidence of brokenness, to a mindset of curiosity, which recognizes that anxiety is evidence of our sensitive heart, our imaginative mind and our soul's desire to grow towards wholeness.'

For anyone troubled by obsessive thoughts, insomnia and other manifestations of anxiety, counsellor Sheryl Paul offers shelter in the storm. In The Wisdom of Anxiety, Paul reveals that anxiety, like any emotion, is a signal - a clear bodily invitation to heal and renew your trust in your choices, self-image and core values. Weaving together practical exercises with personal stories, Paul offers medication-free approaches for accessing the gifts in different kinds of anxiety, and especially the anxiety summoned by life's transitions, for example a career change, becoming parents or becoming carers for loved ones. Chapters include recognising the symptoms of anxiety, its origins, the myth of 'normal', the expectation of happiness and a timeline of healing that includes exercises for the body and mind. There are also chapters on parenting in an age of anxiety and the vulnerability of connection and relationships.
