All Is Well: Heal Your Body with Medicine, Affirmations and Intuition
By Louise Hay and Mona Lisa Schulz
In this healing tour de force,
these best-selling authors
have teamed up for an
exciting reexamination of the
quintessential teachings from
Heal Your Body. All is Well brings together Louise’s proven
affirmation system with Mona
Lisa’s knowledge of both
medical science and the body’s
intuition to create an easy-to follow
guide for health and
well-being. And, for the
first time ever, they present
scientific evidence showing the undeniable link between
the mind and body that makes these healing methods
work.
Bringing focus and clarity to the effects of emotions
on the body, this book separates the body into seven
distinct groups of organs — or emotional centers — that
are connected by their relationship to certain emotions.
Structured around these emotional centers, the authors
outline common imbalances and probable mental causes
for physical illness. They also include case studies that
show a complete program for healing that draws from
all disciplines, including both traditional and alternative
medicine, affirmations, nutritional changes, and so
much more. Using the self-assessment quiz, the holistic
health advice, and an expanded version of Louise’s
original affirmation chart, you can learn how to heal
your mind and body with affirmations and intuition and
live a balanced, healthy life. ($24.95)
Archetypes: Who Are You?
By Caroline Myss
Have you ever wondered
why you are drawn to
certain people, ideas or
products and turned off by
others? Are you constantly
searching for something you
can’t put your finger on, or
wondering whether you are
living a life that truly fits?
In Archetypes: Who Are
You?, best-selling author
Caroline Myss delves into the
world of archetypes, which have
been the subject of her work for
more than 25 years. Archetypes are universal patterns
of behavior that, once discovered, help you better
understand yourself and your place in the world.
In short, knowing your archetypes can transform your
life. Within the pages of this book, Myss writes about 10
primary archetypes that have emerged in today’s society:
The Caregiver, the Artist/Creative, the Fashionista, the
Intellectual, the Rebel, the Queen/Executive, the
Advocate, the Visionary, the Athlete and the Spiritual
Seeker. In each chapter, she explains one individual
archetype, showing how it has evolved and then, in
fascinating detail, lays out the unique characteristics,
the defining graces, the life challenges and other information
to help you understand if you are part of this
archetype family and, if so, how you can fully tap into its
power. She also offers tips and practical advice on how
to fully engage with your archetypes.
Learning what archetypes best describe you is just the
beginning. You can then use this knowledge to make
more conscious decisions about everything from
careers to relationships, avoiding common pitfalls of
your personality type while playing up your strengths.
The result is a happier, more authentic you. It’s never too
late to change your life by embracing your archetypes to
the fullest. So are you a Rebel? An Artist? A Visionary?
Join us … and find yourself. ($24.95)
Evolution of the Word: The New Testament in the Order the Books Were Written
By Marcus J. Borg
Everyone knows the New Testament begins with the Gospel of Matthew, but how many know Matthew was actually one of the later books to be written? (It wasn’t even the first Gospel!) But Evolution of the Word is not your typical New Testament. Marcus J. Borg, esteemed Bible scholar and best-selling author, shakes up the order of the New Testament as we know it by putting the books in a completely new order — the order in which they were written. By doing so, this book allows us to read these documents in their historical context.
For the first time, see how the
core ideas of Christianity took
shape and developed over time.
Borg surveys what we know of
the Jewish community by Jesus’ followers who passed on their stories orally. Into this
context emerges the apostle Paul, whose seven authentic
letters become the first collected writings that would
later become the New Testament.
Borg offers helpful introductions for each book so
that, as we read through these biblical documents
spanning over a century in time, we see afresh what
concerns and pressures shaped this movement as it
evolved into a new religion. In this groundbreaking
format, Borg reveals how a radical and primitive
apocalyptic Jewish faith slowly became more comfortable
with the world, less Jewish, and more preoccupied
with maintaining power and control. Evolution of the
Word promises to change forever how we think about
this historic work. ($29.99)
The Five Levels of Attachment: Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World
By don Miguel Ruiz, Jr.
How attached are you?
Building on the principles
found in his
father’s best-selling book, The
Four Agreements, don Miguel
Ruiz, Jr. invites us to gauge how
attached we are to our own
point of view. In this book, he
will help you gain awareness of
the agreements you have been
implicitly making all these years
that shape your reality, affect
your future, and show you how
to release the attachments
which no longer reflect who you really are.
This method is 20 years in the making. When don
Miguel Ruiz, Jr. began his apprenticeship into his
family’s Toltec tradition, he was just 14 years old. His
first task was translating his grandmother’s talks from
Spanish into English. One day, as he struggled to keep
up with her, she asked him, “Are you using knowledge,
or is knowledge using you?” Finding the answer to this
question would shape the destiny of his life.
In this ground-breaking work, Ruiz explains each of
the Five Levels of Attachment in detail, and shows that
as our level of attachment to a belief or idea increases, “who we are” becomes directly linked to “what we
know.” Our attachment to beliefs — our own and the
beliefs of others — manifests as a mask we don’t realize
we can take off. But with don Miguel Ruiz’s help, and
some Toltec wisdom along the way, we can return to our
True, Authentic Selves, unhindered by judgment and
free to pursue our true life’s calling. ($18.95)

techniques for detecting the movement of energy in
our bodies (even if you’ve never sensed energy before).
