Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. I have written The Living Spirit not just for healers, but for anyone who wants to awaken to their soul's mission and to the incredible plan God has for them. It is intended as a compassionate and supportive guide for others beginning their spiritual journey as mediums, psychics, and energy healers or simply for those with questions about who they are, what life is all about, and whether there is indeed life after death. In short, it is the book I wish I had on that night all those years ago. In gratitude for my spiritual gifts, I made a commitment to live according to the universal laws of energy and to share all I've learned with others. This includes helping others to conquer their childhood fears and limitations so their souls can mature. As our souls grow and expand, our physical lives expand and abound in abundance. It is my hope that by reading the personal stories shared by a host of people and those from my daily life, it will become apparent to you that each of us is more than we appear to be. We can transform our selves and our world into a place that reflects the best of our divine gifts. When one shifts to living in conjunction with spirit, and to moving through their emotional issues with new vision and expertise, anything is possible. Another major emphasis of this book is to share the miraculous happenings and coincidences that have proven to me, a former skeptic, that life is not random, and all our experiences are the way to a higher understanding of self. There are three main points that I hope readers take away from The Living Spirit: -We are divine soul beings interconnected to each other and to the universal energy that supports all of us. -Life is not random. Throughout our lives we will experience a series of coincidences that are not coincidental at all, but Spirit, whispering words of love and guidance in our ears. -Our loved ones in afterlife guide us to expand our understanding of our soul nature and our physical lives. I invite readers to share this journey with me and learn to let go of any restriction preventing their full enjoyment of life. Once we become aware of how we can recognize and utilize coincidences, synchronicities, and higher guidance, we ca we can begin our exploration of what these mean in our lives and in our role in the world. We all have the Divine-given abilities to repair our wounds and misguided thinking. Through meditation and energy work like Reiki, we can learn to quiet the mind of negative chatter and learn to find that place within where we are sure of God's love and guidance. "Reiki Master practitioner and medium describes the power of energy healing and explains how to recognize and embrace messages from our spirit guides as a means to improve our health and relationships"-- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The trade gap between the United States and China is a perennial news staple. Our commonplace goods are manufactured in such far-flung places as Honduras, Mexico, and Korea. Why has the distinction Made in America become such a rarity? The cynics always talk about the hard economic realities of our times. They suggest that American manufacturing has reached the end of its road; this is the price we pay for globalization. Alan Uke sees it differently. Buying America Back outlines his plan to turn back the tide with a grass-roots movement to promote American industry by helping American consumers have a better understanding of where their goods (and services) come from. Buying America Back emphasizes the importance of grooming a culture of self-informed consumers in the U.S.A., while reinforcing this with initiatives from the federal government. Surprising and enlightening, Buying America Back encourages us to take action to serve our part as responsible consumers and conscientious citizens. American prosperity is not a thing of the past, and this book shows us the way back!San Diego entrepreneur Uke presents a straightforward thesis in this engaging policy proposal: consumer thirst for cheap imports has strangled U.S. manufacturing employment and stifled our economy. The manufacturing sector, which lost 5.2 million jobs from 2000 to 2010, accounts for only 10% of the economy compared with its dominant role in 1965. Uke explodes the myth of a shift to high-tech output and notes that Germany and other countries with higher labor costs than ours compete successfully with Asia. He argues convincingly that the offshore exodus of production facilities entails the loss of high-paying spinoff jobs, the departure of R&D facilities and other centers of innovation, and the erosion of service-sector jobs. The proper response, Uke plausibly argues, is not across-the-board protectionism or isolationism, but empowering the consumer by toughening disclosure of country-of-origin product data. Accurate disclosure would enable consumers to reward local producers or those with high local-product content. Uke perceptively points out that this approach is increasingly popular with food, and prevalent in many other countries. Determined consumer leadership on this issue, he maintains, could goad Congress into action and prompt corporations to revive domestic production. Uke's refreshingly invective-free writing and hands-on manufacturing experience compel our consideration; his proposal is simple and his goals are lofty. Attention should be paid.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The unenlightened organization invests too much attention to trends in the external environment and what competitors or other organizations are doing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sustainability Sutra addresses the pursuit of sustainability as the crucial point in our transformation from an industrial society to one with a successful ecology for its inhabitants. It explores in detail how this can be accomplished through an ecological global-growth strategy that converts economic growth into ecological improvement. This book introduces concepts for building an ecological future in market economies and examines how the price system can send clear signals for sustainability. Combining ecological consumption taxation and new market and monetary rules can catalyze trillions of dollars of productive investment in a sustainable future. Sustainability Sutra is not a dry economist's tome but rather a meditative journey of self-discovery. It is a path and record of a writer's and reader's heart-way. By using the condensed and aphoristic Sutra form, Sustainability Sutra provocatively addresses both the heart and the mind as it points the way to moving from an afflicted present to a sustainable (and prosperous) future. Sustainability Sutra is also a challenge to those who believe that neither markets, capitalism, or economic growth, under any circumstances, are compatible with ecological improvement. Sustainability Sutra dispels these myths and provides a plan for harnessing the power of our economic structures in the interest of creating a brighter future for generations to come. Book jacket. "Presents an agenda for global economic growth to transform our ecological crisis to a prosperous and sustainable future"-- Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Global Survival: The Challenge and its Implications for Thinking and Acting is a book that is not necessarily ahead of its time. But, if we're lucky, it has come just in time.The threats we face as a species and a civilization are staggering, daunting, and all too real. The threat of war, or worse; environmental degradation; social, political, and economic woes; all of these are issues with worldwide implications both for us and future generations. Yet the solutions offered, when offered, are dangerously short-sighted and narrowly focused, often intensifying other, equally serious problems-or even creating new ones. To address this condition, a group of distinguished thought leaders came together and, in a 2003 edition of the journal World Futures, demonstrated how a broad array of human thought and activities interact to create and intensify the problems we face. This approach, here called Survival Research, could be the methodology that enables us to overcome obstacles to meaningful progress. The threat of war, or worse; environmental degradation; social, political, and economic woes; all of these are issues with worldwide implications both for us and future generations. This book demonstrates how a broad array of human thought and activities interact to create and intensify the problems we face.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. It's estimated that forty million Americans suffer from anxiety disorders--but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Millions more suffer in silence. Suzanne Jessee was one of them. Hospitalized at age thirty with severe depression, anxiety, and panic disorder, she was determined to overcome the mental paralysis and addictive behaviors that ruled her life. Not only did she personally triumph over these debilitating disorders, but she set out to study, train, and work in the world's leading treatment centers and has helped thousands of others to recover from severe anxiety. Through her research and stories of her experience, Escape Anxiety: 8 Steps to Freedom through Meditative Therapies Jessee gives the causes and patterns of these complicated and often misunderstood mental health problems and offers a program of natural treatments to regain health and happiness. Accompanied by a PBS special, Escape Anxiety is an exclusive look at the revolutionary treatment program Jessee successfully pioneered at the Betty Ford Center and other top addiction treatment centers. Her 8-Step Escape Anxiety program is designed to provide holistic, natural techniques to manage extreme stress and depression in order to escape their destructive consequences. At the heart of her program is Jessee's innovative method of Neurogenesis Meditative Therapy(TM) (NMT). Combining proven therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with ancient mindfulness practices, her methods empower anxiety sufferers by liberating them from unhealthy "thought myths" and helping them create sustainable, life-changing habits. Backed by recent scientific proof that meditation has a transformative effect on the physical brain, Suzanne demystifies the practice of meditation and demonstrates its power as a viable alternative to synthetic medications for treating anxiety. Each of the following steps of Jessee's program to break the patterns of anxiety is accompanied by exercises the reader can do at home, including a specially designed script for meditation: Step 1: Conquering Codependent Control Issues Step 2: Dismantling Perfectionism Step 3: Releasing Resentment and Forgiving Others Step 4: Surrendering Shame and Resentment: Forgiving Yourself Step 5: Defusing Catastrophic Thinking Step 6: Mastering Self-Regulation Step 7: Making Conscious Choices About Your Emotions Step 8: Rewriting Your Internal Dialogue After years of personal experience helping patients at the Betty Ford Center and other clinical settings, and recognition for her success from the top experts in the field, Suzanne Jessee now offers an affordable and accessible in-home treatment program to heal those who suffer from the devastating effects of anxiety disorders.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Each political cycle, candidates vying for public office warn that the upcoming election is the most important event of the millennium. For many whose names appear on a ballot, the statement is at least partially accurate: their political future rides on the outcome. The rest of us take such forebodings with a grain of salt. After all, how much damage can a single candidate (even a president) inflict given our time tested system of checks and balances? Turning Point makes the case for "plenty"; Barack Obama's transformative agenda has indeed remade America -- to the detriment of our economy and culture. In his third book, Governor Robert L. Ehrlich details the considerable damage inflicted to date, while analyzing how progressive policy has made America a far more insecure and weaker country. Culled from published opinion pieces authored by the Governor over the last eight years, Turning Point is a concise, articulate indictment of Western European style progressivism brought to America by its most charismatic (and dangerous) salesman. The presidential election of 2016 is a pivotal one. As such, Ehrlich asks whether Obama's agenda is indeed America's future. In other words, has the cumulative impact of progressivism reached the point of no return -- or -- will the next election cycle be a turning point for the return of common sense conservatism? Those of you who subscribe to the former point of view will appreciate Turning Point's conclusions, if not the accompanying analysis, while readers belonging to the loyal opposition will find plenty of material to keep them up at night. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you may identify with, however, all will find Governor Ehrlich's new book an enlightening, if not entertaining read. Enjoy.
