Being in the World explores how to be on a spiritual path while dealing with life's challenges. Topics include life task, karma, time, incarnation, aging, death, money, the environment, religion, imagination, and beauty. From the Preface: Throughout history, there have been many visions for a better world. We can sense how beautiful it could be. Although enlightened activism is needed, it is the bringing forth of the beauty of our being that is the key to creating a beautiful world. This is being in the world. The more we resist the world, the more unpleasant it is for us, whereas the more we are truly in the world, the more beautiful we experience it to be. What better vocation is there than to bring the beauty of our being into the world?

We live in a universe of energy. Matter is energy vibrating at a speed we are designed to perceive with our five physical senses, but the vast majority of energy is invisible to the naked eye. We each have a field of energy in and around us called the "aura." Learning to keep it clean and free from foreign intrusions can increase our health and well-being on all levels. This book is a short introduction to how to perceive our energy field and release negativity. Topics include chakras, contracts, vows, cording, entities, implants, psychic attack, earthbound souls, soul retrieval, and more.

The spiritual path is a journey into joy. In joy, life flows freely in us and we flow freely in life. We do not learn to live in joy overnight; it is a lifelong process. Joy is not found merely by smiling and thinking positive thoughts, but by releasing our blocks and opening, a step at a time, to our soul.Pain is a message that something is wrong. We can grow by constructively dealing with it, but when we live with consciousness and skill, we minimize pain and increasingly grow through joyful means rather than the "school of hard knocks."Growing Through Joy can help you experience greater fulfillment and purpose.

In this book, Shepherd Hoodwin explores the issue of evil from the soul's point of view, drawing on the channeled Michael teachings. Topics include karma, how souls evolve, the roots of evil, anger and fear, revenge, shadows, forgiveness, conscience, guilt, redemption, and love.

When I was diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), my doctor prescribed a rigorous diet and regimen to heal my gut. There were many online resources, but trying to understand them and figure out what I was supposed to do made my brain hurt. The information out there is mostly not presented very clearly for the beginner. As I finally figured it out, I thought I could save others some trouble by presenting this distillation.Digestive problems are an epidemic in our modern world, with our degraded food supply and pollution. In my reading, I was amazed to learn how many conditions can be improved or healed by healing the small intestine. I hope this information gets out more.

Is unconditional love in politics an oxymoron? Thus far, it's been a rare commodity if it has ever existed. This book explores what we can do about it, as well as why both right and left have useful parts to play in our evolution, the factors that influence a person's tilt to the right or left, and what unconditional love might look like in this sphere.

The Michael teachings are an extraordinary body of channeled material that paint a vivid portrait of how we, as eternal souls, set up our lifetimes - why we're here, what our lessons are, and how we can learn them more efficiently and joyfully.Shepherd Hoodwin has written several Michael books that are available here. This short one explores how we can use the teachings to increase our happiness, which ultimately is the aim of every spiritual path.

Being in love is one of the great highs of life, yet it is often elusive or ephemeral. Unrequited love is a common theme of songs, and almost everyone experiences it on both sides. Just why are we attracted to some people and not to others? This book explores a multitude of factors on three levels: spiritual, psychological, and physical. Being able to identify the elements of our attraction to someone can help us be clearer on what we have and what we don't. In comparing them to our relationship priorities, we can determine whether there's enough there for a long-term relationship. Topics include agreements, life path, soul chemistry, male/female energy ratio, celibacy, body-type attraction, sexual orientation, monogamy, and polyfidelity. EVERYONE SHOULD READ WHY WE'RE ATTRACTED!!!Clear understanding of one of the everlasting enigmas of life! Far better than Freud or any other psychologist.- C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., author of Living Bliss: Major Discoveries Along the Holistic Path

Few realize how profound, multi-faceted, and far-reaching the concept of choice is in our spiritual growth. This short book explores topics such as what is and is not our right to choose, our power as creators and the limits of our reality creation, how consciousness expands, and much more.

Opening to Healing is an exploration of energy and its impact on our lives. We are all on a path of healing, and the awareness it promotes can help each of us experience greater well-being in everyday life. However, it is especially relevant to those who are dealing with illness in themselves or others.This book is not focused on physical techniques, nor is it an in-depth study of mental or emotional factors in illness-many good books are already available on those topics. Rather, it focuses on the spiritual factors of healing.Everything is energy. What we experience as solid is simply a particular frequency of it. Our bodies are the surface manifestation of far more extensive energies. To ignore form is unwise, but to ignore the energies behind it is to disregard most of what is.Your experience of this book can itself be an opening to healing. Reading slowly and meditatively, relaxing into the spirit of the words, can lift you into a higher state of being."I read Opening to Healing from cover to cover today-it was a beautiful experience. It is inspiring, uplifting, and educational. The love and compassion, and opportunity within it for movement, growth, and grace are palpable.
