ANCIENT MYSTERIES / SACRED GEOMETRY "John Michell and Christine Rhone's book combines vision and tradition to produce a comprehensive guide to what they term 'the science of enchanting the landscape, ' as practiced across the ancient world. Their book is indispensable to anyone seeking an understanding of the way in which the threads of astrology, cosmology, number, and music were combined, in many countries and at many different periods, to provide a design for the fabric of society." --Pete Stewart, author of The Spiritual Science of the Stars Throughout the world--in countries as far apart as China, Ireland, Iceland, and Madagascar--there survive records and traditions of whole nations being divided into twelve tribes and twelve regions, each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and to one of the twelve months of the year. Best known are the twelve tribes of Israel under King Solomon, but there have been many others. Wherever they occur, they are associated with an ideal social order and a golden age of humanity. Exploring examples of these twelve-tribe societies, John Michell and Christine Rhone explain the blueprint for this organizational structure and look at the musical, mythological, and astronomical enchantments that kept these societies in harmony with the cosmos. They also examine the astrological landscapes of classical Greece, the aligned St. Michael sanctuaries of Europe, and the true site and function of the Temple in Jerusalem. They show that the sacred geography of these sites was part of an ancient code of knowledge that produced harmony between nature and humanity and is as relevant to our present and future as it was to our past. JOHN MICHELL, educated at Eton and Cambridge, is the pioneer researcher and specialist in the field of ancient, traditional science. He is the author of more than 25 books that have profoundly influenced modern thinking, including The Dimensions of Paradise, The New View over Atlantis, and Secrets of the Stones. He lives in London. CHRISTINE RHONE is an artist and writer with a special interest in landscape symbolism. The translator of several important works, including Jacques Le Goff's Saint Francis of Assisi, Antoine Faivre's Theosophy, Imagination, Tradition, and Jean Richer's Sacred Geography of the Ancient Greeks, she lives in London.

MEDITATION / EASTERN SPIRITUALITY"Nine Designs for Inner Peace is a practical guide to the ancient tantric art of Yantra painting and Yantra meditation, leaving no detail aside. Shining through in every aspect of the book, one finds the deep inner peace promised as a result of this yoga practice."--Peter Marchand, author of The Yoga of Truth and The Yoga of the Nine Emotions"This masterful guide is a work of warmth, inspiration, and beauty. A brilliant teaching for the artist, yogi, or seeker, it reveals ancient, mystical elements of sacred geometry as meditative tools and powerful connections to the Divine."--Danny Paradise, international ashtanga yoga instructorThe tantric art of drawing or painting the Nine Designs known as Yantras is an ancient practice of active meditation that yields positive healing and centering effects. Each of the corresponds to nine qualities of body and mind essential to well-being: radiance, nourishment, passion, intellect, expansion, bliss, organization, uniqueness, and spirituality. From the basic elements of the square, the circle, and the triangle, dynamic visual meditations unfold as the practitioner works clockwise from the outer elements inward toward the central point of stillness, or bindu, the source of happiness within. While preparing each Yantra, an accompanying mantra is recited to fully engage the senses in the meditative process.Creating the design that "speaks" most to the practitioner enables its unique healing quality to be transmitted. For example, working on the Radiance Yantra cultivates optimism and the self-confidence to succeed in one's endeavors, while "radiating," or imparting, one's inner light to others.This workbook provides an important resource for active meditation, a practice revered for its effectiveness in revealing the spiritual underpinnings of everyday life. The active participation of the body in meditation while creating the nine planetary Yantras raises the practitioner's intentions and actions to the level of spiritual ritual and gives access to profound states of healing integration.SARAH TOMLINSON studied Yantra painting in India with tantric master and artist Harish Johari, who revealed to her the healing power of meditation with Yantras. She is the founder and codirector of the Ayurveda-Yoga Institute of New York, and she trains teachers and students throughout the United States and Kingdom. She lives in Jersey.

Newly updated to showcase color photographs, this spiritual classic presents the history and philosophy of Scotland's Findhorn Community. Findhorn was founded more than 40 years ago in far northeast Scotland on windswept and barren sand dunes that happened to sprout a miraculous garden. Plants, flowers, trees, and organic vegetables of enormous sizes began to grow in a small plot around the 30-foot caravan trailer inhabited by three adults and three children living on meager unemployment benefits. Guidance by God and absolute faith in the art of manifestation led the occupants to this unlikely locale to create a magnetic center that would draw people from all over the world. Their discovery of how to contact and cooperate with the nature spirits and devas that made the garden possible sparked a phenomenon that continues today, as Findhorn has grown into a thriving village housing hundreds of people from all over the world and an internationally recognized spiritual-learning center.

HEALTH / NUTRITION "Detoxification is the missing link in Western nutrition. So many people and so many health conditions can benefit from the approach found in Dr. Vasey's The Detox Mono Diet." --Elson M. Haas, M.D., The Detox Doc, author of The New Detox Diet and Staying Healthy with Nutrition The grape cure, the lemon cure, the maple syrup cure, and the apple diet are all variations of mono diets that are based on restricting food intake to one food for a period of time. Using the famous Grape Cure pioneered by Johanna Brandt as his model, Christopher Vasey demonstrates why these restricted diets are so effective in healing illness and restoring optimum health. Despite the different nutritive qualities of the chosen food, all these diets work the same way: They help the body "burn" the waste products it contains to cleanse the internal cellular environment. They also keep the body's eliminatory organs open in order to prevent the buildup of toxins. While these cures are responsible for healing people of many serious illnesses, including cancer, their principal use lies in the way they naturally enhance the body's health by eliminating waste products and preventing the body from absorbing toxins during this process. The Detox Mono Diet is a practical guide that provides all the information necessary for following a detoxification regimen. To make the application most successful, the author explains how to interpret your body's reactions in a way that will allow you to adapt the cure to match your specific physiological needs, making your return to optimum health a unique journey. Christopher Vasey, N.D., is a naturopath specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation. He is the author of The Water Prescription and the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health. He lives near Montreux, Switzerland.

A guide to observation of the inner self through the ancient Indian game of Leela • Comes complete with foldout game board and commentary for the 72 spaces • Mirrors the path of obstacles and insights one encounters in self-development • Repeated play offers lessons in self-understanding Chutes and Ladders, the popular children’s game, is derived from the ancient Hindu game Leela, or Snakes and Arrows, which charts the ups and downs of the soul’s path toward reunion with the Infinite. Snakes and Arrows was designed by the seers and saints of India as a tool for understanding the relationship of the individual self to the Absolute Self. For thousands of years the 72 spaces on this game board have enabled players to chart the paths that represent the course of their lives. Each space represents a virtue or a vice, an aspect of consciousness, or a plane of reality and is accompanied by a commentary explaining its meaning. The player’s progress on the board is dictated by the fall of a die corresponding to the forces of karma. Repeated encounters with the snakes and arrows on the board reveal the full meaning of the commentaries and can give shape to habitual patterns of the player, resulting in greater self-understanding and even a gradual detachment from the ego’s delusions. The Yoga of Snakes and Arrows assists the seeker through the stages and trials of self-development, mirroring both the obstacles of karma and the rewards of self-obtained insight. There is really only one game in life and that is Leela, the game of self-knowledge and the universal play of cosmic energies.

HEALTH / ARTHRITIS "This book contains a wealth of practical information that can bring dramatic improvement to those suffering from arthritis. Raquel Martin emphasizes that when a multidisciplinary approach that draws upon natural therapies is used, arthritis sufferers are able to diminish--and often arrive at a cure for--their suffering." --John Hart, M.D. "I enthusiastically recommend this book, not only for people with arthritis, but for anyone who wishes to explore new ways to achieve optimum health. I also recommend it to my colleagues who would like to learn more about nutrition, phytonutrients, and alternative or complementary medicine." --Ralph C. Lee, M.D. "Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen Alternative, it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. . . . Well, she's done it again. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information, and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all." --David Getoff, N.D., Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist Each year thousands of people struggling with the debilitating effects of arthritis hear their doctors say that they will just have to learn to live with the pain. After experiencing this firsthand, Raquel Martin was determined to find a better way. Together with Dr. Karen Romano, Martin developed a comprehensive self-help program designed to prevent and reverse degenerative inflammatory disease without drugs and their unwelcome or dangerous side effects. The authors show readers how to address the causes rather than merely medicate the symptoms of arthritis by implementing holistic lifestyle changes--from using medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, and natural hormone therapy to employing whole foods, exercise, and chiropractic care. Thoroughly researched and clearly presented, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally guides readers through the labyrinth of recent medical studies related to the effects and treatment of this disease. In addition, it discusses the exclusion of alternative therapies from most insurance coverage and provides advice on the action consumers can take to address this. Part practical medical resource, part encouraging guide, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally will inspire all readers to take charge of all aspects of their health. RAQUEL MARTIN, who lives in Georgia with her husband, is the author of The Estrogen Alternative and Today's Health Alternative. KAREN J. ROMANO, R.N., D.C., also a resident of Georgia, is a chiropractor in private practice and has taught nutrition at Life University in Marietta.
