Every one of us has far greater ability and energy than we realise and in everyday life we use only a small part of our extraordinary minds. There are untapped psychic skills to harness. Moreover, with others' guidance and our own determination, we have the power to create the beautiful, fulfilled and peaceful lives that our souls crave and deserve. We can learn to rise above life's challenges and turn them to our advantage, to heal the pain of past events and create new and happy relationships. And it's never too late. Sandra Francis is living proof of all this. Her early life limited by family circumstances and an autoimmune disease, in middle age she went along to a meditation class simply to try and find peace during a challenging period. A psychic development class followed and Sandra realised she had 'come home', with a natural flair for psychometry, mediumship, healing and oracle card reading. Yet, far more importantly, she set out on a spiritual path of loving acceptance, forgiveness of her own and others' mistakes, and gratitude for all that life offers us. Just in time, too, because life was about to become even more traumatic... In this searingly honest and beautifully written book, she shows us how we too can not only be healed but also become greater than we ever believed possible.

The loss of a beloved pet can be devastating. For many, they have been a full member of the family, caring and unconditionally loving, much more than a furry friend. We need to know whether they live on and can perhaps even communicate with us. This wonderful, page-turning book has the answers - and much more - told in down-to-earth language and often with humour. Glynis Amy Allen is an hereditary medium, guided in childhood by her Grandma Mac, the local Wise Woman, and she has had a lifelong close personal link with the animal world. Here, she tells many fascinating and evidential stories of animal survival after death, as well as giving compassionate guidance on how to deal with the grief of their loss. Not only this, Glynis also describes the amazing healing and psychic abilities of many different animals and teaches us how to invite their spirits to support us in our life journeys. Be reassured that your dear pet's spirit certainly lives on after their passing, and that you can reach out and connect with them again.

This is Peter Walker's fifth collection of poetry, mature and deeply perceptive of the nature of being human in this wonderful natural world.

He expresses the full range of the spirit with sensitivity and often with searing, self-deprecating wit. This is a collection that the reader will want to return to again and again, each time perceiving something new in a certain pause or the choice of a precise word. Deserved winner of the Local Legend national Spiritual Writing Competition.

Since the beginning of human history, our ancestral roots and those of the hedgerows have been intimately entangled. Now, often forgotten amongst the hedgerows, the 'wild weeds' still offer amazing medicinal opportunities, delicious sources of food and fascinating legends of our past. Many of the secrets of our history lie hidden in the stories of these plants. Our ancestors, living in harmony with the cycles of nature, knew how to prepare wild food, prepare remedies, make protective talismans and so much more. But we have lost our connection with the magic of nature… In this fascinating and unique book, richly illustrated, Jo Dunbar shows us what we so often miss in the beauty all around us. We learn here which plants to pick (or avoid!) and how to use them for ourselves. And woven in with this are the ancient stories and folklore of the countryside, firing our imagination and helping us to communicate in a real way with our natural environment.Jo has been practising as a medical herbalist since 1999 and is the founder of Botanica Medica Herbal Apothecary. It was through growing and collecting the herbs for her apothecaries that she developed a personal relationship with hedgerow plants and trees. This love of nature led her also to follow the Druidic path, honouring all lifeforms on Earth as well as the cycles of the year.Jo grew up in South Africa where she first studied horticulture and worked with Xhosa men who taught her about indigenous plants and how they are used magically and medically. She now lives in Hampshire, England, and is the author of How to Cope Successfully with Candida (Wellhouse Publishing Ltd, 2003) and the self-published Recovering from Stress, Burn Out and Fatigue.
