 Delta Medicine: Natural Therapies for the Five Functions of Cellular Health
By Yann Rougier, Claude Jasmin
List Price: $18.95
Our Price: $13.27
(Save: $5.69 30%)
A simple five-part program to awaken your self-healing potential at the cellular level - Gives your body the support it needs to control and reverse chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer or multiple sclerosis - Provides anti-stress and anti-fatigue breathing practices, color-coded food guides, detoxification plans for specific organs, relaxation techniques, and creative psychological exercises to remove any blocks to your will to heal - Explains how these methods are completely compatible and safe to use with modern medical therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation Developed by French doctor Yann Rougier to reinforce health at the cellular level, where disease first manifests, Delta Medicine provides a simple, step-by-step method to awaken your self-healing potential and give your body the support it needs to control and reverse chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer or multiple sclerosis. The Delta Medicine program addresses the five basic functions of a cell--breathing, nutrition, elimination of wastes, communication with other cells, and the creation and expression of emotions--with five corresponding practical tools: anti-stress and anti-fatigue breathing practices, color-coded food guides to develop the "reflexes" of healthy nutrition, targeted detoxification plans for specific organs, easy relaxation techniques to make peace with your illness and find calm during medical treatments, and creative psychological exercises to remove the unconscious blockages that often imprison your will to heal. An effective and perfectly safe complement to standard medical treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, Delta Medicine's gentle transformations offer a way to actively participate in your own healing.
 Eat the City: A Tale of the Fishers, Foragers, Butchers, Farmers, Poultry Minders, Sugar Refiners, Cane Cutters, Beekeepers, Winemakers and Brewers
By Robin Shulman
List Price: $26.00
Our Price: $18.20
(Save: $7.80 30%)
New York is not a city for growing and manufacturing food. It's a money and real estate city, with less naked earth and industry than high-rise glass and concrete. Yet in this intimate, visceral, and beautifully written book, Robin Shulman introduces the people of New York City - both past and present - who do grow vegetables, butcher meat, fish local waters, cut and refine sugar, keep bees for honey, brew beer, and make wine. In the most heavily built urban environment in the country, she shows an organic city full of intrepid and eccentric people who want to make things grow. What's more, Shulman artfully places today's urban food production in the context of hundreds of years of history, and traces how we got to where we are.
In these pages meet Willie Morgan, a Harlem man who first grew his own vegetables in a vacant lot as a front for his gambling racket. And David Selig, a beekeeper in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn who found his bees making a mysteriously red honey. Get to know Yolene Joseph, who fishes crabs out of the waters off Coney Island to make curried stews for her family. Meet the creators of the sickly sweet Manischewitz wine, whose brand grew out of Prohibition; and Jacob Ruppert, who owned a beer empire on the Upper East Side, as well as the New York Yankees.
Eat the City is about how the ability of cities to feed people has changed over time. Yet it is also, in a sense, the story of the things we long for in cities today: closer human connections, a tangible link to more basic processes, a way to shape more rounded lives, a sense of something pure.
Of course, hundreds of years ago, most food and drink consumed by New Yorkers was grown and produced within what are now the five boroughs. Yet people rarely realize that long after New York became a dense urban agglomeration, innovators, traditionalists, migrants and immigrants continued to insist on producing their own food. This book shows the perils and benefits-and the ironies and humor-when city people involve themselves in making what they eat.
Food, of course, is about hunger. We eat what we miss and what we want to become, the foods of our childhoods and the symbols of the lives we hope to lead. With wit and insight, Eat the City shows how in places like New York, people have always found ways to use their collective hunger to build their own kind of city.
 Stones of the Seven Rays: The Science of the Seven Facets of the Soul
By Michel Coquet
List Price: $24.95
Our Price: $17.47
(Save: $7.49 30%)
The magical and spiritual uses of the seven sacred gemstones--diamond, sapphire, emerald, jasper, topaz, ruby, and amethyst - Explores each sacred gem's effects on the seven facets of the soul and their corresponding virtues - Reveals their spiritual and therapeutic uses, the meaning of their colors, their ties to the chakras, and their historical use in amulets, talismans, and other magical tools - Outlines the basics of Seven Ray Science and the properties of each of the Seven Rays Taught solely in secret for millennia, the Science of the Seven Rays was introduced outside of the ancient mystery schools of Western and Hindu tradition by some of the great occultists of the late 19th and early 20th century: H. P. Blavatsky, Manly Hall, C. W. Leadbeater, and Alice Bailey. Based on the soul's seven-faceted nature, the Seven Ray system underlies metaphysical traditions around the world through its connections with the seven musical notes in the scale, the seven days in the week, the seven chakras, the seven colors of the rainbow, and the seven sacred planets. Laying out the key principles behind this spiritual science, Michel Coquet explores the seven sacred gemstones of the Seven Rays--diamond, sapphire, emerald, jasper, topaz, ruby, and amethyst--and shows that not all precious stones have true mystical powers: they must be charged, either naturally or through ritual, with a living deva or angelic presence before they can effect spiritual transformation and physical, mental, and soul healing. Drawing on Hindu, Jewish, pre-Columbian, and Greco-Roman magical traditions with precious stones as well as their use by great initiates of history--including Hildegard von Bingen, Paracelsus, Cornelius Agrippa, Elias Ashmole, Nicholas Flamel, and the Count de Saint Germain--Coquet examines each sacred gem's effects on the seven facets of the soul as well as their spiritual and therapeutic uses, the meaning of their colors, their influences on the chakras, and their use in amulets, talismans, and other magical tools. Illuminating techniques of invoking spirits into gemstones and reports of the power to enlarge diamonds at will, stones that produce anesthesia, and the use of gem medicines in India, Coquet reveals that while gems can influence our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, without daily work toward a gem's corresponding virtue, even a consecrated stone will have no effect, for the most beautiful gems are within.
