 Book Signing and Talk with Jim Stacey, author of Creating Intimate Relationships: The Secret of Shared Divinity - Oct. 23, 7 p.m. at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room * In relationships, most people know the experience of hiding something from their past that prevents them from creating the delights of transparency and intimacy. We are afraid of sharing our deepest fears, failures, frustrations and tears. Why? Jim says this happens because we have not yet recognized, claimed or activated our Divine Self. In doing this, all negatives fall away as we celebrate together our shared divinity. Free. Call Rachel at 665-2757; rachel@crazywisdom.net..

 October, or Autumnal Tints
(Hardcover)
By Henry David Thoreau, Lincoln Perry, Robert D. Richardson
List Price: $17.95
Our Price: $12.57
(Save: $5.39 30%)
Originally delivered as a lecture shortly before the writer s own death, Henry David Thoreau s classic Autumnal Tints is an ode to autumn not as the season of death and decay, but of ripeness, fullness, and maturity. It is perhaps the best piece ever written on the subject of the fall color of the changing leaves. Thoreau hoped one day to turn it into an illustrated book called October, or Autumnal Tints. Thoreau s astute meditations are framed by a biographical essay by acclaimed scholar Robert D. Richardson that delves into the events and relationships influencing Thoreau s philosophy. Sensuous watercolors by Lincoln Perry bring to life the fall colors described so ecstatically by Thoreau, allowing longtime Thoreau fans and leaf-peepers alike to feel as though they are walking among the falling leaves alongside one of our best observers of the natural world.

 Miracles Happen: The Transformational Healing Power of Past-Life Memories
(Hardcover)
By Brian L. Weiss, Amy E. Weiss
List Price: $25.99
Our Price: $18.19
(Save: $7.80 30%)
As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas. Yet these memories allowed her to recover from her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks in a way he'd never experienced. His skepticism eroded further when she began to channel messages from "the space between lives" and reveal truths about his dead son that she never could have known. Now a leader in the field of past-life therapy, Dr. Weiss has helped thousands connect with their past lives and experience tremendous healing. In "Miracles Happen," Weiss, along with his daughter, Amy, shares these remarkable real-life stories to reveal how past-life regression holds the keys to our spiritual purpose.
The awareness that we have multiple lifetimes, separated by spiritual interludes on the other side, helps to dissolve the fear of death and bring more peace and joy into the present moment. And in "Miracles Happen," personal stories, accompanied by Dr. Weiss's inspiring teachings, reveal how getting in touch with our past lives can profoundly and permanently heal mind and body. In the end, we come away inspired, renewed, and assured of the truth that we are eternal beings who are free to heal our current wounds by better understanding our past. It's a practice that helps us improve our current lives, evolve along our spiritual paths, and live each day with purpose.
