This well-conceived, intelligently compiled, clearly organized compendium of eye care offers basic information about the eye, an alphabetical listing of eye and visual system disorders, and, without prejudice, both conventional and alternative treatments for a wide range of common and unusual eye problems. Part one gives basic information about the eyes and how to care for them, including detailed sections on nutrition, herbal therapies, and homeopathic remedies. The second section begins with a troubleshooting guide of symptoms and possible causes and a brief but thorough section on first aid, then discusses disorders of the eye and visual system in alphabetical order, from accommodative insufficiency and albinism to styes, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and suppression. Each entry gives an overview of the disorder; conventional treatments and self-treatments; tables detailing effective nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic remedies; and a list of general recommendations. The third section offers eye-care techniques and procedures, including the latest information on refractive surgeries and vision therapies.

Balasa Prasad
Dr. Prasad contends that smoking is a problem of the mind, not of nicotine addiction. Why do most people who try to quit smoking fail - even with the help of the nicotine patch, gum, medications, hypnotism, or other state-of-the-art aids? In his radical approach to conquering the smoking habit, Dr. Balasa Prasad states that these crutches are ineffective because they futilely focus on nicotine addiction instead of the underlying psychological triggers that enslave smokers to their habits. His inspirational and practical program gives readers a confidence in their inner strength, helps them identify their addictive profile with the use of questionnaires, and provides a powerful three-step plan that will help them kick the habit once and for all.

Darlene Cohen
Darlene Cohen discovered the secret to finding happiness in the midst of debilitating pain. She shares her knowledge in her popular workshops and now in this book. Cohen, who has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for eighteen years, was hobbling painfully to her local Zen centre one day, when she made a discovery that changed her life: if she focused on the foot that was in the air rather than the one that was hitting the pavement, her stamina increased enormously. It was the beginning of a completely different approach to the crippling pain that had beset her for so long. As she demonstrates here, this approach can be expanded to all types of pain: physical, psychological, and spiritual. Cohen - a certified massage and movement therapist and Zen teacher - proposes a radically liberating alternative to the usual desperate search for pain relief: paradoxically, she says, release from suffering lies in paying closer attention to it. When we keep pain at bay, we keep pleasure at bay, too. The two are interdependent, and our ability to experience each is totally dependent on our understanding of the other. "Enrich your life exponentially," Cohen advises. If your pain is one of the ten things you are aware of, then it constitutes a tenth of your total awareness. Expand your awareness to a hundred things, however, and your pain is only a hundredth of your awareness. With stories, strategies, exercises, and an awareness born of long Zen practice, Cohen shows us how to tap into that enrichment - and how we can lead a satisfying and even joyful life in the very midst of pain.

Auras have two main purposes: to form a protective layer around us, and to act as a transmitting and receiving station for thoughts and emotions. Thoughts are living things which radiate from us 24 hours a day. Kirlian photography is a fascinating new tool that enables us to see, in graphic form, how this electrical layer varies from person to person. The book concludes with practical tests that anyone can do to show the reality of this old - yet partly understood - phenomenon.

Elliott S Dacher
For more than 20 years, Dr Elliott Dacher, a practising and leading advocate of mind/body healing, has worked with thousands of patients, treating them by helping them rethink their ideas about healing and wellness. Using an original "whole healing" model, Dr Dacher highlights our four healing systems, which together have a remarkable power to keep us well: the body's own natural system of checks and balances; the mind/body approach, in which physical and psychological components are interdependent; the best traditional and alternative treatments available; and the transforming strength of our spiritual resources. When we draw on these four healing systems simultaneously, Dr Dacher argues, we can profoundly affect our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Using these fundamental concepts, Dr Dacher includes step-by-step, imaginative exercises that start the reader on an incremental and exciting path to wellness. Whole Healing takes the reader on a journey from powerlessness to purpose as we confront the physical and emotional ills that are an essential part of human experience.

This groundbreaking work examines the role of women in the Western healing traditions.

Diane Stein
Women are naturally healers. Throughout time, they have performed curative roles as mothers, midwives, caregivers, and wisewomen, but modern medicine has suppressed this important tradition. Ancient women healers knew that the body is more than what is seen: through body, emotions, mind, and spirit, we can actively choose to heal ourselves and others. By relearning and using ancient skills like aura and chakra work, creative visualization, meditation, laying on of hands, psychic healing, and working with crystals and gemstones, women can prevent or transform many dis-eases of the body and spirit before they become matters for modern medicine. Diane Stein, author of the bestselling Essential Reiki, demystifies, explains, and teaches these skills in ways that modern women can learn and use. She first introduces basic healing, then applies those skills to healing with crystals and gemstones - a beautiful, effective, and empowering aspect of the ancient woman’s healing methods.
