Myrna Lofthus
Drawing upon the universal teaching of reincarnation, especially as expressed in Edgar Cayce's work, Myrna Lofthus illuminates the karmic patterns reflected in the birth chart. This comprehensive text places astrology within a spiritual context and makes it accessible to beginning students with no prior knowledge of astrology and to the more advanced student who wants a more specialized work on the subtler implications of astrological configurations. Dozens of charts and illustrations help the reader to understand the astronomical and the theoretical foundations of the birth chart. The lengthy section on aspects not only explains their karmic meaning but includes interpretations of the 40 -- ("nonagen" or "novile") and the 150 -- ("quincunx") aspects, as well as aspects to the Moon's nodes, Part of Fortune, Ascendant, and Midheaven, all of which are rarely found in other books. Myrna Lofthus is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Pacific Lutheran University and a lifelong student of world religions and philosophies. Strongly influenced in her search for truth by the philosophy of psychic Edgar Cayce and by the astrological concepts of Isabel Hickey, Myrna Lofthus has come to view astrology as a way an individual can find the main purpose of this incarnation. Her approach to astrology is to re-awaken the conscious mind to the intentions and meaning of this lifetime of which the higher self was aware before birth. "Thus,"she writes, "you are made aware of what you wished to accomplish and in what areas of life you need the most work and understanding." RARE, out of print.

Garma Chang
This book is a concentrated introduction to the mental, physical and spiritual exercises of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasising the practice of Yoga exercises. The key to its understanding is the learning of Dumo - the generating of internal heat in one’s body. Dumo’s special meaning for Tibetan Yoga flows from the profoundly anti-ascetic and anti-pessimistic doctrine of Tantric Buddhism. The author means precisely what he says when he explains that opposites are also inseparable unities and that the best example of this is that the human body-mind can be made into the body of a "Buddha." Equally, sexual bliss can become divine bliss.

Michael Hobson
Every single man, woman, and child has been contaminated with a "chemical soup" of known cancer-causing agents such as benzene, styrene, ethylphenol, and toluene. These poisons accumulate in the fatty tissues of the body and, unless specific steps are taken to purge them, they remain there, eventually compromising the immune system to the point that illness results. Hobson's research over the last seven years has lead to the development of a treatment protocol that successfully reduces "bioaccumulations" and clears up a broad range of health problems, from arthritis to allergies.

Maoshing Ni
The Neijing is one of the most important classics of Taoism, as well as the highest authority on Traditional Chinese medicine. This new translation consists of the eighty-one chapters of the section of the Neijing known as the Suwen, or "Questions of Organic and Fundamental Nature. “Written in the form of a discourse between Huang Di and his ministers, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine contains a wealth of knowledge, including etiology, physiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of disease, as well as an in-depth investigation of such diverse subjects as ethics, psychology, and cosmology. All of these subjects are discussed in a holistic context that says life is not fragmented, as in the model provided by modern science, but rather that all the pieces make up an interconnected whole. By revealing the natural laws of this holistic universe, the book offers much practical advice on how to promote a long, happy, and healthy life. The original text of the Neijing presents broad concepts and is often brief with details. The translator's elucidations and interpretations, incorporated into the translation, help not only to clarify the meaning of the text but also to make it a highly readable narrative.
