Yoga Mind, Body and Spirit: A Return to Wholeness

20 reviews
Donna Farhi

Newleaf, 2001

Enligtening and refreshing way to experience asana/movement
I've read and really enjoyed Donna's other books, but never bothered to read this one because of my almost 10 years of practicing asana and having read tons of asana books I thought that all of the books said the same thing. I recently took one of her week long trainings and practically filled my notebook with all of this new and great information. Later I bought this book and lo and behold most ...

Baby Om: Yoga for Mothers and Babies

14 reviews
Laura Staton, Sarah Perron

Newleaf, 2003

Perfect combination and integration!
This book is exactly what I was looking for... it offers a great yoga workout in each stage of postpartum recovery and getting back into shape, and it also integrates your infant. A lot of programs are either primarily focused on the infant (and, let's face it, we as new moms are the ones who need the workout and the release that comes with it), or forget the baby altogher having you leave your ...

The Pool of Memory: The Autobiography of an Unwilling Intuitive

Michal Levin

Newleaf, 1999

A story to inspire all spiritual travellers
I am by nature a sceptic and extremely suspicious of those who claim they have, or can, see angels and auras and have visions. If I had not met Michal Levin in the early 80s as a journalist researching an article on Vietnamese refugees I would not have given this book a second glance. But she had impressed with her dedication to detail, her passion for accuracy, in short, her commitment to ...

The Healthy Back Exercise Book: Achieving and Maintaining a Healthy Back

Deborah Fielding, Simon Fielding

Newleaf, 2002

Worth the Price
If your back hurts half as bad as mine, then order this book! Good photos, explanations, and layout. There are many others on the market, but this is one of the most helpful in my back's most humble opinion. And yes, my back "speaks" to me all the time!

Living Water: Viktor Schauberger and the Secrets of Natural Energy

Olof Alexandersson

Newleaf, 2002

Great introduction to IMPLOSION and what we missed out !
I have to say - I got very AGGRAVATED by some portions of this book , because it TOTALLY agreed and expanded on my very own frustrations with our retarded "modern" technologies. I have ALWAYS dreaded NOISE - I haven't done empirical research on this subject, but my gut instinct has led me to run from & truly hate noisy machines. I feel like someone were stabbing me when I am exposed to a ...

Michael Van Straten

Newleaf, 1999

Fabulous Food Facts
I bought The Healthy Food Directory about five years ago and refer to it at least four times a week (sometimes twice in a day). If you really care about what the food you consume is doing for your body-this is the book for you! I call it my 'food bible' and have recommended it to many of my friends and my family. I love the the careful cataloguing that Dr. Van Straten has done to provide me with ...

Worry: The Root of All Evil
Theresa Francis-Cheung

Newleaf, 2001

The worry-free life doesn't exist. Everyone, even the most calm, confident and enlightened among us, worries. Although worry can be good, warning us that we are in danger, persistent worry is harmful for virtually every system in the body. It also holds us back from achieving our true potential by putting the brakes on change. By confronting our fear head on, we are shown how it can be managed, controlled and, above all, transformed into a ...

The Grace in Dying: How We Are Transformed Spiritually as We Die

25 reviews
Kathleen Dowling Singh

Newleaf, 1999

Passing to the other side
I came across a copy of this book a few months after my mother's passing. Although I was familiar with various perspectives on the spiritual and transpersonal aspects of dying this book was my guide to understanding some of the subtleties of her physical and mental withdrawal. It provided me with some "aha!" insights. This insightful book about the "psycho-spiritual" aspects of dying, draws ...

Solid Overview Of Research On Fluoride & It's Hazards
This book reviews the science and salesmanship involved in the fluoride debate, as there is no clear valid evidence of significant benefits from added fluoride consumption, while there are many independent studies showing a variety of potential negative mental & physical effects. This evidence has been available previously in some other texts and online information collections, and is beyond ...

Newleaf, 2003

Fighting infection the natural way
Way back in the 1940s, the discovery of antibiotics represented a great medical breakthrough that saved many lives in the years since. Unfortunately the over-prescription and unwise use of these medicines have created resistant organisms and in this age of the superbug it is wise to become familiar with the natural alternatives that fight infection and that usually have fewer and less serious ...

Osho Zen Tarot: The Transcendental Game of Zen
Osho

Newleaf, 1994

The tarot can be approached as a "book of life", and the explanatory book aims to enable anyone to read the cards. The images are simpler than the more obscure symbolism of traditional tarot, which needs a "reader" to interpret. The book explains how best to work with the energy of the cards, and includes Zen anecdotes and stories by Osho to illuminate the essential of each card, and to help even those who are unfamiliar with the teachings of ...
