This book is not written to reinvent the wheel and offer up just another introduction to Buddhism. This has a fresh approach of Buddhism which does not stir up dust in areas that most people have not thought of. There are Buddhist teachers who would discuss things privately such as Buddhist views on UFOs, Adolf Hitler and the historical Jesus, but they would not give public talks or publish books on such controversal subjects. The author has the courage to do so as he bodly discusses such topics in this book.

Energy healing is a traditional Eastern therapy that exists today as alternative medicine in the West. To gain the most benefits, the roots and principles of therapeutic energy healing evident in Taoism, Buddhism, traditional Oriental medicine, and martial arts practices, need to be understood to nurture effective healing in contemporary living. Since energy healing is an oral tradition and there are few genuine healers today who can truly cure or transmit true teachings. In the author's travels to South-East Asia in Penang, he was fortunate to meet a remarkable master energy healer of Qigong, Sifu Yap Soon Yeong, who is the founder of Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong (CFQ). The author soon became convinced that CFQ was unique in that it is the only energy healing system that is truly good enough to deliver on its claims on transforming mind, body, and spirit. This book records, for the first time, Master Yap’s CFQ or “radiant Goldbody energy meditation” healing system.

A course of 16 lessons. When conscious mind interferes with free expression of spirit, in and through the body, then the body suffers all the ills due to being shut off from the full energy of spirit.

There is a bold line between what lives on each side of belief in ourselves and lack thereof. Between cowering and having courage, between facing our fears and living in them, our hearts and our minds hold power in our lives, and too many of us are blind to it. One decision can shift timelines, and all of us can do it. Whether we're suffering from addiction, ADHD, depression, or anxiety, we can free ourselves. An open-minded girl, living a childhood filled with curiosity and knowing there's more, transitioned to an adult on her knees, hitting a cold jail cell floor. Coming face-to-face with her own worst enemy, she wondered, How could this have happened to me? From near-death experiences and losing everything to addiction, to choosing recovery and redirection--living a life beyond anything imagined, tuning into the power of prayer and intention, God, and our own intuition, we can accomplish anything we can envision, and then some. We must believe to achieve, and a choice needs to be made. A heart filled with faith and dedication will raise you from the ashes to your divine destination. When we shift our inner world, it reflects outward. It takes one step, one choice, one decision to activate the journey of a lifetime, anytime. The power is already within you.

This is a book about water, about our bodies in water and how, floating and stretching one another to our shared breathing pattern, we achieve new levels of peace and oneness. Many consider Watsu the most significant advance in bodywork in our times. While other forms are based on touch, Watsu creates a more profound connection through the holding and the deep connection with the breath that being in water facilitates. The trust established combines with the relaxing effects of warm water and Watsu's moves and stretches to create a modality of extraordinary depth that has both specific therapeutic results and healing on many levels. Besides having countless applications in therapy, it brings new depths of 'connection' into the lives of the many sharing its simpler moves with family and friends. This third edition completes the first 25-year evolution of what came into being when Harold Dull started floating people at Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California, applying the stretches of the Zen Shiatsu he had studied in Japan. It illustrates, step by step, the major positions and forms of Watsu. It introduces Watsuchanics (the body mechanics of Watsu) and other developments that help students learn Watsu. More than sixteen therapists and practitioners have added contributions detailing the use of Watsu with all ages and the growing number of conditions that Watsu is proving to alleviate in clinics and spas around the world. New chapters feature Watsu with children and a form of Watsu that can be used in home spa/hot tubs. Also illustrated step by step is a complete form of Tantsu which brings Watsu's nurturing power back onto land. More than a thousand images have gone into this book to give as clear an illustration as possible of the movements and forms of Watsu and Tantsu.
