Newly updated to showcase color photographs, this spiritual classic presents the history and philosophy of Scotland's Findhorn Community. Findhorn was founded more than 40 years ago in far northeast Scotland on windswept and barren sand dunes that happened to sprout a miraculous garden. Plants, flowers, trees, and organic vegetables of enormous sizes began to grow in a small plot around the 30-foot caravan trailer inhabited by three adults and three children living on meager unemployment benefits. Guidance by God and absolute faith in the art of manifestation led the occupants to this unlikely locale to create a magnetic center that would draw people from all over the world. Their discovery of how to contact and cooperate with the nature spirits and devas that made the garden possible sparked a phenomenon that continues today, as Findhorn has grown into a thriving village housing hundreds of people from all over the world and an internationally recognized spiritual-learning center.

HEALTH / NUTRITION "Detoxification is the missing link in Western nutrition. So many people and so many health conditions can benefit from the approach found in Dr. Vasey's The Detox Mono Diet." --Elson M. Haas, M.D., The Detox Doc, author of The New Detox Diet and Staying Healthy with Nutrition The grape cure, the lemon cure, the maple syrup cure, and the apple diet are all variations of mono diets that are based on restricting food intake to one food for a period of time. Using the famous Grape Cure pioneered by Johanna Brandt as his model, Christopher Vasey demonstrates why these restricted diets are so effective in healing illness and restoring optimum health. Despite the different nutritive qualities of the chosen food, all these diets work the same way: They help the body "burn" the waste products it contains to cleanse the internal cellular environment. They also keep the body's eliminatory organs open in order to prevent the buildup of toxins. While these cures are responsible for healing people of many serious illnesses, including cancer, their principal use lies in the way they naturally enhance the body's health by eliminating waste products and preventing the body from absorbing toxins during this process. The Detox Mono Diet is a practical guide that provides all the information necessary for following a detoxification regimen. To make the application most successful, the author explains how to interpret your body's reactions in a way that will allow you to adapt the cure to match your specific physiological needs, making your return to optimum health a unique journey. Christopher Vasey, N.D., is a naturopath specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation. He is the author of The Water Prescription and the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health. He lives near Montreux, Switzerland.

A guide to observation of the inner self through the ancient Indian game of Leela • Comes complete with foldout game board and commentary for the 72 spaces • Mirrors the path of obstacles and insights one encounters in self-development • Repeated play offers lessons in self-understanding Chutes and Ladders, the popular children’s game, is derived from the ancient Hindu game Leela, or Snakes and Arrows, which charts the ups and downs of the soul’s path toward reunion with the Infinite. Snakes and Arrows was designed by the seers and saints of India as a tool for understanding the relationship of the individual self to the Absolute Self. For thousands of years the 72 spaces on this game board have enabled players to chart the paths that represent the course of their lives. Each space represents a virtue or a vice, an aspect of consciousness, or a plane of reality and is accompanied by a commentary explaining its meaning. The player’s progress on the board is dictated by the fall of a die corresponding to the forces of karma. Repeated encounters with the snakes and arrows on the board reveal the full meaning of the commentaries and can give shape to habitual patterns of the player, resulting in greater self-understanding and even a gradual detachment from the ego’s delusions. The Yoga of Snakes and Arrows assists the seeker through the stages and trials of self-development, mirroring both the obstacles of karma and the rewards of self-obtained insight. There is really only one game in life and that is Leela, the game of self-knowledge and the universal play of cosmic energies.

HEALTH / ARTHRITIS "This book contains a wealth of practical information that can bring dramatic improvement to those suffering from arthritis. Raquel Martin emphasizes that when a multidisciplinary approach that draws upon natural therapies is used, arthritis sufferers are able to diminish--and often arrive at a cure for--their suffering." --John Hart, M.D. "I enthusiastically recommend this book, not only for people with arthritis, but for anyone who wishes to explore new ways to achieve optimum health. I also recommend it to my colleagues who would like to learn more about nutrition, phytonutrients, and alternative or complementary medicine." --Ralph C. Lee, M.D. "Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen Alternative, it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. . . . Well, she's done it again. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information, and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all." --David Getoff, N.D., Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist Each year thousands of people struggling with the debilitating effects of arthritis hear their doctors say that they will just have to learn to live with the pain. After experiencing this firsthand, Raquel Martin was determined to find a better way. Together with Dr. Karen Romano, Martin developed a comprehensive self-help program designed to prevent and reverse degenerative inflammatory disease without drugs and their unwelcome or dangerous side effects. The authors show readers how to address the causes rather than merely medicate the symptoms of arthritis by implementing holistic lifestyle changes--from using medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, and natural hormone therapy to employing whole foods, exercise, and chiropractic care. Thoroughly researched and clearly presented, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally guides readers through the labyrinth of recent medical studies related to the effects and treatment of this disease. In addition, it discusses the exclusion of alternative therapies from most insurance coverage and provides advice on the action consumers can take to address this. Part practical medical resource, part encouraging guide, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally will inspire all readers to take charge of all aspects of their health. RAQUEL MARTIN, who lives in Georgia with her husband, is the author of The Estrogen Alternative and Today's Health Alternative. KAREN J. ROMANO, R.N., D.C., also a resident of Georgia, is a chiropractor in private practice and has taught nutrition at Life University in Marietta.

SHAMANISM / INDIGENOUS CULTURES "Ross Heaven is a loyal initiate son who communicates the Vodou tradition faithfully." --Bon Mambo Racine, Priestess of Haitian Vodou "Ross Heaven does for Vodou what Castaneda did for shamanism." --Prediction magazine Written by an initiate of Haitian Vodou, this book goes beyond the stereotypes and misunderstandings to reveal Vodou as one of the most powerful shamanic traditions. The author explains why these ancient healing practices are important for the modern world and how secret Vodou techniques can be used by anyone as safe and effective means of spiritual healing and personal development. Providing practical hands-on exercises drawn from all aspects and stages of the Vodou tradition, Vodou Shaman shows readers how to contact the spirit world and communicate with the loa (the angel-like inhabitants of the Other World), the gede (the spirits of the ancestors), and djabs (Nature spirits) for healing purposes. The author examines soul journeying and warrior-path work in the Vodou tradition and looks at the psychological principles that make them effective. The book also offers exercises in specific spiritual healing techniques, including the use of herbs and magical baths, ways to read and rebalance the energy body, removal of spirit intrusions and unhealthy energies, restoration of Ashe (spiritual Power), and preparation for the advanced technique of soul retrieval. ROSS HEAVEN is a shamanic teacher and Vodou Houngan. He served for many years as an apprentice in this tradition, including spending the requisite time in solitary vigil and performing the full sequence of rituals necessary to complete his initiation into the Vodou priesthood.
