Sit with me quietly, Seeker, and we shall speak together of The Alien and his craft. Let us gossip of Government and Corporation, of the oxymoronic "intelligence agent" and "secret society" all those that greedily and unashamedly battle amongst themselves for dominance of an emerging new reality in which up is also down, sideways is straight, hovering is sinking and, flying is thinking. A new reality where, all and everything operates not only with, but, at the speed of, ...thought. It's long overdue, that we begin to challenge one another to think, differently. Are you satisfied with "un-identified"? Tired, of awaiting a dying empire to reveal a truth that has been before your animal eyes from the very beginning? Perhaps a simple conversation between us, Seeker, can show you once and for all where the alien truly hails from and why. No more voice messages stored away for later, but an actual conversation about our own story. Let us speak of who and what we are, that we might subsequently discover the story of The Alien. It is a big story, as the story of Man and Alien should be. It is complicated, as Man and Alien are. It is shocking, as both Man and Alien have been. It is embarrassing and confusing to the intellect, when considered sincerely. If only you'd pick up the damn phone.

A Blessing in My Womb is a powerful and joyful read that's written for all the beautiful women who are carrying purpose in their womb. I wrote this book so that mothers could bond with their unborn child while carrying them in the womb by speaking God's Word to them. Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Jeremiah 1:5 says, Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." God also had a relationship with Jeremiah before He formed him in the womb. So go ahead get a head start and start communicating with your child before he or she is blessed with your presence. Fathers can communicate too. This book is a keeper for generations to come, all the way to third and fourth generation. It's a great book for...Baby ShowersBirthdaysWeddingsAnniversariesChristmasExpecting Parents

20 years ago, Sarit and Neetika first truly bonded over our appreciation for words. As children, we were obviously writing simplistic poems that rhymed. But the seeds of finding our voices as paper meets pen were sown early. Over the years, Sarit has ushered Neetika into appreciating nuances of Sufi Poetry, while Neetika believe she was the one who encouraged him to finally start a blog. Words are also the reason our tumultuous courtship found closure in marriage. Because what we could not admit in person, was often easier to convey in prose and poetry. Our homes across the world have been strewn with little notes of affection and apologies that were never verbalized. But this curation of poems is more than the sum of our relationship. This book exists as a record-keeping device of our separate and collective memories as we take a breath in our on-going journey as individuals and partners. Our words are now yours.

"The unconventional, or rather integrative, medicine becomes the spokesperson for change, understood as the possibility of modifying lifestyles and ways of life, until then considered impossible." Homeopathic medicine considered as divine word and the body as a miracle are representative of a totality, the organism, which is often able to trigger a self-healing mechanism. Homeopathic remedies act in a mechanism of action, designed to restore the functionality of the deficient organ, within its natural limits. Homeopathy enables the renovation of freedom as a concept of health (health from Sanskrit sarvas: whole, entire, complete) by expanding the consciousness of those who approach unconventional medicine. Stefania Campanelli (1974), after her degree in Law, graduated from the School of Naturopathy of the RIZA Institute of Psychosomatic Medicine. She continued her studies focusing on Floritherapy, Aromatherapy, Enneagram, Imaginary Relaxation and Conscious Movement Techniques - non-verbal language communication (Training School of the Hobart Method(R) - Rimini, Italy). She is a Reiki Master and founder of "Therapeia - Integrative Health and Welleness Professionals". Therapeia's main goal is to accept the Person who does not represent the disease but the possibility despite everything; in an holistic view that embraces the human being as a body-mind-spirit entirety. Therapeia's professionals work together to ensure personalised and integrated cures and therapies so that the Person does not get lost in their therapeutic journey.
