Author Sandy Newbigging explains that The Mind Detox Method is a technique for identifying past emotional events that may have created current health issues or personal stumbling blocks to success. He describes how he has used the Mind Detox Method with hundreds of clients seeing chronic pain disappear, skin conditions clear up, digestion problems resolve as well as other substantial results. Easy to follow, the book divides into three parts: The Healing Mindset, Discover the Hidden Cause and Heal the Hidden Cause. Convincingly written with real life examples, useful illustrations and step-by-step tools, Newbigging demonstrates the power of the mind, including the minds ability to heal the body. Significantly, he reveals twenty of the top unhealthy beliefs that contaminate the mind and lay behind a myriad issues. While you may think “detox” is only for drug addicts, Newbigging shows that using his 5 simple steps, readers can identify and alter those beliefs and literally cleanse the mind, release emotional baggage and clear a path to their goals. Heal the Hidden Cause is also useful to practitioners who want to support a deeper healing journey in their clients.
What if the way out of global political unrest and ecological collapse lies not only in technological innovation but also in recovering ancient wisdom? Author Louis G. Herman argues that for us to create a sustainable, fulfilling future, we need to first look back into our deepest past to recover our core humanity. Important clues for recovery can be found in the lives of traditional San Bushmen huntergatherers of South Africa. The San are one of the closest living relatives to that ancestral African population from which all humans descended. Their culture can give us profound insight into what life might have been like for nine tenths of human existence when we lived without warfare, walled cities, or slavery. Herman doesn’t suggest that we go back to this way of life, but that we draw from the experience of earthbased cultures, weave their wisdom together with the evolutionary story of modern science, to contribute to something radically new – an emerging, earth-centered, planetary politics. Primal societies immersed in a mystical experience of natural reality developed spiritually oriented, democratic politics that fostered the development of each individual human being in rich and loving relationship to the natural and human cosmos – which is in direct contrast to our ruling political worldview. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, cultures, and historical periods, Future Primal will become a cornerstone for an emerging vision of a sustainable future.
The Universe-ity is a new curriculum on life. This guidebook challenges the widely conceived notion that in order to be successful, we must have a standard education. Michael Samuels knows what it’s like to conform to society’s standards and complete over two decades worth of schooling. But with two bachelors’ degrees and a master’s degree, the author can’t help but wonder if education helps us live a happy, successful life. In The Universe-ity, Samuels examines whether or not years of formal education actually teach society how to become successful. The author, who has created his own successful business, explains how you do not have to have years of education to live a prosperous, fulfilling life. The author says his “curriculum” teaches you about you, adding, “this is a new education system to learn to live a better, more thriving life.” Samuels believes the ideas, beliefs and strategies discussed in this book will help everyone, from business people wanting to improve their careers, to mothers looking to reinvent themselves, to high school students confused about what to do after graduation. The Universe-ity is a stunning new concept in education. Class is officially in session.
