"Spirit Heals" is a wide-ranging manifesto on how women heal and how they can incorporate aspects of spirit, emotion, mind, and body in their healing journey. Author Meredith Young-Sowers explores a wide range of resources, external and internal: doctors, nutrition, chemo, radiation, massage, acupuncture, surgery, energy work, meditation, visualization. She explains how focused participation to rekindle kindness and passion can occur simultaneously with any other treatment to enhance healing. She introduces the concepts of "spiritual DNA" and "spiritual genes" that let readers see they are not "destined" to be sick and can be proactive in achieving health. Particular sections include "Ask Yourself," which helps readers reform their thoughts; "Attitude Shifts," which contains affirmations and reminders of the healing thoughts and actions; and "Activities," which guides readers step by step through changes. Based in part on her extensive workshop teachings, "Spirit Heals" is an informed, loving reminder that good health is something every woman should -- and can -- have.

After experiencing her own crisis of faith, Sage Bennet developed an eclectic spiritual life, borrowing rituals from many religions and traditions. In "Wisdom Walk" she outlines some of the most powerful of those practices, making them accessible to contemporary readers without diminishing or disrespecting their subtle nuances. Drawing from Hinduism, she explains how to create a home altar as a reminder of a larger spiritual presence. She explores how Buddhist meditation helps one find peace. From Islam comes surrendering to prayer, and from Christianity the practice of forgiveness. There's even Native American spirituality in the form of a chapter on letting nature be one's teacher. A final, summarizing chapter, brings together all the traditions, demonstrates their fundamental unity, and discusses the importance of offering oneself in service to others. "Wisdom Walk" provides a simple, easy-to-follow guide for bringing the world's spiritual traditions into one's life through practical, powerful rituals.

"Life Ahead" presents lessons that move far beyond the traditional forms of education taught in most schools and colleges. Drawn from transcripts of talks given to Indian students, the book covers a wide range of universal topics. In short, accessible chapters, Krishnamurti explores the danger of competition, the value of solitude, the need to understand both the conscious and the unconscious mind, and the critical difference between concentration and attention, and between knowledge and learning. Krishnamurti exposes the roots of fear and eradicates deeply entrenched habits of tradition, limitation, and prejudice. The life he holds forth requires a complete change of thought, even a revolution, one that begins "not with theory and ideation," he writes, "but with a radical transformation in the mind itself." He explains how such transformation occurs only through an education that concentrates on the total development of the human being, an education carefully described in this simple yet powerful book.

In this eloquent work, self-exploration pioneer Christina Baldwin leads readers of all spiritual persuasions to listen intentionally to the voice within their soul: the voice of spirit. She does this by sharing seven meditative phrases -- the wisdom gained from listening to her own inner spirit. Each chapter is built around one of these core phrases, and examples include "Maintain peace of mind," "Surrender to surprises," and "Ask for what I need and offer what I can." After years of bringing spirituality to others through circle meetings, seminars, and journal writing, Baldwin offers her insight to a wider audience with this compelling and accessible book.
