MOLECULES OF EMOTION
By Candace B. Pert
$25.00

This book discusses how our thoughts and emotions affect our health, and how the author feels they function together as parts of an interconnected system. Pert, a neuroscientist whose career began with her 1972 discovery of the opiate receptor, provides startling answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.

Her research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form an information network, linking mind and body, is provocative and revolutionary. Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies.

This book is full of insight and wisdom and possesses that rare power to change the way we see the world and ourselves, enabling us to understand the power of our minds and our feelings which affect our health and well-being.


HEALING ANGER
By Dalai Lama
$12.95

Tenzin Gyatso, recognized as the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, has served as head of the Tibetan Government-in-exile in Dharamsala, India, since the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959, again writes of the power of patience from a Buddhist perspective. All the world’s major religions emphasize the importance of the practice of love, compassion and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions which state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice.

In this book the Dalai Lama shows how, through the practice of patience and tolerance, we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. This discussion is based on "a guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life," for those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings. Through these teachings and by his own example, he shows the power that patience and tolerance have to heal anger and to generate peace in the world.

Redfield guides us through the strategies that help us recognize and explore our vision of our lives. For everyone who read the Celestine Prophecy and the Tenth Insight, he further expands our consciousness about the coming changes in this historical moment.


THE WAYS OF THE MYSTIC - The Seven Paths to God.
By Joan Borysenko - Book and Audio cassette

The Ways of the Mystic explores the mysteries of life and delves into the "rainbow bridge" as Joan describes the seven paths to God. She tells you how a mystical moment can strike at any time— anytime when you are fully present in the moment, when looking at a beautiful moon, a sunset, walking in nature, or looking into the eyes of a child. When you are fully present to the moment, you will be filled with a sense of awe, a sense of beauty, and harmony, and feel fully connected with it. You don’t have to go to Nepal or go climb a mountain to a have a mystical moment, but you must learn how to be fully present to your everyday life. Mystical moments can be found in the mundane, the ordinary, and in the extraordinary.
