Il padre di Megan si ammala: Una guida spirituale, una tigre fantasma e una mamma spaventosa! (La serie della sensitiva Megan #10)
by Owen JonesIl padre di Megan si ammala Una guida spirituale, una tigre fantasma e una mamma spaventosa! Megan è una giovane adolescente di tredici anni che si rende conto di avere poteri psichici che nessun altro possiede. In un primo momento aveva cercato di parlarne con sua madre, ma, viste le conseguenze disastrose, aveva imparato a tenere la cosa per sé. Tuttavia, ci sono alcune persone che si offrono di aiutarla e un animale che si mostra particolarmente amichevole nei suoi confronti, anche se non si tratta di esseri ‘vivi’ nel tradizionale senso della parola, ma di esseri passati a miglior vita. Megan ha tre amici di questo tipo: Wacinhinsha, la sua guida spirituale (che era stato Sioux nella sua ultima vita terrena), il nonno materno, Nonnino, e un’enorme tigre siberiana di nome Grrr. Wacinhinsha è un grande esperto nell’ambito dello spirituale, dello psichico e del paranormale; suo nonno è una ‘persona morta’ in erba e Grrr, come c’è da aspettarsi, parla solo il tigrese (che naturalmente, per gli esseri umani, è per lo più incomprensibile). Nel racconto intitolato ‘Il padre di Megan si ammala’, Megan è preoccupata per la salute di suo padre perché non lo aveva mai visto ammalato prima, per cui decide di provare ad usare i suoi poteri psichici per curarlo. Alla fine, per trovare modi per aiutarlo a guarire, usa una combinazione dei suoi doni e di ricerche su internet e Wacinhinsha le insegna qualcosa sulla medicina e sulle sue applicazioni, soprattutto dal punto di vista spiritualista.

Ilahinoor
by Kiara WindriderThe closer we come to the time of planetary awakening, the stronger are the cosmic energies becoming available to us for personal transformation, physical healing, and divine manifestation. The source energy known as Ilahinoor - Turkish for "divine light" - can prepare us for the next evolutionary wave and manifest the "divine human" that slumbers within. More than a set of techniques, Ilahinoor describes a morphogenetic field of unlimited possibilities sourced within the waves of cosmic light moving toward us from the galactic center, leading to what is known as the "supramental descent" of spirit into matter - also referred to as "ascension." A healing manual that anyone can easily follow, Ilahinoor highlights the history, development, and practical applications of this amazing healing work, and shares stories and experiences from people all over the world.Ilahinoor provides readers with unique step-by-step healing practices allowing for a merging of the higher mind with multidimensional consciousness. It can lead to the experience of physical and emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and, ultimately, to a new planetary creation.

Illicit Medicines in the Global South: Public Health Access and Pharmaceutical Regulation (Routledge Global Health Series)
by Mathieu QuetThis book investigates pharmaceutical regulation and the public health issue of fake or illicit medicines in developing countries. The book analyses the evolution of pharmaceutical capitalism, showing how the entanglement of market and health interests has come to shape global regulation. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in India, Kenya and Europe, it demonstrates how large pharmaceutical companies have used the fight against fake medicines to serve their strategic interests and protect their monopolies, sometimes to the detriment of access to medicines in developing countries. The book investigates how the contemporary dynamics of pharmaceutical power in global markets have gone on to shape societies locally, resulting in more security-oriented policies. These processes highlight the key consequences of contemporary "logistical regimes" for access to health. Providing important insights on how the flows of commodities, persons, and knowledge shape contemporary access to medicines in the developing countries, this book will be of considerable interest to policy makers and regulators, and to scholars and students across sociology, science and technology studies, global health, and development studies.

Illness As Metaphor, and AIDS and Its Metaphors
by Susan SontagIn l978 Susan Sontag wrote Illness as Metaphor, a classic work described by Newsweek as "one of the most liberating books of its time." A cancer patient herself when she was writing the book, Sontag shows how the metaphors and myths surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering of the patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, Sontag shows cancer for what it is - just a disease. Cancer, she argues, is not a curse, not a punishment, certainly not an embarrassment, and highly curable, if good treatment is found early enough. Almost a decade later, with the outbreak of a new, stigmatized disease replete with mystifications and punitive metaphors, Sontag wrote a sequel to Illness as Metaphor, extending the argument of the earlier book to the AIDS pandemic. These two essays, published together as Illness as Metaphor and Aids and Its Metaphors, have been translated in many languages all over the world, and continue to have enormous impact and influence on the thinking of medical professionals and, above all, on the lives of many thousands of patients and caregivers.
Illness, Identity, and Taboo among Australian Paleo Dieters
by Catie GressierThis book explores the cultural and economic conditions fuelling the popularity of the polarizing Paleo diet in Australia. Based on ethnographic research in Melbourne and Sydney, Catie Gressier recounts the compelling narratives of individuals struggling with illness and weight issues. She argues that 'going Paleo' provides a sense of agency and means of resistance to the neoliberal policies and practices underpinning the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases. From its nostalgic constructions of the past, to the rise of anti-elite sentiments inherent in new forms of health populism, Gressier provides a nuanced understanding of the Paleo diet's contemporary appeal.
Illness: The Cry of the Flesh
by Havi CarelIn this remarkable and thought-provoking book, Havi Carel explores these questions by weaving together the personal story of her own serious illness with insights and reflections drawn from her work as a philosopher. Carel's fresh approach to illness raises some uncomfortable questions about how we all - whether healthcare professionals or not - view the ill and challenges us to become more thoughtful. 'Illness' unravels the tension between the universality of illness and its intensely private, often lonely, nature. It offers a new way of looking at a matter that affects every one of us.
Illuminated Breath
by Dylan WernerFrom our first breath to our last, we spend our entire lives in a perpetual cycle of inhalations and exhalations. Yet few of us are taught how to breathe, why we breathe, or the ways in which the breath influences us emotionally, energetically, physically, and spiritually. The Illuminated Breath is a revolutionary manual on unlocking the power of the breath. With humor, clarity, and an appreciation for the art of storytelling, revered yoga practitioner Dylan Werner delves into the rich histories of breathing techniques and breath work, while validating these practices with a strong lean toward physiology and science. Using enlightening, practical examples from everyday life, Werner explains how energy flows through the body and how the breath can be used to regulate and control that flow. He walks readers through pranayama, the ancient yogic practice of breath control, and explains the four components of the breath cycle. He then introduces pranayama practices, which can be used on their own or combined into sequences to achieve specific goals. The final part of this book leads readers through a series of targeted breath sequences that are designed to boost athletic performance and recovery, improve sleep, enhance cognitive function, relieve anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and more. Each sequence is customizable and can be modified or used in combination with other sequences to create a personalized breath plan. Embark on a life-changing journey as you learn how to breathe optimally and bring balance to your life, one inhalation and exhalation at a time.
Illuminating Our True Nature: Yogic Practices for Personal and Collective Healing
by Michelle Cassandra JohnsonDissolve hurtful patterns and emotional hardship through the five yogic points of suffering, or kleshas.Includes powerful and practical meditations, mantras, asanas, reflection questions, and more, to reduce our suffering—and the suffering of others.We all get stuck in hurtful patterns that continue to create more suffering in our lives. In yoga philosophy, these patterns are known as the five kleshas. In this wise, practical guide, Michelle Cassandra Johnson offers us a path toward developing a deeper understanding of them and how they hijack us emotionally.The five kleshas are: ignorance (avidya); overidentification with ego (asmita); attachment to desire or pleasure (raga); aversion or avoidance (dvesha); and fear of death or letting go (abhinivesha). Each one leads us to create tendencies and karma that move us away from realizing and remembering our true nature and seeing ourselves as separate from one another and the planet. In yogic terms, this perpetuates a constant cycle of pain for us all.Readers will learn to: • deepen their connection with self and others; • look at their relationship and attachment to pleasure and aversion to discomfort; • notice more fully how their actions affect others; • meet each moment as it arises and ride the waves of life as they come; • and much moreJohnson offers us a way to find a sense of clarity, groundedness, and equanimity within ourselves by working through the kleshas one-by-one using asana, pranayama, mudra, mantra, reflection questions, and meditation.
Illumination: A Guide to the Buddhist Method of No-Method
by Rebecca LiA modern guide to the transformative practice of silent illumination from Chan Buddhist teacher Rebecca Li.Silent illumination, a way of penetrating the mind through curious inquiry, is an especially potent, accessible, and portable meditation practice perfectly suited for a time when there is so much fear, upheaval, and sorrow in our world. It is a method of reconnecting with our true nature, which encompasses all that exists and where suffering cannot touch us.The practice of silent illumination is simple, allowing each moment to be experienced as it is in order to manifest our innate wisdom and natural capacity for compassion. It can be integrated into all aspects of daily life and is meaningful for secular and Buddhist audiences, new and seasoned meditators alike. After guiding readers through the history and practice of silent illumination, Rebecca Li shows us how we can recognize and unlearn our &“modes of operation&”—habits of mind that get in the way of being fully present and engaged with life. Cultivating clarity on the empty nature of these habits offers us a way to unlearn and free ourselves from unhelpful modes such as harshness to self, perfectionism, quietism, striving for spiritual attainment, and more.Illumination offers stories and real-life examples, references to classic Buddhist texts, and insights from Chan Master Sheng Yen to guide readers as they practice silent illumination not just on their cushions, but throughout their lives.
Illuminations of Hildegard of Bingen
by Matthew FoxAn introduction to the life and work of Hildegard. • Reveals the life and teachings of one of the greatest female artists and intellectuals of the Western Mystical Tradition. • Contains 24 full-color illustrations by Hildegard of Bingen. • Includes commentary by Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing (250,000 sold). Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was an extraordinary woman living in the Rhineland valley during most of the twelfth century. Besides being the abbess of a large and influential Benedictine abbey, she was a prominent preacher, healer, scientist, and artist. She also was a composer and theologian, writing nine books on theology, medicine, science, and physiology, as well as 70 poems and an opera. At the age of 42, she began to have visions; these were captured as 36 illuminations--24 of which are recorded in this book along with her commentaries on them. She also wrote a text describing these visions entitled Scivias (Know the Ways), now published as Hildegard of Bingen's Mystical Visions. Author Matthew Fox has stated, "If Hildegard had been a man, she would be well known as one of the greatest artists and intellectuals the world has ever seen." It is a credit to the power of the women's movement and our times that this towering genius of Western thought is being rediscovered in her full grandeur and autonomy. Virtually unknown for more than 800 years in Western history, Hildegard was featured as one of the women in Judy Chicago's Dinner Party in the early 1980s and published for the first time in English by Bear & Company in 1982. In addition to her mystical teachings, Hildegard's music has been performed and recorded for a new and growing audience.

Illustrated Handbook Of The Bach Flower Remedies
by P M ChancellorDiscovered by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s, the thirty-eight Bach Flower Remedies form a system of healing for the negative emotions and attitudes that may interfere with health and happiness. This book provides an in-depth and detailed description of each remedy, together with case histories relating to each one to help the reader appreciate how they may be put into practice.

Jed McKenna es un maestro, e iluminado espiritual en el tema.

Whitman, Melville, Thoreau, Mark Twain y U.G. Krishnamurti todos aparecen, y un alumno del primer libro regresa a compartir sus diarios de Autoanálisis Espiritual. También son sorprendentes los esfuerzos amables del autor para guiar al lector desde la iluminación hacia un estado más deseable y accesible. Fracasas al buscarme al principio, mantente valiente, No me encuentras en un lugar, busca en otro, Estoy en algún lugar detenido, esperando por ti -Walt Whitman- Los libros de Jed Mc Kenna no son para todos. Son para las personas que están cansadas de la calesita espiritual y están preparadas para confrontar la cruda realidad con el proceso de concientización. Si te gustan los maestros con todo ese tipo de guarniciones y adornos, Jed no es indicado para ti, pero cuando estés listo para bajarte del carrusel y comenzar tu viaje, Jed McKenna es el tipo indicado para ver – allí, esperando por ti.
