Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body: You Can Be Your Own Cure
by Brandy GillmoreAMAZON #1 BESTSELLERA captivating must-read, this book unveils the astounding hidden potential of the human mind. If you are interested in alternative healing, or if you have been struggling for years with your own recovery, then you will not want to miss this book.Brandy Gillmore reveals the groundbreaking research that enabled her to heal herself from a debilitating condition deemed incurable. Since then, Brandy has been able to show others how to heal themselves from a wide range of pain and illnesses and has also demonstrated mind-body healing using medical equipment. Due to unprecedented results, Brandy's work has been featured in several documentaries and docuseries. Now, for the first time, Brandy shares her research through this remarkable book so that you too can unlock the boundless potential of your own mind.In Part One, this book takes you on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Starting Brandy's accident and the disheartening news from her doctors that there was nothing anyone could do for her, it moves onto Brandy's desperate quest to find a cure, and all evidence continued to point to the mind as holding the ability to activate the body's innate self-healing mechanism. However, despite the evidence, Brandy was still skeptical. She had already tried practices like "mind over matter" meditation, and the power of belief, but none of them worked to heal her body. Furthermore, given the severity of Brandy's condition, it seemed impossible to her that her mind could heal her physical body.As Brandy delved further into medical research, she was astonished by her findings. Not only did she uncover concealed studies that vividly illustrated the mind's potential to impact on our physical body, but she also discovered scientifically documented information about the body's energy that challenged her preconceived notions about health.For example: - Did you know that people with multiple personalities can experience different illnesses in different personalities? For example, one personality may have back pain, while another may have asthma. Medical research has even documented a case of a woman who was blind in certain personalities but had normal vision in others.- Did you know that "energy" in the body is not a spiritual concept but has actually been medically documented? In fact, the medical scientist who first documented energy in the body (biophotons) in the 1920s was nominated for a Nobel Prize eleven times!As Brandy continued to explore each medical anomaly, from the placebo effect to spontaneous remission and everything in between, she was able to uncover even more obscure research and gain clarity as to what she needed to do to activate her body's self-healing mechanisms. That's when she began creating a step-by-step process. Over the years, this process has further evolved. Brandy now calls it the "GIFT method" because, as the name suggests, when we connect with our own innate ability to heal ourselves, it truly becomes a life-changing gift.In Part Two, Brandy shares this incredible step-by-step method, along with inspiring stories of individuals who have used this process of mind-body-energy healing to transform their lives and achieve self-healing. It is truly incredible what we are all capable of.

Mastering Stocks and Broths: A Comprehensive Culinary Approach Using Traditional Techniques and No-Waste Methods
by Adam Danforth Rachael MamaneStocks and broths are the foundation of good cooking, yet information on their use is often relegated to the introductions or appendices of cookbooks. Until now there has not been a comprehensive culinary guide to stocks in the canon, save for snippets here and there. Hard to believe, since most passionate home cooks and professional chefs know that using stocks and broths—both on their own and as the base for a recipe—can turn a moderately flavorful dish into a masterpiece. Mastering Stocks and Broths is the comprehensive guide to culinary stocks and broths that passionate home cooks and innovative chefs have all been waiting for. Rachael Mamane, a self-taught cook and owner of small-scale broth company Brooklyn Bouillon, is reminiscent of M. F. K. Fisher, Patience Gray, and Julia Child. She takes us on a culinary journey into the science behind fundamental stocks and the truth about well-crafted bone broths, and offers over 100 complex and unique recipes incorporating stocks as foundational ingredients. Mastering Stocks and Broths includes a historical culinary narrative about stocks in the classic French technique as well as through the lens of other cultures around the world. Readers will learn about the importance of quality sourcing, the practical and health benefits of stocks and broths, and detailed methodology on how to develop, store, and use them in a home kitchen. The recipes place a playful emphasis on the value of zero waste, turning spent bones, produce seconds, and leftover animal fats into practical products to use around the home. Readers will turn to this book when they find themselves wondering what to do with the carcass of a store-bought roast chicken and they want to learn how to make every inch of their vegetables go further. Perhaps most important to remember: a good stock takes time. This is part of the pleasure—making stocks is meditative and meaningful, if you allow yourself the occasion. Building a stock often happens in the background of most kitchens—a smell that permeates a residence, a gentle warmth that radiates from the kitchen. Readers will be inspired by Mamane’s approach to truly slow cookery and her effervescent love for food itself.

Masters of the Living Energy: The Mystical World of the Q'ero of Peru
by Joan Parisi WilcoxAn intimate glimpse into the world of ancient Peruvian spiritual practice and cosmology• Reveals the mysteries of the world of living energy (kawsay pacha) through intensive in-depth interviews with six Q’ero mystics• Explores the energetics, spirits, tools, and practices of Andean mysticism--the real story behind the fictionalized accounts in The Celestine Prophecy Known as the “keepers of the ancient knowledge,” the Q’ero Indians of Peru are the most respected mystics of the south-central Andes. In 1996 Joan Parisi Wilcox traveled to the Andes and was able to record the mysteries of kawsay pacha, the multidimensional world of living energy, through more than 40 hours of intensive interviews with six Q’ero paqos, masters of the ancient spiritual traditions of Peru. The Q’ero are known for having preserved the Inca spiritual tradition more purely than any other indigenous population in the Andes. The in-depth interviews presented in this book recount the direct words of these masters so readers can discover for themselves the mind and heart space of these people. Four new chapters of this revised edition focus on the work of the mesa, the Andean form of a spiritual medicine bundle, and its use as a conduit for the healing energies of nature. The mesa is called the “heart’s fire” because it represents the finest energy--the energy of compassion--that a paqo cultivates while walking the sacred path. Wilcox provides instructions on how to make, activate, and work with a mesa, as well as other practical exercises showing how we can use the power of the Andean spiritual tradition in our own lives.
Masters of Wisdom
by Edward AbdillA rigorous historical and philosophical examination of the controversial spiritual Masters who guided Madame H.P. Blavatsky in opening the world to Eastern and esoteric spirituality in the late nineteenth century. In the late nineteenth century, Russian noblewoman and occult philosopher Madame H.P. Blavatsky enthralled the world with revelations of an ancient "secret doctrine" behind the major faiths and a cosmic theology that united the insights of religion and science. Blavatsky said she was operating under the guidance of hidden Masters of wisdom, or mahatmas, who led her to reveal forgotten wisdom to modern people. The mythos of Blavatsky's Masters left a deep mark on Western culture and spawned more than a century of debate: Were the Masters real? What did they teach? Are they reachable today? Now, independent scholar of religion Edward Abdill provides an authoritative, historically reliable, and delightfully readable study of the background and ideas of the Masters - in particular highlighting their message and its enduring relevance.

Match Analysis: How to Use Data in Professional Sport
by Daniel MemmertMatch analysis is a performance-diagnostic procedure, which can be used to carry out systematic gaming analysis during competition and training. The analysis of team and racket sports, whether in competition, for opponent preparation (match plan), follow-up, or training is nowadays indispensable in many sports games at different levels. This analysis nevertheless presents many open questions and problem areas: Which data should be used? Who manages the data? Who provides whom with which information? How is this information presented, digested, and applied? The more complex and anonymous the data management is, the more commercial, expensive, and uncontrollable information management and provision becomes. Match Analysis: How to Use Data in Professional Sport is the first book to examine this topic through three types of data sets; video, event, and position data and show how to interpret this data and apply the findings for better team and individual sport performance. This innovative new volume is key reading for researchers, students, and practitioners alike in the fields of Coaching, Performance Analysis, Sport Management, and related specific sport disciplines.
