Edward Bach's discovery of the vibrational healing properties derived from the quintessence of particular plants - the famous Bach Flower Remedies - is now the basis for one of the best-known alternative medicine systems in the world. Gaye Mack now shows that Dr Bach's system of healing is wider ranging than has been demonstrated. Dr Bach was a true mystic and healer, and his system is one that profoundly and psychologically heals, and thus is one for healing today's society. A bacteriologist who practised homeopathy, Bach meditated deeply on the causes of illness. His studies led him to believe that personalities fall into 'soul-types', and that an awareness of these can permit the subtle application of specific remedies to aid soul-growth. Mack reconstructs this theory of soul-types for the contemporary user and shows how, through careful attention to the twelve 'Great Healers' among the remedies, the seven 'Helpers', and the nineteen final remedies, we can face our emotional dragons and generate major change in our selves. The end result of using the remedies in the fullest way is not simply healing but transformation: igniting soul fire! The author has unique experience both sides of the Atlantic working with the Bach remedies, having studied with a number of principal Bach practitioners. Out of Bach's writings and her own experience, she extracts a deeper formula linked with both the chakras and the zodiac. The beginner will find a newer, fuller Dr Bach in this book; the practitioner will be taken further in his or her studies.

Every so often a book comes along which forces us to reappraise key writers such as Shakespeare. THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA, by Peter Dawkins, special advisor to London's 'Shakespeare's Globe' theatre, is such a book. The writer of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets was a man of his time, deeply immersed in the religious and political struggles of the day, exceptionally well-versed in law, diplomacy, music and classical literature, and he was also widely traveled - much more so than the Stratford actor widely credited with their authorship today. Through his illuminating and detailed study of the plays and hints they contain about the author, Peter Dawkins guides us down a fascinating trail, following clues that may have been left by the writer himself for us to uncover, centuries later. A whole new perspective on the plays emerges. As his argument develops, Peter Dawkins places them very firmly in their political, religious and philosophical context and out of that new understanding he comes to startling and original conclusions as to the true identity of the author of Shakespeare's works. Like any good investigation, this book is compendious in its presentation of evidence and copiously illustrated. It will appeal to all literary-minded people, those interested in esoteric wisdom, and anyone involved in arts education. THE SHAKESPEARE ENIGMA also ties in well with modern attempts to understand how Elizabethans and Jacobeans regarded theatre, through such projects as Shakespeare's Globe on London's South Bank.

THE WAY OF THE PRACTICAL MYSTIC is an astonishing rediscovery: a full-scale spiritual course in twenty-six lessons by one of the great figures in New Thought from the last century. Timeless in application, as relevant today as ever; it is a remarkably complete guide to life.In THE WAY OF THE PRACTICAL MYSTIC, approaches for the lasting creation of good are detailed that are completely in accord with the Christian way and the principles of New Age thought. The use of affirmations in realising abundance and harmony is described with clarity, there is a new look at prayer, and a threefold path towards successful realization.We control our lives by our own thoughts, and we have total responsibility to use that remarkable power for the good of all. We can develop subtler, intuitive abilities and become more sensitive to the profound richness of life.THE WAY OF THE PRACTICAL MYSTIC is suitable for the religiously-minded of all persuasions, but will be particularly helpful for someone steeped in the Christian tradition. The words of Saint Matthew, 'Therefore if thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light', sum up the philosophy.Henry Thomas Hamblin's work stands between that of Joel Goldsmith ('The Infinite Way') and James Allen ('As a Man Thinketh'), and 'A Course in Miracles'. It will appeal to all seeking to improve their lives, whether by the practical application of thought or through following a more spiritual path.

Incense is an increasingly popular tool for restoring calm, cleansing atmospheres and enhancing spiritual practices such as meditation. This book is a simple-to-follow introduction to the subject, packed with lots of ideas to try at home. It is written both for complete beginners and for those with some notion about using incense but who want to know much more. A senior aromatherapist and lifelong student of fragrances, Jennie Harding is ideally qualified to write this unique book. Jennie introduces twenty-five key ingredients in the preparation of incense and describes how to use them. There are many ways of burning incense: from the great iron burners of eastern temples to smaller charcoal burners and joss sticks. Jennie describes how to make a simple burner of your own to use at home and explains which incense to burn to purify, for calm, while meditating, to celebrate, to create an atmosphere or simply to give pleasure. This book includes archaeological evidence for how incense has been used in the past. It takes us on an exotic aromatic trip through the great civilizations.

There are not just five senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell), but also a sixth: intuition. Intuition arises out of a synergy of the five traditional senses, from a fusion of their higher aspects. Yet each of our six senses is under-developed in modern life, and we can all learn to exploit the rich input they provide about the world in which we live. They each have a higher dimension, too, that leads to profound creativity. CREATIVITY AND THE SIX SENSES re-empowers us by rescuing us from the endless commercial exploitation of our senses. Instead, it helps us develop our senses from within ourselves. It is both totally practical and subtly spiritual. This book describes simple techniques - exercises and visualizations - that enable us to develop each of our senses. It aims to help us use our senses more creatively in our homes, kitchens and gardens, in the studio and beyond in the wider world. Jennie shows how we can fine-tune and enhance our senses, and fuse them in a wonderful synthesis that allows ingenuity and creativity to thrive. Sensory awareness can help relieve stress, is therapeutic and so can be useful in the care of others. This book is a companion along a rich path of sensory discovery that could lead to the unleashing of unimagined creativity.

MORNING YOGA, EVENING YOGA presents two sequences of postures for today. One, the Surya Namaskar or 'Salutation to the Sun', is probably the earliest such sequence in the tradition. The second of them, Chandra Namaskar, is much more recent and less well-known. It translates as 'Salutation to the Moon'. Where Surya Namaskar is traditionally an early morning routine to awaken the body, Chandra Namaskar is to still the body before sleeping. MORNING YOGA, EVENING YOGA appeals to both the larks and the owls among us. It is designed to help owls face the morning, and larks cope with the evening - to help both types become more balanced in their routine and get more out of each precious day. In addition, Janita writes with a rare depth of understanding about the history of the sequences. She enlarges on traditional teaching and provides alternative postures with authority. The book also contains the mantra chants that traditionally accompany the sequences, taken from the original Sanskrit texts. From yoga comes one of the oldest systems of exercise, perhaps the oldest, we have. The length of the tradition is one of the things that most appeals to its followers in the West.

A book to enable every individual to find contentment and self-realization through the power of sound. Tibetan singing bowls have noble origin which Andrew Lyddon utterly respects in guiding the user into a practice to enhance meditation and enable spiritual growth. It is the path of nada yoga, or union through sound. Andrew's writing, however, is utterly practical and he deals one by one with every question the aspiring player of singing bowls might want to ask.
