Have you ever wanted to know more about the subtle energies of your body; what they are, what they do, and how to work with them? Have you ever wondered what a meridian, chakra or aura is? Have you ever noticed that some people or places seem to drain your energy or leave you in a bad mood, while others do not?As time goes on, people are becoming more aware that there's much more to our body and being than just the physical part. Like the physical aspect, our body also has a subtle energetic aspect to it that has systems and parts that perform specific functions. Although often unrecognized, this subtle energetic aspect of our being plays an important part in every aspect of our life. Because of this, it is crucial that we understand at least a little bit about how the subtle energetics of our body work, how they interface with our physical body, and how they interact with other subtle energies around us.In this book I talk about the subtle energetic flows, pools and emanations that form the basic bioenergetic systems of the body. I also talk about basic principles in working with and directing subtle energies, as well as some of the dynamics of subtle energetic interactions between us and other people and things. Additionally, discuss concepts and methods of fortifying and stabilizing our body's subtle energies, how to energetically clear and maintain a space, and other necessary related topics.

Novela Negra ambientada en Japón (1954/55), después de la retirada de las tropas de ocupación americana. Nos cuenta la historia de dos policías tokyotas, el sargento Kyojo y Noboru Yamaguchi, que se trasladan a la provinciana y rural Kawagoe, por un brutal crimen, que conmueve a una sociedad tranquila por naturaleza.Allí descubrirán que, nada es lo que parece ser, y que son manipulados como muñecos de trapo, por una antigua Religión, que no comprenden, y que se considera a sí misma predecesora del Shintoismo, pero de la que quedarán fascinados y ambos, serán partícipes de las decisiones que toma la Naturaleza Virgen, para purificar este nuevo periodo de tiempo, al que se enfrenta la nación nipona.Crímenes, rituales mágicos malignos y benignos, el poder de la tradición, y una filosofía de vida asociada a nuestro estado natural. Es la excusa perfecta para Hitoyoshi Tsuneo, periodista Nipón, pueda denunciar la opacidad de los poderes imperantes para ocultar la verdad o si lo prefieren, la realidad, pues la verdad no es sólo una, sino que cambia de color con cada uno de los actores de la vida. La guerra o más bien la posguerra, sale a la palestra como denuncia, pues el horror del conflicto sigue patente y la supervivencia postconflicto, obliga a los Seres Humanos... a comportarse como bestias.

Three coats or more of each color are applied, with each coat being allowed to dry thoroughly. After the quilt is finished, it is allowed to cure for at least two weeks before it is mounted.Making a barn quilt allows individuals and volunteer groups the opportunity to create and paint their own quilt square. The design that is chosen may represent a family pattern from a beloved quilt or perhaps a new pattern meaningful to the creator(s).

The Evil Dead Motorcycle Club gave Wolf his nickname. They said it was because women stood about as much chance with him as Little Red Riding Hood stood against the Big Bad Wolf. And maybe that was true. For Wolf, when it comes to his club, he's all about loyalty. He loves his brothers, he loves the freedom of the road, and he loves his independence. When it comes to women, Wolf is all about the chase. He likes the hunt, he likes the challenge, and he loves women. And for the hot-as-hell badass biker, they've always come too easily. But they never fully satisfy him. That is, until he met Crystal. Buried under that hard-edged sexy-as-sin tomboy with the smartass mouth that can put any brother in the MC in his place, is a feminine side she only reveals when pushed. And Wolf is just the man to push. Problem is she's the only woman to ever push back. Which only makes him more determined to have her. Life in the Evil Dead MC isn't easy, and neither is loving one of them. It's a life that can leave a man scarred and bloody. And sometimes the fallout is far reaching and takes more than a man is willing to give. It can be just as risky for any woman brave enough to love one of them. The scars of life run deep, for both of them. Sometimes life doesn't give you a fairytale, sometimes you have to make your own. And sometimes it takes a spitfire to tame a hell-raiser.

Tom Ryan is the oldest of five Irish Catholic children. Through his eyes, the story of his younger brother, Harry, unfolds: "Growing up, Harry was always the shining star of the family. He was the one you'd name if you were trying to think of kids who were holy, and the one I'd list as a brown-nosing little punk who deserved to get beat up on the playground for making it hard on the rest of us. He was the one God, and Grandma Ryan, had called to the priesthood."But Harry took a different path and chose not to enter the seminary, and eventually, not to be a Catholic. When he left for college he left for good."Not that I cared, but for four years, Harry never came home. No one spoke of him at the dinner table or wondered aloud how he was doing or why he had changed. His picture disappeared from the mantle. It was as if he had ceased to exist, had never existed, that the shining star had been but a passing comet lost in time and memory. It hurt Mom and Dad a lot." It's Christmas 1972, Harry's senior year, and the Ryan family has gathered for the holiday, all except Harry... _______________________________________Read the sequel!"A Cape May Diamond," the sequel to "Four Years from Home" is out on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon. It is a story of life, love, and a journey of a thousand years, and is a must-read for those who want to know what really happened to Tom Ryan.

For everything on the planet, there is a natural diet. You are no different. The human diet details what human food is and what it is not. Pulling no punches, the author drives home why we are so confused about what to eat. "there is a human diet that should be the base foods you eat. The problem is that you have no earthly idea what it is and what it is not. Its not your fault, you've been lied to since the day you were born. It has not been an international conspiracy (or has it? Just kidding) it has been a convergence of bad ideas, misconceptions, convenience and necessity for survival. "The human Diet gives the readers a simply way to move forward towards better health while laying down his 3 laws for Humans:1) Never accept any argument that is made in favor for a chemical and against nature2) Never accept trading moments of bliss for years of pain3) Protect your body and your world - you only get one.

Some folk are born wild. Some have wildness thrust upon them. When Lorna discovers the body of her childhood friend, Lachie, tangled by the tide on a Scottish Hebrides beach long-submerged family secrets and murderous truths rise to the surface threatening to wash away everything she holds dear. " This is the kind of story that gets under your skin and ignites the wildness in your heart. An exquisitely written evocation of a 1970's childhood on the west coast of Scotland, a haunting contemporary whodunit; each sentence of The Wild Folk is woven with magic." - Jackie Stewart, flowerspirit.co.uk Mesmerising and beautiful, with a gritty contemporary Scottish fairy tale at its heart, The Wild Folk is perfect for readers of Sjon's The Blue Fox, Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale and Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child. Praise for The Wild Folk: "Lovely magic realism ... The Wild Folk uses remarkable language to evoke the haunting magic of rural Scotland. Some of the imagery and even just the sentence structure was really stunning and emotional, especially at the end of the novel" - S C Langgle "Touches the heart. The Wild Folk challenges us to set aside our modern Western, science-based way of thinking, and believe that there just might be something more to life on Earth" - Mary E "The story transports you to a place that seems all too real and modern and yet dangerous and mythological all at once. Beautifully written, with language so visceral it creates a world that while foreign to most readers, will seem instantly familiar and vivid. Kennedy's characters are drawn with loving care and her descriptions of the island and the sea surrounding it are striking. A stirring mystery on many levels, I loved this book" - Mizenkay "Wild and wonderful" - H. Howie "A beautiful, mysterious and moving novel. Ms. Kennedy has a special talent for evoking time and place. She brings to life a small Scottish fishing isle with the poetry and assurance that can be favourably compared to Dylan Thomas' capturing of his home town in Wales. Part psychological mystery, part love story, part magic, The Wild Folk is a masterful novel by a writer we hope to here more from in the future" - Alpine "Gritty storytelling with a magical twist. Wonderfully well-written, the poetic language and the rawness of the story suck you into the tides of folklore before you notice what is happening. Hugely enjoyable ... Hugely recommended - Misty365 "Mesmerising tale. Expertly woven. So human and other worldly at the same time" - Kelly Tankersley "Kennedy makes words dance a wild jig. Her writing is pleasantly pungent and rustic. The Wild Folk is a quiet story of family, the choices we make and what we choose to believe in" - Stella Stedman "Vigorous and enchanting, earthy and surreal" - Owen Luckey "A genre-straddling book that sits comfortably within the pantheon of great contemporary Scottish fiction, as well as paying tribute to Highland folklore and to the power of the feminine mindset and character in an honest and inspiring manner" - Duncan "Nature writing with juicy bits." - John Beswick "Hauntingly lovely" - PO "Compelling, well-written, haunting. I loved it. Stays with you long after reading" - Stacy Pond

Reverend Jermain Wesley Loguen was one of the most fervent and dedicated abolitionists of his day. An ex-slave, he brazenly printed in Syracuse newspapers his address and invitations to other runaways seeking freedom. He became infamous for his leadership in the "Jerry rescue"- one of the very few successful fugitive slave rescues in the country. During his lifetime he was hailed as the "Underground Railroad King" and worked closely with Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnet, Gerrit Smith, Samuel May, and other leading figures in the abolitionist movement. He was ordained in the AME Zion Church and utilized his many church connections to help fugitives and assist the self -emancipated in finding jobs and making the transition to freedom. In 2011 Reverend Jermain Loguen was one of the early inductees into the National Abolition Hall of Fame. This book is the story of this unsung hero, revealing his passionate lifelong stance for freedom, human rights and equality, his dagger-sharp oratory as preacher and writer, and his internal turmoils as someone who, in his own words, would have preferred to have been "a still quiet man, but oppression has made me mad."
