Healing Trauma: Guided Imagery for Posttraumatic Stress
Summary
Can you ever really recover from posttraumatic stress (PTSD)? Psychotherapist, guided imagery pioneer, and trauma expert Belleruth Naparstek says yes, and has the research to prove it. Her powerfully transformative guided meditations were found in four different clinical studies to significantly lower all three clusters of PTS symptoms by six weeks of regular listening, reducing flashbacks, nightmares, isolation, numbing, fear, shame, cynicism, and anger, while restoring a sense of inner goodness, hope, self-esteem, and meaning - all just over the course of eight weeks of regular listening. Naparstek, the author of the award-winning book, Invisible Heroes: Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal, combines this physiologically balancing, psychologically sophisticated, and spiritually inspiring guided narrative with the exquisite scoring of Steven Mark Kohn's music, to deliver a depth charge of healing to survivors of combat and military sexual trauma, childhood abuse, motor vehicle accidents, criminal assault, domestic violence, natural disasters, ICU stays, and traumatic hospital experiences. A separate track of affirmations bolsters the healing process with quick, positive reminders in a briefer format, which can be heard and enjoyed while engaged in other activities, including driving. Another track of the music alone helps to integrate and solidify the deep inner gains achieved through the other two tracks, and ensure they last. Designed for use as a supportive supplement to other treatment approaches for PTSD, or as a stand-alone intervention, this ground breaking program is recommended and distributed by the US Veterans Administration, Kaiser Permanente, The Red Cross, the US Army, and hundreds of hospitals and treatment centers nationwide.

If you choose to take this journey from empath to mystic, you will make exciting discoveries about yourself and find inspired transformation in spite of the challenges. You will take a giant leap towards living this lifetime as more than an empath or spiritual seeker. You will awaken your intuitive gifts and lead your life as a modern mystic.

Mind over Meds
Summary
Too many Americans are taking too many drugs - and it's costing us our health, happiness, and lives. Prescription drug use in America has increased tenfold in the past 50 years, and over-the-counter drug use has risen just as dramatically. In addition to the dozens of medications we take to treat serious illnesses, we take drugs to help us sleep, to keep us awake, to keep our noses from running, our backs from aching, and our minds from racing. Name a symptom, there's a pill to suppress it. Modern drugs can be miraculously life-saving, and many illnesses demand their use. But what happens when our reliance on powerful pharmaceuticals blinds us to their risks? Painful side effects and dependency are common, and adverse drug reactions are America's fourth leading cause of death. In Mind over Meds, best-selling author Dr. Andrew Weil alerts listeners to the problem of overmedication, and outlines when medicine is necessary, and when it is not. Dr. Weil examines how we came to be so drastically overmedicated, presents science that proves drugs aren't always the best option, and provides reliable integrative medicine approaches to treating common ailments like high blood pressure, allergies, depression, and even the common cold. With case histories, healthy alternative treatments, and input from other leading physicians, Mind over Meds is the go-to resource for anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Qigong Meditations
Summary
Qigong meditation is the art of using your mind to direct the flow of energy within your body. This energy, or qi, is the bioelectricity carried by your nervous system.

Controlling this energy flow is one key to good health. In Qigong Meditations, master instructor Ken Cohen presents three authentic qigong exercises in specific detail and teaches correct posture, awareness control, and cleansing the organs inside the body, with special attention given to proper breathing methods.

The Greatest Discovery
Summary
Freedom. Truth. Discovery. It’s who you are. Have you ever felt that you’ve yet to be fully and truly alive? That just beyond reach, there might be something far more vast, immediate, and real? "What you’ve sensed was the ‘absolute You’ beckoning," teaches Gangaji, "the boundless awareness and love that is your true nature." And with The Greatest Discovery, you are invited to answer that call to this ecstatic expanse of being. A word-by-word, moment-by-moment journey into awakening When hearing Gangaji for the first time, many listeners - even those who’ve practiced self-inquiry on their own for years - describe a "direct transmission" of infinite and loving consciousness. It sounds "mystical", but as Gangaji often says, she is just an ordinary person. So what’s happening? "We create suffering," she explains, "when we come to believe that we are the waves and weather of our physical, emotional, and mental turmoil - but who we really are is the ever-present and immutable water." And by simply inquiring into these inner obstacles in the presence of others - and sharing each step thought-by-thought - Gangaji creates a heart-centered attunement that lofts us into the profound experience that her listeners describe. The Greatest Discovery marks a unique new offering from Gangaji. First, it’s a concentrated distillation of her current core teachings on dozens of real-life issues, including nine guided practices. But more than that - these intimate meetings are meant to be an immersive journey to spark the direct experience of awakening as you listen…answer the call…and embark on your own adventure into spiritual discovery.
