No Nonsense Advice Direct From The Dream World by Megan McFeely
"I have what I call dreams and then what I call dream experiences. In dreams I feel this sense of something more ethereal, where I am bit removed, more of an observer in the process. With experiences, I feel like I am engaged in the action -- there is something really happening and I am participating. Sometimes I can even use my mind to influence the events as they unfold, which is really amazing."

Bridge Between Worlds -- Extraordinary Experiences That Changed Lives by Dan Millman and Doug Childers
"This book is a revised edition of a previously released book, Divine Interventions. Stories have been added and removed, giving this volume less of a religious overtone and more of a secular "we can't explain these phenomena, but we know they exist" emphasis. What all the stories have in common is the idea of transcendent possibilities -- the events, interventions and outcomes are fascinating. Readers will enjoy making their own interpretation of each story and no doubt draw inspiration from many of them."

2010- A Call to Action By Stephen Thomson
"The Numerology cycle for 2010 is a Universal number 3. This is the background energy in all of our lives, which will influence us personally, and impersonally in the world around us. The roots of this year, were actually planted in 2008. If you can think back to what was happening in your world and the world around you during that year, you will be better prepared to understand the events of 2010, as they begin to unfold. Like a farmer, we planted seeds in 2008 which we have now tended for two years. This year, our crop will begin to appear and we will see what we really planted in 2008..."

The Twelve Labors of Hercules by Janet Kane
"One of the ways to understand transiting Saturn in the houses is to use the myth of The Twelve Labors of Hercules as an allegory for his journey.
The labors of Hercules are the challenges confronting us during the Saturn transit.
Each of his labors describe the experience we must face at that time but also the gift of knowledge acquired represented by the natal house...
Equating the 12 labors with the 12 signs of the zodiac goes back centuries.
The first mention of this correlation was by Hesiod circa 700 BC and again by Pausanius in the 5th century BC.
Eventually the Twelve Labors of Hercules were written down in full by Appolororus (180-120 BC). "

Nettles! by Patricia Neill
"Wood nettles like to grow by forest streams or rivers. Stinging nettles prefer sunny areas. If you have a creek or stream or river near you, look along the banks for nettles. If you get stung by the nettles, jewelweed is usually growing nearby. Cut the stem of the jewelweed and it will ease the nettles sting. So do dock and plantain leaves. Stick some plantain in your pocket before heading out to gather nettles. "

Eden Village Camp: Big Fun, Small Footprint! by Vivian Lehrer
"Eden Village Camp is a living model of a thriving, inspired, sustainable Jewish community, grounded in social responsibility and vibrant spiritual life. Eden Village creates a fun, safe and inclusive space for young people to be themselves – to learn, grow and explore their true gifts and passions. As campers gain both technical skills like outdoor living and social skill sets like learning to thrive in community, they deepen their sense of personal purpose, contribution and Jewish identity. Campers consider and express those values through activities like hands-on farming, hiking, arts, contemplation and service to others, which simultaneously transforms them and changes the world. "

Dreams: Reconnecting Us To The Sacred by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
"We are hungry for the sacred, for meaning to return to our lives. And this meaning is waiting within us--the sacred is present in the symbols of our dreams. But first we have to create an inner space that is not corrupted by outer desires, purify ourselves and our intention. In the Native American tradition the individual often had to fast and be purified by a sweat lodge in order to be ready to fully experience the inner world. Any dreamwork, but especially spiritual dreamwork, requires a continual attitude of inner attention and a commitment not to use the energy of the inner for personal gain. Dreams can reconnect us with the sacred but only if we learn how to be receptive and respect their symbols and images."

Growing Food in the City by Kim Matthews
"Urban Agriculture
is the social movement to create space to allow people to grow their own food in or near their city. Some of the produce is marketed, while other projects, such as community gardens, are designed to give participants the opportunity to grow food for their individual needs. The concept is based around the idea that cities are stronger when people are able to feed themselves through their own investment and actions. A garden doesn't grow in isolation, but it is one piece of a larger, interconnected food system."

Cilantro – the natural chelator by Dr. David G. Williams
"There's nothing I like more than learning about inexpensive, common herbs or spices that exhibit unusual healing properties. Historically, the use of herbs and spices in cooking evolved as a method to preserve foods and make them safer to store and eat. We've grown accustomed to using these items to enhance or accentuate the flavors of food, but researchers continue to discover herbs have much more to offer than just good taste. Cilantro is such an herb and one of its medicinal benefits was uncovered through the work of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura."

Leap of Faith by Mitzi Adams and Ryan Schmidt
"It's almost as if I spent the last two years opening my eyes to the world. Rather than closing myself off in fear of losing people, like I lost my mom, my uncle, and my friend, I decided to open up even more. I give more love, more smiles, more hugs, and even more compliments. Ultimately, I now live my life with my own goals, aspirations, and agenda...I could've stepped out on dance, and on life, but with the support of family, friends, yoga, and Jin Shin Jyustu, I can now enjoy spreading that positive energy to others."

The Pine Cone and Life by Art Mason
"It is found at the center of the brain. It is a small gland about the size of a grape, with amazing power and ability. For most of the population it is close to non functioning. For a few it is in full swing. The hierarchy of all religions are aware of it, but don’t talk about it. The medical world uses it as a reference point when scanning for tumors. But this small gland is something we all want to awaken because it will change your life."
