Gruenewald recorded the results of case studies where his clients used these techniques and reclaimed power over their emotions and their lives. This is where the book picks up, as it brings us the means in our every day experiences to take back our lives.

“For me, dreaming is a direct line to a place where magic abounds and nothing is without meaning. It is a pristine state of awareness, unpolluted and clear. Direct guidance for healing lies in our dreams, the natural territory of intuition. Here, time and space are non-existent and anything is possible. Like a blank, white canvas, our dream world is a spacious medium where intuition can freely express itself. We have only to listen.”

Spirit Guides have directed Ainslie MacLeod to write this book to put more of us on track. MacLeod touches base with a simple meditation technique before each topic or “path” he wishes to explore with you. By asking the spirit guides for assistance, you find more of yourself with the turn of every page .

Kundalini Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga, we feel, are very complimentary. They both make use of Hatha Yoga poses but are decidedly more dynamic. Ashtanga uses body weight for strengthening and balance and consists of a few routines with variations. Kundalini Yoga also works on strength and balance, as well as endurance, the nervous and glandular systems, releasing the spine and connective tissue, and opening up energy flows in the body. If you would like to combine these systems we suggest that you begin with your Ashtanga workout and then end with a Kundalini Yoga set and/or meditation.

There is a wealth of information in this book — how to interpret your dreams and symbols yourself, how to use “coincidence” as a source of guidance, how to heal your body or get information about what is wrong — and more. Moss does a great job of guiding us through serious topics and big “life questions” with a lot of humor and fun — and along the way helps us to find hope, magic and serendipity in our day to day lives.

The award will be presented at the second Dorbar Ri (People’s Parliament) on October 6th near a sacred forest at the village of Mawphlang, which has been preserved for more than 700 years. They say that global climate change is not only affecting the livelihoods of their farmers who depend on sub-soil water, but has even resulted in shortages of drinking water, particularly during winter months.

In this interview Dr. Nancy Rosanoff talks to Merryn Jose about intuition, how real it is, and how profoundly it affects our lives. Dr. Rosanoff’s enduring interest in life is living the principles of Intuitive Intelligence. She is the author of 3 books on intuition, works as an intuition coach and consultant, and is host and producer of the television show: “The Listening Place.”

You are the final authority on your dreams, and you should never give the power of your dreams away by handing them over to other people to interpret. Yes, our dreams can be confusing and opaque, and we gain greatly from other people’s insights, especially when those other people are “frequent flyers” who work closely with their own dreams and have developed a fine intuition about what may be going on in dreaming. So it’s okay to ask for help. More than that, we often need help because we are too close to our own issues, or too inhibited by self-limiting to see what may be obvious to a complete outsider.
