Book excerpt: This twentieth anniversary edition of the classic guide to Hawaiian Shamanism healing includes a new introduction and bonus healing technique.

By working to eliminate this root stress readers can achieve physical and mental healing for themselves without resorting to invasive methods. Written in a jargon-free and easily accessible style, Instant Healing will teach you to use the power of words, the power of imagination, the power of touch, and the power of energy to aide in the healing of all types of ailments. The book also features a special section on emergency techniques that can be used with a minimum of explanation to bring rapid relief. Instant Healing will transform the way you consider your body and empower you to take control in a new way.
Download or read book Communication with All Life Large Print 16pt written by Joan Ranquet and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Communication with All Life is about animal communication, it isn't just a how-to book, but a guide that will help you discern how much you're already exchanging feelings, words, and pictures with your pet. Woven throughout the book are many stories to illustrate and support the theory that animal communication isn't something that you do or need to learn . . . it just is. By tuning in telepathically, Joan Ranquet has helped thousands of people and animals deepen their connections with each other, resolve behavioral problems, assist in the process of death and dying, and examine issues surrounding illness and accidents. Many of the situations that are dealt with throughout the book are actually people-perception problems rather than stories of an ill-behaved dog, cat, horse, bird, or other pet. Communication with All Life illustrates how to move past the emotional patterns that create unwanted behavior and ultimately demonstrates that animal companions give humans the opportunity to enact leadership and responsibility in their thoughts and feelings to ensure harmony at home.
