Book excerpt: This easy to read manual details 10 solutions that will lead one on an adventurous life-long journey back to their original state of being; to complete mental and physical health. Excerpt from the book... Sure chemistry fluxes. The personality can shift when it happens. But now we will have a rudder under our boat so it is easier to control. That rudder is the spiritual momentum our body is making as we employ the practices. That momentum is the earth-force we build up that carries us. This earth-force is the powerful magnetic field that we amass from the practices. It is the vibe. When the body feels the vibe the personality transforms. The mood chills- it's found something much greater than a drug. This brings peace for our body, mind and soul. In the mind we are at rest, in the body vibration, and in the soul the experience of existence, consciousness and bliss. With all this in tune we have mastered all disease and disorder, for we are at ease and we have attained order. Want to experience all this. It is a great journey. When you start, just be happy to walk it without the destination as your goal. That way you will look back and appreciate the journey when you reach the summit and shine forth like the sun.
