Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sun started to set and people were starting to leave. Kay moved from the yard to the porch, which was clouded in smoke from burning rags in buckets, seeking refuge from the mosquitoes. It was going to be a long summer without Reginald. Walter had come by to tell her he was seeing someone but that they owed it to themselves to see where things could go. Kay declined and wished him luck with his girlfriend. The telephone rang at precisely five-thirty. Kay answered it. "Hello, may I speak to Kay?" The voice didn't sound familiar so Kay decided quickly to make the call short, "This is she." She said in the most bored tone she could muster. The voice replied, "Hello She, this is He." And it was with that familiar phrase that Reginald Anthony Billings re-entered Kay's world.

They would later find out most of his talents would stem from spirits teaching him the basic principles of learning to read and write. Soon enough, the thoughts of dealing and finding ways to evade ghost would overwhelm them. The spirits would haunt them everywhere they traveled. However, despite all their fears casted by ghosts, Nigel was the least fearful of the crack walls, the rising bed and the falling clock.

Download or read book Waking from a Dream written by Lawrence Clarke and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 95-year old Missourian, diagnosed with an inoperable blastoma, decides to write the story of his unusual life before he passes into history. Chester Hanley, born in 1907 in Gaults Dip, Missouri, has had an unusual existence. When he is born, a friend of his fathers donates a small orange bush as a birthing gift. It fruits every few months as the boy matures but each harvest only yields two oranges. Just like life, sometimes they are sweet, sometimes bitter and very occasionally one is bitter and one sweet. The fruit appears, during his early years, to be a catalyst in triggering dreams and, in those dreams, Chester sees glimpses of the present and future. Quincy Rawlins, the tree donator, warns Chester and his father in no uncertain terms that the boy can benefit others from what he learns in his dreams but he can never profit from the magic himself. In 1916, his father goes off to war but comes home a shell of his former self. Where before, he was a non-violent man, he now strikes his wife a few times. He assaults some fellow farmers and is sent to Prison in Springfield. When he returns, he is more violent and Chesters mother banishes him from the home. He goes to New York and becomes a street fighter where he is accidentally injured when he falls and strikes his head on a kerb. He comes back home as a shadow of a robust man he once was. He is put into a nursing home near Saint Louis where Chesters mother begins an affair with the treating doctor. Chester sees this in a dream and goes to the clinic, finds his neglected father and brings him back home. Later, his father suffers a brain aneurism and finally he dies. The story encompasses the lives of Chesters three younger siblings, three ex-wives, his involvement in World War II and his ongoing battles with his mother. He becomes a best-selling author (albeit involuntarily) and travels the USA and abroad but never lives anywhere except Gaults Dip. He stops writing in the 1960s but when, in late 2002, he diagnosed with the inoperable brain tumour, he decides to write his life story.

Book excerpt: A Profound Method to Work with Dreams In research at the University of Chicago, Dr. Gendlin found that certain specific bodily responses can open up and lead to small steps of a new experience. These bodily responses can indicate the steps for interpreting a dream. Theories about dreams differ and give contradictory interpretations. Dr. Gendlin derives 16 questions from the many existing theories to aid you, the dreamer, in. the process of interpretation. In this book Dr. Gendlin teaches you to ask the questions so that your body can respond . You learn to recognize how it feels when a question is about to lead to a breakthrough. You learn to let the question complete itself so that the dream opens and you know without doubt what it is about. The first stage is learning what the dream is about. But this alone may not yet tell you anything you did not know before. The second stage is getting something new from the dream for your own development. The BIAS CONTROL solves what was, until now, an insurmountable problem: People could not interpret their own dreams because they always imposed their usual biases on them.

Download or read book The Healing Wisdom of Dreams written by Kathleen Webster O'Malley and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to trusting in the wisdom of our nightly visions and describing how engaging with our dream world can give us a sense of direction, help us to heal current and past hurts, including pre-birth trauma. We can analyze and interpret our dreams, but we can do so much more: when we understand and engage with our dreams, we are able to tap into a special, deeper kind of healing. The process of healing is not about putting the same pieces back together; rather, it is about reclaiming what is already within us that could never be broken, the essence of who we are as individuals and as interconnected parts of a greater whole. In THE HEALING WISDOM OF DREAMS, health and wellness practitioner Kathleen Webster O'Malley gently guides us through the process of using our dreams to heal unwanted patterns and live more authentically. She provides specific tools for enhancing dream recall, including dream journaling, and brings in the practices of dream incubation--how to ask our dream a question and receive and interpret an answer--lucid dreaming, and Tibetan dream yoga practices. Nightmares are inevitable when we start to dive deeper into our vulnerabilities and traumas, and O'Malley discusses how to re-vision them as urgent messages that serve to deliver profound realizations. She explores the more mystical side of dreaming: visions from ancestors and spirit guides, animal guides, and archetypes that appear in our dreams. Finally, she encourages us to grant ourselves permission to be playful in our dreams, to envision ourselves as archeologists unearthing our hidden gifts.

Download or read book Edge of the Sacred Jung Psyche Earth written by David Tacey and published by Daimon. This book was released on with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does earth have spirit or soul? This is a question being asked ever more frequently, especially by those interested in the future of the natural world and the development of consciousness. The alchemists said ‘the greater part of the soul is outside the body’, and indigenous cultures have felt that soul or spirit resides in Nature and the physical environment. Such notions have been dismissed by modernity as illusions, but we are beginning to have second thoughts about the animation of the earth. Science and rationality have not taught us how to love or care for the earth, and in the modern era the environment has been disrespected. The mythic bonds to Nature such as those found in Aboriginal Australian cultures appear to have real survival value because they bind us to the earth in a meaningful way. When these bonds are destroyed by excessive rationality or a collapse of cultural mythology, we are left alone, outside the community of Nature and in an alienated state. In this state we do real damage to the environment, because it is no longer part of our spiritual body or moral responsibility. Jung was one of the first thinkers of our time to consider the psychic influence of the earth and the conditioning of the mind by place. Inspired by his writings and those of James Hillman, the field of ecopsychology has arisen as a powerful new area of inquiry. Edge of the Sacred: Jung, Psyche, Earth contributes to global ecopsychology from an Australian perspective.
Download or read book Relational Perspectives on the Body written by Lewis Aron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary psychoanalysis has devoted so much of its attention to relational and interpersonal aspects of psychic life that questions have begun to emerge regarding the place of the body and bodily experience in our psychological worlds. Relational Perspectives on the Body addresses these questions in exemplary fashion. Contemporary relational theorists synthesize a variety of theoretical trends and influences - including feminism and postmodernism - in order to provide innovative relational models of psyche-soma integration. Throughout the book, contributors pay attention to the analysand's and the analyst's experiences as they devise original technical responses to the multifaceted ways in which bodily experiences enter into the relational matrix of psychoanalytic treatment. In the process, contributors take up subjects that are seldom addressed in the clinical literature, including breast cancer in the analyst, psychoanalytic treatment of Munchausen's Syndrome, physical deformity, and musculoskeletal back pain. The final three chapters, by Looker, Balamuth, and Anderson, respectively, grew out of a study group that continues to investigate the relationship between somatic and symbolized experience. The editors are well equipped to undertake this project. Lewis Aron is a leading relational theorist and clinical analyst, and Frances Sommer Anderson has employed a psychoanalytically informed approach to treating musculoskeletal back pain and other somatic symptoms for 18 years. The editors have enlisted original contributions from an excellent group of colleagues, placing Relational Perspectives on the Body at the forefront of the revival of interest in the body and bodily experience in psychoanalytic theory and practice.

Download or read book The Inn at the Edge of Light written by Michael Graeme and published by Michael Graeme. This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of '87, Chris Marshal travels to the Western Isles of Scotland and spends the night in a remote mountain hut. There, he's joined by an adventurous backpacker, Jen Munroe, who invites him to go with her on the trip of a lifetime, just the two of them, hiking along the old Hippy trail, all the way to India. But Chris is shy, and afraid of this bold, confident woman. He says no, then wakes the following morning to find her gone. It's then he realizes going with her was actually the one thing his life actually needed, that he's now doomed to spend the rest of it searching for the essence of what it was he lost that day. Through the cold-war of the eighties, the surveillance-capitalism and political disintegration of the early twenty-first century, and finally into the depths of a very British dystopia, Chris does his best to adapt, but is forever wishing he could turn back time, and strike out along a more authentic path. And of course, never far from his thoughts is Jen. She's never far from his dreams either, and in particular his strange recurring dreams of the Inn at the Edge of Light, a place where there's always a welcome, wise counsel, and a warm bed for the night. Here too might lie the answer to the enigma of his life, if he could only work out why it is the landlord keeps asking him if he's happy always with the same room,... Or if he'd like a change now and then.
