Download or read book Secrets of Aboriginal Healing written by Gary Holz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the 60,000-year-old healing system of the Aborigines revealed through one man’s journey to overcome multiple sclerosis • Written at the request of the Aboriginal people the author stayed with • Explores the use of dreamtime, spirit guides, and telepathy to discover and reprogram the subconscious motivations, thought patterns, and beliefs behind illness • Reveals how to tap in to healing support through the body/mind/spirit connection • Nautilus Silver Medal Winner and ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Finalist In 1983 award-winning physicist Gary Holz was diagnosed with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. By 1988 he was a quadriplegic. Then, in 1994, his doctors told him he had two years to live. Desperate and depressed, he followed a synchronistic suggestion and went to Australia to live with a remote Aboriginal tribe. Arriving in a wheelchair, alone, with almost no feeling left from the neck down, Holz embarked on a remarkable healing transformation of body, mind, and spirit and discovered his own gift for healing others. Written at the request of the Aboriginal healers Holz worked with, this book reveals the beliefs and principles of the 60,000-year-old healing system of the Aborigines of Australia, the world’s oldest continuous culture. Chronicling the step-by-step process that led to his miraculous recovery, he explains the role played by thought in the creation of health or disease and details the five essential steps in the Aboriginal healing process. He explores the use of dreamtime, spirit guides, and telepathy to discover and reprogram the subconscious motivations behind illness--a process that enacts healing at the cellular and the soul level, where the root of physical illness is found. Supported by modern science, including quantum physics, Aboriginal medicine enables each of us to tap in to healing support through the power of the body/mind/spirit connection.

Download or read book Great Australian Journeys written by Graham Seal and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Graham Seal has the knack of the storyteller' - Warren Fahey AM Australia's history is one of epic journeys, intrepid explorers, and mysterious disappearances in far flung places. From perilous sea voyages to the distant south land, to forays across vast deserts on horseback, they are stories of endurance and misadventure, survival and loss. Master storyteller Graham Seal has gathered together a gripping collection of famous and lesser-known journeys by land, sea and air in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As Warren Fahey writes in his foreword, 'Some journeys, like those of Burke and Wills, Lasseter's First Find, and the razing of the riverboat Rodney, are relatively well known. Others, mostly unknown, are tales of bravado, determination and, sometimes, sheer madness.' From the comfort and safety of your armchair you can join some of Australia's bravest and also some of its most foolhardy men and women in their adventures.

Download or read book Four of Diamonds written by Alan Pilkington and published by . This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rex spent a quiet Christmas Day. He opened the parcel from his family; it contained a leather fishing fly wallet from his father, a knitted woolen sweater from his mother and a book titled The Spell of the Yukon, by Robert Service, from Margorie. He re-read his father's letters and rested, and after a big dinner in the cookhouse at midday with those station men who had not left to join their families, he fished in the Upper Murray River until evening. The cook had left, after cleaning the kitchen following Christmas dinner, and Rex had the big kitchen to himself. He fried two small trout in butter for tea, and ate alone, enjoying his solitude in the evening without loneliness. He sat quietly on the verandah of the bunkhouse, listening to the water from the windmill sprinkling the orchard, and to the birds roosting in the box trees that lined the homestead's driveway. Rex was thinking about his family and his life, and he wondered when he would see them again, when his odyssey would be over.
