An unbelievably believable story about the afterlife, with documenting photographs from the former publisher of a major metropolitan newspaper. In 2004, Janis Heaphy Durham's husband, Max Besler, died of cancer at age 56. The daughter of a Presbyterian minister, she practiced her faith as she struggled with her loss. Soon she began encountering phenomena unlike anything she'd ever experienced: lights flickering, doors opening and closing, clocks stopping at 12:44, the exact time of Max's death. But then something startling happened that changed Heaphy Durham's life forever. A powdery handprint appeared on her bathroom mirror on the first anniversary of Max's death. This launched Heaphy Durham on a journey that transformed her spiritually and altered her view of reality forever. She interviewed scientists and spiritual practitioners along the way, as she discovered that the veil between this world and the next is thin and it's love that bridges the two worlds.

Download or read book The Mirror and the Palette written by Jennifer Higgie and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzlingly original and ambitious book on the history of female self-portraiture by one of today's most well-respected art critics. Her story weaves in and out of time and place. She's Frida Kahlo, Loïs Mailou Jones and Amrita Sher-Gil en route to Mexico City, Paris or Bombay. She's Suzanne Valadon and Gwen John, craving city lights, the sea and solitude; she's Artemisia Gentileschi striding through the streets of Naples and Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede. She's haunting museums in her paint-stained dress, scrutinising how El Greco or Titian or Van Dyck or Cézanne solved the problems that she too is facing. She's railing against her corsets, her chaperones, her husband and her brothers; she's hammering on doors, dreaming in her bedroom, working day and night in her studio. Despite the immense hurdles that have been placed in her way, she sits at her easel, picks up a mirror and paints a self-portrait because, as a subject, she is always available. Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In The Mirror and the Palette, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic and Applied Hand Reading The palms of our hands serve as a kind of detailed and fascinating roadmap that mirrors our consciousness. It tells the story of our deepest needs, our strengths and hidden talents, as well as the places within us that need nurturing and support. In order to be properly read and deciphered, this map requires knowledge. "The Hand: The Mirror of the Soul" provides the reader this knowledge. This is a revolutionary book that offers a comprehensive, clear and readable survey of Chirology - the art of reading hands - along with enriching the knowledge of chirology with the values and validity of scientific research. Most of the book (first and second parts) is a comprehensive, clear and readable survey of many aspects of the hand: the structure of the palm with all its details; the palm lines and their various appearances; the fingers and the story each of them has to tell (Even the rings a person wears have a story to tell!) and many more. All this information is accompanied by illuminating examples and illustrations. In these two parts, the book also answers fascinating, frequently asked questions, such as: Is it necessary to read both hands? What is the difference between the right and left hands? Do the hands change with time? Is it possible to recognize significant events in a person's life by reading his hands? -Is it possible, and not less, is it advisable, to "see" the future in the hands? The third and fourth parts of the book are unique in the field of diagnostic and applied chirology. The third part offers a list of mental traits and situations, which are manifested in the hands, each and every one of them, by a unique cluster of parameters. Those among the readers who practice therapeutic professions will find a special interest in some of them. Learn how to recognize, for instance: -How does humor express itself in the hands? -What are the signs of high intelligence? -How can we discover creativity in the hand? And also: -Signs of stress; -Signs of depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies and in the hand; -Self-confidence; -Intuition; And much more. Each person has a unique personality and no two hands are identical. This book allows the reader to see this uniqueness and appreciate it in every person, including you. Give yourself the gift of knowing yourself and your loved ones, and gain a powerful tool for personal development. The fourth part is even more innovative and groundbreaking. It includes three scientific researches. Two of them have been conducted at a psychiatric hospital; the first has been published in the "Israel Journal of Psychiatry". The third one compared hands of people of the ultra-orthodox population in Israel to a control group. The statistical results presented in all three of the studies were highly conclusive. This is a breakthrough in the field of diagnostic hand reading, putting forward the possibility of using it as a complementary diagnostic tool, saving a lot of suffering.

Download or read book The Mirror Book written by Charlotte Grimshaw and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brave, explosive, and thought-provoking, this is a powerful memoir. 'It's material, make a story out of it,' was the mantra Charlotte Grimshaw grew up with in her literary family. But when her life suddenly turned upside-down, she needed to re-examine the reality of that material. The more she delved into her memories, the more the real characters in her life seemed to object. So what was the truth of 'a whole life lived in fiction'? This is a vivid account of a New Zealand upbringing, where rebellion was encouraged, where trouble and tragedy lay ahead. It looks beyond the public face to the 'messy reality of family life - and much more'."--Back cover.
