Book excerpt: Touch for Health (R) (TFH) is an easy, simple, safe system of kinesiology (muscle-testing, and acupressure energy balancing) with goal-setting and creative visualization to help you: - Clarify your Personal Vision- Clear mental/emotional/ physical and energetic blocks- Relieve pain and release tension & Balance your energy flow to enhance your personal bests, achieve more consistent and frequent peak performances and reach your life goals.The Five Element Metaphors from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been in development and use for 5,000 years! These are symbolic associations with the seasons, climate, phases in the life cycle, as well as the 5 Senses and emotions.Each Life Energy pathway in the body (Meridians) is associated with an Element, and Organ Function, and a paired Yin or Yang Energy pathway related to the same Element. In the TFH system, we balance the muscles to improve physical posture, and general function of the whole body/ whole person. We also associate each muscle to one of the major 14 Meridians from TCM, and we can use the Meridian flow, and specific Meridian Acupressure Points to balance the muscles as well as the Life Energy flow and overall function of the person, energetically, structurally, physiologically, mentally, emotionally. TFH is available to ALL people, without regard to prior training. We do not do any medical or TCM diagnosis, prescription, or "treatment". Rather we support the person to explore and balance multiple aspects of their functioning and experiencing of daily life. Considering pains, challenges, worries, aspirations and goals Metaphorically, not only keeps us from making any kind of diagnosis without the proper training/ licensing, it also "opens the door to the Soul", putting us in contact with our deepest meanings, becoming more aware of our own situation and experience. This self-awareness greatly enhances the balancing process, but also brings more color, meaning and purpose to our daily lives. The book gives some basic explanations of the balancing procedures. We invite you to join a TFH Workshop to learn and practice the concepts and techniques of TFH.

Download or read book Blindsight written by Peter Watts and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Book excerpt: A stunning star-crossed love story set against the glitz and grit of 1980s New York City When Elise Perez meets Jamey Hyde on a desolate winter afternoon, fate implodes, and neither of their lives will ever be the same. Although they are next-door neighbors in New Haven, they come from different worlds. Elise grew up in a housing project without a father and didn’t graduate from high school; Jamey is a junior at Yale, heir to a private investment bank fortune and beholden to high family expectations. Nevertheless, the attraction is instant, and what starts out as sexual obsession turns into something greater, stranger, and impossible to ignore. The couple moves to Manhattan in search of a new life, and White Fur follows them as they wander through Newport mansions and East Village dives, WASP-establishment yacht clubs and the grimy streets below Canal Street, fighting the forces determined to keep them apart. White Fur combines the electricity of Less Than Zero with the timeless intensity of Romeo and Juliet in this searing, gorgeously written novel that perfectly captures the ferocity of young love.

Book excerpt: To be a musician is to "speak music." When you have something to say and the means to say it, your gestures and sounds become both meaningful and free.

Integrated Practice comes with more than a hundred and fifty exercises demonstrated by video and audio clips on an extensive companion website that will inform your daily practice, improvising, rehearsing, and performing. With this array of resources for every learning style, Integrated Practice is the essential handbook to personal achievement in successful, expressive musical performance.
