El Morya form Agni Yoga: "They will ask, "How can we best serve on Earth to effect the utmost benefit at present?" One must restore the health of Earth. By innumerable ways, one must carry out the world task of regeneration. One must bear in mind that people have destroyed the resources of Earth without mercy. They are ready to poison the earth and the air. They have laid waste the forests, these storehouses of prana. They have decimated animal life, forgetting that animal energy nourishes the earth. They believe that untried chemical compounds can take the place of prana and earthly emanations. They plunder the natural resources, unmindful that the balance must be maintained. They do not ponder over the cause of the catastrophe of Atlantis. They do not consider the fact that chemical ingredients must be tested over the course of a century, for a single generation cannot determine the symptoms of evolution or involution. People like to calculate races and sub-races, but the very simple idea of calculating the plundering of the planet never occurs to them. They think that by some act of mercy the weather will clear, and people will become prosperous! But the problem of restoring health does not enter their thoughts. Hence, let us love all creation!" Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 630.

Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings by Lynn GrabhornV. McCowen, freelance reviewer: "And now for something completely different -- a self-help book that gives us a radical, here-to-fore unthinkable, seemingly too-good-to-be-true path to follow, finally acquiring what we all want out of life. ... The book promises to set the self-improvement genre on its ear with this unorthodox theory: we create our lives through how we feel. That's right, forget positive thinking, visualization, mind over matter, and all those other well-worn cure-alls for what ails the human race. What we feel is what we get! ...

Eat Right for Your Type by Peter J. D'Adamo, Catherine Whitney. As you may notice there is a preponderance of Oriental-Macrobiotic type books here. I believe there are no fixed rules. This book is an important part of the mix. Blending this one, macrobiotics, zone diet and low-carb diets is the best route until you find the balance that is right for you.

Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine by Harriet Beinfield, Efrem Korngold. From Publishers Weekly: Chinese medicine uses a variety of diagnostic techniques, such as observation, pulse-taking, and questioning, to determine a patient's type and optimal therapy. Here, two Western practitioners describe for Western lay readers philosophy, diagnostic techniques, and possible treatments. They also show how an understanding of the five Chinese elements--wood, fire, earth, metal, and water--enables one to begin to understand one's own patterns of physical and emotional health.

Chinese System Of Food Cures: Prevention & Remedies by Henry C. Lu. Amazon Reviewer: As a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, I'm constantly on the look out for interesting books and every so often I come across a book which opens up a whole new horizon. As many of us know, Chinese herbal medicine is based on the principles of Yin and Yang, chi, heat and cold, dampness and dryness. All these can be in balance or out of balance, and herbs are selected to increase heat or reduce dampness, enhance kidney or liver Yang or increase chi, depending on the individual's needs. This book describes the use of common foods instead of herbs. Or rather, it describes the foods as herbs. ...

Ayurveda and the Mind by David Frawley. Amazon reviewer: This is an EXCELLENT book. Abstract and very deep truths are lucidly conveyed without sacrificing intricacy or impact. If you are interested in psychology, spirituality, or Ayurveda, this is a wonderful, unique book. Dr. Frawley is extremely thorough and brings much integrity to his work. This book may be a bit much for some, but those truly interested in furthering their awareness will find many treasures in these pages. If you are looking for an intro to ayurveda, start with something else, like Dr. Frawley's "Yoga and Ayurveda."

Yoga and Ayurveda by David Frawley. Amazon reviewer: This is the first book on this subject. I am a serious yoga practicioner and so far have never seen anything like this: so well connecting Ayurveda medicine knowledge with especially Hatha and Kundalini yoga. You can see that the auther is an adept, informing us about the working of prana in the subtle body. The book contains to my knowledge the most clear and complete explanation for a serious practitioner the inner alchemy of yogic transformation. This is not a book for a beginner! It explains everything about prana, ojas and tejas, vital information on pranayama, pratyahara, chakras and kundalini and all in connection with Ayurveda. This is the first book of the kind!

Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs by Claire Kowalchik (Editor), William H. Hylton (Editor), Anna Carr, Catherine Cassidy, Ellen Cohen, Alice Decenzo, Marjorie Hunt, Judith Benn Hurley, Susan Milius, Kim Wilson, Frank Fretz (Illustrator), Alison Miksch. Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs is the best herb resource I have ever found, and that is saying a lot, since I own over twenty, and have checked many others out from my local library. It is thorough, interesting, more complete than any other text (no herb book can be complete - it would be thicker than a telephone book!), and always enjoyable to read.

Asian Longevity Secrets: Seven Breakthrough Steps to Youthful Health and Vitality by Ping Wu, Tai Chi Tzu

The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto; Amazon description: The Hidden Messages in Water is an eye-opening theory showing how water is deeply connected to people's individual and collective consciousness. Drawing from his own research, scientific researcher, healer, and popular lecturer Dr. Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward it. Music, visual images, words written on paper, and photographs also have an impact on the crystal structure. Emoto theorizes that since water has the ability to receive a wide range of frequencies, it can also reflect the universe in this manner. He found that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns, while polluted water and water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. ... Recently came out in this smaller paperback edition. I used Emoto's research in my article on music: (Why 'Good Vibrations' may be Bad) . His findings were also featured in the movie "What the Bleep." At only $11.86 at Amazon, this is a must for everyone's library. Editor

The Miracle of Water (Hardcover) by Masaru Emoto--
Publisher's Description: Masaru Emoto has photographed thousands of water crystals throughout his years of research, yet few have been as beautiful and life affirming as those formed from the words "love and gratitude." In The Miracle of Water, Dr. Emoto demonstrates how water's unique role in transporting the natural vibration of these words can help you welcome change and live a more positive and happy life. Dr. Emoto also explores the significance of words and language, their origins, and their impact on water. He introduces and explains the key concept of resonance -- the vehicle through which life-force energy is transmitted. From this knowledge, he draws out lessons that we can apply to our lives to reap the benefits of positive resonance, including more harmonious relationships, restored health, and improved communications. This thoughtful book includes new and extraordinary water-crystal photographs that provide convincing reasons for all of us to choose positive words and strive for perfect resonance for a more healthy, peaceful, and happy life.

The Okinawa Diet Plan : Get Leaner, Live Longer, and Never Feel Hungry; by BRADLEY J. WILLCOX, D. CRAIG WILLCOX. Reviewer on Amazon: The author describes both macro and micronutrients. Macronutrients provide energy for the body. Micronutrients deliver vitamins and mineral content for our health. Carbohydrates, protein , fats and alcohol are also macronutrients. A PWV index was devised to measure increased blood flow through the arteries. Cardio biomarkers are anti-oxidants, veggies and Vitamin E. Omega 3 lowers LDL and increases the HDL. Conversely, deep fried foods increase LDL and decrease HDL. The author describes how eggs increase protein levels, B12, D and folate. Tumeric eliminates excess fat and acts as a powerful antioxidant to reduce inflammation. This book is a treasure chest of alternative medicinal information written for the benefit of the layperson.
The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health; by PhD, T. Colin Campbell, Thomas M. Campbell II, John Robbins-- Editorial Reviews: Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.
China Syndrome: the true story of the 21st century's first great epidemic-9/8 New Statesman, Reviewed by Margaret Cook:
China Syndrome: the true story of the 21st century's first great epidemic,by Karl Taro Greenfeld-- Much is made in the west of China's booming economy. But there are inevitable downsides to what has been described as the "greatest mass urbanisation in the history of the world". In China Syndrome, Karl Taro Greenfeld probes one of them: the Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic of 2003, in which an estimated 884 people died, and which only narrowly escaped becoming a devastating pandemic of 15-20 per cent mortality. It is thought that Sars originated in the city of Shenzen, in southern China's Guangdong province. Early on, Greenfeld swoops in on the aptly named Fang Lin, an illegal immigrant to the city from the countryside, who finds a job handling and slaughtering exotic wild animals for restaurants. "Wild flavour", as it is known, is an important ingredient in China's new culture of conspicuous consumption. Thanks to lax regulation, the trade in snakes, camels, otters, monkeys, badgers, bats, pangolins, geese, civets, wild boars - anything that can be trapped or hunted - has become a multimillion-dollar industry. Animals are kept in filthy conditions in the backs of restaurant kitchens, where they are butchered only after diners have made their choice. Fang Lin would emerge after a night's work covered in the blood and excreta of panicked animals, and would chain-smoke to kill the stench. It is in this overcrowded, pollution-ridden environment that a virus hops over the species barrier, from civet cats to humans. Sars is born. ...
The Four Temperaments, A Rediscovery of the Ancient Way of Understanding Health and Character; by Randy Rolfe-- Book Review by William House, Reverse Spins: There are quite a few books and studies on personality types, even the four temperaments mentioned above. I recently read this one. I liked it because the author makes a seemless connection between ancient Greek thought and today's latest advances. I especially liked her focusing on diet as it affects the four types: phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholic and choleric. Her easy but thorough tests and natural writing style made it fun to read. I appreciated her very positive approach. Turns out I'm the creative type which needs caffeine, sweets and carbs to fuel the thought processes but an excess of these is not good. We always tend to to go overboard on things we think we need. I've made a vow to cut back thanks to Ms. Rolfe.
The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton;The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure by Chris Prentiss; A Book Review by William House, (Editor, Reverse Spins)
Spirits. The name itself conjures up evocative images. There's the dictionary definition: DISTILLATE 1: as (1) : the liquid containing ethyl alcohol and water that is distilled from an alcoholic liquid or mash -- often used in plural (2) : any of various volatile liquids obtained by distillation or cracking (as of petroleum, shale, or wood) -- often used in plural b : a usually volatile organic solvent (as an alcohol, ester, or hydrocarbon). Then there are the more apt connotations. The notion that alcohol somehow usurps or destroys the spiritual side of man—even his will power and self control. At its worst it could mean some sort of possession involving entities or disembodied spirits, which would explain why addiction is so hard to stop. ... more >>
The Genie in Your Genes by Dawson Church. For those interested in cutting edge healing and the new sciences, The Genie in Your Genes is perhaps the best book on the subject, even better than Biology of Belief by Lipton, although you really should read both. The reason being, Dawson Church brings together all the latest research on how our thoughts and emotions affect our DNA and cells. Eminently readable and actually quite inspiring, I recommend it to all. Read the glowing comments at Amazon if you remain unconvinced. Editor, Reverse Spins

Breaking the Code: A Layperson's Guide to Unlocking the Secret World of Medical Terminology by Dr. Richard Schulze; Editorial Reviews: BREAKING THE CODE is all about giving the patient MORE TIME. No decision has to be made in five minutes or even that day. Take the time to look up what the words are the you do not understand. Take the time to get familiar with the organs and systems in question, how they work and what they do. Take the time to decipher your test results and possibly even get a second opinion, but better yet, consider an alternative / natural opinion. There are always options. ...

New: The Mystic Cookbook: The Secret Alchemy of Food-11/28
By Denise and Meadow Linn, From Hay House;
Editor, Reverse Spins: Denise Linn has a long history of caring about our emotional, physical and spiritual well being. My favorite book of hers is called "Sacred Space" It sits alongside other spritual books that I treasure. This time she and her sister have brought that intuitive caring into the kitchen. Sometimes we forget to bring that buddhic mindfulness into the food prep area and the dining room. "The Mystical Cookbook" will show you how to elevate the simplest of chores and bring a sense of sacredness into cooking which can become a spiritual calling. Oh, and lest I forget, there are a cornucopia of wonderful recipes as well.

New: What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses by Daniel Chamovitz -- Release date: May 22, 2012 -- Amazon Description: How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it actually feel an insect’s tiny, spindly legs? And how do cherry blossoms know when to bloom? Can they actually remember the weather? For centuries we have collectively marveled at plant diversity and form—from Charles Darwin’s early fascination with stems to Seymour Krelborn’s distorted doting in Little Shop of Horrors. But now, in What a Plant Knows, the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an intriguing and scrupulous look at how plants themselves experience the world—from the colors they see to the schedules they keep. Highlighting the latest research in genetics and more, he takes us into the inner lives of plants and draws parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. Chamovitz shows how plants know up from down, how they know when a neighbor has been infested by a group of hungry beetles, and whether they appreciate the Led Zeppelin you’ve been playing for them or if they’re more partial to the melodic riffs of Bach. Covering touch, sound, smell, sight, and even memory, Chamovitz encourages us all to consider whether plants might even be aware of their surroundings. A rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb, What a Plant Knows offers us a greater understanding of science and our place in nature.
