Health, Mind & Body

There is a large controversy surrounding the art of cleaning your hair naturally. While many claim that it can be done, stories abound about people who tried--and stank.Let’s face it, the very thought of not using shampoo on your head is disgusting!In my quest for a simpler life I stumbled upon a number of folks who claim that cleaning your hair without shampoo is not only possible, but that it is better for your hair than lathering it with all of those chemicals, but in my opinion many of those reports were biased. They saw what they wanted to see, and didn’t report any downsides to eliminating shampoo from their lives.In search of the truth, I decided to perform my own experiment. I decided to see for myself whether one could successfully clean their hair without shampoo, so for six months I resolved to eliminate shampoo from my life.The results were surprising.In this book you will discover:* Can hair cleaned without shampoo pass a cleanliness inspection?* Does the texture of your hair change when you eliminate shampoo?* Can you clean your hair with just water?* Does baking soda actually clean your hair?* Can you clean color-treated hair without shampoo (and not hurt your dye job)?* How can you condition your hair naturally?* Benefits to cleaning your hair without shampoo* Challenges to cleaning your hair without shampoo* Dry shampoo alternatives* And moreThis book contains the unbiased account of how I cleaned my hair without shampoo for six months, and reveals my personal conclusion about whether hair can be successfully cleaned without shampoo. As a bonus I have included the posts on my website that were written during this experiment.If you have ever wondered about the possibility, this book is for you.

Come together

Health, Mind & Body

Dopo il successo internazionale di Come as You Are, Emily Nagoski torna con un libro destinato a diventare un nuovo punto di riferimento per chi cerca relazioni sessuali più autentiche e durature. Come Together è una guida brillante e accessibile in cui, con ironia e competenza, l'autrice smonta i miti sul desiderio spontaneo e mostra come il piacere – non la frequenza – sia il vero fulcro del benessere sessuale. Attraverso neuroscienze, psicologia e profonda empatia, l'autrice esplora il ruolo del contesto emotivo, distingue tra desiderio spontaneo e reattivo mostrando come siano entrambi pienamente validi, e propone delle strategie per creare un contesto condiviso favorevole al piacere, superando stress, insicurezze, blocchi emotivi e culturali legati alla sessualità, fino a costruire una comunicazione autentica e libera da giudizi (e pre-giudizi). Storie vere, esercizi pratici e intuizioni illuminanti offrono strumenti concreti per migliorare la comunicazione di coppia e coltivare una sessualità che duri nel tempo e che sia realmente autentica, gioiosa e sostenibile.

Bevidsthed, bevidsthed, bevidsthed

Health, Mind & Body

Anthony De Mello er en af de sjældne kapaciteter, der får os til at åbne øjnene. Han påpeger klarsynet og præcist tilværelsens absurditeter og udstiller det sindsyge ræs, de fleste af os er en del af og tager for givet. Ifølge De Mello er der ingen, der kan vise os, hvordan vi skal leve, for det vil blot være en ny teknik, en ny programmering, men vi kan lære at iagttage os selv og på den måde bringe os ud af illusionernes fængsel, se klarere, se verden som den smukke symfoni, den altid har været.

Pi Gu Chi Kung

Health, Mind & Body

A step-by-step guide to the Taoist fasting practice of Pi Gu • Explains how you do not stop eating with this fasting practice and details the simple pi gu diet • Illustrates the chewing and chi kung practices to accompany pi gu, for natural chi energy production • Reveals how Pi Gu Chi Kung activates the body’s natural healing abilities, accelerates the elimination of toxins, reduces appetite and cravings, and enables you to draw energies from the Earth and Universe Pi gu is an ancient Taoist method of fasting for spiritual and healing purposes. Unlike traditional fasting, you do not need to stop eating when practicing pi gu. Used by ancient Taoist masters during their months or years of solitary retreat in pursuit of enlightenment, the practice centers on a simple diet of fruits, teas, nuts, and eggs paired with special chewing techniques and chi kung exercises. During the pi gu state, the need for food decreases yet the body’s energy levels actually increase. The body gathers chi not from food but from chi kung and the “golden elixir” produced by the pi gu chewing practices. The chi produced through pi gu charges your internal organs, activating the body’s natural healing abilities and enabling you to draw energies from the Earth and Universe. In the pi gu state the body automatically balances itself, the mind is more relaxed, and sleep improves. The pause in normal eating makes the body’s cells more sensitive, accelerating the elimination of toxins. The stomach reduces in size, flattening the belly, eliminating cravings, decreasing appetite, and naturally producing weight loss. The body’s meridians stay open, making it easier to attune to meditation, chi kung, and energies from the cosmos. Providing a step-by-step guide to Pi Gu Chi Kung, Master Mantak Chia and coauthor Christine Harkness-Giles explain the pi gu diet, provide immortality tea recipes, detail the pi gu chewing exercises, and illustrate the corresponding chi kung energy exercises. They also explain the use of pi gu during darkness retreats to enhance spiritual awareness and increase mental powers and wisdom.

A Parent's Guide to Healthy Children

Health, Mind & Body

All good parents share a purpose: to protect their precious gift and raise vibrant, healthy, and happy children. Parents are their children’s best advocates, and they must be able to make health decisions with confidence. Unfortunately, we live in a toxic world, and our children are getting sicker and sicker. Currently, more than half of them live with chronic conditions that negatively affect their quality of life—a fact strongly linked to a medical paradigm that emphasizes high-tech and pharmaceutical interventions over healthier options. If we are to turn this situation around—and make our children healthy again—parents clearly need a better way.A Parent’s Guide offers that better way, empowering new and expectant parents with gentle, natural and holistic ways to promote their children’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being—from preconception through early childhood. Readers will learn how to deal effectively with pregnancy discomfort, make evidence-based birth choices that do not induce trauma, choose health-promoting foods and supplements that provide optimal nutrition for their child’s development, and eliminate or minimize hidden toxic exposures. Other topics vitally important for keeping kids’ development on track include the importance of infant reflexes, how to promote and maintain the diversity of a child’s microbiome, and how to spot “red flags”—early signs of immune or neurological dysfunction.Perhaps most importantly, this guide will help parents confidently navigate common childhood illnesses. That confidence means they will not be at the mercy of medical practitioners more concerned with “standard of care” than the health of the children in their care.

All Life Is Yoga: True Leadership

Health, Mind & Body

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. "...the individuals who will most help the future of humanity in the new age will be those who will recognise a spiritual evolution as the destiny and therefore the great need of the human being. Even as the animal man has been largely converted into a mentalised and at the top a highly mentalised humanity, so too now or in the future an evolution or conversion – it does not greatly matter which figure we use or what theory we adopt to support it – of the present type of humanity into a spiritualised humanity is the need of the race and surely the intention of Nature; that evolution or conversion will be their ideal and endeavour. They will be comparatively indifferent to particular belief and form and leave men to resort to the beliefs and forms to which they are naturally drawn. They will only hold as essential the faith in this spiritual conversion, the attempt to live it out and whatever knowledge – the form of opinion into which it is thrown does not so much matter – can be converted into this living. They will especially not make the mistake of thinking that this change can be effected by machinery and outward institutions; they will know and never forget that it has to be lived out by each man inwardly or it can never be made a reality for the kind. They will adopt in its heart of meaning the inward view of the East which bids man seek the secret of his destiny and salvation within; but also they will accept, though with a different turn given to it, the importance which the West rightly attaches to life and to the making the best we know and can attain the general rule of all life." - Sri Aurobindo
