You Can Fight For Your Life

Health, Mind & Body

The reason why clinical science has not solved the riddle of cancer may not lie totally within the realm of the laboratory. It may lie in part in the mind and emotions of the patient.After two decades of research and psychotherapeutic work with cancer patients, Lawrence LeShan offers new evidence and startling insights into why some individuals get cancer while others do not--and why some are able to fight successfully for their lives while others rapidly succumb to the disease. Dr. LeShan has accumulated strong evidence that the mind can make the body receptive to cancer--and that the mind is also capable of fighting back.This is a book of hope. For while cancer kills, it can also be killed. You Can Fight For Your Life is a major humanistic work by an author with a passionate commitment to life.

Reader's Digest Everyday Health Hacks

Health, Mind & Body

More than 500 little tweaks to your routine that are scientifically proven to help you lose weight, prevent disease, and even wipe years from your appearance. If you’ve burned out on the paleo or keto diets and have fallen off the Peloton and HIIT wagon, try Health Hacks. These simple tips and tricks allow to sneak healthy choices into your day without overhauling your lifestyle. For example: * Start your day with a cup of hot cocoa while you tackle your most creative work. Research finds that one cup of cocoa a day for five days can increase blood flow in the brain, hands, and legs, and helps regulate blood pressure. *Move your bed away from any outside walls. This will help cut down on noise, which a Spanish study found could be a significant factor in insomnia. *When you’re nervous, tighten and release your abdominal muscles over and over again. You’ll strengthen your abs and take your mind off your anxiety at the same time. Like all Reader's Digest health books, the information in the book is reliable and based on authoritative information but presented in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement way.

Craniosacral Chi Kung

Health, Mind & Body

Craniosacral therapy and Chi Kung practices to harmonize emotions, release chronic tensions, and optimize the flow of energy • Provides illustrated instructions for movement exercises, breathwork, self-massage, and emotional intelligence meditations to free the flow of energy in the body • Reveals clear parallels between the craniosacral rhythm and the flow of chi • Explains how to release energetic blockages and emotional and physiological knots, activate the energetic pumps of the 3 tan tiens, and tap in to the Cosmic Flow Exploring the connections between Western craniosacral therapy and Chi Kung, Taoist master Mantak Chia and craniosacral instructor Joyce Thom detail movement exercises, breathwork practices, self-massage techniques, and focused meditations from Taoist and other wisdom traditions to release and harmonize the flow of energy in the body and optimize our potential for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The authors link the craniosacral rhythm--the gentle flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the head (cranium) to the tailbone (sacrum)--and the flow of chi throughout the body, circulated by the pumps of the three tan tiens. They explain how these subtle energetic flows indicate the harmony or disharmony of the whole person and are greatly affected by physical traumas, chronic tensions, and unresolved emotions. For example, the psoas muscle, known in Taoism as the muscle of the Soul, connects the spine to the legs and is the first muscle to contract when anger or fear triggers our fight-or-flight response. Often a storehouse of subconscious stressors, this muscle’s sensitivity is connected to many common ailments like back pain. Providing step-by-step illustrated exercise instructions, the authors explain how to identify and unwind energetic blockages and emotional and physiological knots. They explore emotional intelligence exercises for tuning in to our hearts so we can listen to our bodies’ messages and learn to relieve related emotional burdens. They also reveal how to activate the cranial, respiratory/cardiac, and sacral pumps of the three tan tiens to optimize the body’s energetic flow and explain how, when our energy is flowing freely, we can enter the Cosmic Flow--a state of calm well-being and extraordinary creativity where we find ourselves truly at one with the universe.

Een pleidooi voor echt eten

Health, Mind & Body

EET NOOIT IETS WAT JE OVERGROOTMOEDER NIET ALS VOEDSEL ZOU HERKENNEN! Vroeger wisten mensen hoe ze moesten eten, maar de dieetregels die van generatie op generatie zijn doorgegeven, zijn verwrongen en vervormd door de marketeers van de voedingsmiddelenindustrie, door zogenaamde voedingsdeskundigen en door de media. Het gevolg is dat we dolen door een landschap van voedselachtige substanties die om het hardst gillen dat ze goed voor ons zijn. Echt eten verdwijnt uit beeld om te worden vervangen door `voedingsstoffen . En deze producten zijn juist slecht voor de gezondheid. We zouden minder eten moeten kopen en er meer voor moeten betalen. Daar worden we zelf beter van, maar ook het milieu, ons ecosysteem en onze samenleving. Door wereldwijd te kijken naar traditionele diëten kunnen we zelf een evenwichtig en gezond eetgedrag terugvinden. Een pleidooi voor echt eten wordt wereldwijd vertaald. In Amerika staat het boek sinds verschijning op nummer 1 van de bestsellerlijsten.

Neurodynamics

Health, Mind & Body

Neurodynamics combines the latest discoveries in science, anatomy, and mindfulness to form a new understanding of human awareness in action. What good does it do to stretch, relax, or strengthen muscles if we don't know how these muscles are actually designed to function? To be sound, any physical therapy method must be based on scientific knowledge of how the musculoskeletal system works, on the role of proprioception in gaining awareness and control over this system, and on the process of becoming more conscious in action. Written for both beginning and advanced students, the book offers in-depth explanations of the theory of neurodynamics together with illustrations outlining steps of development and practical exercises. Over 100 years ago, F. Matthias Alexander made a series of discoveries about how the body works in action that made it possible for the first time to become conscious of what we're doing in activity. In Neurodynamics, author Theodore Dimon, who has taught and written about Alexander's work for many years, seeks to put together a coherent theory and curriculum for the Alexander Technique and explain how this system works in scientific terms. Neurodynamics develops and expands on Alexander's teachings and gives practical explanations that form the basis not just for a method but for a truly educational theory of how the mind and body work in action.
