Protect Yourself from Electromagnetic Pollution by Using Crystals
by Barbara NewerlaPublished by Findhorn Press. 2010. £4.99. ISBN 978-1-84409-509-4.
Crystal expert and building biologist Barbara Newerla reveals how specific crystals can help us and what they do (and what they can't do) in Protecting Yourself from Electromagnetic Pollution by Using Crystals. This short book (60 pages) has useful advice on which crystals to use for additional protection/boundary setting, for strengthening life energy/power and vitality, for strengthening the centre/stability, for strengthening the nervous system, to boost metabolism and aid detoxification/elimination.
Crystals can help with the effects of radiation and electromagnetic pollution, now more prevalent in all of ours lives with the explosive proliferation of radio-technology for private and business use including mobile phones, wi-fi and Bluetooth technologies. This abundant 'pulsed high frequency radiation' and the effect on human health is controversial and there continues to be a lot of misunderstanding about the use of crystals for protection.
Electromagnetic pollution refers to the radiation given off by all man-made electrical appliances and devices. It actually consists of two different types of field: magnetic and electrical. The active electromagnetic 'field' is always present in our homes, offices and public spaces. We can't see it but human beings do feel its stressful effects. These active fields are created whenever and wherever an electrical appliance or transmitter is transmitting. It comes through electrical apparatus or appliances and their cables and leads and through the sockets in the walls, railways and tramlines.
Crystals work in an energetic way rather than physical and they therefore can support our energetic body from 'EP' and work optimally when we remove as many of the 'coarse' interfering physical stimuli that blocks our ability to react and resonate with our own energetic systems.

Healing with Source: A Spiritual Guide to Mind-Body Medicine
by Dave MarkowitzPublished by Findhorn Press. 2010. £8.99. ISBN 978-1-84409-511-7.
Whereas many healing modalities focus on the symptoms, Healing with Source focuses on reversing the causative factors. In fact, if you focus on the symptom, the Law of Attraction would say you'll only get more of the symptom! At best, typical modalities can only provide temporary pain management. While that's not a bad thing in and of itself, true, permanent healing only happens when you reverse the causative factors.
Dave Markowitz is a medical intuitive, channel of Source energy and information, and a premier voice in the fields of energy medicine and spirituality. This conversational-style book gently invites you into his paradigm-shifting understandings of health, prevention, and healing. Healing with Source posits that humans are responsible for their own health as well as pain and illness; that blame placed outside the self is disempowering and doesn't lead to spiritual growth or healing. It even goes deep within unquestioned paradigms of societal norms; for example, suggesting that punitive punishment doesn't work because it does not address the underlying causes of the offence.
Healing with Source suggests that we can co-create a more harmonious external existence by transforming our inner world using the "Five Steps to Healing" and also includes a channelled symbol that can be used to transmit a very high healing frequency, that of the Source. Detailed instructions are given to allow maximum effectiveness, with a link to an MP3 on Dave's website including subliminal summaries of the main concepts under a bed of soothing, ambient music.

The BEDA Method: How to Protect your Health for Life
by Mike Clark NMQAA Dip Official Buteyko2010. £9.95 www.bedamethod.com
The drug-free Russian method that can help fight stress and other conditions
Mike Clark has written a book on how different conditions can be eased without the need for drugs. The book describes the BEDA Method, which incorporates better breathing, exercise, diet and attitude, and Mr Clark, 42, of west Hull, believes it will help people take control of their own health.
His work is based upon the Buteyko Method from Russia, which he said has helped thousands of asthmatics to go medication-free and tackles other health problems, such as obesity.
Mr Clark, who has had support from the Hull Enterprise Partnership, a free business advice consultancy part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, became a Buteyko breathing therapist in 2000. He then had further training at the Buteyko Institute in Moscow.
The book also includes help and advice on changing lifestyle choices such as smoking, over-eating and excessive drinking.
Mr Clark said: "The reason this book makes a difference is that when people change their attitude to accept their health is their most precious gift, their motivation changes.
"Rather than being a victim, waiting for an illness to occur, they can take responsibility for their own health and learn to do what is best for their health.
"I believe my book can help to do that."

Holographic Breathing and Birth
In Holographic Breathing participants learn how their pelvis breathes and moves. In this process the pelvis becomes a very fluid structure. In childbirth it is helpful to be aware of this and allow the pelvis to breathe with the baby.During childbirth this breathing gently unfolds in its own way. Most mothers say that this takes away over 60% of the pain of labour, or changes it into something more enjoyable.
It has been long known by midwives that there is a strong relationship between the jaw and pelvis; a loose jaw also helps the pelvis become loose. This is aided in this breathing system as there is a gentle movement of the jaw with the breath.
The nerves that experience pain in the uterus and vagina are the same nerves that experience orgasm. Being able to relax into child birth can transform this pain into something more orgasmic.
In Holographic Breathing, the mouth, jaw, body, and pelvis are in a gentle flux with the breath. This gives mothers something to be with, it can help them breathe and relax through birth. It makes child birth more enjoyable, more meditative, more orgasmic.
There are Free Audio Seminars to learn holographic Breathing and also Free Audio Lectures on Child Birth using Holographic Breathing.

Cinnamon Slippers - Spicy Fashion
Shoes and slippers made from cinnamon might sound a bit odd; however, cinnamon has been used by the Vietnamese to make shoes for centuries and is rich in therapeutic essential oils. Cinnamon's health benefits are well documented and include improving energy levels, having anti-bacterial[1] properties and anti-septic effects. Cinnamon has been used as a traditional stimulant in Chinese medicine, having a warming effect on the body and is used for conditions caused by coldness, especially to the fingers and toes. This makes it an ideal material for your feet - helping keep them warm in winter, hygienic in summer and your body and feet relaxed and energized year round.
Cinnamon insoles were clinically trialed in a hospital in Vietnam[2]; the trial confirmed that they helped with conditions such as fatigue, perspiration, foot odour, cold feet and toes, and dry and cracked skin. They are especially useful for their anti-bacterial properties.
This unique footwear is now available in the UK for the first time. The new Aroma Range from Natur Boutique includes slippers with a cinnamon base for winter and sandals and flip flops for the summer. The range contains products made from top quality Vietnamese cinnamon, which contains the highest amount of essential oils of any cinnamon species.
