A Call for Connection:
Solutions for Creating a Whole New Culture
by Gail Bernice Holland
This book’s prime focus is wholeness. It
explores how schools,
businesses, our health care system — all
segments of society — have
begun to adopt a whole systems approach,
specifically fostering the best
in human nature in order to create a more
unified, compassionate way of
life.

 The
Positive Futures Network has just released its second book,
"Making Peace: Healing a Violent World",
with answers to one of the most compelling
questions of our time ... Is Peace
Possible?
To many, war seems the only way to achieve
security, prosperity or democracy. As people around the world are surrounded
by threats of violence, we must remember that there is a better way.
Within the pages of Making Peace: Healing a
Violent World, peacemakers such as Joanna Macy, Wendell Berry, Thomas Berry,
Troy Chapman, Walter Wink, Jamal
Rahman, Walden Bello, Michael Nagler and others tell stories of creating
alternatives to violence, hate, and domination. Their stories suggest that
we needn't stand by as violence permeates our media, homes, schools, and
international affairs. We will never have a world without conflict. But if
we choose, we can rise to the challenge of peace. The consequences of
choosing otherwise are becoming unbearable.

 The
Vivaxis Connection:
Healing Through Earth Energies
by
Judy Jacka
Many years ago, a researcher named
Frances Nixon discovered and studied a phenomenon she named Vivaxis. Vivaxis
means "the axis of life" and it refers to our personal energy fields.
Judy Jacka, N.D. studied with Nixon and
has continued her research. In The Vivaxis Connection, she describes just
how each individual is connected to Earth energies, how the connections can
become disturbed, and how they can be restored. She says "one of the main
aims of this book is to train you to use your own subtle energy body as the
instrument for finding, comparing, assessing, and using energies."

Awakening
Intuition:
Using Your Mind-Body Network for Insight and Healing
by Mona
Lisa Schulz
Mona Lisa
Schulz is a psychiatrist and a neuroscientist with degrees from Brown
University and Boston University's School of Medicine. She is also a
"medical intuitive." When traditional medicine failed to cure her of a
debilitating illness, she credited her intuitive insights with literally
saving her life.
The experience proved to her that medical wisdom is found not only in
clinics and classrooms, but also within our bodies. In
Awakening Intuition, Schulz teaches how to "read" sensations,
movements, and memories toward developing intuition.
Manifesto
for a New Medicine:
Your Guide to Healing Partnerships and the Wise Use of Alternative
Therapies
by James S.
Gordon
More than a
third of Americans have begun to explore alternative techniques such
as meditation, homeopathy, and herbalism, but they often don’t know
which approaches to trust, or what accounts for their effectiveness.
James Gordon synthesizes the best of conventional scientific medicine
with the best of alternative techniques, and offers a guide that
separates what’s worthwhile from what is simply well promoted. He
discusses successful case studies to help readers take charge of their
own health care.
Meditation as
Medicine
 By Dharma
Singh Khalsa, MD & Cameron Stauth
Reviewed by Daniel Redwood
Meditation as Medicine draws on Dharma Singh Khalsa’s 25 years
as a practitioner of holistic medicine and kundalini yoga. More of a
“how to” book than his earlier work,
Brain Longevity, it offers extensive instruction on the
physical, mental, and spiritual exercises of kundalini yoga. Many are
for treatment of specific ills; all can be used on a path toward optimum
health. Meditation as Medicine has the potential to become an
important reference work for integrative health professionals as well as
individuals seeking to deepen their yoga and meditation practices.
Khalsa presents valuable material here that has not before been readily
available.

Spirit Body
Healing
By Michael Samuels & Mary Rockwood Lane
Based on a
seven-year peer-reviewed study on the effects of spirituality on healing at
the University of Florida, this book draws attention to the possibilities of
using inner tools to recover from life-threatening disease. Using guided
imagery and inward journeying, authors Michael Samuels and Mary
Rockwood Lane have assisted numerous patients in taking control of their
own health, revealing the many wisdoms of the body. By bringing personal
spirituality and modern medicine closer to one another, they offer a recipe
of hope, “like a prescription,” they say, to those facing illness.

People know the ugly side of human nature. We want
to be shown beauty, what we can be. Good news isn’t an escape
from reality; it’s the best way to improve reality. When we read about
effective programs, we can replicate them. When we learn about ideas that
could change life for the better, we can take action. When we hear about
individuals who make a difference, we’re inspired.
