EFT:
Adventures in EFT
& The Advanced Patterns of EFT:
As an energy improving process, I have found EFT to be just as effective
if not more effective than most other energy medicine and there are two very good books that I would recommend. There is, Adventures in EFT for beginners, and The Advanced Patterns of EFT that is suitable for those more familiar with “energy medicine”.Click

The Health Benefits
of Garlic I've been using fresh garlic (1 clove daily on a cracker/toast) for the past 5 years and the worst I've experienced, is the onset of a cold, that was halted in it's tracks when I made a garlic and ginger concoction in our juicer. How do I know that I would have remained cold-free anyway? I guess I don't know, but I will keep using the garlic

The Three Pillars
of Zen by Roshi Philip Kapleau
Being
a Zen pracitioner, my opinion is that The Three Pillars of Zen is
an indispensible guide to anyone who wishes to follow this path.
It is not suitable for everyone, because discipline and focus is
needed, but the late Roshi Philip Kapleau, writes in simple, everyday
language giving instructions on zazen (Zen meditiation), on what
difficulties to expect and how to deal with them, an case histories
of students who have walked on this remarkable path towards spiritual
enlightenment. Click

Hara: Hara, The Vital Centre of Man
by Karlfried Graf Von Dürckheim
As you would expect
this is another book that is very Zen-related. Its author Karlfried Graf Von Dürckheim (1896-1988) was a
philosopher and psychotherapist who lived in Japan learning the techniques of
zazen (meditation) from Zen masters. A technique that focuses on the hara
(lower abdomen) that is equivalent to focusing on the centre of Self – or True
Essence of Being. I would think, that
living to the age of 92, as many Zen masters tend to do, he learned something
of considerable value for living in today’s modern world. Click here,

Zen Dawn in the West by Roshi Philip Kapleau
Where the Three Pillars of Zen provided instruction in
the method of Zen Buddhism, Zen Dawn in the West reflects on the effect that
Zen practice has had on American and European students, outlining their
reactions from probing questions to doubts in their ability to reach
enlightenment. This is followed by individual unique descriptions of
transcending the everyday, thinking mind and realising enlightenment. Click

The Tibetan Art
of Living (Wise Body, Wise Mind, Wise Life by Christopher
Hansard
Chrstopher Hansard,
author of The Tibetan Art of Living, asks us to treat his work primarily
as a book of exploration. I found this book on the ancient
system of Tibetan healing to be an excellent read, some things I
agreed with, some things I did not, and although I read it from
cover to cover, I wouldn't regard it as a book to be read in this
way, but to refer back to from time to time. Click

Living Druidry Magical
Spirituality for the Wild Soul by
Emma Restall Orr
There is something in Emma Restall’s Orr’s
Living Druidry that appeals strongly to me as a Zen practitioner. Firstly it is
the graphic dream-like descriptions of her trance-like experiences she has in
her communion with nature. And then there’s her commitment to share “to give to
others what we have been given”. A vow not dissimilar to that which is uttered
by a Zen practitioner before his/her zazen (Zen meditation, whose ultimate goal
is enlightenment). Click
