Here is an incredibly readable and profound way to participate in your life as a journey toward consciousness and personal fulfillment. Durrell uses familiar modern films such as Forrest Gump, Star Wars, The Fisher King, The Natural, Good Will Hunting, and Apocalypse Now as comparison points to the ancient story of Parzival, the foolish, sheltered youth who, through the pain of his journey from unconsciousness to consciousness, becomes first a Knight, and then the Grail King himself. Via this book, Durrell is handing you the key to finding your own Grail...

Humans. Men and women. Some skinny, some plump. Some hyper, some cool minded, some with a fluctuating mindset. Some creative, some perfectionists, some easy going. Some have a tough time fighting digestive disorders, some crib about skin afflictions, while some sniff and sneeze around frequently.
Trust it sounds familiar as you may yourself bear some of these traits. It is worth wondering why individuals have diverse personalities...

Reviewed by Gregory Shepherd, ATH Co-Editor of Books for Healing
A new collection crossed my path recently: Awake in the World: 108 Practices to Live a Divinely Inspired Life by Debra Moffitt. This wonderful collection presents a wide variety of healing opportunities in the form of short narratives that lead to concrete practices. The text asks readers to meditate on a particular theme and then suggests a ritual or healing practice to invite balance, sacredness or inspiration into their lives...

Reviewed by Matthew Welsh
According to psychotherapist Robert Augustus Masters, PhD, spiritual bypassing – the use of spiritual practices or beliefs to avoid dealing with painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs – is so pervasive that it goes largely unnoticed.
Robert’s new book, Spiritual Bypassing, casts a critical eye on our deeply entrenched misuse of spirituality, furthering the body of psychological insight into how we use (and abuse) our spiritual practice in often unconscious ways...

It’s 40 something chilly degrees outside combined with wet and muddy. I'm sitting in my green Dick's Sporting Goods chair watching my curly-headed 6-year-old knock around a sloshy brown soccer ball as spring oh-so-slowwwwly approaches in Ohio. I look around cautiously and inconspicuously remove my feet from my cozy, insulated, water repellant shoes. And, then, nonchalantly place my feet directly on the ground...

Reviewed by Donna Amrita Davidge, ATH Co-Editor of Yoga
Having studied Ashtanga since 1999, this book, Ashtanga Yoga - The Intermediate Series: Mythology, Anatomy and Practice by Gregor Maehle, immediately drew me in. Just viewing a few pages of it online I knew his information about yoga poses and specific anatomical tips would be invaluable. In this, his second book, he explains the "Mythology, Anatomy and Practice" as the title states. Maehle has obviously studied all aspects of yoga in depth and though this is a book on Ashtanga yoga, it is helpful that he has also studied Iyengar...

Books for Healing

This is the most genuine, information-rich, readable, and hopeful treasury of reflections on living and dying I have had the pleasure of reading, written by a seasoned hospice counselor with the melodic name of Maria Dancing Heart, whom I suspect is actually two parts angel and one part spiritual counselor/hospice worker...
Editor's Note from Maria Dancing Heart Hoaglund: As an introduction to my work (as I begin as an Assistant Editor on the Energy Medicine page here on ATH), I wanted to post a few reviews of my books. My two books, The Last Adventure of Life and The Most Important Day of Your Life? come out of my many years of work with hospice as a spiritual counselor. They celebrate the body-mind-spirit connection and the many modalities that can help people relax, heal, and let go!

Reviewed by Gregory Shepard, ATH Co-Editor of Books for Healing
Based mostly on three seminars given in the early seventies not long after his arrival in the US, Chögyam Trungpa’s recent publication Work, Sex, Money: Real Life on the Path of Mindfulness offers timely and poignant teachings on spirituality in ordinary life. His early declaration, “Work, sex, and money are actually the energy outlet of society, its energy radiation, the expression of its sacredness” (4) reveals a positive and restorative approach to these, at times, controversial topics...

A growing number of citizens feel it is time to take back control of one of our most intimate resources... our health...
