New Book Seeks to Enlighten Readers to Their Greatness

The website for Journey to the Heart, author Ernesto Ortiz�s organization dedicated to spiritually inspiring others, defines Akashic Records as �the individual records of a soul from the time it leaves its point of origin until its return.� Helping individuals to understand this concept, Ernesto delivers his new book, The Akashic Records: Sacred Wisdom for Transformation. With his deep connection to the Akashic Records, Ernesto guides readers on a sacred journey into their own Akashic Records. �The Akashic Records� provides a thorough map of the energetic territory designed to help readers explore the many ways they can utilize the Akashic Records and the guidance of the masters and teachers. Ernesto was first introduced to the Akashic Records by Edgar Cayce, a renowned figure in the realm of body, mind and spirit health. Ernesto went on to devote much of the next 25 years of his life to the field, eventually becoming a teacher. Ernesto�s The Akashic Records is a book he hopes will have a profound effect on readers. The book is available at amazon.com, balboapress.com and journeytotheheart.com.

How to Make Herbal Tinctures
by Susun S. Weed / Herbalist, Author, Founder of the Wise Woman Center and Ash Tree Publishing
Tinctures are alcohol-based plant medicines. Alcohol extracts and concentrates many properties from plants, including their poisons. Alcohol does not extract significant amounts of nutrients, so tinctures are used when we want to stimulate, sedate, or make use of a poison. (Remember that nourishing herbs are best used in water bases such as infusions and vinegars.) The concentrated nature of tinctures allows them to act quickly. It also makes them perfect for a first-aid kit or herbal medicine chest: a little goes a long way.

Right Brain Dreaming
- Fourth Dimension

by Jan Engels-Smith / Founder of LightSong School of Shamanic Studies
Dreams blend event to event and are often out of time-line order and don�t necessarily make sense when we try to explain them. Often people will excuse the �craziness� of them by dismissing them as �only dreams.� We expect them to be whimsical, nonsensical, mystical, magical and wild, but we should pay close attention to the possible meanings that they impart and to the visions that they create. They enter through our right brain and we need to ponder them beyond the simple analytical efforts of the left brain if we hope to discover their deeper meanings and messages.

Clearing the Brain and the Mind: Focus on the Mind
by Pamela Arwine / Founder of Quantum Healing Energetics and Lemurian Light Healing
Repetitive thought patterns are like recordings in the mind, programs in the brain and neutral energy patterns in your field; it would do no good to understand them or try to rationalize them away. Imagine trying to hold a conversation with a message on your voice mail. It would be pointless. You could talk to it all day, understand it fully, and still the message would not change. What it takes to break the loop is the awareness of it and a willingness to surrender it.

Now the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck introduces an entirely new way for you to gain access to this wisdom and unlock its power. This set, designed by visionary artist Francene Hart, includes a 128-page 6X9 paperback book with 64 full-color oracle cards in a beautifully boxed set.
