Is unconditional love in politics an oxymoron? Thus far, it's been a rare commodity if it has ever existed. This book explores what we can do about it, as well as why both right and left have useful parts to play in our evolution, the factors that influence a person's tilt to the right or left, and what unconditional love might look like in this sphere.

Meditation is becoming increasingly popular, with both groups and individuals. Corporations are finding that meditation increases productivity. School teachers are using meditation with children, and doctors are recommending it for their patients. There are many approaches to meditation, but they fundamentally fall into two categories: guided and unguided. Unguided meditation is free form-one simply seeks to empty the mind and come into the present moment. Guided meditation is directed - one invites particular experiences. Guided meditation audio recordings abound. However, Meditations for Self-Discovery: Guided Journeys for Communicating with Your Inner Self is one of the first collections of guided meditations in book form. It is perfect for group facilitators who would rather lead meditations themselves than play recordings. For individuals, these "journeys" can be read silently as meditations or poetry, or be read aloud and recorded - it has been found that listening to guidance in one's own voice can make it more powerful. These meditations are designed take readers and listeners to new places within themselves, helping them feel uplifted and energized. Afterward, the meditation experience can be interpreted like dreams, providing insight into where one is mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are forty-five meditations in this ebook, each lasting about fifteen minutes, although they can be shortened or extended to meet the needs of those using them. Titles include "Journey Through Your Mind," "The Crystal Cave," "Visiting Venus," "The Angel's Gift," "A Friend Across the Universe," and "The Great Mother." Meditations for Self-Discovery is a valuable tool for leaders of personal growth groups, including support and therapy groups, healing circles, and classes of all kinds. The meditations can promote relaxation and self-knowledge, as well as help bring their group together. Doctors, nurses, therapists, and other healers can use the imagery in this book to create a healing atmosphere in their patients and among their staff. Members of the clergy may wish to use this book with their congregations. Children love meditation, and the vivid images in Meditations can stimulate their imagination as well as their self-knowledge - parents or teachers can invite children to draw, dance or musicalize what they experienced in meditation, and can discuss their experience with them afterward.

In this book, Shepherd Hoodwin explores the issue of evil from the soul's point of view, drawing on the channeled Michael teachings. Topics include karma, how souls evolve, the roots of evil, anger and fear, revenge, shadows, forgiveness, conscience, guilt, redemption, and love.

We live in a universe of energy. Matter is energy vibrating at a speed we are designed to perceive with our five physical senses, but the vast majority of energy is invisible to the naked eye. We each have a field of energy in and around us called the "aura." Learning to keep it clean and free from foreign intrusions can increase our health and well-being on all levels. This book is a short introduction to how to perceive our energy field and release negativity. Topics include chakras, contracts, vows, cording, entities, implants, psychic attack, earthbound souls, soul retrieval, and more.

Even at birth, everyone is unique. Can heredity alone account for the complex differences in people's temperaments and styles? The Michael teachings, an extraordinary body of channeled work, propose that we are each unique souls who deliberately take on a specific combination of traits to give us the experiences we seek. In this fascinating book, Shepherd Hoodwin expertly discusses these teachings from his vantage point as a Michael channel. "Michael" is a group of souls who teach that we are eternal beings journeying from the Tao and back again in an adventure of exploration and creativity. Each step along the way, we make choices that shape our experience. For example, after committing to a series of lifetimes, we choose one of seven roles, or soul types: server, priest, artisan, sage, warrior, king, or scholar. These teachings address many age-old questions, such as "How did we become who we are?" "Why are we here?" "Where are we going?" and "How does the universe work?" In addition, Journey of Your Soul sheds light on the channeling process itself, answering questions such as "How does channeling work?" "Why do different channels receive conflicting information?" and "What does it take to become a channel?" Hoodwin shows us that it is possible, and indeed beneficial, to engage all parts of the human consciousness. His unique analytical approach to channeling will help readers gain a firm intellectual understanding of what is involved. In his foreword, Jon Klimo, PhD, author of Channeling: Investigations on Receiving Information from Paranormal Sources, says, "Shepherd Hoodwin has given us one of the best books to date about the phenomenon of channeling. Journey of Your Soul may well also be the best of the Michael books due to its clarity, thoroughness, and detail, and thanks to the fact that the author, an exceptionally clearheaded Michael channel himself, brings real integrity and authenticity to our understanding of Michael in particular and to the channeling process in general."

Kasvaessamme ihmisolentoina elämämme tärkeimmät asiat liittyvät tavallisesti rakkauteen; rakkauden saamiseen toisilta, toisten rakastamiseen ja lopulta oman itsemme rakastamiseen. Monet tutkivat suhdetta omiin vanhempiinsa: missä määrin he kykenivät antamaan rakkautta vai kykenivätkö siihen lainkaan, ja mikä vaikutus tuolla kaikella on omaan itseen? RAKASTA SIELUSTASI käsittelee rakkauden syvintä olemusta ja tutkii rakkauden luonnetta eli sitä, mitä rakkaus on, millaista on rakastaa ja millaista on tulla rakastetuksi. Rakkauden oppiminen, rakkaus ja viha, itsensä rakastaminen, yksinäisyys, kuunteleminen, ystävyys, puolison löytäminen ja läheisyyden kehittäminen sekä seksuaalisuus - siinä muutama kirjan aiheista. Rakkaus haluaa kasvaa ja niinpä me, "ikuisuuden kipinät", olemme lähteneet tutkimusmatkalle katsomaan mitä tapahtuu, kun hakeudumme uusiin tilanteisiin ja esitämme kysymyksen: "Kuinka rakkaus selvittää tämän?"

People everywhere are looking for a higher perspective on love than the popular view of romance. Loving from Your Soul - Creating Powerful Relationships," an inspiring and unusual book by Shepherd Hoodwin, goes to the core of the issue by exploring the nature of love itself. It is a collection of discourses and counseling Hoodwin channeled from the Michael entity that views love as an eternal reality not dependent on other people or situations - it is something we can learn to access all the time through connecting directly with our soul. Michael is well-known to readers of metaphysical books. There are several Michael books in print, from the work of various channels, and most of them deal with a technical body of information called the Michael teachings. However, Loving from Your Soul is not a technical book. It deals with topics such as sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, friendship, finding a mate, and alternative lifestyles. These subjects are framed within a larger context of explorations such as "Loving Yourself," "Being at Your Source," "Different Ways of Loving," "Oneness," "Communicating Your Whole Being," and "Expanding Love." According to Loving from Your Soul, "Love is a unified experience that does not cut off any portion of your reality. When you are loving yourself, you are loving others. When you are loving others, you are loving yourself. When you are having joy in what you are doing, you are giving joy to the world - there is no separation between you and the world." "What does it mean to love and to be loved? People everywhere are seeking a higher perspective than the popular view of romance. This outstanding book goes to the core of the issue by illuminating the nature of love itself as a reality that is always available. Topics include sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, and finding a mate, framed within a larger context.
