These three Reiki Masters dug deeper into the history of Reiki and present lots of interesting information about how Reiki is still very active in Japan, as well as some original documents from Usui and Dr. Hayashi. It shows that the traditional story of Reiki and its legacy are somewhat different than what was reported and handed down by Hawayo Takata…..

Psychotherapy and Personal Growth – La psychothéraptie et la croissance personnelle

Inner Bonding

This is a wonderful book that shows you how you have been treating yourself as you were treated by reprimanding adults in your youth, and how you continue to do that to yourself now. It then shows you how to be a loving adult to that frozen child consciousness so you can take care of it in a new, wholesome way.

Non-violent Communication

by Marshall Rosenberg
An invaluable book on how to get in touch with what we are feeling and how to communicate to the other in truth, without blaming ourselves or the other and how to ask for positive change.

I love how Marshall says that anger is simply an emotion that helps us to recognize that a need is not being met, and how to deal with it so it does not get repressed and cause disease, or expressed in a way that may be harmful to ourselves and others.

Les mots sont des fenêtres (ou des murs) – «introduction à la communication non violente»

par Marshall Rosenberg

Un livre très spécial qui nous démontre comment contacter ce que nous ressentons et comment le communiquer aux autres dans notre vérité, sans se blâmer ou blâmer l’autre, et aussi comment demander pour des changements positifs.

J’adore la façon dont il explique que la colère est simplement une émotion qui nous signale qu’un de nos besoins n’a pas été rencontrer, et comment faire pour qu’elle ne devienne pas une maladie en la réprimant, ou qu’elle ne soit pas exprimée de façon violente qui fait du mal à soi ou à l’autre.

A New Earth

Eckhart Tolle

Q wonderful book on the Ego and all of its games. Eckhart tells us how it manifests, how to recognize it and go beyond it. He also introduces the Pain Body. I think I must have highlighted one or two sentences on every page!

La nouvelle terre

Eckhart Tolle

Ce livre est un merveilleux livre sur l’Égo et tous ses jeux. Eckhart nous parle de comment il se manifeste, comment le reconnaître et le déjouer. Il nous parle aussi du corps douleur. Je pense que j’ai surligné une ou deux phrases sur chaque page!

Pain Free

Pete Egoscue, Bantam Books

This is one of the best books on pain I’ve ever read. M. Egoscue shows us how the body should be aligned with the main articulations for proper load bearing and healthy movement. He explains that pain is a result of muscles compensating for others that have atrophied due to misuse or lack of use. He goes on to show us how many problems in one area of the body, such as the feet, are caused and related to other joints. He gives easy practical exercises to bring this back to health. I highly recommend it if you have any kind of joint pain. There are Egoscue pain clinics throughout the US. I personally visited one in San Francisco and am working with the program for my back pain.

Healing Back Pain

by Dr. John Sarno

In this book, Dr. John Sarno introduces the Tension Myositis Syndrome, which is in effect a trick that the brain uses to create pain in the body in order to help us avoid having to face undesirable emotions. He goes on to show how by simply being conscious of this that healing can happen.

I highly recommend this book.

Dr. Sarno pursues the explanation of the Tension Myositis Syndrome and how it is related to many common diseases such as back pain, fibromyalgia, colitis, etc. A truly valuable book.

The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders

by Dr. John Sarno

This book is a treasure! Dr. John Sarno explains how many common and chronic pains, including such conditions as Fibromyalgia, are in fact caused by a condition called TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), which is a way the brain creates pain in the body in order to help us avoid repressed emotions. Persons that are particularly vulnerable to this condition are those that tend to want to do good and those who tend to want to do things perfectly.

In this book he presents the syndrome and gives a detailed account of his program to overcome these conditions, without drugs, exercise or surgery. Then follows reports on several MD’s that have successfully used this diagnosis and treatment method for their patients.

Many people heal just by reading his books once they understand what is going on.

After reading this book, you may think twice about your food choices….
