What is it that makes yoga practitioners feel so good after a session--more so than after other kinds of exercise or stretching? Yoga was created to directly stimulate and move us at the energetic level, teaches Lauren Walker. Yet many of us don't have the time to spare for the kind of extensive regular practice we'd need to gain the full benefits yoga was meant to offer. That's why Walker created Energy Medicine Yoga--a breakthrough book that combines yoga with the most effective techniques of energy medicine to vastly increase the healing power of your practice. Created for yoga practitioners of any background or experience--even complete newcomers--this clear, easy-to-use guidebook features: Energy medicine essentials--key concepts about your subtle anatomy and its profound influence on your physical, emotional, and spiritual health- An eight-week learning plan for working with your body's energy systems--with practices focused on your meridians, chakras, vibrational field, and more
- Power poses--the most valuable if you do nothing else, do these techniques for each of your body's energy systems
- The 20-minute template--putting it all together to create your own custom-made, supercharged daily practice
Lauren Walker has adapted the renowned energy medicine methods pioneered by her own teacher, Donna Eden, so they integrate seamlessly into yoga movements and postures. Energy medicine yoga teaches you to take the things you're doing now, layer them together with complementary techniques, and exponentially increase the benefits of your practice, Walker explains. You'll learn to work smarter, not harder--so you can have a healthy body full of energy, zest, and joy for what life has to offer.

Today's world urges us to look outward for life's meaning and purpose--but our inner lives are the true source of the deeper knowing that gives life meaning. In Finding the Wild Inside, Marilyn Hagar encourages readers to discover that creative place inside us that knows there is more to life than we are currently living--the less rational part of ourselves that she calls our "wild inside," a place most of us have not been taught to navigate. Using stories from her own life--from infancy through caring for her elderly parents as an adult--Hagar shows us how, through playing in the arts, contemplating our nightly dreams, fostering our intuition, and reconnecting to Mother Nature, we can discover our own authentic wild self. Opening to this part of ourselves, she teaches, isn't so much a search as it is a listening, a curiosity, a playfulness, and a learning how to think symbolically, all of which can be cultivated. Most of all, it takes a willingness to lay down our egos and open ourselves to the awe and wonder of the wild universe of which we are a part. Instructive and inspiring, Finding the Wild Inside is a blueprint to living life from the inside out--and, in doing so, walking a path of authenticity and belonging.

They call it the Fort that Saved America. It is the winter of 1777. The Revolutionary War has raged for more than two years. In Pennsylvania, the British troops are in dire need of resupply. Those supplies sit in the hold of Royal Navy ships, which stand ready to sail up the Delaware River and deliver them to the hungry redcoats. Just one thing stands in their way: Fort Mifflin. Garrisoned by a die-hard band of ragged Colonials, the fort and its artillery batteries maintain a chokehold on the river. The British decide that Fort Mifflin must be taken at all costs, and subject it to a bombardment the likes of which North America has never seen. Thousands of cannonballs rain down on the fort while the British prepare to seize it. There can be only one outcome. 250 years later, Fort Mifflin still guards the Delaware. The spirits of phantom soldiers still walk its grounds. When a team of paranormal researchers comes to investigate, will the fort's long-dead defenders speak? Just who is the shrieking lady whose screams are regularly reported by visitors? Join Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Hospitals" and "Paranormal 911") as he explores the haunting of North America's most famous and historic fort.
