The Unbroken Field
The Power of Intention in Healing
By Michael Greenwood
Cover/Illustrations by Miles Lowry
Alternative Medicine / Meditation
$18.95 CDN | $14.95 US
Synopsis
The Unbroken Field offers an integration of acupuncture, hands-on therapies, and current psycho-spiritual models, bridging the gulf between ancient perennial wisdom and modern medical science. The theme is simple, yet radical: Illness has profound meaning, and symptoms should be honoured and explored rather than be eliminated. Though the book contains information pertinent to both practitioners and the general population, it is readily readable to all and includes a very useful glossary elucidating the more esoteric concepts. Case histories and examples are uncluttered by medical terminology, and there are specific instructions about how to proceed with meditation and other self-caring practices.

The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales
by Marcia Grad
CDN $16.00
Synopsis
The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales is an enchanting and inspiring modern-day story set in olden times that symbolizes the journey we all take through life as we sort out illusion from reality, come to terms with our childhood dreams and pain, and discover who we really are and how life works.
Raised by a king and queen who are as strict and unaccepting as they are loving, the sweet, gentle Princess Victoria grows up dreaming of being rescued by a prince Charming, as in her beloved fairy tales. When she is rescued all seems right with the world-- until the prince turns out to be less than charming.
On the advice of a delightful, singing, banjo-playing owl, the princess embarks on The Path of Truth. Along the way, she nearly drowns in the Sea of Emotion, passes through the bewildering Land of Illusion, learns how to recognize truth at the Campsite for Lost Travelers, and enters the eye-opening Land of Is in search of the Temple of Truth and the Sacred Scroll. Finally, with the help of the owl and other unique, insightful friends, she discovers that fairy tales really can come true-- although not in the way she thought.
For all those who have struggled with childhood pain, with feelings of not being good enough, or who have given up their power to a hurtful prince, The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales proves that happy endings--and new beginnings--are always possible.
