1,000 Artist Journal Pages: Personal Pages and Inspirations (1000 Series)

15 reviews
Dawn DeVries Sokol

Quarry Books, 2008

How does one evaluate a person's soul?
How does a reviewer "Rate" or "Review" another artists' ART? This was a difficult task for me, because as my 1st sentence stated, it's quite difficult to rate an Artists' personal Art. Basically, it's like trying to evaluate a person's inner soul! This book is so well photographed & so detailed and colorful! Dawn DeVries Sokol has done a beautiful job at displaying all the entries that ...

Easy to Follow and Delicious Recipes!
I love this cookbook! The recipes are easy to follow and delicious, believe it or not! Rebecca Katz's philosophy is to experience not only nourishment (so important for those dealing with cancer) but also enjoyment from food. She provides lots of friendly and helpful commentary on the recipes; it feels as if she is cooking right alongside me. I've been having fun cooking and eating again ...

Dirk Benedict

Avery, 1991

Great book for everybody!
This is an excellent book. Dirk is an excellent author. This was the quickest read of non-fiction I have had in years. It is great getting a point of view of others, especially, when they write in a down-to-earth style you can understand. Dirk seems to be that kind of guy. If you are looking for a bit-by-bit blow from Battlestar Galactica or the A-Team...forget it. He only tells us a little ...

Master Lam Kam-Chuen

Simon & Schuster Inc., 1991

Must have book for beginners to Chi Kung
The past few years I've been practicing various types of meditation and decided I wanted to combine meditating with movement, so I turned to the internal martial arts (Qigong, Tai Chi, Xiang Yi, Ba Gua). After speaking to several internal arts teachers from sound linneages, they all recommended starting with Qigong, and to spend at least half a year only mastering several postures before moving ...

This book is very helpful to cross-reference with school manuals on trigger points. And the way that it demonstrates where the pain would be felt and how to alleviate it is very easy to follow. I would recommend this book.

A gift for mind, body and soul
I just received this gem of a book as a Christmas gift and have not been able to put it down. This is an easy to read, superbly insightful volume with quick, accessible and practical chapters that should be in everyone's bookshelf right at eye level. As an avid, long time collector of alternative (complementary) therapy approaches I find this to be the most comprehensive book I have ever laid ...

Houghton Mifflin, 1996

Helping physicians recapture their focus
I bought a copy for myself, and now I am trying to give a copy to everybody I know who is involved in patient care. Most of us went into the medical field with noble aspirations to take care of others and in doing so, to grow ourselves as human beings. The process of going through a medical education debases in many respects our initial aspirations. I read this book and found myself ...

The Reflexology Atlas

Bernard C. Kolster, Astrid Waskowiak

Healing Arts Press, 2005

excellent resource
I'm a professional Massage Therapist and Reflexologist and this is an excellent resource to use for my students. This book also covers the meridians, although I wish that aspect was a bit more exact in showing it on the anatomy. Very comprehensive. Packed with lots of good info including some ear. Big book size wise. Kind of quirky as I think the authors are European and some wording is not ...

Kenneth C. Crannell

Wadsworth Publishing, 1999

Outstanding
Ten years later, this book still comes in handy! Everything from accent reduction to improving the quality of your speaking voice is covered in Dr. Crannell's text. I highly recommend this book to anyone who uses his/her voice often- particularly for work. Voice and Articulation would also be extremely useful for a person studying English as a second language. This is one book you need when it ...

Intuitive Reiki for Our Times: Essential Techniques for Enhancing Your Practice

Amy Z. Rowland

Healing Arts Press, 2006

A Much-Needed Resource for Reiki Practitioners of ALL Levels!
So many reiki practitioners are taught how to do reiki, i.e, hand positions, varying symbols and techniques, meditation and so on, but so little time is actually spent helping the student of reiki to actually learn how to be OPEN to the intuitive flow that is essentially a part of true reiki practice. Most teachers, in fact, may not even be aware how to tap into the intuitive flow themselves. ...

This is an excellent companion for anyone who uses bach flower therapy. It is very informative providing in depth information on each flower, history, photos, the negative as well as positive side aspects the particular flower is used for and what I find particularly helpful are the focus ideas at the end of each chapter for refocusing your thoughts. Extensive questionairre, index, glossary. ...

THE ONLY BOOK TO ACCOMPANY EVERY LIANGONG VIDEO!!!
I just started practicing Lian Gong in 18 Forms about a month ago to finally get rid of all the tension, back pain, tightness, and inflexibility that western exercise such as weight lifting, aerobics, and rowing machines has caused me! I am completely amazed that in only one month I can feel it all fading away! I purchased every video available on Liangong, including the $100.00 set from the ...
