Summary

Murray River Lore explores the deep spiritual connection between the Murray River and the Aboriginal people, revealing the river's sacred status within Dreamtime stories and its vital role in cultural heritage. The book highlights the ancestral significance of the river, not just as a geographical feature, but as a living entity deeply interwoven with Indigenous spirituality.

 
Readers will gain insights into how the river serves as a pathway for ancestral spirits and a source of spiritual renewal, emphasizing the responsibilities associated with its care and the ongoing cultural practices that maintain this connection. The book provides essential historical context, examining the impact of European settlement on Aboriginal communities and their ancestral lands, while advocating for collaborative approaches to river management.

 
Through ethnographic research, oral histories, and analyses of Aboriginal art, it presents a narrative non-fiction account, weaving together historical accounts, personal stories, and cultural analysis. It progresses from introducing Dreamtime concepts to exploring specific stories and discussing contemporary environmental challenges, offering a unique perspective by centering Aboriginal voices and challenging dominant narratives about the Murray River.

    Crisis coaching with hypnosis

    Who is this hypnosis for:If you feel overwhelmed by a change in your life circumstances (a partner breaking up, confronting illness or loss in the family, a financial crisis, emotional pain from the past)… this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you restore a sense of peace and resourcefulness, an ability to get unstuck and flow again in your life.How it works:When overwhelmed by a life situation, we may feel like "I'm not going to make it through this one".Yet, we all have been through life challenges before and we all have our "success stories" in situations of crisis.We might not remember them, but they are there, in our past. And, fortunately, in our subconscious. These crises of the past and the way we navigated them are stored deep inside of us and hypnosis gives us access to them.Why is this important?Because when we connect to these situations in a hypnosis, we also connect to the natural inner resources we used back then to overcome the difficulties (it might have been strength or intelligence, self-compassion or insight, drive or empathy).More than that, hypnosis can also help us manifest these resources, bringing them forward to the present moment, as support in handling the current challenge.A feeling of confidence grows inside, as the helplessness recedes. Slowly, there is more trust that we can handle the situation and find the right solutions, as we become more and more connected with our inner resilience and natural drive to overcome difficulty.This 40 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis until you sense a feeling of confidence in your abilities has consolidated.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

    You Are More Than You’ve Been Taught to Believe  
     In A Class in Miracles, acclaimed voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz considers the dramatic steps forward in our understanding of the causative powers of thought—and what this means for you.  
     Mitch looks at some of the most extraordinary—even miraculous—recent developments in mind-body medicine, psychical research, and placebo studies and the lessons they hold for each of us. He does so with scrupulous responsibility but also a sense of endeavor and hope.  
    Mitch specifically considers how you can use meditation, directed thought, affirmations, and the natural suggestive cycles that your psyche enters twice daily.  
    A Class in Miracles also looks at the history—and unresolved predicaments—of mind metaphysics and how the field can grow. Mitch describes how spiritual seekers and researchers can merge their search for a new conception of human potential.  
    This succinct yet wide-ranging survey expands the possibilities of the human psyche. 
     
    “Horowitz affirms that every human being has the innate ability to bend reality toward a particular result…Encouraging exploration, he provides understanding, exercises, and tools to make our visualizations, affirmations, and prayers effective." ―Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews  
    “Mitch Horowitz is a no-nonsense historian specializing in matters of metaphysics, New Thought, and the occult. His works don’t stop at mere description of these movements but often delve into method and experience, inviting readers to test the transformational potential of these waters for themselves. A trusted voice on esoteric topics…”—Unity Magazine

    There is hope for recovery from Lyme disease and other chronic illnessesIn Starving to Heal in Siberia, Dr. Michelle Slater takes us on her journey from her bed, where she was sidelined much of the time, to Siberia, where she was cured of the debilitating effects of advanced Lyme disease. After a years-long struggle with extreme chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and other mysterious symptoms that ultimately prevented her from teaching and doing simple tasks like reading and driving, Michelle began considering assisted suicide. She had tried every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies, without success. In a last-ditch effort to save her life, she found a radical alternative treatment offered by the world’s leading expert on dry fasting and traveled to Siberia to give it a chance.       Starving to Heal in Siberia is both a moving and insightful memoir of recovery from devastating chronic illness and a practical guide to the science and psychology behind safely dry fasting. If you are curious about intermittent fasting and the research on dry fasting, this book offers compelling and useful information. If you are a doctor who has had to tell your patients to adjust to the chronic symptoms of an autoimmune disorder that didn’t dissipate under your best care, this book offers new hope. And if you struggle with chronic illness or love someone who does, this book is an antidote to despair. Michelle’s thoughtful account of her wellness journey provides similarly afflicted readers with the tools and encouragement to begin their own.
