    What would you say if I told you that your chronic health problems, or anxiety and depression, is likely caused by a blocked chakra or imbalanced energy in your body? - Would you like to know the methods of chakra balancing? 
    Then this audiobook was made for you. 
    The entire universe is made of energy, and your body is no exception. 
    Long before modern technology and science, ancient cultures knew that all living things carried a life force with them. They called the centers of energy that move inside of us - chakras. 
    Chakras Help to regulate all of your body's processes. From organ function to your immune system and emotions, they hold the key to your well being. 
    Anytime a chakra becomes blocked, underactive or overactive, it can throw you off balance physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. 
    Keeping a chakra open or balanced can be a challenge, but not for those who are aware of how they function. Since mind, body, soul, and spirit are intimately connected, awareness of an imbalance in one area will help bring the others back into balance. 
    The time has come to choose between staying in your current unbalanced state or taking matters into your own hands and permanently regenerating your spiritual and physical health.

  • The Wounded Spirit - This is Not Fiction It is Real - cover

    The Wounded Spirit - This is Not...

    Frank E. Peretti

    This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It's the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school-especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared-and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors! 
    In Peretti's case, deliverance eventually came-through time, through prayer, through a teacher's caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high food chain. And from the reservoir of those agonizing memories he sends a compelling message to victims, to bullies, and to authorities who have the power to intervene-that it's never OK for the strong to abuse the weak. And that we allow such abuse at the expense of our souls … and our very civilization. 
    Especially in the wake of the massacre at Columbine High School-perpetuated by two troubled but also tormented outsiders--this message takes on haunting resonance. Frank Peretti believes we cannot afford to overlook the continuing reality of wounded spirits, not only in our schools, but in our homes, churches, and workplaces. His approach is both tender and tough as he issues a ringing call for a change in attitude. 
    It's a call for all of us to stop thinking of abuse as "normal," even among kids. 
    It's a call for the strong to stand up and protect the weak, not prey upon them. 
    It's a call for those in authority to pay attention to the violence being done to the vulnerable in the midst of our everyday lives and to take action to help. 
    Most of all, it's a call for bullies and victims alike (many of us are both) to seek the healing and forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ. For that healing is really the heart of this book-the only reality that can break the natural cycle of victimization and abuse. 
    Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits-but that hope is powerful enough to change everything.
