Deep Sleep Hypnosis - Guided...

Reigo Vilbiks

When you have a worry or dis-ease, sleep on it. Sleep will heal anything. 
Deep sleep is the magic power we all have. Every night you have the opportunity to let it all go, 
and start completely new the next morning. 
Sleep allows our bodies to heal and our minds to sort through any problems so that we can create our future. 
Hypnosis and meditation are wonderful ways for us to access a slower brain frequency state, that is similar to when we are sleeping. 
This allows for the creative brain to activate and begin the process of manifesting your desires. 
Are you ready to go into a very relaxing state to allow yourself the deep sleep every night that you deserve? 
This guided meditation will take you on a journey into your body and beyond.  
The music and tones you hear in the background are Tibetan singing bowls which are bowed gently with a padded wooden mallet. 
These bowls create organic brainwave entrainment sounds also called binaural beats or isochronic tones. 
In this guided hypnosis, you will start to deeply relax every part of your body.  
When you fully relax, you allow more consciousness to flow into your body. This is the healing state.  
Your body-mind will relax completely until you start to drift off into a deep rejuvenating sleep. You will sleep like a baby. 
When you sleep, you will let go of everything that you don´t need anymore.  
You will be fresh and clean when you wake up in the morning. 
Your new life has begun.

When It Gets Dark - An...

Thomas DeBaggio

Adeptly navigating between elegy and celebration, fear and determination, confusion and clarity, DeBaggio delivers an exquisitely moving and inspiring book that will resonate with all those who have grappled with their own or their loved ones' memory loss and with death.With his first memoir, Losing My Mind, Thomas DeBaggio stunned readers by laying bare his faltering mind in a haunting and beautiful meditation on the centrality of memory to human life, and on his loss of it to early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In this second extraordinary narrative, he confronts the ultimate loss: that of life. And as only DeBaggio could, he treats death as something to honor, to marvel at, to learn from.Charting the progression of his disease with breathtaking honesty, DeBaggio deftly describes the frustration, grief, and terror of grappling with his deteriorating intellectual faculties. Even more affecting, the prose itself masterfully represents the mental vicissitudes of his disease—DeBaggio's fragments of memory, observation, and rumination surface and subside in the reader's experience much as they might in his own mind. His frank, lilting voice and abundant sense of wonder bind these fragments into a fluid and poetic portrait of life and loss.Over the course of the book, DeBaggio revisits many of the people, places, and events of his life, both in his memory and in fact. In a sense, he is saying goodbye, paying his respects to the world as it recedes from him—and it is a poignant irony that even as this happens, he is at the height of his remarkable descriptive powers. In his moments of clarity, his love for life's details only grows deeper and richer: the limestone creek where he has fished for years; his satisfying and lonely herb farming days; the goldfish pond his son designed and built in his backyard in honor of DeBaggio's passion for "any hole in the ground with some liquid in it"; the thirty years in his beloved home in Arlington, Virginia; his early career as a muckraker; the innumerable precious moments spent with his wife and son; his belated grief over his parents' deaths.

Dialogue: Habits of the Heart

John Backman

What often passes for dialogue these days is negotiation or debate. However, Backman feels the true aim of dialogue is mutual understanding rather than trying to convince another to see things the way we see them. He encourages us to practice true dialogue wherever we are: conversing with a stranger on a bus or at a gathering with extended family over dinner.

Introduction to medical uses of...

Pharmacology University

In 1964, for the first time, a group of scientists in Israel managed to isolate and synthesize one of the most controversial molecules from the plant: THC. The characterization of this molecule with therapeutic properties and highly psychoactive effects marked a milestone in the history of the cannabis industry and inspired many to investigate further. 
The research carried out to date has determined that this plant goes beyond what many might think. It is, indeed, a plant in which a large number of molecules have been identified as having therapeutic properties that can be used to improve the quality of life of many people who need it. Moreover, although the scientific niche in the world continues to research the benefits that cannabis can offer to humans, the advances offer a range of possibilities that cement the indisputable affirmation that this plant is beneficial. 
In this audiobook, you will learn why these molecules of the cannabis plant are and can be effective. In addition, you will discover a system that exists in the human body and of which it is rare to hear of, even in the training of a student in a medical school. You will also learn what your body has in common with the cannabis plant and how the body processes these molecules when its derivatives enter the system. 
Medical uses of Cannabis invites you to acquire knowledge about the medical and scientific advances that determine the proper use of cannabis to alleviate certain discomforts, symptoms of diseases, disorders, and pathologies. 
We invite you to discover the evidence that breaks with the scheme and the stigma that has surrounded the plant, learn about the current information that has allowed the therapeutic use of cannabis thanks to education, advances in science, technology, and medicine.
