Detaching the World: Ambient Music for Massage, Relaxation, and Meditation
 "Detaching The World contains no percussion or vocals to detract from its soothing sounds. The sounds are only that - a sort of hypnotic background noise, like a computerized ocean. The purpose, the creators say, is to mirror breath, and the CD has that quality. It's dreamlike and gentle. The CD may not be for those who like melodies, but definitely is right for those who don't like to be interrupted by background music." - Massage Therapy Journal

The Ease of Being: Guided Meditations for Centering and Healing by Mary and Richard Maddux
 The words and music in these guided meditations arose spontaneously in the hearts of Mary and Richard Maddux, inspired by requests from Mary’s students and clients. The meditations emerged from a profound level of awareness, and this same awareness seems to be experienced by the listener through a kind of “resonance”. Mary and Richard have been overwhelmed by the positive response to this CD -- it is a great fulfillment to see the essence of one's work so easily transmitted to others. The guided meditations on "The Ease of Being” restore a centered state of awareness and facilitate healing. Repeated use of the meditations cultivates the ability to be present in the here and now and flow easily with life. While life will always present contrasting experiences -- pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, etc. -- everything can be lived with ease, without suffering. More and more, you can open to the perfect stillness and peace which is your true nature.

Sunshine and Snowflakes by Sharon Baldwin
 This CD is designed for the horseperson, but can be used with everyone from critters to kids. Sharon teaches her method in simple, down to earth, easy steps. She has been talking with the animals since the early '80s and has taught hundreds of people throughout the southeast. Sharon explains, "We all use telepathics on a daily basis, subconsciously. We used mind communication many eons ago and the memories are stored in our DNA. All I do is help you re-learn, so that you can use thought transference consciously." This CD brings you into focus, so that you can connect with all life using telepathy. The visualization she uses is done beautifully with the perfect background music to enable you to see through your mind's eye all that she describes. click here for more information

In Another Life: Reincarnation in America by Steve Sakellarios, Gold Thread Video Productions
 "In Another Life: Reincarnation in America" is a comprehensive overview of how Americans are encountering reincarnation. At the same time, it's an intimate visit with researchers, therapists, and ordinary people who share their first-hand experiences - from Tom Shroder, editor for the Washington Post who traveled with Dr. Ian Stevenson, to Jeff Keene, an assistant fire chief who had a sudden past-life flashback at the Antietam Battlefield Park, leading eventually to discovering his past-life identity. The show avoids sensationalism and yet is engaging; avoids ridicule, and yet is objective. The experts are highly credentialed, and the "experiencers" are sincere and believable. The latter portion of the documentary describes the introduction of Eastern spiritual teachings to American society, beginning with Swami Vivekananda's visit to America in 1893. "I watched your documentary last night on Denver's PBS--and I very much enjoyed it!!! ... You have brought a special light and energy to educating the public about the topics of reincarnation and karma, and I especially liked the way that you have honored the validity and integrity of those subjects." - Sydney Heflin, Ed.D., Research Chair, International Association for Regression Research and Therapies

Collaborative Spunk: The Feisty Guide for Reviving People and Our Planet by A. Gayle Hudgens, Ph.D. with Foreword by Dr. Karl-Henrik Robčrt
 "This is a book that addresses probably the most important tragedy of our times: the destruction of Community, without which happiness, well-being, sustainability, justice, development and reverence of life, are impossible to be achieved. The author argues convincingly, and shows a way, how to alter the collision course imposed on our global society, by dehumanized international institutions and greedy power groups for which stable relationships among people, places and things do not matter. This is a book one would like to see well used and read, in the hands of academics, students, politicians and concerned citizens in general." - Manfred Max-Neef, Profesor of Ecological Economics, Universidad Austral de Chile, winner of Right Livelihood Award, 1983
