He shows how to clear and activate the master pulses of the navel and aorta and synchronize these master pulses with the 52 pulses of the whole body for optimum circulation and energy balance. He explains the ancient art of reading pulses to diagnose organ health as well as how to recognize internal health states through the unique positions and shapes of the navel. Detailing specific Life Pulse Massage treatments for many common ailments such as lower back pain, sciatica, asthma, headaches, and reproductive issues, Master Chia shows how liberating the flow of blood and chi can prevent illness before it takes hold, revitalize the organs, and set the stage for optimum health.

Thousands of years ago Ayurveda described multiple levels of the radial pulse that could be used to interpret the status of the organs and systems of the body as well as the mental and physical constititions of the individual. For the first time in the west this book presents this ancient are and provides a method by which anyone can learn to read his or her own pulse. Imbalances and potential disease states can be detected in their early stages, giving one the opportunity to correct them before they affect the quality of life. With practice and guidance, one can acquire the proficiency to use this knowledge to heal self and others. This book will give guidelines to think about various ways of feeling, reading and gathering information through the pulse. It is quite difficult to put subjective experience into words. It is an attempt to express these simple ways of feeling the pulse.

Contemporary life is leaving us frazzled, overwhelmed, and out of sorts. Our life's rhythm is often borrowed from the pace of life around us. Humans have created such a loud, fast tempo of perfection and production that we often forget--if we ever knew it at all--the rhythms designed for our well-being. In The Sacred Pulse, pastor and author April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sacred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms--including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays--that are both sustainable and sustaining. Everyday acts like mealtime and shopping, and sporadic rhythms like the occasional snow day: reclaiming these patterns can remind us of the holy movement of God in the world. In a world of hustle and bravado, silencing the noise takes practice. The Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all of the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.

“Dr. Diamond’s writings in music are unique. No-one has shown more clearly, or described more inspirationally, the relationship between music and health.” — Peter Muir, Ph.D., Dip.I.M.H. Director, The Institute for Music and Health “This book reminds us what really matters: not the music of our heads and our fingers, but the music that streams from the heart of each one of us.” — Susan West, Ph.D.,Dip.Mus.Ed. Convener, Music Education Program, Australian National University At once informative and inspirational, this book deepens our understanding of the power of music and its ability to enhance our lives. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the topic, whether performer, educator, health professional, or music lover.

Finally, a book that gives you applicable, implementable techniques for how to boost motivation in all areas of your life-as well as the lives of others. You know "what" you should do in order to motivate yourself and others. So why don't you do it? No one has ever systemized the "How" to what you already know you should do. This book does! To experience consistent results in ourselves and others we need to do one thing: connect actions to outcomes before they are experienced. It's the value that is recognized when this happens that drives our behaviors and ensures our continued investment in a task or project. Most unmotivated people would never say they are lazy and it turns out most simply lack awareness of the relationship between their actions and their desired ends-and sometimes, they aren't even sure what it is they value. In order to motivate the unmotivated-whether that's ourselves, others, or both-we need to strengthen the synapse between actions and outcomes. The main character of this book is you and the supporting character is anyone in your life that you would like to motivate. To make it easier we will introduce you to a character we call Unmo. We all have an Unmo in our life that we would love to see be a bit more motivated. This book was written to show you how as a "how-to" book. This is for the motivator who has someone in their life that they are looking to help. This is not for someone trying to manipulate someone to do what they want (although this system can do that). We have found that the biggest take away from the system and techniques taught in this book is how it helps in ANY relationship. This is for you're wanting or needing to motivate the following... Employee - Child - Manager - Customer - Sibling - Boss - Spouse - Team - Friend - Parent - Client - Pet (literally) The system in this book is simple and you can see it below but the power of this book is the techniques we will teach you how to Motivate the Unmotivated in a symbiotic way that takes less energy and time from you but leaves lasting results for them.

Popular science at its very best, The Secret Pulse of Time awakens us to and empowers us with the idea that time is far more at our disposal than we have previously realized. Award-winning journalist Stefan Klein— whose previous book, The Science of Happiness, is a longtime international bestseller—here provides what are essentially “operating instructions” for time. Through a combination of original investigation and reportage, personal revelation, and a commanding presentation of scientific research (among disciplines including brain physiology, social psychology, philosophy, and Einsteinian physics), The Secret Pulse of Time teaches readers not only to better master time but also to understand why they so often fail to do so.
