Meeting Fairies

R. Ogilive Crombie

HC AUD30.00

Over forty years ago R. Ogilvie Crombie, or Roc as he was known, had a remarkable and life-changing experience in the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. In the remaining ten years of his life, Roc had many more fascinating encounters with nature spirits. Very nearly lost to us, his precious accounts of these meetings have been compiled and are published here for the first time.

Artist, thespian, storyteller and scientist, Robert Ogilvie Crombie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1899 and lived there for most of his life. Crombie abandoned his career as a scientist due to ill health, and moved from his town house in the city of Edinburgh to the country near Perth, Scotland, to be able to have closer contact with nature. This later developed into a communication with the inner spirit of the nature kingdom.

His accounts of some of these experiences are published in "The Findhorn Garden" a book about the early history of the Findhorn Foundation in the north east of Scotland. His verbal account of his encounters with nature spirits, accompanied by photographic slides of nature was part of the educational programme at Findhorn for many years. He was cited by his friend, the Findhorn co-founder Peter Caddy as a major influence. He died in the late 1960s.

Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul

Deepak Chopra

PB AUD33.00

This is the long awaited sequel to Dr. Chopras' bestseller, "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind". In that book he revealed the profound connection between our health and thoughts. In this book he shows us how to create a whole new self.

He explains how the body is a reflection of everything we think and feel. From early childhood we each have invented our bodies and personalities through our beliefs and our conditioned responses to everyday stress. Mostly we have done this unconsciously, which explains why we feel unfilled.

As you read through the pages he will guide you to reconnect with your ideal sense of self by a process of renewal and discovery.

ACT with Love

Russ Harris

PB AUD32.95

Our culture is filled with myths and stories about perfect love. The inconvenient truth is that they set us up for a struggle in day-to-day life. Author Russ Harris argues that there is no such thing as a perfect partner as the feelings of love come and go just like the weather.

Having said this, he attests that doesn't mean you can't have a joyful and romantic relationship.

Based on the mindfulness-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) he introduces a simple yet effective program teaching you how to learn to handle the painful thoughts and feelings more effectively and also engage fully in the process of living and loving.

The lessons include how to; let go of conflict by opening up and living fully in the present; using mindfulness to increase intimacy, connection and understanding; resolve painful conflicts and reconcile long-standing differences and act on your values to build a rich and meaningful relationship.

No Excuses!

Dr. Wayne Dyer

HC AUD20.00

This is the fourth kid's book published by Wayne Dyer and if the previous ones are anything to go by this will be a number one for Christmas 2009.

The focus is as stated in the title - "No Excuses". You follow the story of a young boy who has a dream to be a sea turtle specialist.

As he shares his passion with teachers, parents and friends he find that everyone has a reason why he can't do it.

And then he meets a lady who tells him that all his reasons for not following his passion are excuses or just words that stop you from doing what you want, being what you want and having what you want.

The book is inspiring and colourful which keeps attention as the words are read.
