Author bio:
I am a mother of 3 wonderful children who have all flown the nest to persue their own lives. I presently live in Newcastle N.S.W. Australia with my partner. I began on my journey of spiritual awakening in 1988 and some years later began creating flower essences remedies whilst living in the Blue Mountains National Park in NSW. To date there now is a range of 64 essences available as well as a selection of combination mixes and products. The name for these essences, "Nature's Flowers of Life" ® was chosen to be in partnership with the "Flower of Life" sacred geometry which appears as a series of circles overlapping one another to create flower-like petals. The Flower of Life geometry shows us how the whole universe is interconnected and that we are all part of the universal spirit and life-force, not separate from it. To date I have my clinic in Newcastle where I work as a Flower Essence therapist together with Vibrational Energy and Sound Therapy healing.

Author bio:
Through a series of events, I found myself in beauty school in 2001, at the age of 53. I hadn’t been in a setting that required homework or memorization for a number of years. The other students were either close to my own situation or were young women who had chosen beauty school instead of college primarily because they struggled in high school. I developed little rhymes to help me learn the material at that time and thought about developing games and aids to ease the learning for others at a later time...when I was established in the field. Now, several years later, this series of booklets are the result of my initial idea. My dearest wish is that these study guides will help many more women achieve their dream and earn their cosmetologist license in esthetics.

Doctor, can you please fix me?? God's manual on health. by Free From Bondage Ministry Doctor, can you please fix me?? God's manual on health. by Free From Bondage Ministry Oct. 21, 2010 Free! 11356 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Free From Bondage Ministry was started just a few short years ago. As a newly ordained minister, I felt that too many people were tinkering around with God's Word. Translating it into what made them comfortable, rather than how God's Word could help them be accountable and truly righteous. And the stakes are too high to be tinkering. It is your eternal life you are gambling with. Because there is a distinct difference between saying to believe in God, and acting as a believer in God. And that difference could make all the difference for your salvation. The message from Free From Bondage Ministry is simple, yet not easy. But we have seen "miracles" that even many with a strong faith discard as "impossible". Which made us aware that the message we got from God needed to be brought to a bigger public. Hence these books. There is more information available at our website: www.freefrombondage.weebly.com And yes, we are a very small ministry. No bells and whistles, no fancy stuff. We use what comes our way to spread God's Word. So referrals are highly appreciated. May God bless you, Free From Bondage Ministry.

Selvhjelp ved tinnitus - Hvordan mestre plagsom oresus by Stein Thomassen Selvhjelp ved tinnitus - Hvordan mestre plagsom oresus by Stein Thomassen Jan. 03, 2012 Free! 26202 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Stein Thomassen er kunnskapsformidler med forkjærlighet for tinnitus og lydoverfølsomhet. Imidlertid bruker han mest tid på å lære seniorer å bruke PC og internett. I 2006 etablerte han nettstedet www.tinnitus-tips.no. Her finnes norsk oversettelse av viktige tinnitus-autoriteter som Pawel Jastreboff, Jonathan Hazell og Stephen Nagler. Dessuten en del egenproduserte opplysningsartikler, samt noen av arbeidene til Eva-Signe Falkenberg og Siri Skollerud. I 2007 utga han "Dr. Stephen Naglers Tinnitus-bok" for å få fram informasjon til de som ikke benyttet internett. Siden slutten av 2007 har han vært fast foreleser ved tinnitus-oppholdene ved Landaasen Rehab og ved opplæring av tinnitus-likemenn i HLF (Hørselshemmedes Landsforbund). Han har også holdt en rekke tinnitus-kurs i regi av HLF Oslo. Han har fått opplæring i TRT-behandling hos Pawel Jastreboff og har tatt halvårig deltids tinnitus-studium ved Örebro Universitet. Våren 2009 utga han boken "Selvhjelp ved tinnitus". Den solgte 1.000 eksemplarer i løpet av 2 år. Nå foreligger den som gratis ebok. Høsten 2009 kom www.facebook.com/tinnitustips på luften som en nyhets-/tips-kanal. Steins varemerke er engasjement og lettfattelig ordbruk. Han bekjenner seg til tilvenningsmetoder som TRT og kognitiv terapi. Det betyr at han ser på problematisk tinnitus som et fenomen som i stor grad kan bekjempes med (nevro-)psykologiske metoder. Hans egen tinnitus plager ham ikke (selv om den er godt hørbar i støyende omgivelser). Likevel mener han å vite noe om hvor håpløst mange tinnitusplagede kan ha det, for han hadde store søvnproblemer og befant seg på bunnen av et sort hull i 4-5 mndr for noen år siden.

20 Diet Myths - Busted. A Manifesto to change how you think about dieting. by Zoe Harcombe 20 Diet Myths - Busted. A Manifesto to change how you think about dieting. by Zoe Harcombe Aug. 12, 2011 Free! 10464 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Zoë’s passion is her vocation. Zoë spends her time researching and writing about obesity, diets and weight loss and she works exclusively in this field. She is author of the best selling book "Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight", which was the follow-up to "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim". The result of 20 years’ research into the causes of overeating, Zoë’s books go against traditional diet advice and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach. Zoë was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The paradox of escalating obesity and overwhelming desire to be slim has been a constant fascination to her and she set out to try to understand the obesity epidemic in the late 1980's, when UK obesity rates had just hit double figures. By the end of the millennium, UK obesity rates were 22.6% and 25.8% for men and women respectively and have worsened further since. By studying nutrition and, more importantly, by questioning every principle taught in nutrition and public health dietary advice, Zoë has found virtually every 'fact' to be anything but. From misapplying thermodynamics to five-a-day having no evidence base; from 1lb not equalling 3,500 calories to our eat less/do more advice being fundamentally flawed, very little has stood up to scrutiny. Zoë's most hardback book "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" is the presentation of what we have got wrong and the evidence for what would be right.

She is author of the best selling book "Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight", which was the follow-up to "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim". The result of 20 years’ research into the causes of overeating, Zoë’s books go against traditional diet advice and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach. Zoë was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The paradox of escalating obesity and overwhelming desire to be slim has been a constant fascination to her and she set out to try to understand the obesity epidemic in the late 1980's, when UK obesity rates had just hit double figures. By the end of the millennium, UK obesity rates were 22.6% and 25.8% for men and women respectively and have worsened further since. By studying nutrition and, more importantly, by questioning every principle taught in nutrition and public health dietary advice, Zoë has found virtually every 'fact' to be anything but. From misapplying thermodynamics to five-a-day having no evidence base; from 1lb not equalling 3,500 calories to our eat less/do more advice being fundamentally flawed, very little has stood up to scrutiny. Zoë's most hardback book "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" is the presentation of what we have got wrong and the evidence for what would be right.
